Sponsor Giveaways : Studio Calico, Memory Works, Lisa Leonard, & Designer Digitals
Three people will win the entire Home Front collection (papers, stickets, journaling cards, and FabRips) from Studio Calico.
The concept of Studio Calico began long before it was a reality. In 2000, while working at a local scrapbook store, April developed an appreciation for innovative supplies along with a respect for preserving memories. Thus, the concept of combining fresh products with non-traditional scrapbook supplies emerged.
At Studio Calico, we hope to encourage the creative process by providing the best supplies on the market as well as a community that is supportive every step of the way.
In the past 2 years we've grown from an idea, to a small boutique of sorts, to manufacturing our own products. As we've grown, we've stayed true to the basics, while looking to the future.
Three people will receive the lovely Word Of The Year necklace from Lisa Leonard Designs.
In addition Lisa is offering a discount for readers. Enter "myword15" for 15% off your purchase.

One person will receive the Life Documented kit from the new Simple Stories collection by MemoryWorks.
Your photos and memories are far too important to keep in a box, store on a computer or bury in a pile. We know life is busy and at times it feels nearly impossible to keep up with all of life's demands - yet alone find time for the things you enjoy like your scrapbook hobby and preserving your memories.
If you're overwhelmed with too many photos...
If you're feeling guilty for not being "caught up"...
If you're overloaded with creative pressure and unrealistic expectations...
If you're stressed because you don't have enough time to scrapbook...
If you don't know where to start...or worried if you can even keep up...
If you're frustrated with the process of traditional scrapbooking...
If you're looking for a better way...
Then you will love our simple and refreshing approach to scrapbooking!
MemoryWorks is beyond thrilled to introduce the new, exclusive Simple Stories scrapbook system. You can view our video here. Our innovative system was designed for scrapbookers of all levels who want to share their life stories and memories in a simple, yet meaningful, way - but without the time, guilt or stress of traditional scrapbooking.
Life Documented, the first collection in our Simple Stories series, is all about documenting a year in your life like never before. Our Life Documented kit allows you to share your story in a whole new way, while getting back to the basics of what scrapbooking is all about...your photos and memories. We've done all the work for you with our exclusive Simple Stories system - with beautiful pre-designed elements that you simply trim, add your journaling and then insert into pockets - along with your 4x6 photos - for quick and easy scrapbooking. No cropping. No adhesive. No stress. It's as easy as that - sharing your photos and memories has never been easier!
In addition to the giveaway here, we're giving away a FREE Simple Stories Life Documented kit, with coordinating divided page protectors and embellishments, a retail value well over $35. Visit www.mysimplestories.com for more details.
Three people will receive my new 365 Photo Overlay kit from Designer Digitals.
This digital package includes 365 overlays, one for each day of the year. Designed to fit right on top of a 4x6 photo, these overlays also work really well as journal cards. Perfect for a 365 or week in the life project. In addition, all brushes and overlays on are sale this weekend at Designer Digitals (through Tuesday morning at 6am Eastern).
To be entered into this weekend's giveaways please leave a comment below letting me know one action you are taking in relation to your word of the year or your own personal resolution/tradition. Comments will be closed on Sunday evening at 8pm Pacific with the winners posted shortly after.
Happy New Year!

My word for the year is "Calm." I am going to remain calm and not let things get to me. I don't want to let stress into my life.

My word for the year is PEACE. Peace within myself, within my family, within the world, with those who have hurt me (or who I have hurt).

My word for the year is Patience. I need more and I need to foster it. I need it at home, at work, and in my personal relationships. My standards for myself and my loved ones are too high. I need to listen more and talk less, I need to be in the present rather than in my head with lists of things needing done. That list is never finished. With patience will come more joy in the moment, and it will help me see the little successes.

My word is CREATE! I want to create a peaceful home for my two boys, husband and myself. I want to create hapiness for those around me. I want to create so, so very much and this year I will. I am going to start with a little digital mini book creation in just a few minutes! Happy 2010!

My word is GRATEFUL. I have also decided to try to do a picture a day, and my subjects will be what I am grateful for that day. New Years day it was put to the test and it made a big difference in how I looked at the challenge that was put before me:)

Love, love, love these giveaways! My word this year is family. For part of this year's plan, I am going to write to my grandmother (the only grandparent I have remaining) at least once a month and gather her stories, history, views and values related to family matters.

After taking your Yesterday and Today class, I am really trying to embrace the concept of pictures and stories. I am committing to taking a picture-a-day in 2010 and documenting my life, no matter how mundane it seems at times! Thanks for your inspiration & helping me see the importance of telling the story of me!

This year my word is grow. As I created a list of goals for this new year, I created them so that they each reflected the concept of grow in some way.

While I love the message behind story, I'm going with simplify this year. My hope is that by simplifying I'll have more stories to share.
Happy New Year Ali!

My word for 2010 is breathe. I am going to use this as my mantra to relax and take life as it comes. I am constantly reminded by family and friends that I am a pessimist. I am going to try to be more optimistic and live more in the moment instead of thinking about the worst and over-planning/over-managing my life and the lives of those around me. Thanks for the concept of One Word and for the giveaway. Hope the New Year brings all you and your family wish!
