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!

I chose peace for my word this year. 2008's word was charmed and 2009's word was grace. I think this year I am ready for peace. I posted my choice on my blog yesterday. Each week I am going to post a quote regarding peace that inspires me. In the weeks that I have the time I also plan on making word art out of the quote so that I spend more time with it and thinking about it. I like to put word art on my pages and then make my pages my wallpaper on my computer. Little by little peace will fill my life.

What amazing, amazing giveaways! Thanks to you & your sponsors for the chance to win.
I'm using "active" as my main word and joining you with "story" as a second word. I have to become more active again. Some family situations helped throw me off track with my exercise routine over the past 6 months and I must get back into one. It makes me feel so much better so it's time. I took your BPS class and loved it so I'm feeling like story should be in their somewhere also since the class had such a huge impact on me.

My word is MAINTAIN. Yesterday, I made piles of like items on my dining room table. These piles are for finishing my December Daily album. I put scraps into a baggie for use next year and stored the things (more patterned paper, tags, word stickers) I have already used and will not need. I also set up a box for my tools (glue, ruler, glue dots, stamps, ink) and have that at the ready for any of the remaining layouts.
Thanks, again, Ali.

My word is "Balance". I have a 2 year old and another baby due in May. My husband and I both work full time and overall have a busy life. My word reminds me that my family always comes first and to make sure that I am present (emotioanlly AND physically) with whatever I am doing.

I have not settled on a specific word but do know that rather than thinking about doing something (anything) I will DO it.

My word is POSITIVE. I want to get all the negativity out of my life and become for positive. If someone or something becomes negative in my life, I will try to not get worked up and act on it.

Hi Ali! My word for 2010 is "aware." The action associated with my word is to live with more awareness on a day to day basis rather than just going through my life doing the things that I have always done. Thanks for the chance to win!

My word for 2010 is CALM. For me, this year is going to be all about learning to say no, finish the projects I already have, and have time to just slow down and enjoy life! I made a great word collage on wordle.net and printed it off. I haven't decided where I'm putting it yet, but it will go somewhere I will see it daily.
Great giveaways! And thanks for the inspiration of One Little Word. I'm so excited to try this idea this year.

I don't have a word for the year. But my resolution is to move it more! I've been too lazy for too long and need to become more active. I want to find some fun things that I can do every day and work this body.

I'm still working on my word of the year...I downloaded the worksheet you referenced and I'm letting the ideas "percolate" The words I"m leaning toward are "FOCUS" "STREAMLINED" & "SIMPLIFY" I feel like my life travels in all different directions without any real sense of completion, and I want to improve that! I really love your digital overlays!

Every day as I look around me, I realize how "blessed" I am. That is my word for 2010. (And it would look awesome on a necklace!)

my word is courage, and courage for me this year is to pursue my dream of becoming a jazz singer by applying for several different schools even though auditioning is one of the scariest things I know. courage, courage!

I need to focus more on my health this year, losing weight, eating right, exercising more... if I'm not well, everyone in my family suffers and that just isn't right. So for me, it's focusing on me this year.
