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).

My New Year's resolution is to keep up with my running and my word for the year is THRIVE! I want to strive to thrive this year instead of just "survive" the day to day. I'm promising myself 4 days of exercise, 5 days of scripture study, and 3 days of personal/fun reading a week.

My word this year is BEGIN. I tend to be a bit of a procrastinator but this year I really need to make more conscious choices about my job, health, education and the well-being of my family. So far I have begun to make sure my family (and I) have healthier food choices available and Monday brings a new quarter of classes working toward my degree.

My word "grow". I want to grow in health, in love, in friendships, in family, in marriage, in fitness, in career and in me. I want to learn how to be a better person in all these areas, but mostly I want to be better to myself. I have started today by making a plaque for my craft room. I have stitched the word grow and a cute flower onto cardstock and hung it in my craft room to remind me everyday to GROW. Happy New Year. Thanks for this awsome chance.

As one of my "connections that never was" I am going to call both of my brothers. Yes, that is where I will start but I'm not sure beyond that.

My word for 2010 is Peace. My goal is to simplify my business life and personal life so that there is more peace, calm and traquility. I will decoupage some wooden letters to display my word of the year on my goals board...something I did last year and loved!
Thanks for this inspiring project and super great giveaway, Ali!

What a great lot of goodies to giveaway. One of my resolutions was to declutter and redesign my home so yesterday we spent the day cleaning out my two youngest sons rooms, sending the unwanted good stuff to the second hand store, throwing out or recycling the rubbish and rearranging their spaces so they are more spacious and efficient for them. At the end of the day I had two very happy boys and one very happy me. Now to move on to the two oldest boys rooms (maybe not so easy :-)

My word for 2010 is "purpose". Whatever I choose to do each day, I will do it with purpose. Hopefully this will help me really think about the things I do and the reasons for doing or not doing something.

I think I may have just figured out my word. LIVE. So often we go through the motions, but I want to LIVE my life. I want to experience it, not just do it. Yep, I think this is the word for me.
