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.
Here's a bit about Lisa and her business:

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!

It was really a toss-up between STRONG and FOCUS -- but having studied the definitions for both, I believe that FOCUS is my true word. The synonym for FOCUS us center, heart, core. So my action is to take steps to make God, not me, the center, heart, core of my life -- my FOCUS. And today that begins with prayer.

One of my resolutions is to scrap more, and an action I will be taking to make sure that happens is printing my pictures as they are available so that they are ready to be scrapped as I have the time.

I wasn't gonna do the whole word thing, but I kept seeing it EVERYWHERE in blogland and a word just came to me without even thinking about it. GO! That's my word for 2010 and it means so much. I want to put up a vinyl cutout on the fridge that says GO. So when I want a "little" snack, this word will be in my face saying go away from here or GO take a walk or GO to your crafting room. I would love to have that necklace on when I have a chance to share my faith with someone. It can remind me to GO spread the word of God's love. And instead of just blurfing around looking at great projects, I will be motivated to GO make my own and even GO submit them to calls. Ahhhh, a little scary, but so very thrilling!! Here's to a year of GOing.

I am focusing on the journey rather than the destination. So I plan to scrap and preserve our memories simply this year instead of racing to finish a book or layout. I will scrap when I can instead of it becoming a job. I want it to be fun again

everyone was looking and/or having a word for
2010 that I feel like trying to be otherwise.
I guess I'll be going along the lines of "accomplish"

My word is "hope." I have started a little "giving back" campaign to the hospital where my baby was for 50 days before she passed away. I am currently selling some scrapbook supplies and all proceeds will be donated to the hospital. I am also collecting another round of journals (the first set was donated right before Christmas) to give to the parents whose babies have a long term stay in the pediatric surgical heart unit so they can document their journeys, which is something I am so grateful that I did.

Hi Ali! I have 2 words for this year. The first one is Peace, and the second one is Balance. I think that I can find more peace if I balance my work, my family, and myself a little bit better. I also want to find peace in the decisions I make throughout my day. I think the 2 words work perfectly together. Thanks for a chance at the wonderful gifts!
