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).

my word for this year is CREATIVE! I feel like I'm not creative every day and I really want to be, especially since my kids go to school for 6 hours each day.
When I return from my vacation tomorrow, I plan on making a CREATIVE sign for my scrapbook studio to hang up and remind me that each day, I should be CREATIVE!!!

My word is RELEASE so I will be letting go of, well trying to let go of the annoyance my baby brother causes me. I have been letting what he does bother me so much I anger myself constantly. So this is the year to let what him and what he does go. Thanks for the chance!

Thanks for all the amazing freebies! My word this year is SAVE. I'm finding all kinds of creative ways to apply it to my life (the original intention was to save $$$) But today I found myself "saving" weight watchers points and had to chuckle. I wasn't intentionally doing it. But my word crept into my consciousness as I was totaling them up.
My action item is a bit more purposeful and more difficult. I LOVE Starbucks and have fallen into the expensive habit of indulging every day! So, I've gone COLD turkey in an attempt to save money! But the best part is that every time I have the urge, I put the money I would have spent into a jar labeled "Paris in the Fall."

Hello ~ In relation to my word - STORY - I am working on my daughters college graduation gift that involves her journey to adulthood, and a memoir of my life's moments interspersed in her life's moments, which I'm sure I will find will be parallel to one another.

My word is BALANCE. After going back to teaching full time in November after being home for 7 years, I am going to seek balance between work and home, which I know is not going to be easy. Today I worked for awhile AND spent time playing with my son, cleaning can wait...baby steps.

My word for this year is FAITH. I created a daily spiritual journal where I will write daily how FAITH entered into my life on that day. It is going to be quite the adventure and an eye opener!
