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).

I am like a few of your readers not sure what my word for the year is and have a few ideas and goals for this year but I am already starting the new year off in a positive way first I have learnt to work my sewing machine I have only had it for 8mths and instead of talking about learning I finally did. I organize my closet and have been working on my creativity and have started a gratitude journal and I have a huge yearning to explore and a my best friend and I have just talk about going to singapore in april for our 40th birthdays so in the last 3 days I have made some huge steps Thank you for always inspiring me not just to scrap but to be the best I can be!

I was going to pick JOY b/c it's my middle name and I need to strive to find it in every thing I do, but I am leaning towards another word in which I need to GRASP the idea of possibly being single or "alone" the rest of my life and enjoy it regardless if love finds me. I plan on being selfish in finding my own happiness...and seriously looking into alternative ways to have a child.
So any words that come to anyones mind would help. FEARLESS, SELFISH, as you can see, I'm still working on it.

I love the idea of having a word for the year but I've not come up with anything quite yet. One thing I have on my list of goals for 2010 is to start walking 3 times per week. It's time to get moving! :)

I've thought about this for a while...my word is COMMITMENT. It applies to many areas of my life. A commitment to better health. A commitment to plan more family events. A commitment to scrapbook/journal more. A commitment to read more. A commitment to live more "green". My commitments will be a part of my life. Thank you for your inspiration.

My word is balance. So far, in order to acheive a better work/home balance, I have started to schedule my 'going home' time into my work diary and therefore achieving more time at home. So far, so good :)

My word for the year is: Self. This year I want to take time to do the this that I enjoy, WITHOUT, feeling guilty. I realized that I spend all of my energy doing things for my family, work, or friends and not enough for myself.

My resolution this year is to get healthy. Besides exercise & diet, I'm going to try to be more aware of what my body needs. Hopefully in the near future, my doctors will be able to find answers & a cure. No more weekly treatments, please!

I haven't decided on my word for sure, but one of the main things I am working on is being a better mom. I want to spend more quality/focused time with my child. Thanks for the chance to win!
