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!

My word this year will be 'ME'. I know it sounds selfish but I really need more time for myself. I'm always thinking about other people and not about myself.

My word is EXPERIENCE. I'm moving overseas and hoping to do more and plan/procrastinate/shop less. I want to get outdoors more, hang out with family and friends more and do all the things I've always said I'll just do later... now.

Wow wonderful giveaways! Love the necklace!
Last year my word was discipline and I am still trying to work on that aspect of my life so this year my word is focus. I want to focus on the things that are really important to me and my family. I think that will help to blur out the stuff that really isn't all that important.

My word for the year is Faith.
I bought a new bible (pink and chocolate brown!) so I will have my own again... don't know what happened to the one I had growing up... too many moves between ages 18-35.
And we have found a church that we think is a good fit for our family and have introduced our boys to it... working on making that a regular habit.

My word this year is TIME. I have made some "daily" goals I hope to accomplish, then I have one area of life to focus on each month. I have a journal I am prepping for weekly entries on my progress with time this year.
Thanks again for the inspiration!

I have to keep reminding myself of my words because it's easy to forget when you are in the middle of daily life!
Thanks for the chance to win!

My word for this year is MOMENT. Live in the moment, cherish the moment, be fully present in the moment. With my two young kids, I easily get caught up in our hectic schedules.
Great giveaways Ali!

Every year I try to be better than the year before....I think abou things I could have handled differently and I try to act in the new year to life my life more genuinely. I just want to make sure I'm always changing and trying to be better than I am.

My word is Fearless.... so the first thing I have already done is post a layout in my art studio so I can be reminded of intentions this year...
The second thing I did was get out my sewing machine, the books and just start sewing... no rules, no comparisons to others... just have fun and see what I can learn and create without the perfectionist expectations I normally put on myself...
I'll let you know how it all turns out ;)

My word of the year is action. I intend to be motivated at all things, be it, putting things away, exercising, doing something. I've started with removing paper clutter on my desk, and it's about time!

My word for this year will be WORK. Hopefully finding some for my husband and children, keeping it for my son and expanding mine with my more scrapbooking workshops. However I will also be working at relationships between family members and catching up with friends.

I haven't chosen a "word" yet...but my goal for 2010 is to run a half-marathon! I have always wanted to do one and this is the year!!!!!! So, perhaps my "word" should be "action"!

I don't know for sure, but I think my word will be "manage." My family has lots of changes going on this year, our second baby girl arrived in October, my husband is graduating from Pharmacy school in May, we're buying property and moving our life to a home, etc. With all the change comes lots and lots things to manage: my body, our health, our home, our budget,etc. I'm looking forward to the challenge!
