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!

Balance is my word this year! I will do better to balance my family time, work time and church time better. All are important-just need to make sure I'm giving each one the appropriate attention and not neglecting the others. Big job ahead!

My word this year is excess. I am getting rid of excess stuff, excess weight and excess negative thoughts. Also just a note on your Yesterday and Today class that I just finished, AMAZING!. It has truly changed the way that I tell my families stores and has made me realize that my stories are important as well. Thank you for a great class.

Well, I'm still trying to decide on my word and resolutions, so maybe it should be "decisiveness" or "commit" or "action"!

My one little word was blessed, so the main thing I am doing in relation to my word is to believe and have faith that I am blessed and things will work out in 2010

My action this year is to "give" of myself and to follow-through on the nice thoughts I have for people or for doing things but never get around to doing.

My word for this year will be "Acceptance." Who I am, what I do and cannot do and belief in myself. Thanks for the opportunity!

Health! I am going to continue to eat better everyday! I started this last summer and it is hard to always make good choices, so it is an ongoing process!
Thanks for the giveaways!

My husband is big on making resolutions and is always bugging me about what mine are. I jokingly tell him that I don't make resolutions I just try to be the best person I can be every day. I'm really half serious though and would like to conciously "try" hard every day. If you really try at something you're bound to be successful right?

My word is SIMPLIFY. This weekend I have gone through about half of my bedroom and have purged/donated things I do not need/use anymore. So far I feel GREAT about it, and I am looking forward to simplifying my life even more as the year progresses.

Happy New Year! After much deliberation over my (looong) list of words, I have chosen "choose" as my word. I intend to choose to: be/do/think/feel/and live incoporating my list as I go. I envision this enriching my family, personal, and work life in a powerful and positive way. Thank you!

I have been playing around with a few words & have settled on PEACE. I struggle with an eating disorder & today I want peace with my body & food. I'm currently in treatment so I am actively working towards this peace. I feel hopeful that it can be found. Thanks ali!
