Clear Scraps Giveaway
Today's giveaway is sponsored by Clear Scraps. They recently generously donated some product for an upcoming benefit class/make + take I am doing in Southern Oregon. These are my four favorite products in their clear mini-book line-up:
6x6 Tab Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
All Mixed-Up (6 pages, 3 ring)
Scalloped Square Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
8x8 Tab Album (5 pages, 3 ring)
Here's a recent minibook I did that was featured in my Studio A column in the August issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine using the Scalloped Square Album:
Notice the square punch + corner rounder again?
For this album I used paint as an adhesive. I ran the outer edges of the squares through some paint and laid them down onto the acrylic. It definitely smears as you push it down, but that was part of the fun. I used much more paint on the transparent pieces and less on the photos (the photos are backed with other photos allowing me to adhere them to the acrylic album).
[ supplies : album: Clear Scraps; transparencies: Hambly Studios; paint and tiny alpha letter stickers: Making Memories, "the easter egg is pretty:" vintage ]

I've been putting off finishing an album of our vacation to the east coast in 2005. I started it right after I got into scrapbooking and haven't finished because I'm not sure that I did a good enough job on what I've already done. I want the pages to flow together.

there are two major projects i've been putting off--1. my wedding album (and it's been 3 years--yikes!) b/c i feel like it needs to be 'perfect'-whatever that means. and 2. an album from my trip to uganda this summer working with orphans--there's a lot of emotion from that trip that i still haven't processed!

I have been putting off all of my "old" photos (pictures of me as a child, etc.) and I don't really know why. Part of it is that all of the photos aren't in great shape and I am one to really highlight the photos. I know that's just an excuse, because the story behind the photos is what's important!

I have been putting off doing an album of all of my grandmother's pictures. I've always wanted to do a heritage album, but can't get motivated and creatively inspired to start it!

I've been putting off a mini album of my trip to Florida this past April. I brought a 'ready' album with me that I did the basics of at home before I left (from your inspiration) but it was a busier trip than expected so I didn't do much there... and it ended up being a picture heavy trip. I'm having trouble pairing it down. But I need to do it. I want to do it. Thanks for reminding me about it!

Honestly, I have not been putting off anything. I really don't make a list of things I need to scrap. I just get inspired and then scrap away. This way it stays fun for me and not overwhelming...no pressure! Lovin' those clear albums.

We are in the process of moving. I put off documenting the last time we moved. I would like to document it this time. the changes in our lives...

Wow, great giveaway!I have been putting off our christmas album from last year, mostly because the pictures are just not inspiring me. I would love one of these albums to create a december album like the one you did last year. Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh, my goodness. Unfinished projects? Coincidentally, I just made a list this week. I have a ton of stuff to complete, from a half done album of a trip to Italy in 1999 to a printers drawer that I just bought a couple of weeks ago.
I have perfection paralysis that holds me back. I'm trying to conquer it, really I am! LOL

I've been putting off my DD's Disney album for 6 years now - reason being, I took her photos with film and I don't really like how washed out and blah the colors are :( so I don't feel inspired to scrap them.
Now that I think about it, add to my list DD and DS baby and pre-school photos :( simply because I am prioritizing current photos and I can never seem to find the time to fit these photos in :(

I have a couple of mini albums that require very small photos. Since it's more work to print out smaller versions of my 4X6 regular sized, I keep putting it off.

Graduation layouts for my daughter who graduated in 2006. I think I just don't want to think about how fast she grew up and how far away she is now...

i have put off scrapping period. not really by choice- just have so much else to do. and I just have not been in the mood for all the mess. i do not have a dedicated scrapspace. just a dedicated storage space- so sometimes the thought of pulling everythin out makes me cringe and do something else.
but I have all these jenni bowlin kits that are just screaming at me to make something. i have considered quitting my subscription. but I love LOVE getting my kit in the mail each month!!!
Thanks for the giveaway fun.

The album I've actually been putting off (v. just not finding time to play with) is an acrylic album -- I planned to print pictures of a Chihuly exhibit on transparencies and put them in an acrylic album (get it - glass, transparencies, acrylic??) -- but the pictures haven't really turned out well on transparency. So my concept is "off" .... and I'm thinking on a new concept!

mine is my wedding album - it is half done -and i did it 'simple style' (before simple was even 'cool' LOL)
but i ran out of cardstock and can't get teh same colour ... so just can't decide what to do .. to chance half way through - or to start over

I'm very busy with two classes at BPS, so although I'm scrapping 1-2 hours a day (a record for me!) I'm putting off working on two gift mini albums for our friends who invited us to their cabin at the lake on Labor Day weekend. The photos are printed, the paper is chosen and I have all the embellies I need. Truthfully, this would only take me about 3 hours to complete. So why am I not doing it? Okay, today's the day. I'll get started right after breakfast!

i've been putting off doing an album on my Mom. She passed away 3 years ago from cancer and i find it very difficult to do anything other than look at the photographs of her.

I've been putting off doing my daughters' (x 2!!) school formal albums. I've got heaps of papers and embellishments together but I just can't seem to progress beyond that. I think, like others have said, it's the wanting them to be "perfect" thing. I so have to let go of that!!
Thanks Ali.

I have this really great photo frame I purchased at an auction about 1 1/2 months ago. It looks like a window with 9 openings. I want to paint it white, then in each opening share my family's faith with photos, words and trinkets. I was inspired by the shadow box project you created!!!

My procrastination in completing last year's Halloween mini has been blamed on wanting to try an invisible bindery technique. I've located a supplier and need to just finish it already! I vow to blog the completed thing by the second week of Oct.

I've been putting off scrapping my dd's photos from her softball season this year. Probably because I only took over 1,400 pics this season, LOL! So it seems overwhelming to me right now.
Totally love the clear albums!

Love the clear scraps albums! I've been putting off my wedding album. It's been almost two years now, and I don't even have our engagement scrapped. My DH keeps asking me about it, and says "Why do you do all those other projects and not our wedding album?". He keeps joking that at some point I'm not going to be able to buy any more supplies until I start on the wedding album....
