We'll be making these three layouts Saturday, July 7 in the Debbie Sanders Super-Saver Scrapbooking sessions at Scrapbook Generation. As always, your cost to make these three layouts at SG is an amazing $9. (The retail value of the materials you'll be using is over $10.)

Give us a call at 417-886-0440 to register and pre-pay. Sessions are held at 10, 12:30 and 2:30. And don't forget that you'll get one punch on your Studio G Reward Card. Don't have a card yet? No problem...we'll make sure you get one!

Note to Super Sketch Club members: Yes, materials for these three layouts will be included in your July kit!

KITS:
• All kits must be requested before the class activities take place on Saturday.
• The fee for a kit is $10, and is due at the time the request is made.
• If you need the kit shipped to you, the shipping charge is an additional $5.99.

Katrina Hunt and My Mind's Eye!

Want proof about how great our Card Party teachers are? Katrina Hunt just had the card and tag she taught in the June Card Party class here at SG pinned by My Mind's Eye on its Pinterest business page. Check it out...it's super cute!

New addition to the SG staff!

We're happy to announce that Lindsey Amschler will be joining the SG staff! Lindsey will be working Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and we're ready to put her to work this Thursday!

Lindsey has wonderful papercrafting credentials, including being published in Cricut Cards magazine, and being a guest designer for October Afternoon. She's also sweet, helpful, and knowledgeable -- just what we've been looking for.

We thought that the explosion of the Super Sketch Club about a year and a half ago was under control, but that club is continuing to expand, and now, the sales of the other kits we're putting in our online store each month has exploded as well. The addition of Lindsey to help with customers and kits will allow us to keep growing!

Scrap-a-Palooza #11 was a hit!

It's over...and it was a success! Scrap-a-Palooza #11 was so much fun, and it had several firsts, including our first chocolate fondue bar and our first "dancing intermissions." You haven't lived until you've seen 250 gals doing the Hokey Pokey!

Thanks so much to everyone who attended, and especially to Katrina Hunt, Nikki Sivils, and Lindsey Amschler for their expertise in teaching the free classes and conducting the demos. They are all so wonderful about sharing their knowledge about papercrafting with others.

By far, it was our most financially successful Palooza. We can't tell you how much we appreciate your business. And it was so nice of so many of you to stop one of us during the day to tell us what a good time you were having and that you appreciated our hard work. After the craziness and fatigue of getting everything organized and prepared and set up, you can't imagine how good that makes us feel. See you in September!

Thanks from Karin, Debbie, Allison, Stacey, and of course...Jeremy!

Some kits are already sold out...

If you can't find a kit in our online store that is shown in the post below, it's because the kit has already sold out. For example, the Days of Summer kit sold out very quickly, so it was removed from the online store. Wish we could have made more of them!

Five new multi-layout page kits now available in SG's online store

There are five new page kits available now in our online store, scrapbookgeneration.com. (All five kits will also be available for purchase at Scrap-a-Palooza on Saturday, and also here at SG beginning Monday, June 25).

In addition, we sold out fairly quickly of two of the largest kits from last month (Stars and Stripes and Beauty Full) and were able to make 25 more of each kit. Once those are gone, we won't be making more. They'll go to the quickest shoppers!

And just to make things a little more fun, we've also added almost 20 additional one-layout and three-layout kits that we've created from previous store activities over the past several months. Quantities of most of these kits are extremely limited.

Seaside kit by Debbie Sanders -- $30 (five double-page layouts, five sketches, color photos)

Vintage Vogue kit by Debbie Sanders -- $40 (six double-page layouts, six sketches, color photos -- includes full sets of metal title signs, ephemera, and chipboard stickers, plus four wooden spool tops!)

Days of Summer kit by Debbie Sanders -- $36 (six double-page layouts, six sketches, color photos) Extremely limited quantities of this kit -- only 25 total kits available.

Journey kit by Debbie Sanders -- $20 (three double-page layouts, three sketches, color photo)

Heartfelt kit by Debbie Sanders -- $12 (two double-page layouts, two sketches, color photo)
