Scrap-a-Palooza registration link change
Midwest Family Broadcasting changed up its radio station line-ups and websites as of yesterday, so that means that the links we've all used to register for Scrap-a-Palooza are no longer working. The event is filling fast, so please get registered soon if you plan to attend!
This is the new registration link for Scrap-a-Palooza.

Lindsey's new stamps!
Who knew that when we hired Lindsey Amschler to help us at SG a couple of months ago that she was going to have a line of acrylic stamps?!
Lindsey and her "Sugar Kissed Cottage" digital designs have been brought to life by Lil' Inker Designs. The three sets, School Girl, Rain Boy, and Surprise, are based on vintage images. The clear stamp sets include a large image and several phrases perfect for cardmaking or scrapbooking.
We'll have all three sets of Lindsey's stamps at Scrap-a-Palooza on Saturday, September 8. She's going to do a free mini-class using the stamps and washi tape to make a cute card. We'll be selling the stamp sets there, but if you know you would like a set and want to go ahead and reserve one, that would help us know if we need to do a second order to have enough on hand.
Congratulations, Lindsey!

Good (kit) news!
We'll have some awesome kits for you tomorrow!
A couple of months ago, we offered two kits that both sold out in about an hour. One was travel themed and one was summer themed. We only had enough materials to make 25 of each kit, and I had thought that the manufacturer was out of both paper collections. Since the kits were so popular, I contacted the company, they were nice enough to search their warehouse, and so now we have a pleasant surprise!
For the summer kit, I was able to get the identical papers and stickers, so we will be offering the original six-layout kit with our release on Tuesday. Even better, I was able to get additional coordinating papers, so I made a small companion kit of two layouts.
For the travel kit, the exact materials weren't available, but I was able to get enough papers to make a similar six-layout kit, and it will be available tomorrow, too.
Allison has also made some really cute kits, and we have great themes for this time of year: summer, travel, and school.

Facebook contest ending soon!
If you haven't already, go to our Facebook page (click here) and share our Tuesday post about the August sketches downloads. We're giving away two $100 shopping sprees, one to a long-distance customer and one to a local customer for sharing this post with others. The $100 gift cards can be used in our online store or here at our Springfield location.
We're trying to spread the word about our new downloadable products. The contest ends at midnight on Sunday and we'll announce the random winners on Monday.
Answering your questions about our downloadable sketches and classes:
• All sketches are new and haven't been published in our books before. In addition, they won't appear in any future print publications we produce.
• The sketches and classes will remain in our online store for an indefinite period of time.
• We've had a few people inquire about seeing the sketches before they buy them. Unfortunately, we are unable to show the sketches prior to purchase without giving people the ability to copy the sketches without paying for them. We hope that people are familiar with the quality of design work that the SG staff produces, understand the need for this decision, and will purchase the sketches knowing they will always be our best work.
Some of the comments we've received on Facebook and on message boards:
• "I really like the various options available, and they're so reasonable! I mean, 89¢ for a sketch and three sample layouts? Great deal!"
• "I love getting sketches this way. Just buy the ones you want, and the price can't be beat! And the free sketch is just so sweet of them!"
• "I downloaded all of the sketches yesterday. They are awesome! I hope that they will keep them coming."
• "So pleased the prices are reasonable!"
• "I love the free August sketch! Love this idea of buying sketches online!"

Debbie on KOLR-10 today
I'm going to be on KOLR-10's Live @4 show today demonstrating baby
layouts. I think I'm on near the end of the show -- probably about
4:45ish. My biggest problem is figuring out what to wear!
When we've been on before, it's been at 2 in the morning, well, not quite that early, but close. We'll see how good I can do when I'm actually awake!
Hope you can tune in. I'll take your critiques later!

Special sale for a special reason
This past week, our mail included one of those puffy, overstuffed envelopes that usually contain a bunch of legal stuff that you need an interpreter to understand. However, we knew what this wad of papers meant, and it was stamped clearly...PAID IN FULL!
A little less than eight years ago, Karin and I made a huge decision and took out a Small Business Administration loan in order to start Scrapbook Generation. We spent the money on fixtures, computers, inventory, and more.
We had 10 years to pay the loan back. There were times in the early years that it was a stretch to make the payment each month. But with your continued support, we're so excited to share with you that we were able to pay the loan back more than two years early! No more payments!
To celebrate, we have a special sale for you all this week (August 6-11).
• 40% off all My Mind's Eye products (papers, embellishments, clear stamps, collection packs, 6x6 pads, and more!)
• 40% off all Christmas items
• 50% off all Doodlebug matching cards and envelopes
• 50% off all Authentique individual sheets of 6x6 paper
• 50% off three styles of cardstock that we've packed in grab bags of 10 assorted sheets each: Tim Holtz cardstock; Core'dinations distressable cardstock; and Bazzill pre-pierced stitching design cardstock
• Ribbon and twine grab bags: buy one, get one free
Thanks so much for helping us make Scrapbook Generation a success story!

August 'Card Party' class, final reveal...
SG's Card Party class for August continues a great concept...three teachers, three cards, three tags, three stations, and three totally different approaches to cardmaking.
Today, we're showing you the card and tag that will be taught by Katrina Hunt. If you've never tried fringe scissors before, you're in for a treat! Katrina will show you how to easily get cool effects for cards and other projects by using this innovative product.
This is one-third of the projects you'll be making in the class. Amy Roller and Lindsey Amschler's projects are shown in an earlier post.
This Card Party class takes place Thursday, August 9 at 6 pm. The fee is $15. To sign up, call 417-886-0440. This continues to be our most popular class. Hope you can join us!

Can you believe it?
It's time for another Scrap-a-Palooza! The next one is just a little over a month away on September 8, and I just wrapped up the final orders for paper collections. There may be a few stragglers added over the next few weeks, but right now, we'll have 93 new collections ready for you, including all the gorgeous new Halloween, autumn, and Christmas collections.
In a few days, I'll post the names of the groups here on the blog so you can start drooling!

Special visitor to SG!
Several times in the past, I've mentioned the mega-thread on the Two Peas in a Bucket message board that has helped transform our Super Sketch Club into an international success. On Wednesday, we had the pleasure of meeting Leslie, the Texas gal who started the thread's conversation and in the process, helped make Scrapbook Generation and its products known far beyond the Springfield area!
Leslie started the thread in March of 2011, and it's still going strong more than a year later, with over 155,000 views and 4,153 comments as of this morning. No other conversation on Two Peas even comes close! Other message boards like Creating Keepsakes, Willow Traders, and Scrap Buddies also mention us frequently, but this single thread on Two Peas has taken on a life of its own. We've met many new friends because of it.
This week, Leslie and her mom and young son vacationed in Branson, and took the time to stop by SG on their way home. Leslie is like all the other Peas we've met in person -- very nice, easy to talk to, pleasant, and fun! It was really a treat for us to get to meet her and tell her in "real life" how much we appreciated what her post has done for our business.
She's very modest about it all, and I know she didn't foresee what has happened because we didn't either, but it HAS happened, and we're so grateful! Thanks, Leslie, for making time on your vacation to stop by and meet us!
