Here are a few of the activities we have planned for you.

one each sponsored by My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Echo Park, Fancy Pants, and
Simple Stories

Saturday, May 4

National Scrapbooking Day Super-Saver sessions:
We'll be making three layouts from a new summer line by one of the most popular manufacturers. (The collection isn't available until later this month, but the company is sending it to us early so that we can get the layouts made to show you -- hopefully next week!) The pages will be bright, cheerful, and perfect for photos of summer activities.

More info about the Super-Saver sessions:
• You'll need to register and pre-pay for sessions at 10, 12:30 or 2:30;
• Cost to make the three layouts at SG is $9;
• If you attend one of the three sessions, you will receive a free set of Thickers alphas, a $5 value;
• One person in each of the three sessions will win a $50 gift card;
• Because of the extra numbers of people who will be involved on NSD, no kits will be available (other than for those people who are members of the Super Sketch Club);
• If you are attending the NSD crop on May 3-4 and want to participate in the Super-Saver, you need to register and pre-pay, but you do not need to choose one of the three session times. We'll have a special session for you in the building next door, with the same gifts and prizes as those that will be given away in the store.

Would you be willing to offer the layouts to the online people? I would be willing to prepay, i just feel like we miss out on these because we live in another state. we love ns day also.

Kristy: This is usually the only time we don't offer a kit for any of our Saturday activities during the year. Because of the larger than normal number of people involved in-store, and because we have to order the materials prior to sign-up, this is our way of making sure that we have enough materials to cover both the people attending and the Super Sketch Club members. If you want to call us with your name and number, we'll be happy to put you on a waiting list and if we have extra kits, we would love to get one to you. Thanks for your interest! -- Debbie
