Readers Gallery submissions for January...

Wow! Thanks so much for the great response to our first call for submissions for Scrapbook Generation's CREATE.

We received hundreds of layout and card projects from all over the United States, plus France, Scotland, Canada, Israel, The Netherlands, and Australia!

We'll notify you on or before Monday, Nov. 25 if your project will be published in the January issue, and ask you to submit a new photo that meets the specifications for the magazine.

And next week, we'll release the three sketches that we'll use for the submissions for the February issue. Then with the March issue and forward, the sketches to use will be published in the magazine, with a two-month delay. For example, the January issue will have the sketches for the March Readers Gallery.

Website progress!

Over the weekend, we saw SG's new website and tested its features. We love it!

All of the items we wanted included to make your shopping experience smooth and pleasant are there, and we are extremely pleased with how all the parts work together.

So many other things to like, as well.
• The blog will be part of the website, so all SG information will be in one place for the first time.
• You'll be able to post your layouts and other projects to the gallery.
• There's a great mobile version of the website to use on your phone.
• You can create a wish list and keep it private, or make it public for family and friends.
• There's a fantastic reward program which will be unveiled along with the website.
• If needed, you can view the website in just about any language known to man.

Almost all the changes we need to make are cosmetic, so it looks like we are within a few weeks of having it ready to share with you.
