We have outgrown our online store!

Scrapbook Generation will be making an exciting change...soon!

After only one year, we have outgrown the scrapbookgeneration.com online store.

COMING SOON:
• a completely revamped website

• more product space

• better features and functionality (including an easy-to-use wish list,
product comparison, themed gift cards, ability to check gift card balance, and more)

• improved user capabilities and navigation

• improved (and seriously fun and flexible) customer loyalty program

• a centralized experience, with everything SG in one place, including the blog

• better shipment tracking capabilities

To make this change,
scrapbookgeneration.com 

will be down for about a week.
This will happen soon, but we don't know the specific dates yet.

Why you need to know this.
• Please download any items you have purchased but not downloaded as soon as possible (downloads will not transfer into the new system).

Don't worry!
• Customer information transfers to the new site. If you already have an account, you will only have to set up a new password.

• Customer loyalty points will not transfer, but we are reviewing every individual's purchases, and will start each of you off at the new site with the credits you have earned (and credit for any unused loyalty rewards). With the new loyalty program, you'll be able to earn extra points for a variety of activities, and you'll be able to choose from several rewards.

• Gift cards from the current store will transfer.

• If you have any questions, we'll be happy to help.

Themes gone wild kit sold out in less than 24 hours!

Thanks so much for the great response to our first "Themes Gone Wild" kit! It sold out in less than 24 hours!

Based on this initial success, we are working on themes to offer in coming months. The basic concept is to offer themes for which you might have large amount of photos -- enough for an album, even -- and need a solution for getting them scrapbooked in a cohesive way.

Kits will be designed by Debbie Sanders and Allison Davis. We hope to tell you soon what the February "Themes Gone Wild" kits (yes, I said kits!) will be.

Announcing...Themes Gone Wild...SG's new kit style!

We're giving a new style of kit a spin. It's what we think of as Mix-and-Match-Kit-Meets-SG-Kit! We've gathered papers, cardstock, embellishments, stamps, and ink, and combined it with eight double-page layouts designed for you by Debbie Sanders. Best of both worlds!

You'll receive all the products shown above, plus eight sketches, a cutting guide, and eight photos of the layouts.

The Themes Gone Wild beach edition kit is $75, but if you pre-order by February 1, the price is $69. The kit will ship on Monday, February 2.

Since this is a trial run of this new kit style, the quantities are very limited. If this kit is received well, we'll be back with more Themes Gone Wild in future months!

Themes Gone Wild...Beach edition contents

-- 9 double-sided patterned papers
-- 2 double-sided pocket-page card papers
-- 1 die-cut paper
-- 1/3 sheet striped paper

-- 1 12x12 sticker sheet
-- 50 die-cuts
-- 1 clear stamp set

-- 13 sheets cardstock

-- 1 mini pigment ink

-- 1 chipboard camera (size,  color may vary from photo)
-- 1 cork camera (size may vary)
-- 3 wood veneer cameras (sizes, styles may vary)
-- 1 bronze anchor
-- 2 wood veneer sailboats
-- 2 wood veneer anchors
-- 6 chipboard stars (sizes, styles may vary)
-- 50-75 sequins

-- 5 yards jute cording
-- 2 yards tan bakers twine
-- 2 yards seafoam bakers twine
-- 2 yards aqua bakers twine
-- 1 foot bronze tulle

-- 8 double-page layout sketches
-- cutting guide for the 8 layouts
-- 8 photos of the double-page layouts

Here's a closer look at the embellishments in the kit.

Special events for January - April

We have two kinds of crops planned for the coming months, plus a special weekend event hosted by our friends from For Keeps Sake in St. Louis.

First, we want to make sure that everyone knows that, out of necessity, we have added a cancellation policy for our crop events.

Last year, we announced the entire year's schedule at one time. This year, we are announcing the crops every four months, to try to help people from signing up early in the year and then finding out they have a scheduling conflict when the crop nears. We've never had a cancellation policy, but because of situations last year which left us with empty seats and not enough time to fill them, we unfortunately must institute one from a business standpoint.

NEW FOR 2015 - CANCELLATION POLICY
* NO CASH REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR ANY CROP PAYMENT
* ALL REFUNDS WILL BE STORE CREDIT

* cancel 30 days or more prior to the crop -- store credit of FULL amount paid
 (to Springfield store or scrapbookgeneration.com)

* cancel 14-29 days prior to the crop -- store credit of 50% of the amount paid
(to Springfield store or scrapbookgeneration.com)

* cancel 13 days or less prior to the crop -- no refund

(Exclusions will apply as needed for illness and family emergencies.)
