Grand Re-opening 'golden ticket' winners...

Congratulations to the five golden ticket winners at our grand re-opening Saturday! And thanks so much to the five companies that so generously provided goodies for the gift baskets. We wanted each basket to have $100 worth of product, but each basket ended up with amounts well over that!

Thank you American Crafts, We R Memory Keepers, Pink Paislee, My Mind's Eye, and BasicGrey...you're awesome!

Don't forget...

That Saturday is our grand re-opening celebration!
• Doors open at 9 am.

• We'll have FOUR checkout registers so your wait will be as short as possible.
• We'll have dozens of new paper collections (including groups by Pink Paislee, Creative Imaginations, Best Creations, My Little Shoebox, The Paper Company, Fancy Pants, and more (Cosmo Cricket's groups may arrive in time, too!)

Super Sketch Club shipping...

The second shipment of Super Sketch Club kits just left SG! If you joined the club March 26 or later, your kit shipped today through USPS. (And since we had to do another batch of kits, we made a few extras...we have about 10 left.)

Tammy Tutterow's Saturday class...

Guest teacher Tammy Tutterow has shared her project for Saturday, April 30! Above, photos of her Saturday class, the  “Made From Scratch” binder album. The fee for the 10 am class is $40. The binder album features Pink Paislee "Butterfly Garden" papers and embellishments, Wendy Vecchi's new Art Parts, and Tim Holtz Idea-ology items. There are lots of interactive elements and templates for pockets and envelopes.

In order to feature all the new techniques and products involved, this is a lengthy class, at least four hours. There will be a short lunch break at noon, and you can bring a lunch or have something delivered to SG. Class fee is $40.

We're so fortunate to have Tammy visit and share her expertise with us.

Finally!

It's taking many men and many trucks, but it appears that we'll finally look like a store again. Our sign is being moved next door to our new location today, and it's been one of those exhausting messes you sometimes get into. Between the rainy weather and the fact that when the building was remodeled a couple of years ago our sign was "embedded" in about 6 inches of stucco and foam, it has taken extra time (and of course, extra money) to get the job done. Despite all that, can't wait to see the finished look!

Super Sketch Club shipping...

I promised the scrapbookers on Two Peas that I would post here when we shipped the Super Sketch Club each month, so here's what I know.
• If you joined the club before March 26, your kit shipped today, March 29.
• If you joined the club March 26 or later, your kit will ship on Thursday, March 31 (there was so much demand and so many new club members this month that we had to order more supplies!).

Next week is a great week for classes!

Scrapbook Generation's grand re-opening is this Saturday!
We hope you can join us Saturday, April 2 for one of our over-the-top celebrations of all things scrapbooking! We have tons of fun planned for you as we welcome you to SG's new home. We won't have all the remodeling done for this special event, but much has been accomplished since we moved to our new spot, and we're ready to show it to you!

Goodie bags...

The first 300 people who make a purchase of at least $15 will receive a goodie bag with a value of at least $25. The bags contain an SG page kit made from My Mind's Eye papers, a Cosmo Cricket mini-album, and a few other surprises. (This offer is for adults only, one per family.) To help with "crowd control," we'll hand out numbers (like we did at our November 2010 birthday hoopla) so that you don't have to stand in line, although we suspect that some of you get a kick out of that! The advantage to this system is that you can come back and shop at any time during the day and still get your goodie bag!
