Christmas greetings with Tammy Roberts...

Tammy Roberts has created four beautiful Christmas cards and two tags for her December class at SG. As always with Tammy's classes, expect to learn some fun new techniques. She'll also have a few touches done for you, like the machine stitching which is one of her trademarks! The class will be held Tuesday, December 6 at 6 pm, and the fee is $15.

To see close-up photos of all the individual items, click here to go to Tammy's blog.

To register, give us a call at 417-886-0440. (Don't wait too late...the class is already over half full of people who didn't need to see the samples to know they would be making something charmingly festive!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Black Friday.
Small Business Saturday.
Cyber Monday.

For the first time, we participated in all three of these start-of-the-Christmas-shopping-season activities, and we'll definitely be doing that again.

Thank you so much to all the people who stopped by our store to shop on Friday and Saturday, and thanks as well to all of you who ordered one or more of our Sketches for Scrapbooking and Sketches for Cardmaking books online on Monday. Wow!

The economy is definitely doing some crazy things to people's buying habits, and we're so thankful that you chose to shop with us. For lack of a better way to describe it, we're blessed!

Email newsletter apology...

I'm so sorry that recently I often end up having to send out a corrected copy of the SG email newsletters. Here's what happens: for some reason, my camera has started sometimes giving photos duplicate numbers. When I place the photos in the newsletter and send myself a copy, everything looks great. When I send it out to thousands of people, if I've let two photos slip in with the same number, then the most recent one bumps out the older one and I have a photo that doesn't match the story.

So, apologies for once again having to send out a replacement. And if anyone knows how to keep a camera or computer from reusing the same numbers, I'd love to know that trick!

Card Party class, first sneak peek...

After great classes the past three months, SG's Card Party class continues in December with the same 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 Allison Davis. This is one-third of the projects you'll be making in the class. Allison's projects will show how easy it is to make a card from a sketch. You'll receive a computer sketch of the featured card that can be used over and over for cards of any topic.

This Card Party class takes place Thursday, December 8 at 6 pm. The fee is $15. To sign up, call 417-886-0440.

As soon as possible, we'll show you Katrina Hunt's and Stacey Atchley's cards and tags.

Super-Saver Scrapbooking layouts for December

It's time for Christmas trees, ornaments, and plenty of holiday activities -- and SG's popular Super-Savers are the perfect match for your family memories. Our December layouts are just waiting for your photos!

Here's a look at the three layouts we'll be making Saturday, December 3 in the Super-Saver Scrapbooking sessions at Scrapbook Generation. As always, your cost to make these three layouts at SG is an amazing $9. Give us a call to register and pre-pay. Sessions are held at 10, 12:30 and 2:30. And don't forget that you'll get one punch on your Studio G Reward Card. Don't have a card yet? No problem...we'll make sure you get one!

Please call early (417-886-0440) to reserve your spot! If you can't attend and would like us to make you a kit, the fee is $10 and is due at the time you request the kit.

Note to Super Sketch Club members: Yes, materials for these three layouts will be included in your December kit!

Smash books...

Right now, our poor Smash book display looks rather sad after Black Friday! I've re-ordered the whole thing three times already, and the fourth order is on its way and should arrive on Wednesday. The Smash books and all the fun accessories have been some of the best-selling items we've ever had. People are buying them not only for themselves, but also as gifts for others.

So if you haven't jumped in the middle of this fun activity yet, we'll have a new supply of everything Smash book by mid-week.

We're so excited!

For some time now, we've had the most pitiful gift cards on the face of the planet. We had tried several styles of do-it-yourself-crafty ones over the years, but usually just ran out of time and did the quickest thing that would get us by until we needed another batch.

Now we officially have nice gift cards like the big guys! Our order arrived just now, and we can't wait to start selling the new cards and tucking them inside their cute matching holders. Hope several of you get them in your Christmas stockings this year!

Cyber Monday!
