As requested...

A couple of weeks ago, some of the members of the Super Sketch Club asked about a Halloween page kit. We promised that we had something in the works as an October add-on for SSC members. Here it is!

Sophisticated Halloween add-on: Two double-page layout kit with sketches and color photos. $16 (free shipping for Super Sketch Club members; $2.99 shipping for non-members)

Happy Halloween add-on: One double-page layout kit with sketch and color photo. $12 (free shipping for Super Sketch Club members; $2.99 shipping for non-members)

We also have a package deal with a price break! Purchase both kits for a combo price of $24, a savings of $4. If you are a Super Sketch Club member, shipping is free because we'll be able to add it to your regular package. For others, the shipping fee for the combo of both kits is $3.99.

Orders for these page kits must be placed by 7 pm (central time) on Thursday, October 19. These are limited quantity kits, sold on a first come, first served basis.

Orders may be placed in two ways:
• send an email to orders@scrapbookgeneration.com
• call 417-886-0440

Scrapbook Generation Birthday Countdown:

26 days until Saturday, November 5!

Join us for the celebration...

From now until Saturday, November 5, the red, yellow, and green balloons logo above will signal more fun details about Scrapbook Generation’s huge seventh birthday party are being revealed. Every few days between now and then, I’ll let you in on a little more of the excitement we have planned for you.

Here's the big picture...
Free Goodie Bags!

The first 250 adults (one per family) who make a purchase of at least $15 on Nov. 5 get a goodie bag filled with at least $20 in products, including a My Mind’s Eye collection pack of 9 double-sided papers and a coordinating 12x12 die-cut sheet, a Cosmo Cricket mini-album, Pink Paislee cardstock letter stickers, and more. (We’ll use the same “take-a-number” system we’ve used in the past -- that way no one has to stand in line for hours!)

Shopping Rewards!

Earn a reward! Spend $25 and receive a $5 gift card; spend $50 and get a $10 gift card; spend $75 and get a $15 gift card; spend $100 or more and get a $20 gift card. (All reward gift cards are to be used on a future purchase.)

Special ‘Super-Saver’ Surprises!

There will be five “Super-Saver” sessions (9, 10:30, noon, 1:30, and 3). We'll be using birthday-themed papers by My Mind's Eye, and in a couple of days, I'll post the photos here of the three layouts we'll make in the sessions -- at the amazing price of only $9. We only have room for 150 people in the "Super-Saver." sessions, so please call as soon as possible to register! Everyone who participates in these classes gets two punches on their Studio G Reward Card, and they also get to draw a prize from a grab bag filled with flower sets, chipboard letters, stickers, button sets, and other embellishments. (At each one of the six sessions, one lucky person will draw out a $25 SG gift card!)

Other Features...

• free mini-classes from 10 am until 4 pm;
• entry in a grand prize drawing from Scrapbook Generation;
• day-long birthday bash buffet featuring gourmet mini-cupcakes.

Visitor from California...

I wanted to share this post from the Two Peas in a Bucket message board, which is a very friendly place and complimentary of all things SG, to say the least! 

This quote is from Lucy. She lives in California, and during a recent family visit in Arkansas, made it a point to come visit us. Sounds like Karin and Stacey were pretty impressive! We're so thankful for Lucy and for all the others who think that it's worth extra effort to travel to visit us. It's so wonderful to be able to put a face with the wonderful comments we're so blessed to receive!


Lucy wrote on the Two Peas message board...
This is an update on the long road trip I took from Fayetteville, AR to Springfield, MO to visit the SG store. I met wonderful Karin and awesome Stacey and had a chance to visit with them and take a tour of their beautiful store. Of course, I did some major shopping (love those previous months' kits ) and took several photos that I'll be scrapping of my AR, MO and OK vacation.

The SG family is the REAL deal and equally charming and helpful in person as they are on this board and their blogs!! I'm so glad I made the 2-1/2 hour drive to finally meet them!!

New club information...

Finally! We've added a page here on the blog that explains all details about our monthly kit clubs. By clicking on the "Monthly kit clubs" link on the right sidebar, you can read club descriptions, see prices, and also see photos of each kit for the past three months.

With the increase in popularity of the Super Sketch Club, we've also seen an increase in our five original clubs. Hope you can take the time to check them out. There might be one that is perfect for you!

To make things easier, there is also a link with each club if you decide you want to enroll. It will take you directly to our online store. If you don't like to order online, we're always happy to take orders over the phone -- 417-886-0440.

Branson retreat information...

I just sent out an email newsletter full of information for those of you attending one of our two retreats in Branson at the end of this month. If you don't receive that newsletter today, please send me your email address so I can add you to the list or forward you a copy of the email. We've had a few that were sent but have bounced back to us for one reason or another.
