Sketch Lovers blog hop winners...

We have winners to announce! Ruth (who sent this info to me a couple of days ago and I promptly forgot to announce it on the correct day!) used a random number generator to choose the winners of SG's recent blog hop.
• Blog winner is Mandi from http://mjskraze.blogspot.com/

• Comment winner is Jenny on June 6 at 7:11 on this blog: http://craftyholidaygirl.blogspot.com "Fabulous page! I've got my eye on that Volume!!"

(Ruth suggests that blogger Stephanie can help us to contact blog reader Jenny from the comments because she will have her contact information available through the blog. Just email her and ask her to see the SG blog for information about how to claim her prize.)
Both winners should send an email to stacey@scrapbookgeneration.com and she will send your prizes to you!

Thanks for SG to Ruth and to all those who participated. We'll do this again in three months!

Thanks, American Crafts!

This month, American Crafts is featuring independent scrapbook stores on its Facebook page, and SG was fortunate to be the first store showcased. Thanks, American Crafts, for giving us some great publicity! If you didn't see the post, here's the photo that was used, and you can also click here to go to the AC Facebook page.


(And for all of you who have been patiently waiting for the release of Becky Higgins' Project Life by AC, that entire huge collection -- every single item offered -- should be arriving at SG very soon.)

Let the hopping begin!



We're so glad you're joining us for Scrapbook Generation's first ever blog hop, organized by Ruth Bonser, one of our scrapbooking friends from Australia. We have almost 30 bloggers participating, and they'll each be sharing a layout made from one of SG's sketches.

The bloggers will be letting you know where the sketch they used is available: one of SG's books, one of the downloads, or from sister site Sketch Support. All of the SG sketch products can be purchased in our online store -- click here to shop. And don't forget that we also provide a free sketch to download each month!

We'll start things off here at SG with a layout from me, Debbie Sanders.

This is what I love about our sketches...freedom. Freedom to make them what you want them to be. Freedom to concentrate on your story instead of measurements and positions. Freedom to pick out the papers you love and the photos you love and know -- without a doubt -- that when you've cut and adhered and trimmed and inked, the final product will be something you'll be proud of. Always.


Some of you may recognize this sketch. It's an Allison Davis creation available in a Halloween bundle of sketches, quotes, titles, and embellishment patterns in our online store by clicking here. (I highly recommend any of her seasonal bundles -- they are packed full of goodies and offered for an amazing price.)


I loved what Allison did with the witches hats. But here's where the fun comes in! Why can't those three large cone-shaped pieces be birthday hats, like my layout? Or Christmas trees, or megaphones, or whatever you want them to be?!


To try to make my birthday hats stand out from the background even more, I used a heart border punch to create a zigzag border for each hat. If you look closely, you can see the hearts are turned upside down. And because I wanted to focus on three photos only, I left off three smaller photos that the sketch showed.

It's been so much fun sharing my layout with you. I know I need to do that more often! We're so grateful to Ruth for this great idea of blogging and hopping once every quarter! If you want to join the list of bloggers for next time, let Ruth know. She can be contacted at this address: ruth.bonser@gmail.com.

As for the June blog hop, leave a comment on this blog and on each involved, and one lucky winner will get to choose a sketch bundle from SG's online store. The winner will be drawn on June 10, so you have a week to leave a comment.

Ruth Bonser is next up in the blog hop. You'll find her here: http://scrapmachine.com/
