Ruth Bonser, who organizes the SG Sketch Lovers quarterly blog hop all the way from Australia, has come up with a way to share information in a more efficient way. She has created a Facebook group for people who have participated in the past, and for those of you who might be interested in joining in.
Here's a link to the Facebook group. Everyone is invited!

Super-Saver layouts for Saturday!
Super-Saver Scrapbooking sessions...
We'll be making these three layouts Saturday, November 2 in the Debbie Sanders 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 at 417-886-0440 to register and pre-pay. Sessions will be held at 10am and 2pm.
"SG Loyalty" program...
And don't forget the "SG Loyalty" program, the customer loyalty program that rewards people who shop in our Springfield store through a computerized point system. When you reach $50 in purchases (excluding kit clubs, classes which require pre-payment, and gift cards), a coupon for $5 off your purchase on a future day is generated as part of your receipt. The coupon can be used to purchase anything at SG except kit clubs and gift cards.
You'll earn double points for your entire purchase by attending and participating in the Super Saver Scrapbooking class shown above!
Super Sketch Club members:
Yes, materials for these three layouts will be included in your November kit!
KITS:
• All kits must be requested before the class activities take place on Saturday.
• The fee for a kit is $10, and is due at the time the request is made.
• To order a kit, please call 417-886-0440. If for some reason you can't call, email stacey@scrapbookgeneration.com.
• If you need the kit shipped to you, the shipping charge is an additional $5.99.
• The best deal for our long-distance customers? Join the monthly Super Sketch Club and get this kit, the Sketch Day One layout kit, and the Sketch Day Two layout kit (includes materials and sketches for five double-page layouts, plus two bonus double-page sketches) for $20 plus $6.99 shipping.
Super-Savers for Saturday, Nov. 2
We will be having our usual first-Saturday-of-the-month Super-Saver Scrapbooking sessions Saturday, Nov. 2. We normally post the layouts on Monday or Tuesday, but it's been a hectic week, both store and family! The three layouts should be posted here by noon.

Can you believe this list?
We've been anxiously waiting to share this list with you -- the ten companies that will be the first to participate in Scrapbook Generation's CREATE, our digital magazine launching in January.
These companies will be "loaning" us their design teams for a special feature each month. We'll send the team four sketches -- a single-page layout sketch, a double-page layout sketch, a greeting card sketch, and a tag sketch. (Allison Davis and Debbie Sanders will each create half of the sketches each month, so you'll see both designers' style.)
The manufacturer's design team members will each make a layout and one of the smaller projects. They'll also be providing insight into what they like about working with SG sketches. Then it will be your turn! The four sketches will be available for you to download directly from the magazine.
Here is how 2014 shapes up for CREATE!

Submission call for January issue of CREATE
Scrapbook Generation’s CREATE is thrilled to announce its first-ever call for readers gallery submissions. CREATE is a free digital download magazine that will launch in January in conjunction with SG’s expanded online store.
CREATE will center around sketches and how to use them to best advantage, but will also feature other paper-crafting topics and articles. Best of all, we'll be bringing you inspiration from the top manufacturer's design teams every month as the team members show what they can do with the very latest paper collections and SG sketches. The first issue is projected to contain 120-150 pages!
Starting with the March 2014 issue, readers gallery submissions will be based on the four sketches featured in the magazine. January’s sketches will be used for the March gallery, February’s for the April gallery, and so on.
For the first two magazines, we’ve chosen other SG sketches to be used, and today, we’re sharing the sketches for the January 2014 readers gallery. Choices are single-page layout, double-page layout, or greeting card. All three sketches were designed by Allison Davis, well-known for her inspiring style, and her ability to shine the spotlight on photos and journaling.
