And a special thanks to the owner, Debbie (rush2scrap)! First, let me say that I have no affiliation to this company, I simply appreciate the products and efforts of said company. That said, I had no idea that Scrapbook Generation was just a monthly kit club with an awesome magazine, Create (definitely recommend checking it out if you haven't already, it's free).
But, when I was looking for some TH Distress crackle paint, Debbie suggested I give her store a try. I did have trouble ordering, which I later realized was operator error, but Debbie was always very prompt in helping me work it out; amazing customer service. Their prices are comparable to the other online shops and, because they also have a brick and mortar shop, they might have just what you're looking for. I believe, although I don't know for sure, that the stock between the two is different. So if you don't see what you're looking for, you can email them to see if they can pull it from their brick and mortar shop, or they will at least give you an ETA of when they will have it in stock; Debbie did this for me with one of the products I was looking for. They also have an awesome program to save you money on shipping (huge plus for me because I hate paying for shipping), special sales on Mondays, and other promos. Granted they are a smaller shop, so they may not carry everything you've ever wanted (lol), but they are definitely worth checking out.
Thanks again, Debbie! I received my crackle pain yesterday. And I can't wait to try it out,

A lot of people like to shop at Scrapbook Generation They have a great program where you can combine separate orders and then they will send them all at one time so you can get free shipping.
I have quite a few of their sketch books and use their sketches all the time.
I would love to take a road trip one day and see their store in person -- just a scrappy dream I have! |

Oh my, I just can't say enough about them!! They are awesome and their CS is great! I just love their BANKIT order system. It is so neat to think of 1 item you need and order it. Type in BANKIT and they will hold it until you get to $75. No need to pay a huge shipping amount on a small item.

Good to know about the bankit.
Is this the same store a bunch of peas took planes, trains, and automobiles to, a few years ago for a crop? If so, I always wanted to go there. It seems like such an awesome store.

Thanks, everyone! Early on with our online store, we tried to figure out a way to set ourselves apart. We set our free shipping threshold at $75, but we knew that people (ourselves included!) hate to pay shipping -- at all! So my daughter Stacey, the online store manager, came up with BANK IT -- a program in which you earn free shipping (or discounted for internationals) on all your orders. I wish I had thought of it! Our online customers call it "genius!" I wish you could see all the rows and rows of Bank It orders in our warehouse...each person who uses the program has a stack that we keep adding to until it is time to ship. All you have to do is enter the coupon code BANKIT when checking out, and your order is processed with no shipping charge. We fill and hold the order until you have placed enough orders to reach the $75 free shipping threshold. So basically, if you shop with us and use the Bank It program, you never have to pay shipping. People love being able to order a couple of sheets of paper, or a set of brads, and not have to pay more in shipping than they paid for the product! Waiting a while to get those items doesn't seem to be a problem. (And if it is something you want NOW, you can always pay regular shipping instead of BANK IT.) Other features of our online store that people love: -- A customer loyalty program that gives you a 10% kickback in the form of a $5 coupon code after spending $50. You don't have to do a thing! We do all the calculations, and the $50 can be spread out over several orders. -- Markdown Mondays. We have special deals each Monday, reductions on categories (like brads or stencils or 6x6 pads, etc.) and brands and collections. (And with Bank It, you can pick up a few items and not worry about shipping costs eating up what you saved on the lowered prices.) -- The first Saturday of each month, if you spend $25, you get an exclusive Scrapbook Generation double-page layout kit FREE in your order (one shippable item required). We are growing each week in both customers and products. Much of our growth has come by word of mouth, and from posts on message boards like this one. We can't thank you enough for mentioning us. If you are looking for a place to shop online, I certainly hope that you give us a try! Scrapbook Generation online store |

Debbie -- I'm glad you mentioned the free kit on the first Saturday of each month. I didn't realize that was done on a regular basis. Can we combine that with the BANKIT program?

Great! And this is the first weekend of the month, so if you make a $25 purchase on Saturday or Sunday you get the free page kit. The photo of the kit is on our website.

I've ordered from SG a few times and always and great customer service. I haven't been able to make it to the store yet, but I was lucky to meet the ladies from SG at a weekend crop earlier this year and they are all as nice as you could imagine!!

Another fan of Scrapbook Generation here! Can't recommend the sketch books enough - I use them almost every time I scrap as I am a two page layout scrapper with tons of photos.

I've been to their store in Springfield, MO. It is a scrapbookers paradise! It's huge and loaded with so many choices! I'm soooo jealous! I've never been to MO, but am seriously thinking about making a trip there just to see the store. I just reached my $75 limit, so I'll be receiving my first order very soon. I'll let everyone know how it is, once it gets here. But I do have to say, I love the Bank-It system. It was so long ago that I placed the first order that it will be like Christmas when it does get here. Lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have my eye on a couple of new dies they got in from Taylored Expressions Dies. The paw print border and months of the year. It is called BARS of the year so hard to find by typing month in the search! The months cut on a bar border.
