This month's All Stars are on sale for 30% off until the 5th of each month! So head to the All-Stars section of the Boutique today and pick up a steal-of-a-deal on a digital scrapbooking classic while you can!

And don't forget to check out the Retirement Sale section of the Boutique. Items in this section are always on sale for 30% off.

CUSTOMER MUSE

Snow: Why?

1. Why do kids always forget their snowpants at school when it's Friday - and it snows all weekend long?

2. Why is my husband only away on business when it snows?

3. Why do I always have an errand list the size of my arm when the roads are icy and it's snowing?

4. Why do the kids always decide they want to go outside and play (and thus need my help with getting on all their gear) when I have just sat down for the first time all day with a cup of coffee?

5. Why do all the musings I can think of involve snow?

6. I think I need a vacation!

- Jen

div

Muse: To be absorbed in one's thoughts; engage in meditation. Not intended to solve the world's problems, another person's problems, or to cover topics completely. One does not have to agree with musings to enjoy them, just as one does not have to be the same as someone else to appreciate who they are.

Would you like to earn a $20 Gift Certificate? Send your own muse to [email protected]. If it is selected for publication in the Scrap Girls newsletter, you'll get to have fun shopping!

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING...

Our customers mean the world to us! That's why we like to hear that what we do makes you happy - whether it's our daily freebie, how-to instructions, or quality products. Here are some of the nice things our customers have told us lately:

I would like to thank you so much for your newsletter lessons and for the freebies. My husband lost his job, and I am no longer able to purchase your wonderful products, but because of your generosity I will still be able to make lovely Christmas layouts of my family. Also, your focus on our Lord is an inspiration to me. Thank you so much.

div

Just want to thank you for the flannel board tutorial – love it! I was wondering what to give my niece for her birthday, and I think I will purchase "princess" designs and make a fun flannel board all about fairy tales. Never thought to do this before. Awesome! Thanks again.

div

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy all the "Directions for one technique I did in this layout" in each newsletter. Thanks, too, for all the freebies. It feels like Christmas every day!

div

I love Scrap Girls and think your site is the absolute best. Every morning I look forward to your newsletter. Other digi-scrapbooking sites don't even come close to what Scrap Girls has to offer. Keep up the good work!

div

I have no questions, but once again, I am overwhelmed by the goodness and kindness that is the essence of Scrap Girls. I am thankful for finding you all!

div

I recently began to get the monthly ScrapSimple Club because I wanted to challenge myself to use these different products that are offered through this Club. Well, I was having trouble using them, recoloring the embellishments, filling in color on the Itty Bitty Papers, etc., so I went to the Scrap Girls University to see if I could find help. Somehow I ended up in the Boutique - and there was the ScrapSimple Handbook - free! – just sitting there, waiting to answer all my questions. I was so amazed that this appeared right when I needed it! So now I am recoloring, filling in color, even using the brushes more effectively. I have to say, you girls seem to know when a product is needed to help with the products you sell. Your customer service has always been spectacular, and I have been using your products, reading the newsletter, and learning from the tutorials for over two years now.

div

Thanks for always thinking of your customers first and providing such awesome products and support! If every business was run with your philosophy, I'd be one happy shopper all the time. I look forward to your daily newsletters and am crushed when I can't download freebies (if I'm away from home and have to wait to get back to my own computer). It's truly amazing the number of freebies I've collected over the past two years. I don't know of any other business that happily gives away their stuff!

div

Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I love the ScrapSimple things, and I belong to the ScrapSimple Club, so this latest tutorial is just the perfect companion for using them.

div

Can I just tell you how much I appreciate your store (Boutique)? You are all so friendly, helpful, on the ball, great with scrappin' advice, and seem to be genuinely great people. I love the muses, stories, scrap samples, etc. Every time I get an email from you, I have to smile. Thank you for brightening our days. I would love it if you could pass this on to Rozanne. Too many times, people take the time to complain when something goes wrong but don't take a minute to say great job! Thank you for all you do and for your encouraging words to us all. You never know how much you touch someone with those words. When you have a bad day, sometimes all you need are few nice words to keep you going. You all are awesome!

div

Please keep up the excellent work you do because I'm sure there are many others just like me who appreciate all the effort you put forth.

div

Thank you for such a fantastic site. Your newsletters are fabulous. I can't wait to read them; they are such an inspiration to someone as new to digital scrapbooking as I am.

There's a thread every Thursday and now there's a chat too!

FEBRUARY EVENTS

February Message Board Game: Posting Contest!

It's that time again - Posting Contest time! This is where you are rewarded for your flying fingers and chattiness. The contest will run from February 1st when we post the thread to February 28th at 12:00 Midnight (MST). We are doing things a little differently this time and there are two ways to participate - the Message Board and the Gallery, so here are the rules:

1) To enter the Message Board Posting Challenge, reply in the game thread with your CURRENT post count. This is the number under your Avatar that shows when you post. Do not post the number found on your profile; it is a different number that is calculated differently. During the month, chat your fingers off! On February 28th, BEFORE Midnight (MST), go back to your original post in the game thread (the one with your starting post count) and take a screenshot of it. Send the screenshot to [email protected]. The screenshot is your contest entry! We will calculate your post count based on the numbers on the screenshot. (Directions for taking screenshots will be posted in the game thread.)

2) To enter the Gallery Posting Challenge, take a screenshot of your Gallery comment number and send it to [email protected] BEFORE February 1st, Midnight (MST). To get to your Gallery Stats, click the arrow beside your Profile photo and go down to Gallery. Your total comments number is under Stats on the left-hand side - this is what we need a screenshot of to know where you are starting. Then BEFORE Midnight (MST) on February 28th, take another screenshot of your Gallery Stats and send it to [email protected], this will give us your ending number and enter you in the contest!

PRIZES: You may enter both contests. Members with Message Board posts over 50 will be put in a drawing for a $5 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate. Members with Message Board posts over 200 will be put in a drawing for both the $5 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate and a $10 Scrap Girls Gift Certificate.

Layout Contests:

February Monthly Layout Contest: In the spirit of Mardi Gras, let's scrap about parties!! For the February Layout Contest, we'd love to see your layouts featuring people or things that make a party special to you! It can be a party you hosted or one you attended. So put your party hats on and post your layouts in the February Monthly Layout Gallery before Midnight MT on February 28th. Be sure to list your credits in the description or under the EXIF Properties. If your layout is one of the two chosen, you will win a $10 gift certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!

Club Concepts Layout Contest: Post your new layout using the current club selection (either the Scrap Girls Club or the ScrapSimple Club) in our Scrap Girls Club Members Gallery or the ScrapSimple Club Members' Gallery. Be sure to list all of the Scrap Girls products you used. If your layout is chosen, it will be showcased as a Club Concepts layout winner, and you will win a $5 Gift Certificate to the Scrap Girls Boutique!
