And we're back.....

For just a little bit, anyway!

In just less than a month, the Scrapbook Sussies website is going to go down. I will still have the blog and the photo gallery, but the main website will disappear. So make sure to bookmark this blog!!!

In the meantime, get a good look at the kits that are still left. I have somewhere around 10 each of the remaining kits. In an effort to sell these last kits, I have a special project I am working on.

I spoke with the nice ladies over at Scrapbook Generation. If you haven't purchased their sketch books or if you are still looking for a new kit club, theirs is outstanding!!! Go check them out. They have given me permission to use their sketches along with the Sussies kits!

Let's begin this month with the March 2011 kit.

If you are interested in purchasing one of these kits, you can still do so at the low price of $22.00 plus actual shipping. (up from the price listed on the website because you will get DOUBLE the cardstock to be able to make the two page layouts, full color pics of the below layouts, and a list of cutting and layout tips to create these pages.) Remember - these kits have over $42.00 in product!

For those of you wonderful customers who already have this kit, if you haven't already used it (And I know from personal experience that kits sometimes stack up), email me and I will send you the word document with the layouts and tips for you to use with your own kit.

I used some of their older super saver sketches to create the following six layouts (and a bonus card)

I don't have a shopping cart system anymore, so if you want one of the March 2011 kits, you'll have to email me at lmcclendon@comcast.net and I can send you a Paypal invoice!

If the response is good, I'll do more layouts with the rest of the remaining kits!

Hope you all have been doing well!

Things are going fast!!

The sale is moving along quickly! I've got lots of stuff still left to go, though!!

$40.00 kits for $18.00.

$19.00 add-ons for just $8.00!!

And only 10 mystery boxes are left - $150 of stuff for just $30.00! HURRY!!! I'd love to get this stuff all sent to good homes TODAY!!!

A Perfect Match!

Don't you just love it when your photos match a particular paper line perfectly! Like they were made exactly for one another! Well that's what happened for me with the Simple Stories line from the September kit. They matched photos we took at the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas from our summer vacation.

CLEARANCE SALE BEGINS NOW!!!

WOW!!!

That's all I can say when I saw how much stuff is available at such fabulous prices!!

In addition to grabbing those kits and add-ons at incredible below cost prices, be sure to check out the add-ons page! Scroll down to the bottom to see all the goodies - mega kits, mystery boxes, $1.00 items!!

For those of you loyal customers in the Year of the Sussie 2011, I held the drawing this morning. I wish I could say that I did something clever like have my goldfish pick the names or something, but it was simply a random # generator. Everyone who had purchased a June kit was entered. If you also purchased a July kit, your name was entered again. If you also purchased an August kit, your name was entered a third time. And, finally, if you also purchased a September kit, your name was entered yet again! Congratulations to all of our winners!!!

Now, everyone, hurry over to the website to fill up your carts with tons of Scrapbook Sussies goodies!!!

HUGE SALE STARTS TOMORROW!!!

The big sale is about ready! Everything is on CLEARANCE!!

There are some great new bundles and mini-kits.

All orders over $75.00 will get a free $15.00 goodie bag.

All orders placed in the month of September will get a free Thickers!

Dear current customers, old customers, and potential customers,

It is with very mixed emotions that I bring you the news announcing the closing of Scrapbook Sussies as a monthly kit club. I struggled with this decision for months, but when I finally made the choice, I felt a large weight lifted.

I still believe that Scrapbook Sussies is the best value in kit clubs on the market. I don't think I've ever seen another club that, in addition to giving you $40.00 worth of goodies for just $29.95, also follows that up with TONS of free goodies for customer loyalty.

But with a kit club of that nature, it is imperative that the number of kits going out the door remains high, and, sadly, I have seen a decrease in the number of monthly customers. In addition, I've been working part time and, as a lot of you know, there are more time constraints as the kids get older. So after nearly 6 years as a kit club, Scrapbook Sussies will cease sending out monthly kits.

For those of you participating in the Year of the Sussie 2011, I am going to try to honor as much of the promotion as I can and give you the free special edition kit that you were supposed to get with your October kit. You have probably already received it with your September kit. ENJOY!!! You have received almost $100 of free product. I will still hold the drawing and, if you happen to win the 6 months of free Sussies, you will win $250 of free product, including the mega-kit of new product mentioned below!!

Winners to be announced on Monday.

For everyone, the great news is that, beginning MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12TH around NOON MOUNTAIN TIME, everything is going on CLEARANCE!!!

First thing you need to know. The prices you see are the FINAL PRICES!!! I will not be decreasing the amounts any further at any point. I'm stating the final prices right away at over 50% off the retail (less than my cost!) and what doesn't sell will be donated. So, if you're interested in any of the items, buy them now before they are sold out.

For every $75.00 you spend, I will throw in a goodie bag containing at least $15.00 worth of product! Additionally, every clearance order placed in September will get a free Thickers with their purchase.

Shipping will be a standard $10.50 (flat rate box). So make sure to fill that box up!!!

I want to thank everyone who has been a customer. I am sad to see my little kit club come to an end, but I hope that my kits have brought a lot of scrapbooking joy to you. I'll be around for a while - perhaps there will be special offers or promotions - mystery boxes, special purchases, etc... In fact, I am currently looking for a handful of individuals who are interested in a super-large Back-To-School/Halloween/Fall/Christmas mega kit of the latest lines. If you are interested in hearing more details, email me and I'll get you the info! There's only about five or six spots available for this.

As always, Happy Scrapping and Get To Using Those Sussies Kits Up!!!

Thanks for all the fun - Lara McClendon, Owner, Scrapbook Sussies

it is a simple story....

it is the name of this paper company in this side of the September kit (which I ADORE!!!), but it really is so much more. scrapbooking really is the simple stories we tell. the ones that mean the very most to us!



and here are some simple pages that tell a simple story! I am so thankful I found these photos from a over a year ago and finally have the story on paper....





it can be many words or few, but take the time to tell your story! and if you do make sure you share your pages in the Sussies Gallery so we can see them , too!!
