Good morning and thank you for joining us on the final day of our 31 day Partner Celebration! We hope you've enjoyed getting to know the partners we work with over these last 31 days. Perhaps you were introduced to a new company or possibly it reconnected you with a company you've not seen in a while. For us, we enjoyed a very public way to say "THANK YOU" to all the companies that support us in all that we do here at SCT headquarters. For our partners, they have enjoyed meeting you. For all those that took the time to thank our partners on their social sites, you rock! When we plan an event like this, our partners always come back to us and say how engaged our readers are…and I sweetly say "I know, they're the best!" So thank you for joining our annual appreciation event! If you're just joining us for the first time, welcome and be sure to start at day 1 to see all the amazing companies and prizes along the way HERE!
But the fun is not over yet as today we have not one, not two but THREE prizes to wrap it all up! One of the prizes comes from another new partner too! Curious who it is? Keep reading!
Prize 1 from Janome:
Long-time partner in crafting and creating, Janome Canada has been a champion of adding sewing to your layouts. From simple straight stitches or a zig zag to more complex decorative stitches and lettering, a sewing machine is the kind of tool that anyone can use in their craft pantry (and it comes in handy to mend things now and then too!) Today, from our friends at Janome we have a Project Tote and Mini Carrier from the Tamara Kate luggage line! The Thread carrier is a cute little Pill Box tote (you can remove the thread trays and fill with all sorts of fun embellishments!) and the matching Project Tote is a zip shoulder bag which can easily fit 12×12 paper in it! Just look at the cute bicycle on them. If you're anything like me, bags for organizing anything are the best! Thank you Janome for producing innovative products that continue to push the limits on creating. You're going to love the new machine Janome is introducing in their ad in our fall issue! Here's a sneak:

Prize 2 from Citrus Twist Kits:
Remember I mentioned a new partner? Please give a warm welcome to Citrus Twist Kits! I had the opportunity to meet Trina quite by accident in Salt Lake City this summer at our industry trade show. We had both gone in the wrong doors to the wrong hall which was empty. No people, no signage, no craft companies just vast empty space! We wandered for a bit together until we found sweetly directed us to the correct hall. About a mile away! While in the elevator we introduced ourselves and one conversation led to an email exchange days later and here we are. Welcome Trina and Citrus Twist Kits to the SCT family! For those that have not heard of this fun company, here's a little more about them:
"Citrus Twist Kits started in 2012 with a scrapbooking kit subscription to deliver happiness in a box to your doorstep. Flash forward 4 plus years and they curate kits with brand new product combined with their own exclusive brand to bring you on-trend subscriptions that ship worldwide to help you document all of life’s little moments. Citrus Twist offers subscriptions for traditional scrapbooking, pocket life, faith art and stamps.
The spark for Citrus Twist Kits began when owner Trina Craig lost her mom, who was an avid dollmaker and scrapbooker. Trina grew up crafting with her mom and watching her create beautiful things. (This artistic streak comes from a long line of female artists.) As Trina sifted through a lifetime of her mom’s projects and supplies, the idea for Citrus Twist Kits was born and she built her kit club to honor both her mom and her artistic heritage and to share her joy of papercrafting with you.
Citrus Twist Kits is passionate about designing beautiful kits that you can afford and that offer great value. Trina brings to the table her eye for graphic design after years spent designing and art directing children’s books. Their business was built on great customer service with a kind heart.
In addition to kits and stamps they also offer classes and have a store with many of your favorites . . . and some of their exclusives. Their Design Team is there to inspire you along the way too!"
Thank you for joining us Citrus Twist and SCT friends, you're going to love this…
That's right, you get to shop for anything your heart desires in the Citrus Twist shop. Be prepared to be there awhile! You can learn more about Citrus Twist Kits by visiting them here:

THIS “THANK YOU SPONSORS PARTY” HAS BEEN A GREAT MONTH OF FUN!
THANKS GUYS!
Thank you for the last 31 days! I have enjoyed the daily emails introducing me to new companies and finding old favourites! It gives me hope that the industry is still alive with creativity and opportunity for everyone to find EXACTLY what we are looking for to express ourselves through our scrapbooks!
My favourite part of Scrapbook & Cards is the feeling that you are speaking directly to me… and then finding inspiration through all that you offer on your website be it sketches, talks or links to new sites. Thank you!
I Enjoy your Blog!
It’s a Daily Read!!!!!!!
Wow! What a great month. I have enjoyed looking at the inspiration and getting to know the prize partners. I love the daily inspiration from SCT on the blog. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas and inspiration!
This has been great! Thanks for all the chances to win.
It’s been a fantastic month.
I’ve found some new companies (one of them today),
met up with some companies that I’d forgotten about,
and continued following my old standbys.
thanks for the month-long celebration.
More fabulous prizes and great companies! I look forward to the SCT emails for inspiration, creativity, and lots of info about new products and companies. Even during times I am unable to be creative myself, I feel connected to my hobby and energized to get back to papercrafting. Thank you!
The Project Tote and Mini Thread Carrier are to die for. I tried to find them on the internet; but, no luck. Would LOVE to purchase these totes!!! Can you please tell me where to find them???
I have not heard of Citrus Twist. Nice layout and nice gift certificate.
AND, how fun to win your subscription and your on-line class!!!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!!!
Amazing prizes, thanks for the chance!
Wow–what a way to wrap up Partner Appreciation month! Fabulous prizes. Thank you sponsors.
What a way to end the celebrations–thank you SCT! My favorite thing is that you offer actual magazines for purchase, plus on-line is free! I haven’t let myself open my last purchase which is Creative Cards Vol 1 as I’m taking it with me when I fly to visit family in a few days. Happy, happy birthday!
What a fabulous month of giveaways and meeting new vendors. Citrus kits looks very interesting, all the prizes have been amazing. I love the new products section of the magazine and the “how-to’s”of products that are a little different. I love the magazine from cover to cover! Thank you SCT for the wonderful month!
I love your magazine so much! These emails are among my favorite! Thanks for all the hard work you do for us!
Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes!
Amazing prizes!Love all of these companies.
A great wrap-up to a very interesting month! Thanks, SCT!
What an incredible month of giveaways. It’s like Christmas in August.
My favorite part of SCT? That is hard to answer. It could be all of the wonderful inspiration, new ideas, sketches, etc. that I discover on the blog; or it could be the totally fun quarterly magazines that I love getting and reading through; it could be the awesome organizer that my husband gets me every year for Christmas, helps me keep track of my scrapbooking and card making progress for the year; it could the the totally adorable kits that come out quarterly, loving the designs, the stamps, the papers, just everything about them; or it could be the new online classes, The last one stretched me and helped me to think outside of the box. Don’t make me pick a favorite (that would be like picking a favorite child)
Great prizes today. I have enjoyed the whole month.
Awesome!!! Thank you SCT and all the month’s partners for the giveaway! What a way to end the summer :)
It’s such fun seeing what’s on the market. Thanks for holding this party! I love Jennifer McGuire’s section of the mags. She’s a cardmaking rock star for sure. I always learn something from her.
Thank you for another chance to win terrific prizes (I’m hoping for the Citrus Twist gc). My favorite part of SCT is the magazine, and my favorite part of the magazine is your feature on the best new things to buy. Thank you for all of the inspiration and for staying on as a magazine devoted to our treasured hobby!
What an amazing wrap up on th celebrations! Thank you and to your sponsors for the wonderful giveaways!
What great prizes to end the month! Thank you to you and all your partners. I love the take 2 and 3 (seeing the same photo scrapped in different ways) and your blog especially the find your mojo with Mercy Tiara videos.
It’s been a very fun 31 days. My favorite thing about SCT online is the Scrapbook layouts and discovering all of the new artists and their styles and secrets to success. In addition to discovering new product partners to make scrapbooking all that more enjoyable! Have had a great time, thanks!
End of August already? Yikes, time goes too fast. Thanks SCT and your amazing partners for a great month of prizes. I hope one of those prizes makes its way to my house!! Thanks again
Oh MY GOODNESS!!!! Thank you!! Thank you to all your sponsors! I’ve excitedly opened my email each day…and every day, I couldn’t imagine a better sponsor, than the day before. You truly work with some of the best and creative minds in the business!
Lots of great ideas! Thank you. The totes are lovely. Can they be purchased?
