Sorry, I was out of town and knew when I checked the blog today and saw that many comments something must be going down. I must admit I haven't read it all, but I skipped to the last page to read the ending. I kind of feel sorry for her, as she seems to play the victim card and blame others for the situations she creates or fabricates. I still have many questions...like who is the hat girl in the hotel? How is MB involved in this? Who leaked the first screen shot of the DST post?
Carry on...

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1339 Newer› Newest»Hey, Lyndsay! I just looked at your freebie at DSA and you currently have 95 people who cared enough to leave you a comment on your cute freebie. Don't worry about someone saying your quality varies. Just look ahead and make some more stuff like this freebie. Focus on the love and take the CC and be an even better designer for doing it!
And I agree--she sounded to me like she needed to simmer down too.
Wow! A CT member told me I got mentioned on the smack blog. Do I get a prize now?
Just thought I'd address this post, since it DOES mention me.
The designs you've mentioned were made in, what, 2005? Maybe early 2006? I can gladly give you credit here...some of my stuff sucked then. I'm sure most designers would admit that about some of their older stuff.
I hope you've given me at least the courtesy of downloading one of my new kits before you make statements like this. I would hope, considering I only started designing again now 6 months ago, that I've improved at least somewhat in that time - at least, I think so. :)
Back to your regularly scheduled smackfest, ladies!

I never said it was bad, just erratic. It was either absolutely fantastic or just meh. I thought some of your early stuff totally rocked and it was really different to the stuff that was out there at the time. I've downloaded your kit at DSA, but I haven't opened it yet.
Good for you for coming back. I love to see the 'old' faces coming back.

Er, that is taking the CC, CC meaning constructive criticism. I wasn't nasty. I just stated that it was erratic. Sheesh, as much as I like hearing my stuff is great, I also like hearing it's not great and why. It helps to make me a better designer.
"Of course I'll get smacked for this, but I really like Flerg's kit"
and
"Even Flergs herself looks like she raised the bar. Her elements or at least those stars are very nice."
oh PUH-LEEEZE, she phoned it in! *yawn* Since we already know she's going to win the popularity, I mean, design contest, can you at least PRETEND to compete instead of recycling a kit thats already in your store?
The fact that Flergs already had a kit in her shop with the exact same color scheme as one of the ones picked for SYTYCS makes me wonder if it isn't rigged right down to the color palette.
I mean-what are the chances...I can see a few colors matching-but exactly?
I can't believe anyone cares so much about these silly little contests. Same with stuff like Scrapper's Choice.
I'm still hoping for a site with a comment free gallery and no competitions.
If the "real" LilyAnne Taylor has been online taking classes and chatting people up for 7 years, why is there NO TRACE of her until March of this year when Amanda "STOLE" her identity?
All you all are doing is creating the basis for another round of "Oh poor victimized Flergs".

I would LOVE that. I hate the praise game and the gallery stand out crap too.

AMEN!!! But will there ever be one is the question?!?!?
You could start your own site. ;)
Bottom line is, the contest is working. You're all visiting and talking about the site. Which is making designers advertise there, and making money for DSA.
Working exactly how it's supposed to.

Thank you. Just so you know, I don't disagree with you in the least. I was just hoping that you had given me the benefit of the doubt by taking a look at some of my NEW stuff as opposed to just assuming my designing was still as "erratic" as it was 3 years ago.

Fucking digital expert. It's time to get her booted from the paper industry as well.
vord veri: lameid. Lame identity LOL
"Believe me my shit blows half the shit they have in their stores out of the water so get your noses out of the air bitches because you are nothing to be so high and mighty about."
well if this were true they probably would have responded to you, or invited you to their stores huh? Maybe your SHITTY attitude is what keeps you from these great stores? SSD is the best drama-free , sweetest people place on digiland and i know this cause i have been doing digi for 7 years or more and finally made SSD my home and never looked back. None of this crap every happens there.
It takes 2 seconds to set up a form "thanks but no thanks" letter to send out.
I agree that not responding at all is rude and a bit holier than thou.
Having said that... if you were good enough, you'd have gotten in.
You know, there is a reason Megs is such a popular designer and it's not because she is the most pretty or head cheerleader or something. ;0) Honestly, her designs and quality are really exceptional. That is why she has reached the level she is at. She is also really sweet and down to earth and very helpful. Yes, I am scared to compete against her too... LOL! But, like someone else said, it just means the rest of us need to turn it up a notch!
The other thing is, everyone has feelings, even popular designers. I just don't think it's fair to smack her for attaining a level that many designers are trying to attain.
In the end, win or lose, this contest is good exposure, free advertising, and an opportunity for growth. Just my 2 cents.

You know what that is just the point. Dear old Megs, don't need the advertising. They are nothing but money grubbers. Faith True is right up there too. :(
Any contest involving scrap is a waste of time. I will never enter any more contests.
Have seen some scrappers post beautiful layouts and they lost. They received many comments and still lost. :(
All of these stupid contests are just money suckers. After what I have seen this week, will have to rethink where I spend my money.
Also, Faith True & Flergs, the stuff is getting a little old. With FT it's always those stupid, little whimsical doodles. Come FT use your imagination, give us something besides stupid doodles.

Bottom line, I am not buying any more scrap from any of those designers. This greed just makes me sick. I buy scrap because I like it, not because of whose name is on it.

"They are nothing but money grubbers."
pulled quote from 8:05am
duh! they are a business, should they not try for more? are they supposed to say, I have enough customers...I don't need anymore? give some to the peasants??
that sounded like a preschooler who wants everything fair
this is not just a hobby anymore, people are making money, real money not just enough to pay for their craft.
good job to all the biggies that signed up~but rise to the occasion, I am expecting more than an add-on to your present kit...that sucked!
and had to laugh at the comment, at dsa, we are getting so many posts and clicks...yeah well, drama sells!
look at this place we are all here.
I just don't think it's fair to smack her for attaining a level that many designers are trying to attain.

When you pimp yourself out all over the place, it doesn't matter what your actual designs look like. This was brought up before but it's like flergs and her styles. ANYONE can make those styles but hers sell and are popular because she puts herself out there everywhere and either she or her team pimps the shit out of them.
I've purchased some stuff from pretty popular designers and I ended up dumping it in the end. Sometimes the previews are a whole lot prettier than the items inside. I have a habit of looking at previews and breaking it up in my head to what's actually inside and what it all amounts to when unzipped. It's not always about quality, it's about style and originality and most of these "popular" woman don't have much originality and all their designs seem to bleed together.
Be a smart shopper, not a sheep. These are just women on the other side of a computer that happen to know how to make stuff in Photoshop and how to sell that stuff and that's about all there is to it.
I'm not a designer so this has nothing to do with jealousy as I'm not trying to compete with them at all. They, however, ARE trying to compete for my money. These are just the opinions of someone who's bought a lot of digiscrap products over the past several years. Just becuase it has the name "flergs" on it, doesn't make it extra super special.
I'm telling ya, Amanda is "Kate"!!
Someone just posted recently that Amanda has now "given" the bud club to DC. Yeah, right. No one in their right mind would touch that with a ten foot pole after all the pirated tutorials came to light.
If Amanda could pull the LAT stunt, she could certainly be posing as "Kate" and "Rick" Come on, people! Their stories are just as ridiculous and unbelievable as Amanda's. Because they ARE more of Amanda's BS.
May 6, 2009 6:49 PM
****************************
While I can understand your paranoia, I can assure you that Kate and Amanda are two different people. I've spoken to both of them on the phone. And I can tell when I've talked to two different people. ITA, however, something fishy went on and the whole truth was not told.
WV: talerfl, as in, their tale had me rolling on the floor laughing, it was so obviously untrue.
OK, I am not in the contest, but even I already have two kits that match those color schemes. They probably got them from kuler or something.
I would love to hear the BS behind closed doors at DC that Kate is feeding her team. I can't believe the designers are sticking by her, at the risk of their own reputations. The whole LAT/Amanda thing is just more fuel to the fire...and I have to admit, Kate is looking guilty as hell.
May 6, 2009 7:14 PM
I would think that perhaps Kate's designers are more savvy than you give them credit for, and many of them have her number. However, its hard to leave a store where you have customers and a following just because the owner might be a lying snake. As long as their sales don't suffer and they get paid on time, why would they leave? Not to mention, if the "stain of Kate/Rick/LAT/AD" is on these designers now, simply because they had the misfortune to be selling at DC when all this went down - do you think its going to be that easy for them to find another decent store to sell at??? Betcha lots of store owners would seek to avoid the DC designers because of Kate's lies. I feel for them, they didn't do anything wrong.
"OK, I am not in the contest, but even I already have two kits that match those color schemes. They probably got them from kuler or something."
May 7, 2009 9:41 AM
Yeah, or "something". Like something like maybe their BFFs in the contest suggested the palettes hmmmm?
I have a question about CU in light of the whole TheresK mess. What do you think about photographed and extracted items in general? Can't live without them? They shouldn't be in a kit at all? It's okay to take your own photos, as long as your sources are good? Chime in! I'm really curious because I can only imagine that kits will start looking really boring without any flowers or ribbons or other "fun" things.
Depends on what it is. If you make it yourself, why not? A lot of craft items that you can buy in stores are there for the purpose of making things. If you want to make something and extract it to sell commercially, I don't see the big deal, however I do think you should actually make something with it as opposed to just scanning or photographing the item itself. Taking someone else's item that they actually did make and extracting it, that's just not right. If I made a bunch of knitted little things to sell at a craft fair, I would be pretty miffed to see them as extractions for sale, especially if they're being sold as a designer resource.
I also don't see the point in being a reseller for items, such as clip art. I'd rather purchase from the original designer but that's not a copyright issue, That's just a personal issue.
I have it on good authority that Kate knew who AD/LT was from the start. Amanda and Kate were friends for months. She told Kate what she was doing, and Kate went along with it. Kate and Rick came up with a bogus story to cover their own asses after the shit hit the fan. Just to prove their point, Rick took down Amanda's website without talking to her. Apparently DC was piggy-backing her site. I tried to contact Amanda on Facebook to ask her about this. She is refusing to answer. She's also removed all the scrapbook "friends" from her friendlist.
I was in contact with Amanda before all this happened. She told me about an incident that went down between her and Ashley Smith at Polka Dot Potato years ago. Maybe that was all bullshit too. Maybe Ashley is Amanda. Didn't Faith used to sell there? Maybe that's how they know each other. If Ashley isn't Amanda, it wouldn't surprise me if she was the nutjob who posted the "Amanda will pay" crap. Ashley also lives in Texas.
When you pimp yourself out all over the place, it doesn't matter what your actual designs look like. This was brought up before but it's like flergs and her styles. ANYONE can make those styles but hers sell and are popular because she puts herself out there everywhere and either she or her team pimps the shit out of them.
***********************************
But the pimping done by Megs and her CT is never obnoxious or over the top. Of course she and her Ct are going to "pimp" her. Like any business it's advertising, plain and simple. Her kits are always of the highest quality, always packed full and always something I'll use. I can't say that about all designers I buy from, can you?
I can't say that about all designers I buy from, can you?
______________________
Nope. I can't say that about many of them, really. It all depends on your taste and what you actually want to do with the items. I don't buy from flergs or Faith or those girls 'cause they're simply not my style and wouldn't use any of it. I'm not saying it's not quality or quantity or any of that. I look for originality and things that fit my style and they don't have what I'm looking for. If it's what you're looking for, that's fantastic for you. My point is that just because they have a well-known name doesn't make their stuff any more interesting or usable than anyone else's.
Hahahaha
You said "Faith" and "style" in the same sentence!!
She doesn't have a style! She just flits from trend to trend to trend! She always copies whatevers selling like hotcakes right now.
I can't *stand* that!!
or Faith copies copyrighted characters. this is an awful lot like Hello Kitty

I have it on good authority that Kate knew who AD/LT was from the start. Amanda and Kate were friends for months. She told Kate what she was doing, and Kate went along with it. Kate and Rick came up with a bogus story to cover their own asses after the shit hit the fan. Just to prove their point, Rick took down Amanda's website without talking to her. 11:31
***********
If you have proof of this, I really wish you'd provide it. I am a designer at DC and I'd be really hurt to find out these allegations are true. Who's good authority do you have this on? Who are you? I'm putting my own neck on the line by trying to stick it out with Kate and Rick and if they have really lied to us all, we deserve to know. Please... if you really do have proof, can you please share it? I'm really not sure what to do about my business. Part of me thinks I should just cut my losses and leave DC, but part of me wants to be able to trust them and stay. And, even if I do leave, talent or not, I'm afraid other stores won't even want me now because of all the stuff I've read here.
The longer you stay, the worse you look.
Just to prove their point, Rick took down Amanda's website without talking to her. 11:31
^^^
Are you talking about amandadykan.com? Do Rick and Kate do web hosting?
And, even if I do leave, talent or not, I'm afraid other stores won't even want me now because of all the stuff I've read here.
--------
If you don't believe Rick & Kate, then get the hell out of there now. Show other shop owners that your integrity is worth more than $50 in sales this month.
If you do believe Rick & Kate and want to stay, know that a lot of us don't and you're going to have to deal with that a lot.
It's up to you. Sadly, you have to decide one way or the other and just go with it. Best of luck to you because this is a really shitty situation.

I think those bunnies in Faith's kit is CU from Miss Tiina.
People gave Joedee the benefit of the doubt, and look where that got them.
Smack Blog World,
You Win. Digital Candy will be closing it's doors as a show of respect to our designers. They have never done anything wrong and do not deserve this.
I am not going to sit here and defend anything anymore, you have signed off on the guilty verdict.
This will be my last visit here and any other news will be posted on DC. At this point I am sure AD has cooked up her "proof" that we helped her, so believe what you wish.

I think those bunnies in Faith's kit is CU from Miss Tiina.

and your point is???? Maybe Faith and Miss Tina have an arrangement between them. It does take place and no one has to let you in on it. Sheesh one more know it all to put in the mix but of course you have no proof either so I guess you just like to hear yourself be dumb.
Boy you guys have nothing good to say about Flergs and Faith considering you don't know them from Moses. Too bad I don't know your names so I could post the truth about you instead of the gossipy lies you are posting about them.
This truly saddens me Rick. I know how hard you all have worked to keep DC.
aww - thanks for that, proudtxmom, i'm sure he and kate need all the support they can get right now.
If Rick and Kate truly are more of Amanda's victims, then they need to bring charges and/or a suit against her.
Yup, super guilty. It's like when you accuse someone of stealing and their reaction is "I WILL PAY IT BACK!" (oh, wait, that's what Kate said regarding the flower..). An innocent person and a guilty person react very differently to being accused.
At this point I am sure AD has cooked up her "proof" that we helped her, so believe what you wish.

============
I agree. If they are really innocent and were duped by AD/LAT, they should not take it lying down. She will then have won this round and gotten away with ruining not only the reputation of the store and its owners, but destroyed a "home" for the DC designers, CT and customers. If I were them I will go all out to ensure justice is done and repair their good name in this industry. By not doing so, it appears as an admission of guilt.... So much for AD posing as someone else all for her "love of designing". She has hurt far too many people in her pursuit of fame and popularity.

Oh good grief. Every time I go there, they are bitching about the quality or customer service of some other store. "I don't know why I shop any where else" and "I got an annoying email from another store, WTF?!" or "I just hate that this store just did that" They don't "name names" but everyone figures out who they're talking about. They love smack and I'm sure that a ton of them come here to dish it out. It's so bitchy over there that I know lots of people besides me who refuse to be associated with the place. I just won't post there anymore.

Lackeys? OMG so because some of us like Megs and her designing talent that makes us lackeys? Why, for trying to stick up for her. Her kits suit my style, and they're always nicely done. Is she a drama queen, I have yet to see it. Does she "pimp" herself? Well much and all as I hate that word, why the hell wouldn't she? As I said earlier, it's all part of marketing strategy, it's called ADVERTISING for crying out loud!
So you don't know her but you "know enough". Enough about what? As has been said before about a lot of the other smack on here, put up or shut up.
It was posted at DC before it was posted here. You need to get your facts straight.
it is called time differences. The post above says 1:52 yet my time on my clock says 3pm
I beg to differ. It was posted here first by 10 minutes.

12:51 who the hell is being dumb besides yourself? Are you paying attention to the conversation at all?? Who cares if Faith bought them or if they have an arrangement.. the point is that miss Tiina copies copyrighted material from Sanrio. Got it? Get it? Good!
I find it such a pity that Rick felt they needed to close DC's doors for good. It's a sad, sad day for many who call it their digi home.
I get the feeling this decision was made as a result of his wife being unable to explain why she used more than one CU item she didn't pay for in her designs, and not so much having to do with the LilyAnne debacle. If it was only about Amanda playing them for a fool, they could have held their heads high admitting they were fooled, but that nothing underhanded was going on to implicate them in the farce. I think their silence over the CU misuse speaks volumes.

LMBO! Hence why her stuff is SO unoriginal!
Cry me a river! Go back to sticking your nose up her ass and being a butt kisser. I know enough that I don't buy her crap. Ohhhh, what did I strike a nerve...Boo freaking Hoo!!!

Strike a nerve, nope. I don't kiss anyone's ass, never have, I just happen to like what she makes. Someone else's crap is someone else's treasure, pretty tacky but there you have it. Good gawd woman, get over your freaking anger issues. I'm thinking it was me who hit a nerve telling you to put up or shut up. You obviously know nothing so you had to get defensive and nasty huh?
I find it pathetic and 2 faced when people are all "Oh I feel so sorry xyz store is closing" if you knew what went on behind closed doors you oh so faithful members wouldn't be so sorry! Blind much?! I've been in that position and seriously people, where there's smoke there's fire.
They are closing because there is reason to, reasons that not everyone is privy to. Just be thankful you don't know the whole story I guess. Although, just like AD I don't expect that this will be the last we will see of Rick and Kate.
Honestly Kate if you ARE innocent speak up and tell everyone about your CU "mistake", if you are innocent then DC wouldn't have to shut its doors, but then again I'm sure you know that.
Innocent people are afraid of the backlash of speaking out in digiland, but if it's already hit you then they have nothing to lose by coming clean now do you?

Well, then back to what you do best then. :)
I just don't understand how Kate still wont voice herself or even have the courage to speak for her self about her issues that have nothing to do with Rick. And in the end Rick still had to speak for her which speaks volumes to me.
She tried defending herself. She even paid for the use of the wrong cu item. You all still felt it necessary to beat her up over a mistake.

See, this is what I don't understand (color me daft!). If it was an honest mistake and she made up for it... WHY close down the entire site, let all your designers go and have your customers find a new home? Many people have made "honest mistakes", learned from that and moved on.
maybe it's not because of a CU item.
Well, according to this post:
http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1934725&postcount=215
it "SEEMS". as if the CU flower incident is what caused the close-down. Like several others have said here: it makes NO sense to close down an entire site just because of "one" little CU flower accident ....
Taking all your toys and stomping out of the sandbox (closing DC) would not be necessary if those two were on the up and up.
It looks like Amanda must have had something on them if they're running scared enough to shut down their store.
I predict they'll all be back unders new aliases soon, and up to the same old dishonest crap that they seem so fond of.
I think Kate was admitting out in the open about the flower usage and just the fact that no matter what she or Rick said no one was going to take their side. I think the way everyone over-reacted and is now taking back the CU flower thing as not that big of a deal is just more icing on the cake
If that whole CU flower thing was a mistake, I just don't see the need to shut down their store?? Something's seriously messed up in that whole scenario
No, did you not read Ricks comment it's more than a flower.
1. Amanda & Kate obviously have enough dirt on each other then we think & the truth from Amandas side when it all comes out is going to put her in an even worse light than she already is in.
or
2. Kate is not even a designer but another copy/paste queen learning as she goes, the only background Kate has is that she owns part of DC but there is no mentioning she has experience as a designer. This would have in the end resulted in another AD situation if she really has no experience.
Why shut down? there as so many reasons that I am sure Kate/Rick have and this was probably for the best & I think it was the best decision for them because they can cut there ties altogether with Amanda and start new without the baggage.
Probably because the designers were all leaving over the drama. It's hard enough to run a store that can make a profit but if all your good designers are in mass exodus, then what's financially left to keep you open?
So in a way it does go back to one little flower!
Plenty of evidence of People Power in digiland this month then. Which is a good thing.
Oh boo hoo.
http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/showpost.php?p=1934823&postcount=1
So she's blaming Shilo for this? As if.
She's not blaming anything on Shilo. This is the exact reason she didn't come back to defend herself. You all read whatever you want into any thing Rick and Kate have to say.
This is not about the damn flower. No matter how much she tries to make it look like it is. In fact, no one was really even still talking about the flower. The "accident" story didn't add up, but the kit was pulled, so it would have blown over in short order.
Wonder what Amanda is about to say that has them so worried.
Well, then back to what you do best then. :)

***********************************ain't it great when we can agree to disagree and still end with a smile?! :)
(no snarkism intended, i'm just being honest!)
Shutting down a store isn't enough for you? WHAT more do you want from them? Let them move on!
I agree... smoke = fire. There's no reason to shut down an entire store over a little flower. You keep your chin up and keep going.
See, the mass exodus came because not even their designers could be convinced of the facts. Sad, sad story.

The other thing is, everyone has feelings, even popular designers. I just don't think it's fair to smack her for attaining a level that many designers are trying to attain.

Hmm, ever think it's not just about her designs? There are a lot of designers who have attained that level and well above it who never get smacked. Something to think about.
Don't you people read? It wasn't about a flower.

Exactly. So time to let go. If they're shady and backhanded, they're shutting down now. What more can you ask for?
Shutting down a store isn't enough for you?
--------
Don't they own two sites? I remember reading about some other site they have? Are they just going to move their shady behavior to that store?
They are shutting everything down because you people can't leave anything alone. You aren't happy until you've completely destroyed people that don't fit into your clique.

It wasn't about a flower. It was about two flowers, right? I think that's what has been the underlying thing concerning those CU products. Didn't Shilo say that Kate apologized for using a CU item that wasn't hers (Shilo)? If not hers, then whose was it?
Is there another CU designer who should be compensated?
If I read correctly there was a potential for more than one designer whose CU products were used.
That would be worrisome for other DC designers I would think.

Probably more worrisome that she admitedly swiped it off of the FTP for "Quality Checks".
It's better to check out in the store so the designer knows who has checked out the product for quality checks.
And there's still some question as to what their real association is with AD. Not sure if that was more from people stirring the pot or if there is some truth to it? Some think that they are running to hide whatever that is. I'm not sure if I agree with that.
I bet that due to "overwhelming support and encouragement from the designers and community", they decide not to close at the last minute. You know, for us.

Just like in December, when they had the big sale & was going to close on 12/31/09. Then Rick stepped in to "SAVE THE DAY", and DC remained open.

And blaming this blog for them shutting their store? Puhlease! You sunshiney, kool-aid drinkers can't have it both ways. At places like DST/DSA/DTS/DC you're always claiming that you never even check out this blog, and that it's insignicant.
Then, when you get caught up in defending people like Amanda, Kate, Rick, Joedee, Ashley Olsen, Tandika, etc. then you claim that the 'bad, mean' oh-so-powerful blog has swooped in and destroyed sos many innocent victims. @@ yeah, right.

Right, the whole time she was defending a flower that wasn't even the one I was talking about and never responded when I asked for an explanation on my flower and why she was defending the wrong one the whole time.
But if she's closing DC and it's due to me then I'm sorry for that. I feel like alot of people are blaming me for this..

Shilo, you did nothing wrong. Anyone who would blame you is just completely stupid or trying to deflect.
Kate and Rick are the only ones responsible. It's their store, and they call the shots.

Do you teach them to treat other people the way you get on here and act? No wonder the world is messed up!!! Last time I checked I was no longer in High School!
What a freaking mess.
Honestly, it's starting to sound more and more like Rick and Kate are running scared from whatever Amanda has threatened to say.
Is there anyone left who would believe any.thing. that Amanda would say??

Why you are searching all the time for mistakes from Designers. You can talk about them the quality that they have no ideas or whatever.

I just don't understand why you personally care. If they're reading this and laughing, shouldn't you?
If Kate were truly innocent, she would have put on her big girl panties and stuck it out. Posted for herself instead of having her husband do it. Wouldn't have run screaming from the digi community. I personally don't think that Kate and Amanda are the same person, but I wouldn't be shocked if Kate knew about the whole AD/LA thing, or even encouraged it.
Oh my! The real LilyAnne Taylor is going to be very upset!
*eyeroll*
Here's what I think happened.
Kate was in on it the entire time.
Shit hit the fan, so Kate made up the "omg she must have stolen the real LilyAnne's identity!" story.
Amanda refused to back that up and instead decided she was going to keep the name LilyAnne.
If there's no REAL LilyAnne, Kate's entire story crumbles and she has no way out of the fact that she not only knew this was happening, but assisted in it.
I don't give a crap how much any designer makes. To come here and boast "They sell A LOT of kits and make a LOT of $$$$$$$" says zilch to me as a customer, other than they don't need my money because they're doing so well and that you're a moron. Were you supposed to be trying to make someone jealous? Not being a designer or in competition with them at all, why would I give a rats ass how much they make?
Who is worth downloading in SYTYCD? Anyone have recs?

I tell ya hands down if it wasn't biased or based on popularity, quite a few of these lesser known names would knock them out of the comp. for sure
Maybe Faith and Miss Tina have an arrangement between them.

Oh, so they have an arrangement but everyone else is just a filthy pirate?

No you're just stupid. There are designers out there that have agreements. Just because you think something is being pirated doesn't make it so. There are too darn many allegations made by anonymous people on an anonymous blog and if others want to believe the garbage then that sort of makes them stupid also.
For the record, I'm not the one that said they were pirates. I'm just so sick of everyone screaming pirate when it's someone unknown but when it's a more well-known name involved, they're not pirates, they have an "arrangement."
It's all such utter bullshit.

Re: Kate lettiing Rick answer for her, I can understand that.
I have 2 gfs who let/make their hubbies handle most issues once they get negative. I know I have a tendency to say, "Oh, hon, you handle this... you're better at this sort of thing than me."
So I can see Kate saying that to her dh. Then the poopstorm blew into a hurricane and she wanted nothing more to do with the whole thing. I can see that easily.
If you can't handle poopstorms then being a store owner is not for you. So probably worked out for the best.

What she referenced was that they don't give a shit about the opinions of a bunch of anon harpies on an anon blog. She didn't mention customers once. If they didn't give a shit about their customers opinions and what their customers want, (especially Megs not a Faith fan so can't say much), they wouldn't worry so much about putting out quality kits and putting out what the customer wants.
Why don't you bitches from SUN stay out of shit and mind your own business?

I don't even know wtf SUN is, bitch. Actually I'm a former CT member for DC, so how about you stop going around spouting off shit that you have no clue about?
yeah someone clue me in, wth is SUN?
They are probably talking about sunshine studios. http://www.sunshinestudioscraps.com/shop/home.php

Well, since you called her Megs and not Flergs one can only assume you are defending her cause you are one of her little pee ons. Rock on! I am sure she doesn't give a shit about you either just your money...hahaha!

Actually nope not a peon, just a fan. And I call her Megs because that's her name. Quite honestly she probably doesn't give a shit about me because quite honestly she probably doesn't even know who I am. Doesn't mean I can't stick for her and her work. I like what she does, BFD!

Way to rock out the 90s comeback.
If you do not like a designers work do not buy it ... how simple is that! I have yet to find a designer that is so bad that I have nothing better to do but dog her on a smack blog all day! This reminds me of the the Smack Books we had in school ... remember those where the persons name was at the top of the page and people anon. wrote what they thought of them and it got passed around the school.
SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE DO THEY GIRLS er I mean women.

Right on dude!
For the record, I'm not the one that said they were pirates. I'm just so sick of everyone screaming pirate when it's someone unknown but when it's a more well-known name involved, they're not pirates, they have an "arrangement."
It's all such utter bullshit.
___________________________________________
Well bully for you. I can see you read correctly also. I think the word I used was agreement, not arrangement and in the cases of agreements, designers PURCHASE not SHARE and in agreements there are things ONE CAN and CAN NOT DO. In agreements everything is usually spelled out whether by contract or informally in email. In an arrangement people shake hands and as a designer I'm not about to not get a legal agreement to fall back on if need be. So take your piracy theory and get a life.
Who is worth downloading in SYTYCD? Anyone have recs?

simply.scraps
TracieS
lyznriches
Megan Turnidge
Brandy Designs
Amy Sumrall
Amy Stoffel
I haven't unzipped them all yet, this is just going by the previews that appealed to me.
I don't have piracy theories. I couldn't give a shit, so take your high and mighty attitude and stick it.

As I have at you. We truly do sound like a couple of 12-y/o snot brats. I'm simple-minded and you're offering me cookies. Damn if cookies don't sound good at the moment.
ROFL...Passes Anon some fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. My kids HAD to have them. So take lots cause they are too tempting for me. ;) BTW, apparently someone pissed in my corn flakes this morning.

Chocolate chip! My favorite, especially if the chocolate chips are still all melty, soft and gushy! Pissy cornflakes suck don't they? I much prefer mine with milk and strawberries, but you know there's always that sneaky someone that just has to piss in em :)
Geez....if you are a designer and you feel that you need this:

You need to quit designing....fast.

Hope you liked the cookies. My kids devoured them. My youngest was a mess...lol. Yes, I prefer my cornflakes with fruit as well instead of someone pissing in them...lol.
Anonymous request to the girls at ScrapOrchard:
I read, with great disappointment, your note at DSA about not having a designer call after-all, with all of the great entries in the contest, and would like you to please reconsider that.
Please do not cancel your designer call! I've been waiting and watching, hoping and dreaming... would LOVE to be invited to join the SO team (and I believe my work is top-notch, as do my customers and just about anyone who has downloaded any of my freebies). I wanted to join the contest but had several family events that prevented me from committing to a contest with short deadlines, so I couldn't enter. With a close family member getting married, and me being her personal attendant and quasi-unofficial wedding planner (handling what feels like a million "little" details, from catering details to picking up flowers and table decorations, meeting with musicians to finalize music choices, etc. etc! That, along with my son graduating from college next week, and preparing for open house for that, and (on top of ALl of that!) my mother going through a medical crises and intense treatment causing her to need my help right now, there was no way I could pull off a contest or have time to present my best work right now. (not making excuses; just sayin'...)
Please, would you re-consider having a designer call, to give a few other people a chance, if they were not able to participate in this particular contest?
^^^why not just ask them by contacting the store directly? I just don't see the advantage of an appeal coming from "the" blog?
I feel so bad for the DC designers. My advice would be to apply - cold call style - to the stores you would like to sell at. No need to wait for an offical call. If they like your designs, they will probably take you on.
Now you feel sorry for the DC designers? Where was your "sympathy" for them a couple of days ago when you were dragging DC's name through the mud?
Excuse me??? I nver ONCE chimed in on the DC fiasco, here or anywhere.

Why in the world would you assume that the OP was dragging DC's name through the mud? I was dragging Kate's name through the mud for sure, but not any of the designers. Just because you design someplace doesn't mean you and the owner of the store are interchangeable. I too feel badly for the designers, and I hope that Kate hasn't accidentally kept anything of theirs, and that they can quickly find new homes that are, for the most part, drama-free.

The crux of it all. Blaming this blog is a cop out.
If Kate and Rick have nothing to hide, there's no need to close DC.
May 8, 2009 4:58 PM
That would mean that PS designers who stroke their extractions to check for strays had better quit designing fast, because this is essentially what she has created, a stroke for psp users, just another tool.
If you have to actually purchase something to do that for you....
That was my point.

Completely 100% agreed.

__________________________
I might be wrong since I don't use PSP, but I believe that PSP does not have a stroke tool the way that PS does. So it isn't as simple to check for strays and an action would be useful to make it easier in PSP. Yes, everyone should know how to do it in PS if they are a designer, but not all programs have the same capabilities.

You must really be insecure about yourself or your designs if you are a Designer that is. I bet you are the one that is in here finding flaws in everyone's work. Let's see something you created. Beings you are the God of all scraps. If you do not like it don't buy it. Do you go stalking sites just to find items that you can pick on? Pathetic is what you are. Again let's see something you designed. Stupid ass.
Honestly, at least that bird is original. Overall though I am so sick of birds in kits.
exactly, everyone's birds are starting to look the same. God forbid anyone do anything that is outside the box. Who cares if it has 4 damn legs. How does that effect you? You don't like it don't buy it. At least keep your rude comments about others work to yourself. The only thing your comment did was make you look like a immature douche.
I dunno, I laughed pretty hard at a 4 legged bird. Douchey or not
