This blog ain't even close to reality. It's the digiscrap version of smut T.V.

Just giving you new space...and I like the comment above.

Actually, I went over to DST to find some smack worthy stuff, and I couldn't find anything. Pretty boring over there unless you are into arguing over health care reform.

So I don't want to kill the conversation started in the last thread...Why has DST lost its luster? Have people moved on to a new craft, have people moved to store forums, are people actually scrapping for themselves or have they all turned into designers?

Concerning Jen Wilson, I believe I read that she has ongoing medical issues, she just chooses not to broadcast them.

I think we should have a little more compassion, who knows what people go through that we're not privy to.

I am constantly amused by the names of designers,
making this up
Gertrude has a shop and she loves frogs and scraps, combines it to be
frog scraps
cute
and her name is frogscrap
frogs crap,
yes they do, but it's small piles I guess

I'm telling you, there is a lot of humor in the scrap world!

Did I miss any personal bashing of Jen Wilson? The only things I recall were inconsistencies in putting out product.

I think we should have a little more maturity than to think a comment about business practices equals some kind of personal insult.

Anonymous said...

I didn't say it was personal bashing. It doesn't matter to me if you bash her as a designer or personally, to me it's all bashing. She is a real person with real feelings, not a business.

I don't think I'm immature for feeling empathy for her. Just the opposite, imho.

Anonymous said...

If she has ongoing medical issues she should stop promising product and not delivering. Everyone would be okay if things came out less regularly, it's the promises about regular releases and the failure to do so that piss people off.

Anonymous said...

You're right, she shouldn't promise things if she has issues. It's just that I know sometimes I have the best of intentions, feel good and motivated, then $%#@ happens and I can't do anything. Yeah, I have problems too sometimes. :(

Anonymous said...

Good grief she's using the initials of her Shop. They just happen to spell ASS. I guess if ASS is good enough to have in the bible then why are you so offended by that word. As it happens my daughter had the initals ASS it just sort of worked out that way.
---------------------------
Never said I was offended. I find it kind of funny if they don't realize it. But am just unimpressed if they did it for shock value.

Not saying YOU have to be unimpressed, just that I am. Not saying I'm an expert in being unimpressed either.

I am NOT trying to make you take on my opinion.

Just want to make sure you understand and spell it out simply since you really didn't understand my first post ;)

Why do people get so huffy here sometimes? Isn't this for fun and being sarcastic?

scrapping is full of people
people with memories they share with strangers that become friends.

CTs create for designers in a business deal and become friends

when the "hey this is a business" card is thrown everyone is hurt!

darn people, we should not have them in scrapping!

oh wait, we need people to buy the product!

An ASS isn't an arse, butt, backside in all countries. An ASS is a DONKEY after all is said and done. Perhaps if you Americans spelled in English instead of American you'd be a tad less judgemental. Try calling it an arse so people can differentiate. Oh, and a FANNY isn't another name for a backside either. Fanny is a woman's private bits in most other countries.

I know it. I made the mistake of venturing into the hot topics forum once. I'm a Dem, so I'm a-scared to say anything for fear I'll be bashed and labeled a socialist. Some of those women need to shut it and step away. You might think the world has ended with all the paranoia going on. There are political forums all over the place, why can't they just get together and take it to one of those? Both sides drive me nutty but it's the hard conservatives that really need to chill out.

Two things that need to stay out of forums that are not specifically designated for each topic are religion and politics.

I won't turn this place into a political or religious debate.

Well it is here in America and since so many other countries think we're so self-centered, then everyone else should change for us, LOL!

Arse is okay to say here, it's not a "bad" word as opposed to Ass, which is a no-no. I wonder how it changed? And fanny - wonder how that became a behind? We also call it hiney, tushy, booty.

Let us know if we should change any of those as well for the sake of everyone else ;) I think the differences are fun.

I was overseas one time and someone asked me for a fag - took me a moment to realize he wanted a smoke. Then asked me if he could "nip" a potato chip (forgot what he called potato chip). "nip" was totally lost on me. LOL

re: the ASS convo. This is a sidenote but it's soooooo dumb how stores use initials all the time for themselves. They just assume everyone knows the name of their store and how to get there. They could improve their traffic and google results by using their full shop name with an incoming link but almost no one who owns a consigment shop does ANYTHING to optimize for search engines because they only have a self-learned designed background and NO business or web background/knowledge. Just because you buy a domain and possibly a shopping cart (although there are free carts too) doesn't mean you know ANYTHING about business. TOO FEW designers and store owners know anything about the business side of selling online. One of the MAJOR things that makes this "industry" as joke.

Here, Here! With Zen Cart being free and fairly simple to install and customize, Photoshop/PSP easily available through a vast number of file sharing sites and the number of commercial use produts on the market, added to the whole lack of business sense makes this industry a joke.

I have nothing against people trying to make a few extra bucks...in this (entire world) economy, there's not too many people who couldn't use more money. However, it's getting way out of control, especially with the floods of poorly rendered Daz crap and kits made from badly made CU items. There's a whole lot less "designers" actually designing anything at all. It's sad to see how greed is so obviously a motivator, especially within the CU shops. I don't know how many stores some of these girls sell at but it seems as if I see the same names in every store I visit and those are the ones that really have crappy stuff out. The handful of CU designers that I have bought from when I do buy CU only sell at one or two stores, don't have 100,000 items (like stupid styles..EW! ENOUGH WITH THE CRAPPY STYLES!) but only a couple of pages worth and what they do have for sale is original and really well made and none of them sell at the big CU cluster-fuck stores.

*sniff* I miss the good ole' days where there were only a couple of stores and even though some of the stuff may have been subpar to what today's standards have become, at least it was mostly hand-crafted and original.

I am not actively designing for any store but I do make stuff for my own site here and there and only do it for fun. I mostly buy scraps for myself to scrap with. It's getting harder to find anything worth a shit anymore. Too much fantasy and too much recolored CU kits, neither of which I have any interest in and what actually prompted me to start my own stuff.

Eek...sorry for the long rant. I just get pissy about it because I absolutely love digiscrapping and have sadly watched it go way downhill since I started back in 2003.

And I'm tired of the pro-Obama brigade thinking Obama is going to save the world. Not saying this is you, just saying. Bush wasn't perfect or wonderful, but neither is Obama, and I'm sick of everyone trying to convince me he's the best thing to ever happen to our country.

I'm SICK of kits filled with the same CU items recolored and regurgitated. I have no use for Fantasy kits. Show me a nice well crafted kit full of original items and original papers - not all folded or creased or have inked edges (my pet peeve!!!)

I don't have a chip on my shoulder. Just pointing out that the use of ASS shouldn't be taken as an offence when the word doesn't mean anything bad in most countries, simply for the fact that an ASS is a donkey. Using the term ASS instead of arse or backside seems to be a predominently US thing.

You "root" for sporting teams. People don't take offence because they know it's an innocent term in US. In most other counties, root is a euphamism for sexual intercourse. If you say you root for a sports team, nobody makes a fuss because they know it's not meant in the same way as other countries.

Just trying to point out there are differences in the meaning of words and just because you may find one word offensive in America doesn't mean it was actually meant in an offensive way - just as some of the American terms may be offensive to others but not in the US.

I hope you checked out some of the other designers at Oscraps while you were there. One of the few places that still has original designers that make stuff you can use for a lot of things. After my spending freeze, I bought from there and I'm going back. I'm very happy with my purchases.

Gotcha-thanks! Actually, ass/ASS doesn't offend many people here, either. It doesn't even blip on my radar, actually.
Thanks also for the spelling examples. I thought that might be what was meant, but wanted to be sure. I have no idea why so much spelling got Americanized, and it wouldn't bother me a bit to use real/standard English.
I also have no idea why the U.S. still stubbornly refuses to standardize to the metric system, either! Metric is much easier and makes more sense.

It makes me laugh every time those threads come up because if you look at them on a six month basis, they change so much.

#1 Did you see the CT Enabling thread for the 31st? I have NEVER seen such crap listed, one right after the other! The LOs aren't good, either (of course it's not so easy to scrap crap)

#2. POLL for CTs: do you always tell the designer her kit is great, even when you think it's ugly?

POLL for CTs: If you see tons of stray pixels, do you tell her?

#3. Poo! I wish I had read this blog today, but instead I went shopping and bought beau coup at Christina Renee's 75% off sale. She's really good at previews, I'll say that for her. The stuff I bought was so-so. I didn't hate it, but on some of the collections I bought, I only wanted one item and figured 75c was an okay price. One thing was so bad it was positively unidentifiable -- a belt buckle? Truly bad!

#4 I just put $50.00 more dollars into Paypal and did a quick look to see my YTD scrap-spending: $1900.00, minus about $200.00 that went to Ebay and was NSBR. (But then I have to add back about $100.00 (Visa) to Katie Pertiet who doesn't take Paypal.)
Is this abnormal? I cannot stay away from the stores!

Just think, with all that money I spent I could have paid Tragedy Ann to make my scrapbooks for me! ROTFLMA(arse)O

If I don't like a kit that one of my designers has made, I wouldn't tell her it's great, but I wouldn't tell her it's ugly either. Someone else may love it. For instance, if one of my designer does pink, I'm not into it, even though I have a girl, I just don't like pink.

I've always had a good enough relationship with my designers that if there is a problem with their product, I tell them. They are always grateful. It's really easy to miss stuff sometimes.

POLL for CTs: do you always tell the designer her kit is great, even when you think it's ugly?

nope, I didn't say anything to her, I moaned a bit at home and my husband said, you aren't her slave...yeah duh, after 2 kits of regurgitated bad stuff, I put my resignation in. but I didn't tell her...wimp that I am

POLL for CTs: If you see tons of stray pixels, do you tell her?
Oh I am the one to tell about stray pixels....but honestly it has only happened probably 2 times. Once was a OKC, but it wasn't a great kit once opened anyways.

as a CT, seeing every kit, you pick up if they are just redoing an element or not.

a lot of the designers are doing pick the kit only if you are going to work with it. I like that flexibility
and a few of the designers I ct for before the kit comes out shows it to us, for input of what might be missing and asks for input.
and one will point blank ask for opinions on specific things in the kit...(you know who you are..ha ha)and really wants to know!

ah yes and yet private info from the DCR once again rears it's head. It's too bad that the one who snitched the info this time from the DCR which is suppose to be a private forum doesn't understand what she signed, when she gained access, was a privacy clause that stuff said in the DCR wouldn't work it's way out of the DCR but we all know that not everyone who has access is an upstanding citizen who keeps their bloody mouths shut. So to that person I say you are the worst of the worst and shouldn't dare speak ill of anyone else when you can't honor a commitment you made by signing and getting into the DCR.

and yes Designers read this Blog if for no other reason then to set some records straight because the other idiots would have you believing in everything whether it is true or not and a good part of the time it's just trash talk and holds no basis whatsoever. Disgruntled people love to pull in others into their misery. SAD SAD SAD

That's mild. I found a HUGE site the other day dedicated to Disney clip art. There were literally thousands of clip art images and post cards and all kinds of disney related crap. On the bottom of the front page, as a small disclaimer, "these are Disney's images, blah, blah, I have no affilliation, yada, yada." Idiot.

Alikat (or however she spells it) scraps made kit after kit using trademarked images from everywhere, Disney, Nick, Nick Jr. Same sort of disclaimer about copyright and only taking them for personal use, in the same breath claiming "Fair Use." Idiot.

Honey Designs WAS using trademarked items but has since stopped but still right-clicks images from the web, "extracts" them and puts them in her kits at 72dpi. Idiot.

People put all kinds of copyrighted crap up at DigiscrapDepot.com, too. Idiots.

GAWD. I need to bleach my eyeballs.

Blushbutter just sent out layouts of herself breast-feeding her baby. With several clear shots of her completely uncovered breasts.


I have no problem with breastfeeding; I breastfed all 3 of my babies and sometimes had to do it in public. I did so discreetly, with a blanket covering myself, so I would not offend anyone around me. I certainly would never post pictures of my breasts or send them around in a mass-marketing e-mail! That is just ridiculous. Some pictures and pages should remain private. I certainly don't want to get them in my e-mail!

Twisted? How is it twisted? For all of you who are saying I don't find breastfeeding offensive, clearly you do! You find it so offensive, you feel the need to make a comment about how not offended you are but yet you are offended.

I checked out the LO. It's not offensive. The way those of you who are not offended yet offended were going on about it, I expected full frontal nudity. But is it? Not, it's just a baby on a breast.

If you find that offensive, then I think it's you who are twisted. Some of you are so uptight, it's a wonder you don't implode.

breastfeeding photos are fine for personal LOs but not business purposes. having boundaries and business smarts doesn't make a person uptight. Like I wouldn't use a LO about my divorce to pimp my own products. Designers blur the lines too much between their personal lives and business persona

Why would being on a customer mailing list constitute anything more than just that? Would you mass-mail your breastfeeding layouts to your customer mailing list?

I get emails from Radio Shack, Target, Amazon and more, as well as scrap stores. I really hope I don't get birth photos from the CEO from Amazon promoting a birthing book or a layout of some big-wig from Radio Shack french-kissing their gay lover advertising a love song mix CD. Neither one are offensive to me in the proper context but not exactly promo material for that next nifty thing to buy. And I certainly wouldn't call them my friends.

You will laugh your butts off when I tell you who the most wanted designer according the DST search is.
When you go to advanced search and scroll down, there is the tag cloud
with words like call, sale, freebie, scrapping themes and designer names people are searching for. The bigger the letters the more poular a search tag is. A couple of weeks ago I went there and was wondering how come Colie's Corner be so popular. Her designs are pretty bland.
Today, I was searching for a particular theme again, and again saw COLIE'S CORNER in big fat letters in front of my nose. WTF?
Apparently, this person begins every day with typing her designer name in the search string like 10 times. She targets uninformed site visitors who might have impression that her products are the hottest in town.
So what are other smart ass marketing tactics some designers use?

You bring up an interesting point. I always wondered how the designer would know - especially for the designers that sell PU and CU as the same exact pack, but with higher pricing if you wanted CU usage. Exactly - how would they ever know? Yes - of course they have invoices, but if do you always know who you're selling to?

Anonymous said...

That's why I have my own original PU products and never sell them as CU. I had that very thought when I first started selling CU products. I do have a little note in my terms of use that if anyone wants to use any of my PU items for commercial resale, they can contact me and I will arrange it.

RE:If QC is a major issue for CR, then I'd bet dollars to donuts that her real store "handler/editor" makes her re-do tons of stuff. Can't ship out fuzzy printed product to real stores, can they?

You must have gotten a fluke product from CR, because her stuff is of the best quality out there.

I live in France and first found Christina Renee stamps by Prima in a local scrapbook store here.Her Paris stamps are my favorite stamps I have purchased and I use them often.Now I buy her digital stuff and really enjoy scrapping my grand kids with it.

"Yes, CR designs for Prima paper products. I've seen her stamps and flocked stuff from Prima."

I guess they can. Oh I crack myself up.

Snort! I've had a lot of product from CR and it's all been bad. You must have been lucky in your one purchase.

Geez, it's only the beginning of the month. I really like Holly's stuff, although I wish she would design her old way again and leave or at least incorporate the new fantasy stuff.

==================================
There is absolutely nothing original about Hollie. She is a Jofia knockoff, just like all the other designers at Shabby Pickle.

Since you have so much or a lot, keep purchasing it so you can bitch about it, ok? Makes a lot of sense. Snort! lol
