«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 2219 Newer› Newest»well, I can honestly say that sometimes my daughter is a bitch. And you know what, when I was a kid, sometimes I was bitch too. I got spanked. Not with a little light tap either. We're talking full on switch or belt. Or if I made a smart ass remark to my parents or an adult, I had to bite a bar of soap and chew it. Now, that may not be PC or seem cruel and harsh to some but you know what else? I've never been to jail, or had any trouble with the law and am respectful of others.
I'm not telling you to go beat your kid, but maybe some discipline or some tough love might help. Good luck.
Hey 4:59 Dumbshit, I think they were replying about the post about the child comment not the post that you are reffering to. Idiot.
I am shocked that a mother could say this about her own child, regardless of how they act.

Shocked? You are probably one of those women that sees motherhood as the epitome of womanhood.
I am pretty sure an eleven year old only does what they see or what they are allowed to do.
-------------
Could be, an 11 year old spends a lot of time away from home being at school or extra curricular activities. Who knows what they are being exposed to then.
Eleven year olds today are not the 11 year olds of a previous generation - not with TV, video, FB and school.

Well look at how parents act,I mean look at some of the way you grown women talk about one another. How would you expect your child to be any better when they learn from you and how you act. So I do not think you can blame it on fb tv or anything else, I think that some people should take a long look in the mirror and see how childish you are acting on this blog. I think some kids today have more common sense then some of you on this blog. Maybe we could take some lessons from our kids on how to treat others.
^^^^
Again with the preaching. I stay away from things I don't like.
I don't understand why some of you hate this blog, yet feel the need to come and preach all the time. Take a good long look at your sanctimonious self and wonder why you feel the need to hand slap.
How would you expect your child to be any better when they learn from you and how you act.
------------
What a naive statement.
You are all crazy bitches.
^^^
Thank you for your input.
Do you feel better now?
LMAO - this blog is ALWAYS good for a laugh first thing in the morning. What a nutty bunch we have here! People write things to get a reaction, and they sure get it here, which is, I spose, what this blog is for...but, honestly? Who the hell cares if someones daughter is a bitch? Who cares which store is better? I don't. But sure is funny reading all this stuff :)
Has anyone seen this?
http://www.digishoptalk.com/boards/search-100/iso-cu-tabs-255615/
These 2 products are identical. Can a designer buy a custom shape tool (the product includes .png files as well) and then sell the whole set as a CU product that includes .png, .abr, and .csh without applying any changes to it? So all you need to do is repackage it?
Anyway, I'm amazed that there's a market for such simple shapes. LOL! Should you still be a designer if you can't make some ordinary tabs without using any CU products?
^^^^^^^^
I was coming to post the exact same thing .. i'm not sure she stole them (bought them and repackaged), but they look like she copied them ... they're too similar not to be copied. But, you can't really copyright an idea, but possibly the shape. It's hard to say though, since they are the shape of a common item you can buy in real life.
And yes, a good designer should be able to make these themselves.
well, copy or steal, she is so busted.
P.S. I swear this is true, and a pure coincidence, the word verification is "bustros" :)
^^^^^
They are very similar but not identical. If you overlay both previews and scale them to match, you will see that they do NOT match. I would suspect that both designers made those by hand, probably using their preset shapes, and based on images on the net for the inspiration of the shapes (maybe a store page or so). I am not saying that one didn`t copy the idea from the other, but it has been said before: you cannot copyright an idea or a shape.
Close call at first glance though.
It's enough of a coincidence that I wouldn't buy from Jen Balding.
Oh, and just fro kicks, my wv is "bionone." I will bionone of those!
oh, and before the spelling police get me, I know that "for" is spelled wrong.
Still, to come up with the same eight specific shapes and put them together in a pack the same way? I'm sorry but I think the intent is clear enough and I lost considerable respect for the designer whose product came out later.
Oh and that product is not even in her store anymore. I followed the link and it says "This product is unavailable or temporary disabled." Why withdraw it if you don't think you're in the wrong?
The whole thing is suspect.
Oh for pete's sake. They are tab templates which in essence are just shapes. You can find them at any office supply store. I know Jen and I'm sure she did not set out to 'copy' someone else's scrap stuff. Sure she disabled them, wouldn't you if someone pointed out there were some very similar? It's just common courtesy. sheesh
So anyone doing the scrapping contest at the Lilypad this week?
I agree that they are just tab templates, but you are not going to tell me that you'd come up with the EXACT SAME SHAPES without having seen the other pack. It's not impossible, but it's so improbable that I'm going to call BS if she tries to be all innocent about it. Even if she recreated them herself, it's obvious she was looking at the Scrapgirls ones as inspiration.
common courtesy would be to not copy in the first place
So tell me why the "new designers" have cuter kits than the "established designers" at DSA?
Ew, are you crazy! I downloaded 2 things from the established designers and nothing from the new ones.

Good lord people go to a big scrapbook store and see how many similar tabs are packaged by several different companies looking exactly the same as these 2 packages. Possibly same idea-identical no and tabs, are tabs are tabs and that should be that and maybe the designer from SG got her idea from the real stuff. I even have dies from different companies with same looking tabs that come from the dies that go through my die cutting machines.
I think that you all just want something to make a big deal over. I was making these kind of tabs ages ago and yes, they are still popular in the paper world so why wouldn't they still be popular in the digital world. They are used all the time in making hard books.
Anyway, I'm amazed that there's a market for such simple shapes. LOL! Should you still be a designer if you can't make some ordinary tabs without using any CU products?

I'm amazed that you think every single designer has Photoshop and or a scanner and can make shapes.

Because they are two different worlds. What's still popular in the paper world is not popular in the digital world.

I usually don't go on the copycat bandwagon but those shapes are just much too similar. There are a lot of different ways to make tabs and to have two almost identical packets? I don't think so. A clear case of 'inspiration' gone too far.
I'm amazed that you think every single designer has Photoshop and or a scanner and can make shapes.
Those shapes are so easy to make manually even in a free program like GIMP. You don't even have to have Photoshop with preset shapes or a scanner at all. (Seriously, a scanner?) I stand by what I said earlier, "Should you still be a designer if you can't make some ordinary tabs without using any CU products?" And I am NOT even a designer, just a regular scrapper who has just started doing digi a little over a year.
^^^^^
Maybe it's just easier to buy them instead of making them. Whether or not someone can make a shape has nothing to do with their ability as a designer. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. For example, Designer A makes great shapes, but her kits are awful. Designer B buys the shapes, but her color palettes and originality blow me away.
^^^^
Point taken. I guess as a scrapper, I have too high an expectation of digi designers' skill and creativity. :(
Because they are two different worlds. What's still popular in the paper world is not popular in the digital world.
No I will admit that the fantasy shit hasn't reached the paper market and hopefully never does but tabs is a staple and if you don't use them fine but don't assume others don't.

Tabs are not a staple. They are rarely if ever mentioned in the threads about basic items in kits. I didn't assume anything.

_____________
Sheesh yourself. You are so blinded by your friendship with Jen that you can't even admit she got busted. There is NO WAY she can have come up with the EXACT 8 shapes. And the fact that she disabled her product speaks for itself. You don't disable products if you don't think you did something wrong. Obviously, that designer cried all night praying nobody noticed but it's too late.
Ew, are you crazy! I downloaded 2 things from the established designers and nothing from the new ones.

Seriously, some of the new designers were good.
http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=230010 <- original and cool
http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=229627 <- pretty and soft
http://digiscrapaddicts.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=229899 <- nice colors
When you consider that these are NEW at this and have no experience I think it's pretty good!
^^^^
Oh erk, the 'nice colors' are hideous, IMO.
I don't mind the alchemy one, but it's not original. Irene Alexeeva and designers at Digital Crea do a ton of stuff like that all the time.
As for them being new with no experience, not necessarily. They could have 11 months of experience behind them, or even more.
So, they are allowed to use CU in their submission? That shouln't be allowed in a 'designing' contest.
Dawn Inskip is leaving PBP anybody know why and where she might be moving to?

==============
Well I don't shop there so to me it looked original, I thought the candy corn beak was a cute touch.
As far as the tab templates discussion goes, odds are the store owner was made aware of the duplication and disabled the item herself. Michelle Batton at FPD is no fool, and odds are it was pulled down by her and she's probably trying to get to the bottom of it before she lets it go back up or not. Any decent store owner would do the same thing out of courtesy and also as a CYA deal just in case it was pirated or copied.

I don't shop at those stores either. It was a cute. If you like stuff like that, Irene is worth checking out. She sells at Scrap Orchard I think.
Dawn Inskip started a store last month at Matroshiki
LOL who do you think makes the paper patterns and stuff for the paper world? an anonymous monkey? Most of it is done digitally and had been long before there was digital scrapbooking.
Sorry I didn't make myself clear. When I said I just started doing digi, I meant I just started the hobby. I have never done paper scrapbooking at all. You actually made my point. I just expected designers to be more skillful and creative and not rely too much on CU products.
(This discussion is getting old now so I'll be moving on now. Thanks.)
^^^^^
Nowadays, almost all designers rely on CU. This wasn't the case around 4 years ago. Sure, they used CU but it wasn't as readily available as it is now.

October 4, 2010 7:31 PM
I agree. The girl with the "nice colours" sells at 4 stores! Is she considered to be "a new designer"?
^^^^^
Yep, one of the qualification you had to have for being a new designer was to be selling for less than 12 months
^^^^^^^
And SELLING for less than 12 months does not mean DESIGNING for less than 12 months. But really, who would know how long someone has been DESIGNING? I guess the SELLING criteria is the closest to anything checkable.
So as well as Lauren Reid, et Designs is now leaving 9th and Bloom too!!!

------------------
That's HI-larious, because I remember Dawn Inskip was at "Cats Crap" she had her whole store taken down for a couple of weeks with no explanation, then it reappeared out of the blue. From asking around I heard there were major copyright issues with several of her kits and they took her store down until she fixed them all.
She was let go from CatScrap with no fanfare quite a while later - several months? Don't know if it was related or not. I do know she didn't leave on her own, though.
So if Maya is picking up THAT kind of drama, it seems ... just about right, doesn't it? Another "totally original" designer.

But considering that this is a smack blog you have to admit there is humor there. If I had made that mistake I would laugh at myself. I hope the artist will get a good chuckle and move on.

Or realistic.
going back to the "top stores" discussion: is digiscrap warehouse a top store? it seems like there are some big name designers there (thaty, cindy doerksen, babette, royanna, cyndi miller, etc.) but then there are some that are sub-par (barb speck, theres k). just curious.
sorry to take the discussion back two weeks. :)
I wouldn't call it a top store and I wouldn't consider any of those top designers.
What does it matter? If you like it, buy from there or design there.
There's far too much of a hang up by some about what is and isn't a top store.
Is the brand new brand at SBG (where Dutchie's stuff will be redisplayed) called "the Lab"? That seems to be a new "designer/brand" in the store, and it has no product yet.
-------
There is now one product in that category, and it does look like Dutchie's stuff. So Dutchie transformed into a Lab!
Barb's stuff isn't bad in its core. Some of her brushes and overlays are good. It's all that funky texture she puts on stuff that ruin it. Plus her previews can be downright scary at times.
babette, lol, go to graphics factory and download, she does.
go here for babs stuff it's free. horses,shapes.

^^^^^ Yes, it's allowed but I wouldn't call her a "designer"

That is a "re-packager" (or pretend-to-be-designer).
^^^^^ I wonder who buys her stuff...
No, the kind of items on photobrushes.com that are commercial use are not allowed for commercial resale purposes. There is a HUGE difference between commercial use, and commercial use that allows resale or redistribution of any kind. Read a little closer.
well then how does old Barb get away with it? or is one of those "secret places" that she has a standing agreement with, or so she claims, to use their stuff?
^^^
"is digiscrap warehouse a top store? it seems like there are some big name designers there (thaty, cindy doerksen, babette, royanna, cyndi miller, etc.)"
Not Barb, babette--the hand-drawn items and shapes and crowns and textures and don't forget the overlays..all originals yep. originally from other places.lol
No, the kind of items on photobrushes.com that are commercial use are not allowed for commercial resale purposes. There is a HUGE difference between commercial use, and commercial use that allows resale or redistribution of any kind. Read a little closer.
_______
The fact of the matter is Babette doesn't even sell brushes so she isn't reselling anything. Making derivative works from Commercial Use product is NOT reselling the product. Making derivative works is what is usually expected from those using Commercial Use resources and those selling Commercial Use resources. Recoloring is not considered making a derivative work. She doesn't take a product and just plop it into a kit or repackage it as the poster so stupidly put it.
It's quite obvious that some of you just have a bone to pick and keep trying to make others believe that what you say about some one is gospel. Hopefully there are those smart enough to read through the lines that much of what is said here are personal attacks or vendettas and it usually doesn't go very far when others know the designer's work and happily purchase it. Most of the time those trying to make a designer look bad haven't even purchased that designer's work. But of course this is a smak blog so no one has to back up their comments with facts. It's all just supposition but nice try. Usually your attacks tend to make sales rise for those whose names you try discredit. ROFL
Get real people. Learn the facts. Stop acting like spoiled children or adult bullies. It certainly doesn't become you.
by the way the last post was not posted by any of named designers just by someone who is sick and tired of the personal slander that goes on on this blog. Smak blog or not I sometimes wonder why anyone feels the need to belittle someone else. I guess it makes you feel good about yourself or you feel it gives you a certain amount of power over others.

Doesn't sell brushes...hmmmm, what are these and the other abr files she is selling oh smart one
http://www.digiscrapwarehouse.com/xcart/commercial-use-product/db43.html
YOUR WORDS---Commercial Use resources and those selling Commercial Use resources. Recoloring is not considered making a derivative work.
so I suppose it is pure coincidence that this set of bears is on graphics factory???

and one more-taking a black and white celtic knot from GF and making it all black and repackaging it is NOT exactly 'designing'-taking a png and making a png is not designing
not mention that GF requires you to continue paying each year that you sell anything you make from their site. just a little tip.

I love her. Seriously.
I'm amazed that simply.craps is still making herself look like a complete idiot.
The fact of the matter is Babette doesn't even sell brushes so she isn't reselling anything.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
She absolutely sells brushes dip shit. For someone so (mis)informed about commercial use terms, I find it strange that you don't even know what an abr. file is? Huh? Your entire post is a pile of incorrect crap. Hush now.
Those of you who are real live scrappers and not designers, may or may not be excited to know that MOST of the same designers who are screaming and crying over the pirating and sharing of their products, are creating said products on bushwacked/torrent verision or shared/pirated versions of PS and Illustrator.

Well hell why don't you just go to the source and ask for a proof of purchase. I'd be more then happy to show you my statment for Photoshop. I bet you'd have to eat your idiotic words over that one. No not every designer can afford Photoshop and Illustrator but there are many designers designing with PSP and PSE. Hell there are some that even started out with Gimp. Anytime a new version comes out, the old version goes down in price. You can go on EBAY and buy a brand new unopened version of PSE 8 for less then $40.00 Inside of the box is the key you need to register the product. I would say there are more honest people out there then not but you'd want everyone to believe that every designer is a thief. I call bullshit to the max on this crap.
Yes, no one talks about pirated Photoshop and Illustrator, do they?
Menawhile on the CU... DSP sure brought out the soldiers for this thread, didn't they?
I started at DSP and spent $20.00 on 5 kits. Many of the kits had tags with holes, but out of the 5 kits I bought, there was not one string or one staple. Not one attachment. I was so honked off! So, yeah, bring on the CU, and give me a KIT to scrap with.

I second that
Smak blog or not I sometimes wonder why anyone feels the need to belittle someone else. I guess it makes you feel good about yourself or you feel it gives you a certain amount of power over others. If that's the way you get your jollies then carry on.

On sanctimonious and belittling one, do you feel powerful and jolly yet?
Not getting the JennCk hero worship.
I understand what she is saying and I agree with her sentiments about why we scrap, but that is not the issue. She, and her followers, have missed the basic point.
If I buy a real ribbon, or whatever, and use it, it's gone. Unless I unstick it, I can't use it again.
If a buy a digi ribbon, or whatever, well, I can use it again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again - you get the picture.
I don't really need 20 kits with the same ribbon or whatever in it now, do I?

Hi Babette! You are so full of shit. Making a derivative work out of a CU and reselling it as CU is rarely allowed. It's called CU4CU and it's NOT allowed on graphics factory: http://www.graphicsfactory.com/g-eula.html
Read that part:
2. PERMITTED USES. You can:
(...)
Digital Scrapbooking : Credit link on each page where the digital scrapbook kits are sold and a credit link included in the usage rights. You can include 300dpi jpg's, vector files can not be included with the templates. An active membership is required to continue selling digital scrapbooking kits with our images.
It means you can includes the images in your kits but those kits must be sold as PU and NOT another CU.
I'm so glad other people finally acknowledge the fact that Babette is a jerk. She is also a thief by reselling material she can't resell. And what about the people who buy her shit? She doesn't care if they get in troubles because of her. What a selfish bitch. And BIG shame on all the store owners who have been covering for her for years.
I'm amazed that simply.craps is still making herself look like a complete idiot.

How? I really want to know. How is she still continuing to make herself look like a complete idiot?
I got a kick reading 'steadfast and immovable's comment. She said "The main reason I purchased them is because I had to learn the basics of designing first and use the CU Products as a crutch.".
So here's a chic that doesn't know the basics of designing but puts a shingle out as a designer.
Oh dear .....
Have you seen her stuff? I'm not so sure I'd venture do even say designer....

^^^^^^^^^^^^
All true except for the fact that what is on many of the clip art sites are clip art gained from a common resource so that the possiblity stands that she may NOT have gotten her resources from Graphics Factory at all. Or there is also the possiblity that like myself she asked for special permission at some point and got the ok to use the clipart in CU product. I had permission from graphic factory to use their stuff in my CU product. Duhhh it only took an email to accomplish that.
Reading usage rights on a site is fine except in the case where the designer has gotten the permission to do something else. Believe me I have an entire folder of permissions. Some even come from other designers who I've made a one on one agreemenst with. Of course you wouldn't know that and as far as most of us are concerned, you don't have a damn reason to know who we have an agreement from or what resources we've gotten permission to use. So until you know for a fact that any of what you've complained about is actually the correct facts, it would probably behoove you to get your facts straight before trying to muddy a designer's good name and believe me as a friend of Babettes she has always had a good reputation whether you care for her designs or not and you trying to muddy that in any case isn't going to run her out of business that's for darn sure. LOL usually when someone goes on and on about a designer here, others wind up knowing it's just jealousy or idiocy talking. I mean why would one go on about a designer when their facts aren't even correct if they don't have some kind of bone to pick with that designer. Why don't you put your big girl pants on and take it up with her directly. Oh yeah right you don't have the balls to do that so it's easier to come here and spout off.
To the multi ribbon debate - a lot of people are not interested in re-colouring.
I don't care if there are 20 ribbons in the kits - I like that if I need a blue ribbon and I do a search in my five year old stash, it's like going to the craft shop.
Hell, you aren't paying that much for the kit anyway - just delete them if you don't want them. You still come out ahead.

^^^^^^^
Exactly. When I buy a kit, it's either because I have a specific photo/collection of photos/purpose in mind. Frankly, I can tell a lot of what's CU and what's not. ESPECIALLY re: ribbons/bows. As far as flowers, etc - designers should have enough sense to make them unique. Ribbons are harder to "dress up". And plus - there are only so many ways to fold, tie, manipulate ribbon. So long as a designer isn't using the same buttons/ribbons in back-to-back releases, frankly, I don't care.
Either way. You're paying $3-7 for a kit that a designer has spent a lot of time and effort on. If you don't like it, find one you do.
Yo! Barb Speck! Sure sounds like YOU stickin' up for your buddy Babsy there. What a pair.

I really hate the delete it if you don't like it argument. I bet most of you who use that argument do not throw things away from multi packs if you bought them in real life. I can just best that if you bought a multi pack of say, panties, and there were some colors you didn't like, I bet you wouldn't throw those ones away, would you?

It didn't sound exaclty like her at all. She doesn't use vernacular expresions like 'having the balls' and 'big girl panties'. Besides, she always signs her name. Unlike me and you, she doesn't hid behind the shield of anonymity.

Yes I have a thought - the thought is why on earth do I need to be logged in to see it?
^^^
You don't? I can see it and I'm not logged in.
That's strange - I can see them now. Nothing exciting there, though I have to admit the ridiculous packaging they are being forced to use starts them off at quite a disadvantage.
HAHAHA! Vernacular expressions, huh? Well, THAT is the funniest things I've heard yet. Know it all Barb would never talk like that at DST. Here? oh yeah. get real.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I wouldn't touch those kits at MooTwo with a ten foot pole. That mint colored one...hmm. Lovely. But then, what else can you expect from a store like that? They aren't even original enough to come up with an original contest, they can't even come up with an original storefront - its a direct copy of the MissBeehaven store.

^^^^^^^^^^
I'm talking about ribbons here. In a kit of 12-24 papers; 24-50+ elements - you're seriously going to get your panties in a twist about a couple of CU ribbons? How is a couple CU items a kit mostly made of CU. The re-packagers-re-assemblers do themselves a disservice. I can only think of a couple designers I like that I can't tell if they use CU. CU is a tool to be used, but not abused. Do basic recolors and it'll bite you in the backside. Use it as a tool, and I have no problem with it.

They're new. And no CU was allowed. That being said, the only want that doesn't make me totally cringe is this one:

HAHAHA! Vernacular expressions, huh? Well, THAT is the funniest things I've heard yet. Know it all Barb would never talk like that at DST. Here? oh yeah. get real.
ROFL Well it's know it all Barb here and I suppose at some point I could consider you a big asshole just because, so yes I can use that kind of language on occasion, but over all I do try and show respect for my fellow designers and customers and not say inane things about them on a anonymous blog. I was sort of raised with the "if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all philosophy. But if I need to say something I don't have to hind behind an anonymous name like the majority of you do.
But once again, thanks for thinking of me cause every time my name is mentioned here my business goes up! I just had 5 more poeople join my FB page. ROFL So keep it coming. It's nice of you do to that for me. I really could care less if you consider me to be a sub par designer. Obvioulsy you're pissed off about something but my customers opinions are what counts in this world and I have too many things going on to come here often and read about myself.
and oh by the way. I don't need to stand up for
Babette. She's pretty good about standing up for herself. She probably hasn't come here because unlike myself I've yet to learn to just ignore people like you and keep my mouth shut. Maybe one day in my old age I will but I'm kind of like an old dog that you can't teach new tricks to. At least I don't have ulcers cause I get things off my chest. That's me know it all Barb and not ashamed of it!!! ROFL
Oh by the way my name is showing anonymous because for some reason I can't think of my google account password!! Now ain't that a kick in the pants.
sorry for the typos. Yes I know I made them so the spelling police need not reply!
***** told you it was Barb.
***** told you it was Barb.
LOL what didn't you get? I didn't post here prior to my one and only post so you don't get the gold star-sorry!! Obviously there are others out there that also say it like it is and don't like seeing good designers names run through the mud. As I think I said I don't need to speak for Babette as she can do a fine job of speaking for herself. Obviously she has chosen not give the posters more fuel for their inane fire. Personal attacks only go to show that there is usually something behind the attacks which is usually someone having a bone to pick with that named designer because honestly, why would someone come here and just jaw. So believe what you want to believe but I rarely see anything worth posting about except when it's my name being battered around. Then I like to set the record straight. Now I'm of to do what I like and that's give my customers some new kits!! ROFL
That makes no sense. The only people who notice inferior work are the people who don't like someone? How does that work? Does that mean that only people that like someone purchase the items they could get for free on the photobrush site (horses)? So get dumb people to like you and they will purchase items you got for free..smart business tactic, maybe we should all try that
It's always the same excuse, I had special permission (which you forgot to put in your description) or I got them someplace else. blah, blah,blah, the facts speak for themselves. a copy is a copy is a copy.
Has anyone found a kit using a Barb's cu item/overlay/anything?
I don't even download her freebies, they are ugly as hell!
and just what don't YOU get Barb-O? Just because we can tell its you, it bothers you? Still forgetting your google password, are you? or just wishing to remain anonymous so you can always say it wasn't you saying those naughty naughty words? Lord , woman. Get a grip.
I don't think Barb's stuff is ugly ... I think it's just not my taste. But, I do realize that there are some people who would like her type of stuff. Barb is a lot older than me and probably older than most of the designers in this industry, therefore she has a different more classic style. And there are scrappers who will appreciate her style. I could totally see my mom loving her stuff. I guess it's the same with any designer, some will like it, some won't ... it's just a matter of opinion. If you don't like her stuff, then don't buy it ... go buy what you do like.
Ugly, beautiful, lame, cutsie, etc. Those are very rarely factual, but just perceived. What i find cute, you might find ugly. A color scheme i dislike, might seem original and interesting for you. Talk about missing pixels, that is fact and you can qualify it in a way that others can agree. But your opinion can never be shared by everyone. If a designer REALLY creates stuff that the majority of people find ugly, i would guess she would not last long but if she still manages to find her niche, well, good for her. I dont have to like everything done by every designer (and it is a good thing too), just like everyone will not like my stuff, my layouts, my ideas. To each their own.
If she has a birthday sale, what would it be? 67% off?
^^^^^^^^
Exactly, to each their own. Saying someone sells bad quality is one thing, but just because you don't like it and think it's ugly doesn't mean you should bash the person.
I mean, honestly, there are some designers that are considered to be top notch, cream of the crop, whatever you want to call them and I don't like their stuff, just not my cup of tea. Flergs, Mgl, Lorie Davidson .. they just aren't my thing, but yet I love Ellie Lash .. i like the cuteness of her stuff, that's what i prefer.
i think barf, i mean barb, speck posts here only because she's narcissistic and loves seeing people talk about her. she has fb fans? everyone loves a train wreck!

No twisted panties here. I'm giving up though because you just don't get the point, at all.
^^^^^^^^^^
Yup, I get the point. You want to pay $3-5 (assuming you grab it on sale - or even $1 if you shop at "those" stores that offer $1 sales), but you expect the designer to pump out new products every week, using entirely her own creations, no CU, all hand done, no inspiration from other sources (rolled paper flowers anyone?), and for every single item she/he ever uses to be 100% unique just for you.
^^^
No, I don't. See, I told you you didn't get the point. You made a lot of assumptions there. I never once said I expexted to pay $3 to $5, I never once said the kits had to b e completely CU free, I never once said the designer had to pump out new kits every week.
To repeat, so you understand, I didn't say any of those things. Not sure where the hell you got that from, you own little mind perhaps?
All I ever said was that I didn't think getting the same damn ribbon in 20 kits was acceptable.
That is all!
PS: I hate those hand rolled flowers, they are one of the ugliest things to hit digi since I don't know what.
Not sure where the hell you got that from, you own little mind perhaps?
^^^^^^^
Nope - just from posts here. Frankly, I don't know, nor do I care who writes what. So to be honest, anonymous person A blends into anonymous person B, etc etc etc.
I get the gripe about the ribbon. If the repeat ribbons is your only gripe, sure - I'm with you there. If your gripe is about CU in general, I disagree. But as far as ribbons - as much as I see your annoyance, but once for kicks, I tried extracting ribbon and honestly, it's annoying. Not hard, but annoying to do. I can see why designers buy ribbons/strings/etc. Not excusing the behavior - just saying I get it.
On a new subject....I see good old Royanna is having another Buy My Store at DSW.

hmmmm. DSO is shutting down, but keeping the forum and gallery, huh? ok - I heard Secret City is going down, too.
I wonder what is the basic cause for all those closures. Is it really a matter of economy? oversaturation? copyright/TOU issues? shift in interest in a hobby that is taking a different path? too much work for those who didn't think it through? too little pay off, for how much effort needs to be put in?
I know it can be a combo, but with so many closing store, selling their store, stepping down from management, etc. there might be somethng there?
^^^^^
Too little money to be made. Why would stay in business if you're not making anything substantial? The bottom line is always about the money.
Yeah - money. Either you are making it, or you're not...too much involved to do it for peanuts. The writing on the wall was there when Bunny Cates closed "DigiScrapVault". Alot of that at the time was due to Redju going exlusive at SBG (funny, you never hear a word from Redju anymore, either - and she is one of the quality CU designers. SAD), but when they closed it up last month, I watched for this to happen, too. Funny - not a word about it from KimB.

I found this:
Under federal statute 18 USC section 471, if you're found guilty
of making copies "in the likeness and similitude of US currency ...
unless they are much larger or much smaller than US currency" (a
minimum of 50 percent larger or 25 percent smaller) or unless they are
"rendered in black and white," you face up to 15 years in jail

It's classic and won't date, unlike all the trendy stuff. I like it. Good thing we all have different tastes.
I don't think there is any big conspiracy afoot in the industry with regard to shops closing. My bet would be it boils down to simple economics. Owning a shop is challenging and requires a lot of time, energy and money.
We are five years in after the big explosion of digiscrap. Heck, I was just looking through my old stash recently and could not believe the names of incredibly talented designers that are nowhere to be seen. Some have gone on to other careers in the paper world, but most just disappeared. Good designers with work that still holds up.
I imagine after the cleansing will come a rebirth.

I hope so.

Royanna's back and she's doing another "buy my store" promotion. I saw that one coming.
http://www.digiscrapwarehouse.com/xcart/commercial-use-product/royanna_buymystore.html
What makes me sad are the number of people who get taken in by her each time.
Well, maybe those buying her store are not that bad off. I bought it twice, one year apart. It turns out to be a good deal, even if only to get the stuff from the 12 previous months (as long as you like her style). We see it often, granted, but not everyone purchases it every time.
I won't buy anything from her again because I refuse to support her.
I bought her store when they were forclosing on her house - it was $25.00 then. What a bunch of crap - OMG. And a waste of $25.00. Never again.
LOL - yeah, I got took on the house foreclosure deal, too. The only half way decent thing on that one was, is that Wetfish Designs would give you a coupon for her store, too. I got more out of that part of the deal.
Speaking of that - whats up with Wetfish Designs anymore? I know she is still around, selling at DD and DSW, but wasn't she partners with Royanna? or was that just co-founder...
