Just read that llp is going to be designing for kp. I don't love the sneaks for llps stamp with kp, but she's one of my favorite designers so I'm glad I can pick up her designs without giving SC any cash! who is LLP? I am sure I should know this but I am drawing a blank. SaveSave

I really don’t get why she is going to be designing for KP. If I’m going to buy something from KP, I want it to be designed by KP or at least by designers under her instruction. LLP has her own style. I only want Kelly’s style from KP.

Why would KP and SC both agree to let LLP design for both of them? You'd think they would want exclusive designers. Hmmm. Interesting.

I know I'm in the minority, but I don't love her designs. They're just not my style. Looks like I might be dropping my KP sub. SaveSave

And I just checked out LLP's instagram and one of the stickers she designed for the KP kit is a steaming poop emoji that says "love stinks". I am so very over the poop emoji in general and I have a hard time imagining anyone using that sticker in any craft project. Do they really think that's what crafters want?

Weird about LLP, I agree. I wonder where Geralyn Sy is going to end up? I wish someone would snap her up!!!!
Totally off topic, but I have done something to this thread for my notifications. When I click on the participated notification button on top this thread doesn’t show up when there are new posts anymore. Other threads do, but I can’t figure out how to get that to happen for this thread. Anyone have any idea what I did or how to fix it?

LLP has her own style. I only want Kelly’s style from KP. I agree with this. I don't see LLP as being even in the same ballpark as KP's aesthetic. I can't really imagine/remember KP using Tina's designs in her own PL (which is how I think of KP's designs even though she posts in fits and starts). It doesn't feel like a good fit for me at all, even if they are personal friends. Maybe KP is shifting her business focus, maybe she's getting burned out on designing? I don't know... After reading what Skellinton said, Geralyn Sy actually feels like a better fit for KP's shop than LLP does. More font based, graphic, bold and simple. I like both Geralyn and Kelly's stuff, although I can't seem to actually use either one much in my books! Have no love for LLP myself... she's too freehand/scrawly/messy for my tastes.

I do the same thing and I feel the same way! I’m not as close as you are but it is nice to be reminded about Dundee days and such. Do you live in Omaha? GSG actually lives about 2 blocks from me. She posted a picture of a house on my street corner which clued me in that we are neighbors. Love living in Dundee and having so much within walking distance. No, I’m in Fremont but I work in Omaha. If I did live in Omaha, I would definitely be looking for a place in the Dundee area. I love it there!

As for LLP +KP, eh. Sometimes I love the LLP designs and sometimes I'm totally not into them. I like that she has guest designers on some months, but the sneak does not excite me.

Oh No! I think Tina's designs are hit or miss for me. I especially do not like her handwriting and I do not want it in my albums, whereas Kelly's is nice. I'll watch closely how much and what she is actually designing for KP.

I know at times kellypurkey has used guest designers to design one-off kits, while other times the guest designers have designed the main kit for the month. I tagged her, so maybe she can chime in to let us know if the LLP kit is the main sub kit or an additional one for the shop. 😀

I agree that Geralyn is a better match to KP, but I want Gerayln to work with a traditional kit. Her kits for GB were amazing.

No, I’m in Fremont but I work in Omaha. If I did live in Omaha, I would definitely be looking for a place in the Dundee area. I love it there! My MIL and her husband live in Fremont!  I currently live in Minnesota but lived in Omaha for years. I’m trying to figure it how to get us back there. We lived out by 192 & F. I love Omaha.

Same disappointment here with the LLP stuff, I like some of her designs, but I hate her handwriting and can’t bring myself to use anything with it on it. She definitely led to me canceling with studio calico (although the print quality was the number one reason).
I think KP typically has guest designers only do additional kits and not the main one. I believe her and Tina are friends so I’m guessing that’s why they have the collaboration. I wish she would collaborate with Geralyn who is basically my favorite designer, I just wish she had physical products of her own, I would buy them all! Lol. I also really like whenever Jamaica Makes creates something for KP, I hope she does that again soon.

I'm in the minority here, but I love LLP. Especially her funky handwriting. I don't buy things that are too even, too loopy, too fancy or Victorian. Too sweet for lack of a better word, Like Tracie Claiborne's handwriting. No thanks. To each her crafty own ETA I also love Jasmine's work lately. It's been a blend of her typical loopy style mixed with LLP.

I just whipped up my title page in 20 minutes using Ali’s monthly January kit and the SC summit kit I picked up for $4.50. The colours in both kits compliment each other nicely. Thought I’d post for anyone who wants to supplement their Ali kit this month.

I’m not really a fan of LLP, especially her sloppy handwriting. I feel like I might as well use my own handwriting and it would look better.
I like when Kelly collabs with Christine Herrin.

My MIL and her husband live in Fremont! Never even knew this place existed until I moved here. Being from Cali I only knew of Fremont, CA. But I do love this little town! So does she. They've lived there for almost 30 years, but other places in Nebraska the rest of her life. My husband only lived there until he graduated high school and then left as fast as he could. It's always cool seeing how small the world really can be.

Don't worry, I will design the main monthly kit and other stamp sets every month until the day I decide to burn the shop to the ground and start something new. Just making room for my good friend Tina to offer her products to my customers because I adore her work & want to support everything she does. I think her style and my style can be used together to make some awesome things.

It’s a really small world here in Fremont, especially compared to what I’m used to. Lol. Not sure how I would feel if I grew up here. Can’t blame your hubs for wanting to get out of here!
