I totally subscribed. I'm having MAJOR FOMO now. I was doing my stamps this month and one of the projects for my small stamps included all of my LP stamps. I am only missing 3 months (2 now since I just bought August) and I'll be scooping up a bunch of stuff on Friday...the LP kits for June and July if I can get them.

God damnit. I loved the past few kits and was so excited about Geralyn designing them. I am super bummed, I finally found a kit I really enjoyed and one that had good customer service.
Any suggestions on where to turn? I tried CD, but it is just too pastel for me.
Flibbity jibbit. I am super sad about this.

I've been wondering what has been going on there. Sneaks stopped almost completely, website wasn't being updated, shipping started later....
I've been loving the travelers notebook kits and I'm really disappointed to hear this news.

I thought for sure they'd make it to the end of the year. Wow. And such a sudden announcement too. Just a week before the final subscription month ends.
That's two kit suppliers gone this month (including Messy Box by ABM).

I actually unsubscribed a week ago! Not because I didn't like it... I just didn't like it enough to not let kits pile up.
Still sad to see them go.

Sad to see them go because the CS was always great. Ugh the market is shrinking!

People who are saying they saw it coming - what were the signs?
I thought their kits had suddenly got really really good with the introduction of Geralyn Sy. Thought they were looking the best they had in years.
What a shame.

I'm super sad about this. I had figured something was up because of the past couple months and communication/website issues, but it still sucks to see it in writing. I loved those kits - totally my style and even more so the past few months. I was getting 3 of them and now there are NO goodies coming this month for me.  |

I am not surprised. Sad? Yes. But not surprised. This is me. I knew something was amiss a few months ago when the current kits were being put on $10 sales at the end of the month. You don't do that if you're finances are fluid. |

This makes me sad. I was not a current subscriber but had been many times in the past. I was very tempted by their most recent PL kit and really liked the new style direction.

You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

I am super sad. I have been with them from the beginning and was loving their exclusives especially the enamels. I think I will try working from my stash for awhile till I decide what to do.  |

The more I think about this, the more sad I become. The last few month's kits were beautiful...I considered rejoining but May's was so over the top pink that the scarce sneaks scared me away from doing that just in case there was another month like that. I had been absolutely loving the chipboards (I missed those after she dabbled in custom PL kits last summer) and was hoping that I was really wrong. I joined in July 2013 when the Life Pages kit was announced and had been a subscriber up until April when my husband changed jobs. I am just so sad. The writing was on the wall for Scraptastic and my speculation there was more curiosity than caring, but seeing the same thing happen (just not as many months of the kits being delayed) to a company that I love so much hurts. It is really starting to sink in and it sucks. I'm really going to miss Gossamer Blue as they are the company I held the longest subscription with. The announcement coming on the heels of me reminiscing about their kits this week just makes it that much worse.

Thought they were looking the best they had in years. What a shame. I don't subscribe or keep up with gossamer blue. So just from threads here. I know the $10 current kit sales at the end of the month or beginning of the following was a BIG one. |

This is really sad I liked their kits. I never subscribed but I bought their warehouse box and was pleasantly surprised. |

I wonder if the month-to-month subscriptions shot them in the foot. Maybe it was too easy to join, get a discount, then leave, only to do it again the next month. It's probably really tough to plan for the right number of kits to order with an unpredictable customer base.

oh that's just a shame nicolep you are the reason I tried GB in the first place when you posted that navy and kelly green sneak in March! I just subbed so I can get the August PL kit as one last hurrah. |

My August kit has shipped...sad and excited at the same time. I'm looking forward to filling out the missing kits (if I can) on Friday, but also sad that I know it will probably be my last order with her unless she does more warehouse boxes (if she does and they are the most recent 3 months June/July/August, I will buy one and be more than happy with duplicates). I went to look at what I might end up wanting to buy during the sale and didn't realize that the planner kit died after 2 months.

Thought they were looking the best they had in years. What a shame. I saw it when she started offering same month kits for what? $10 or something? And going all exclusive was another sign that things weren't great, IMHO. I wasn't thrilled with the offerings since she went all exclusive. I felt like everything looked the same. Also? Wasn't people discussing they weren't giving sneaks like they should and kits weren't always shipped at the right time? (I could be completely off on this part...but I think it was GB that was doing this). |

This is so sad! I only bought a kit here and there but i've always liked all of their kits. I especially love their versions of december daily bundle. It's too bad now there is one less option for december daily.
