All I think of when I hear of CZ is "so there." That was Stacey Julian, wasn’t it? Sorry about that. Both were Simple Scrapbook magazine famous, so I tend to lump them together.

I don’t think her parents are still supporting, but if her education was paid for with no student loans and possibly support when she was getting started would help a lot to be free to spend on travel. I don’t see that she has things like sponsored posts so I don’t know that social media is funding her. Maybe she’s got a trust fund, who knows? For a documenter her private life is amazingly private. I can’t with Cathy Z. She just rubs me the wrong way. I cannot bring myself to support her brand and give her my $. Cathy Z is just not my style. It might take me a while to find another designer I like as equally as KP. As much as I disliked the business side of KP, I adored the designer and no one comes close to her that I can think of. I will most definitely miss her monthly main kits and stamps, but it will also force me to find various ways to use what I have without buying more. I can also always create my own cards if I run out as her designs were very clean type and color.

Add me to the lost of sad but not terribly surprised people with KP'S news. My wallet will be happy when she closes up shop. I need to figure out which of her stuff to get when the shop opens tomorrow. Yep, I'm freezing for 2020 so this is going to help immensely.

I'm sad to read about Kelly's decision and selfishly I just wish that I knew what happens next..... both for Kelly and others ... like LLP.
On the flip side, this is going to force me to use what I have as I don't have a strong desire to buy others products. So that's a good thing.

Call me negative but I wonder if KP got tired of all of the real life stuff that comes with running a business ie. customer service that would have been impending on her carefree, travelling lifestyle.
She appeared to stop scrapbooking so I think she just wanted to make money and when people started complaining about shipping and spelling mistakes and she actually had to start dealing with customers, she didn’t like it.
Add me to the people who are disappointed but not surprised. I hope this gap in the market will encourage someone to start producing physical product. I would love to see IACB run her own shop.

The TN kit sold out before I could pay for it. 😭
I'd love to buy it from any subbers who don't want it.

They're both sold out. It's weird how she never even previewed the TN kit. What an odd release.

Well, I stocked up on alphabet stickers, but didn’t get anything else. I was kind of disappointed there were no more swag bags, I might have picked up one of those on sale. I do love her alphabets though, so I was super happy there were so many available. Since I never got my alpha grab bag, I am hoping that all the alphas I ordered arrive safe and sound.

She may have pulled the Swag Bags from the site so that the huge discount wouldn't apply. They may certainly re-appear after the sale ends.

Were there label stickers available? I love hers. I do have the moral dilemma, though. I have an open claim against her shop for my missing order, but I need more label stickers before I can’t get them anymore.

I liked that her style had pop-culture references but only bought a couple of kits over the years because I'm not much of a stamper. Sad to see her go. Interesting that FYC said Brandi Kindcaid is done designing for them too. I will be really sad if FYC goes away. I hope we don't lose all of our Indie shops. I can only take so much AC on my pages and I'm over AE right now.

Me too. It is nice that you could use the stamps for a vacation or any day off that you have.

I only got a stamp set (in addition to my PL sub). I ended up paying via Paypal...in case I have to open a dispute about bundled shipping. Is that sad?

I can only take so much AC on my pages and I'm over AE right now. Pretty sure that Brandi is just moving on to other projects. She’s been doing a lot of designing for other companies, I believe. No sign that FYC is going away.

I'll check back in January and February to see if I like anything if it doesn't sell out as fast as the main kit and TN kit sold out today. I didn't want anything from the Flash Sale.

I picked up a couple of stamps and some alphas. I love her alphas and will miss those. 40% off was hard to pass up!

I think it was mutual. I did notice that Brandi’s kits tended to not sell out, whereas Geralyn’s did. Although I like Brandi’s colorful style, her illustrations aren’t for everyone.

Agreed Brandi seems like one of the kindest people in the industry but her style just isn’t for me. I purchased one of her grab bags in the FYC sale but I could have lived without it.

I am such a sucker. I just placed an order. I needed labels before I couldn’t get them anymore, and then some stamps jumped into my cart. I hope I get my order this time, and I don’t need to deal with a Paypal claim.
