Did anybody mention price stickers with super glue adhesives, especially on 2 sided papers.

Oh, that is awful!
My peeve is paper that is not 12x12 after I remove the branding strip.

Those super sticky labels are on album covers, too. Hate them!
Also peeved with page protectors that barely hold a 12x12 page, let alone a second one behind it and embellishments or layers.

This is why I don't use patterned paper as the main page anymore - I prefer solids (black and dark grays), and then use patterned paper as mats for photos. (That, and I've found that I really, really like uniformity and symmetrical layouts. I swear I'm not insane.  ) |

My pet peeve is people who give thumbs down on YouTube scrapbook process videos. Why would anyone do that to a regular Connie crafter who is doing their best to showcase their process? I think it's just mean. Seriously, if it's not to your liking, move on!!
It really bothers me when someone has maybe 19 likes and 1 thumbs down.

I just bought some papers in a multi pack from a craft destash and one of the papers has a price sticker on it, not on the border along the bottom...nope on the bottom of the pattern and in the middle  |

The person was making cards with a kit she received. I thought that maybe the thumbs down was for the Kit itself, not necessarily the work she was doing. |

Well I’ll be the dissenter here.....
I don’t make video content so maybe I am missing something but 19 like to one dislike is still heavily tilted in the like direction
Why not just think-“ oh well - can’t please everyone” and move on
Why does it cause so much angst?
Not trying to be snarky but as I viewer I can scroll on ,why can’t the producer just scroll on as well?

I did read something about the thumbs up or down ,its for YT to know if you want to see more videos like the one you are watching or not.
Not sure if its true or not.
I still don't give out thumbs down.
I use papers from Michaels and the 110lb cardstock is just a tiny bit bigger so my folded card never looks neat and have to trim it or measure before I cut it. Its really annoying.

Its really annoying. I don’t do thumbs up or down as a usual thing. I’d rather choose my own content than have YouTube choose/suggest it for me. You tube is not going to know what mood I’m in today by knowing what I watched in the past. Maybe today I need puppy videos. Maybe last week I wanted Re- org videos or room tours. I don’t think I’m ‘that’ predictable. But either way I’m way more likely to do a thumbs up, I can’t remember ever giving a thumbs down for real. It’s more like shut it off and make sure I didn’t accidentally subscribe with my fat thumb. |

I don't like the "thumbs", if you have an opinion you care about, post it in the comment section.

My pet peeve is manufacturers encasing items in packaging that's TOO protective. I don't want wrinkled ephemera, but I don't want it entombed in plastic so thick it takes a buzz saw to open. Or colored pencils you practically break in three getting out of their packaging. And what's with all the extra packaging? Protect my product, but do so responsibly.

Thumbs down is an option. It can mean I don’t like your video (that’s the chance you take when you put your video into the public) or its to tell You Tube not to show you videos like that. I really wish people would get over the hurt feelings too.

I go crazy trying to slide things in and out of those clear plastic packages closed by a flap with a sticky strip. I guess I should just leave them out of the packages or put them in Ziplok bags or something. You start sliding the embellishments or Thickers or whatever back in and the sticky part grabs them. Aargh! Sometimes I just cut the flap off, but with stuff like the Tim Holtz ephemera, you have to seal them up or risk having little Air Mail tags and antique pointing fingers fall all over your floor.

My peeves include: - 12x12 papers that don't measure 12x12" (especially those that aren't even square!) - Thickers advertised as "letter stickers," but don't stick - Products with factual/spelling/printing errors ETA: I go crazy trying to slide things in and out of those clear plastic packages closed by a flap with a sticky strip.

Consider putting a ruler over the sticky strip before sliding papers/products in/out of the packaging, then remove the ruler to reseal. HTH. |

I wish more people would realize that with allllllll the negativity we're all dealing with right now, it is SO petty, mean, and self-centered to take the effort to UNLIKE a video !!! ugh, mikklynn--i'd forgotten about those perforated tabs on paper....just NO !!! |

I totally agree about unliking a video that someone put out there...some things about a video may bother me, like when all you see is hands pointing to things...but unliking it? Heck no, that is just mean. That having been said, I have a minor pet peeve that I'm probably alone in being peeved by...but I'll put it out there. WHY, when people do perfectly nice layouts/pocket pages (DT ladies I am looking at you) do they have to artfully arrange supplies around it in the photo? That distracts from their work IMHO. Just photograph the layout and let it stand on it's own. |

amp - Totally agree! I think it detracts from the focus, which should be the layout.
