Nope. But I also wasn't interested in the tshirts/mugs/cards that Ali sold for awhile either. If I want a t-shirt, I will go to a proper clothing store for one.

I went to a Creative Memories retreat/crop in 2008 and a huge storm blew in. We were in the mountains, trees down, lost power. No power meant limited cooking. No power meant no water for flushing or showers. No power meant no light to scrap by, so we used lanterns, headlamps and flashlights (which were thankfully on the list of recommended stuff to bring). Trees came down and the road was closed, so we were stuck. Etc, etc, etc. Sounds horrible right? But we still had a really fun time and laugh about it. Anyway, I did buy the "I survived the CM crop of 2008" t-shirt. Other than that, No and don't plan to. What a story! I'd buy that shirt, too. |

It's not my thing so at this point I can't imagine ever buying anything.

Yes and no.
In this case no, that kind of thing is just not really in my wheelhouse. We are bombarded with celebrity merch and all types of collaborations and I am really super picky on buying into that kind of thing.
I will spend my money on things like books and classes though and if they release something that is super useful or a stamp set that I fall in love with I will buy those, things like mugs and tote bags though are just not my thing.

I had a gray shirt with AE's handwriting that said "capture life. create art." I purchased it from an LSS that was going out of business. I wore it until it got too many holes, including to a Tim Holtz class back in 2016, so that was ages ago! LOL, in my defense, I bought it before AE Design had been permanently tainted by the association with Inked.
I also had some scrapbooking themed tshirts from Michaels that I got for $5 - I mostly wore at crops, but I've gotten rid of most (all?) of them.

I used to have some cute pajamas with some sort of scrapbooking/crop design. I'd buy something like that, but nothing with a brand or person's name.
I also never buy anything that has a brand name like Calvin Klein prominently displayed, so it's not directed at crafters.

I wouldn't buy anything with the crafter's name on it.
I bought a Creating Keepsakes T-shirt at one event many, many years ago and loved that t-shirt but it wore out. But I can't think of anyone I'd buy merch from now. Maybe a Crop and Create mug but they're too small, if they came in 16 oz I'd consider it.

Depends on the item and the celebrity. Its kind of like a band t-shirt. If I love the band and love the shirt, then I might buy it. I have a Scrapbook Expo tee that is the most comfortable shirt ever - I wear it nearly every weekend at home.
Most of the scrapbook logo merch I own is because I won it as a prize, or it was part of a package. I have a pile of t-shirts from crops and events and I have a bunch of ceramic pins from events.

My bestie bought us both the Share Handmade Kindness tees and I have several other Scrapbook tees I love that I've purchased at Expos, etc. I mostly wear them when I go to a 5-day retreat twice a year or to the Expos but I also wear them around the house or out & about.
I probably wouldn't buy something with just the scrap celeb's name on it but I do love items with crafty sayings on them. I have several zipper pouches, tote bags, pins, etc that are all craft related too & I love them. If it's cute, I'll buy it!

Big Nope for me, although now that I think of it, I could really use a crafty apron with lots of pockets, etc. And I guess I wouldn’t mind if it had some kind of crafty saying, but not a celeb name. But the apron with have to be really great and not just a piece of cloth with a logo on it.  (Off to search for crafty aprons on Etsy ) |

Speaking of merch, Ali has a storyteller shirt for $52!! I could do a nice order at SB.com for that price.

No, I am not one to buy that kind of stuff from scrapbook "celebs" (I hate that term) . I don't fangirl, I appreciate the talent but I don't want a t-shirt or coffee mug or any merchandise with "celeb" logo info on it but also don't care or begrudge anyone that does.

I don't think anyone wants to wear a scrap-celeb's brand/name on them but I also can't think of anyone offering that (that I have seen). For reference Victoria's announcement looks like this: http://instagr.am/p/Cck3m_BO2kA It's not a particular style or message that speaks to me but I can see why people might want a mug or sticker with something like this on it. Similar to Shimelle's scrapbooking is my superpower shirt. Not my cup of tea but I don't blame her for offering it. Most of this stuff is print on demand so it's not as wasteful as it could be. I don't like seeing pointless branded crap going into landfills but I think the biggest bad guys there are big corporations and conferences. ETA: not sure why my link might not be showing up - at least it's not showing up for me, but I can click on it and see the post so idk |

No, but I can't think of anyone I have that kind of a relationship with though. Different strokes for different folks. I think some people have more of a relationship with YouTubers than I do.

I was just going to say I know CM used to have a bunch of logo crap....tell these influencers that they are right on trend....for 2003. Way back in the day when I was a CM Consultant, I had the CM Pajamas. Man, those things were comfy. |

I have crafty t-shirts and sweatshirts I’ve purchased at expos, crops, and retreats. Scrapbook Expo has THE softest, comfiest sweatshirts. I wear them to crops and on weekends, or when I’m crafting at home. I have enough totes/bags to pack my scrap room in, so don’t need more of that. If I liked the design and could use the item, I would consider it. I would NOT buy something just for a scrappy celeb’s logo or name. And definitely no more cups or small mugs. I can totally see VM’s fangirls getting mugs, because mugs are her thing.
I did buy Shimelle’s Scrapbooking is My Superpower shirt, and another of her more Disneyish designs, but I like graphic tees and liked the designs - nowhere do they reference Shimelle.
I doubt I will get any VM stuff - what I’ve seen of the design doesn’t appeal to me and the colors seem pretty muted.

I just saw Victoria's post, I think the design is cute but since I've never been a fan of the "like a boss" phrase I won't be purchasing it.

Probably not. Definitely not with a celeb's name on it.

I think it depends on what it says. If it has a cute crafty saying on it, I might. If it's just the company or person's name, probably not.

I saw Victoria Marie's announcement on fb that she'll have merch available soon. Stuff like t shirts, aprons, mugs, and stickers. I can't say that any of my hobby dollars would go towards that. I'd much rather buy scrapbook supplies. Lots of her followers posted positive comments, though. How about you? What? No, this is dumb. I want VM to do well but there's no world where I would need some scrapbooker's name on my coffee cup. |

I like the “Live to Craft” design. I would wear that, and hooray for a V-neck T!
None of the items contain her name.
