Have you been annoyed by....

At first I liked your comment, but then decided no, I needed to reply. That just makes me mad! What a witch. Cutting layered 3D designs is hard! It is challenging to get them in the right order, and you have to do it just right to make it look good. I remember trying to help a friend with the Cricut Disney princesses because they have 100 layers and if you don't do them right the eyes look REALLY bad and the princess looks wonky. I am sorry someone was so rude to you. 

Thanks, but what are you supposed to do when that is the only LSS around and you really need background paper for your design.

Back when I did digital scrapbooking, you wouldn't believe the things I heard at crops: "That's not real scrapbooking!" "You're cheating." "There's no creativity involved."

One time I didn't bite my tongue and told a woman "my memories are being preserved, same as yours."

I miss scrapbook stores. At one point we had 8 in Central Ohio. Now we have zero. I loved going to them.

Actually, I would have been surprised if they had Prima. I always think of it as kind of niche. It is very girly/floral/vintage/precious and it is fairly hard to scrap with. It seems more useful to card making and paper crafts, not traditional scrapping. That being said, I did buy the Christmas line you mentioned, and the Halloween line. The papers were so pretty! I think it is going to be very challenging to scrap with, and most of it will probably sit in a pile and just be admired but it really is gorgeous.

Stores have to buy what the majority of their clientele wants and I think most scrappers left are the "old school" variety. A lot of very basic, very theme based scrapping. I used to wonder why a lot of scrapbook stores didn't have the stuff I wanted but then I realized I was very influenced by (then) magazines and (now) the internet and most of the people I met at the stores hadn't heard of the magazines, sites, and designers I followed. A lot hadn't heard of my favorite companies and couldn't tell one manufacturer from another. I was just more obsessed by everything about the business and I thought of it just as much as art as documenting memories.

I don't think 2peas scrappers are typical scrappers. We are a little more scrap obsessed.

I buy everything online now. I mainly buy from Scrapbook.com, and A Cherry on Top. Both have a wide selections and good customer service. I have also bought from other companies here and there.

Same here. My lss has been closed for several years now and I miss her ordering items for me.

Especially Bazzill cardstock. But she made me a great deal on her stock when she closed so I am set for at least the next decade. 🙂
