Stacy is still involved (or getting back involved) with scrapping, as she announced a partnership with Close to my Heart last summer at their convention. (I'm a consultant). They announced a new line called "Story by Stacy", which hasn't come out yet. And it looks like CTMH is a sponsor of the cruise. I'm not really sure where the partnership of Stacy and Tracie comes in...

Stacy showed her true colors with her “so there” drama. The spreadsheet keepers willl have to fill in the details because I couldn’t do it justice. Everytime I hear about Stacy I automatically think, “So there”. My memory is a bit foggy on the exact details but it had to do with a class Heidi Swapp had held. Some people hadn’t like the class for some reason and complained via email. Heidi forwarded the email to Stacy and Stacy made some snarky remarks about the customers ending with, “so, there”. Instead of hitting reply she hit reply all. Some recipients posted her response on the message boards. Again I don’t remember the exact details bit I do remember reading the email. It did not go over well.

It did not go over well. The class was a year long class and people paid a lot of money for it. I think the first few months were ok, at least there weren’t any vocal complaints, but I think a few months in things went to hell. People complained about the absolute lack of substance in the class, during the videos Heidi was disengaged and yawning and burping, people were really upset. Iirc Stacy actually came on two peas to address it and didn’t exactly help her cause. Does anyone remember if there was any resolution for the students? I don’t recall, I just remember how upset people were about the burping.

I took the class in question. No there was never a resolution. My take away was to never ever take a yearlong class like that from anyone especially Heidi Swapp. Love her style and innovation but damn the woman has the attention span of a baby gnat. The class definitely fizzled after her enthusiasm about the class had obviously waned...and the checks had cleared.
I love every class I've taken from Shimelle and sign up for most of them, but didn't even consider signing up for the annual option she now offers. I don't want to rely on someone else's commitment level. Shimelle also doesn't always post when promised. I need an out. If one class is lackluster or constantly delayed, I may skip the next one or two.

I've never heard this story. It really negatively impacts my perception of Stacy. Sorry to bring gruesome reality into this but by Stacy's standard, no one should complain about anything since there are daily horrifying real problems of children dying in Syria thanks to men and their bunker-buster bombs. ps - MSF/DWOB donation site: www.doctorswithoutborders.org/

Stacy's PR debacle can also be attributed to the misguided and thefty way Big Picture Classes was sold and allowed to not actually follow through with that whole "lifetime access" promise.
Turns out lifetime access doesn't mean your lifetime. It actually means lifetime of the owner's attention span. Who knew she and Tracie have such in common?

So I had to check out Tracie's Instagram feed - and 3 days ago she posted about being on the 'largest ship at sea' while posting a photo of the Allure of the Seas. Um....Allure is NOT the largest ship (or even the largest Royal Caribbean ship). I think its super weird that she is on a 'cruise and crop' and posted no photos with anyone but her family. Wait...what? That's the same cruise that LuLaRoe just had for all their retailers/mentors/coaches/sponsors/etc that sold enough last year. I thought LLR bought out all the rooms for their group. Surely Tracie doesn't sell LLR?

LuLaRoe is still in business with money to spend? I thought they were sued into oblivion for shady business practices? Off to google to keep up.

The Cruise n Crop with Tracie and Jen was aboard the Oasis of the Seas, not the Allure. It is the largest cruise ship today.
I think the scrappermance between Tracie and Crafty Jen is done. Jen has been replaced by The Reset Girl.
Tori Bissle has gotten a little stalkerish in her Tracie worship.

When you all said Stacy Julian I could only think of the other Stacy back in the day with the basset hounds. I get all these "stars" so confused. I can't remember the other Stacy's last name for the life of me. I think she was editor of Paper Crafts magazine? I heard she had some health issues in the past. She seemed really sweet. I am still wrapping my head around Heidi burping and yawning during a class. Keeping it classy, lol. I didn't think she was a type. She seems really prissy. I am prissy. That was meant as no offense. I love these threads. When I go shopping for products I have all these images now of the stars. Now Heidi will always be burping to me. Thanks a lot. I just bought the Minc, lol. I still love Heidi's designs. At this point I think American Crafts produces a bunch of lines and sticks names of stars on the lines. Oh look it's Amy Tangerine we will associate her with tigers. I love that tiger in her die cuts. There is Heidi we will make everything black and white. I do really love these threads. All of you have opened my eyes to how insane this industry is. Anybody going on the cruise just to be an agitator? ROFL! I am sure Tracie would looooove to see one of us on the cruise, lol.

I don't get that from her. I do understand why people were upset by her class in the past. She's been through a lot in the last couple of years. She lost a son to suicide.

So after this thread I went on an Instagram stalk. Tracie doesn’t promote scrapping very much on her Instagram it’s all selfies and food. I then searched the crop and cruise hashtag and there was no scrapping photos! Why?
I’ve been on the Facebook page and ummm it’s a bit of a clique... they all seem to Fawn over her but I don’t know why? There was a thread about getting in design teams and how they delete pictures in Instagram so it all stays to one colour scheme and works together 🤦♀️🤷♀️

F The idea of cruise and crop just baffles me anyway. Like, go on a cruise with your family - have a great time, relax. Come home and crop/scrap it. Memory making first, memory keeping second. I've always thought this too.... why would I spend hundreds/thousands to cruise and then waste it all sitting inside scrapping? However, there must be a niche because one of my favorite scrapbooking companies has VERY popular scrapbook cruises that sell out very quickly. To each his/her own, I guess!

I just saw this post. Is this the same crazy lady that needed a transplant or some other medical procedure and was asking (but not really asking) for donations?

She had a pacemaker implanted and yes, she acted like she didn't ask for donations, but hmmmm, she was constantly talking about the "button" that you could click on to donate easily...

Not to mention all that SB-ing stuff you have to lug around in addition to your normal suitcase. I'll be out making memories to scrap, not inside scrapping.

I can see the appeal of a scrapbook cruise. Based on this Cruise & Crop page, the classes are during the days at sea, you have full access to the crop room for the duration plus other cruise ship activities. The starting fares are pretty reasonable at $469 for a week long vacation. I just came back from a weekend retreat that cost a little over $300 which only included dinners and a couple of classes.

They aren’t bringing their fams along for a vacation. I would love to hear from people who went on this one. Why has everyone been so hush hush?

Well mom Tracie will be chasing this new lead all night long blocking random people 😂 It makes me laugh how much she proclaims not to care what anyone thinks but then strangely reacts to everything we post about here. So transparent. The "lady" doth protest too much. Hi Tracie

I don’t gamble, I don’t drink and I’m not into dancing/nightclubs so to have a crop to go do on the boring days at sea would be great for me. I would probably get a lot more done than I usually do at a regular retreat.

Seeing this thread back got me thinking about the whole double donation business. She got all the money from her followers plus the super expensive surgery in 1 year. Her taxes this year must be crazy! For those of you waiting for her comeuppance, maybe the huge IRS bill is a part of it hahaha
