Jenni Bowlin-- Karen BurnistonI realize this is an August 2017 thread that has been bumped up but Karen Burniston hasn't left the Scrapbooking/Card Making world. She started her own company last year after ceasing to license her designs with Elizabeth Craft Designs and before that, she licensed her designs with Sizzix. I just MAY have gotten my SECOND order from her 4th release on Saturday... She finally redid a much easier and absolutely beautiful redo of the 3D popup 3 tier cake and released it February 1. I was one of the first to pre-order! I got the popup Palm tree Saturday. Karen Burniston's Website

Jenni Bowlin-- Karen Burniston I might be behind the times, but I thought Karen is designing dies for Sizzix and someone posted on this board about them. I also thought Nicole Hyman left Paperclipping Roundtable to teach Yoga. I realize that this is an older thread that was bumped but Karen hasn't designed dies for Sizzix for at least 4 years. She was with Elizabeth Craft Designs for 3 years and starting last year she has her own company. Her designs have just gotten better and better and even easier to assemble. They just have even more WOW factor! I've posted at least a couple of times about her new designs since she started her new company. Karen Burniston Website

That breaks my heart and makes me so furious too. I was on Peas in 2007 but I don't remember that thread. To be fair 2007 was a terrible year too. I would like to forget it, lol. Trust me that would have left a lasting impression on me. Sorry to all who are affronted that there are scrappers who are not white, blonde, certain religious affiliations. Didn't know this hobby was a cult and you have to be a certain way to scrapbook. Seriously, this industry acts like it has rules and profiling. I have thought this for several years. It needs to change. I have seen this narrow-minded bigotry in this industry for way too long. I am sorry she was scrap slut shamed. She sounds like she would have been part of my sister group.I have been scrapping since I was a kid. My scrapping style is street smart fashionista. I love my pages. My pages are class, sass and attitude. I wouldn't change it for the world. I know there are three sides to every story. I know a lot of you probably have more insider information about this. I am temperamental when I hear stories like this. Top of this we get stories of Dear Lizzy's husband slut shaming and Tracie using her religion and scrapbooking to scam. All of this just makes me want to throw money at this industry. Not really! I can see why we lost so many great scrap stars. Wonder what kind of bad stories they have to share behind the scenes that we never knew about. Rant over, lol. I want so much diversity in this industry. We have so many talents that hide because we do not fit the stereotypical role in this industry.

I don't really care about or miss professional scrapbookers. I do miss my friends and meeting up on Friday nights or Saturdays at a LSS. I second that!

This weekend I pulled a piece of paper from my stash by Rebecca Sower. That was a blast from the past!
I know for a fact that toward the end right after the Contes fiasco that the contest was rigged. One hall of famer mentored her best friend who in fact, also included a photo of herself that she claimed she took by setting up the shot and someone else pushed the button, and still won the following year. I told my friend who eventually made the Papercutz power team that the friend would win HOF way before the contest deadline occurred, just because I was watching this insider stuff go down. I knew both of them and the first one was a big name on 2peas so it got where you could tell who would win by their popularity on 2peas Publications board, 'the Pub.' Many of the regular posters there wouldn't lower their eyelids to look at posts on SBR. There was a real chasm at that time.
I'm glad those days are over. I like our board here quite a bit more.

My teenage son was recently filling me in on this YouTube drama he's been following, stuff like one YouTuber trying to pull scams and raise money for himself, other YouTubers calling him out on it, videos slamming each other, the nasty comments on the videos - and he asked me if I knew stuff like that was going on on the internet.
Well, when I filled him in on some of the Pea drama going back 10-15 years he was shocked! The CK contest drama, birdgate, all of the fights and squabbles and hand-slapping - he couldn't believe it. I mentioned how doxxing has been going on for many years on these sites. But then he's like "oh, so that's why the YouTubers hate middle-aged women online".
I just had to remind him that it's not all of us! There are nasty people in every age group, I guess it's just more surprising when it comes from Moms (or women in that age range).
Anyway, I miss the scrapbooker who's daughter's name was Chandler. I loved her work. Also Erin Terrell, her work was great, too.

I liked her, too. She got remarried and I think had another daughter long before 2Peas was shut down. I liked Erin Terrell, her work was amazing. I remember she got divorced, then remarried to a man named Chris (I think), and was Erin Terrell Clarkson ,and thankfully, continued scrapbooking...a couple years ago I saw her and her daughter on a beauty blog...I hope she is still scrapbooking. Oh, her daughter's name is Daisy, she was a cute little mini-mom. I vaguely remember birdgate...can you please refresh my memories? And I agree, there are mean people in every age group, sadly.

Adding to this nostalgia. Going through some old books that I was published in and kept and going through the names.
Greta Hammond Michelle Coleman Amy Peterman Gretchen McElveen Crystal Jeffrey Rieger Lisa Oglesby Tutman Courtney Walsh Maelynn Cheung (loved working with her in her Doodle Scrapbook Publication-she is a class act)
I was lucky enough to be on a few design teams with some really great scrapbookers as well. Hardest design team I was on was for SS. I quit after 4 months. Demands were crazy and always had to change my layout. (that is another rant) Favorite team was MM.
My favorite all time magazine was Scrapbook Answers. I still have every single issue. The publication did not last very long. I need to dig those out. They also came with a CD as well.
I am hoping for a revival of traditional scrapbooking. It is by far my favorite. But in either case, I know I will continue to play with pretty papers and glue.

Shelly Sullivan! Thank you! I forgot about her remarriage. Daisy Terrell was another cutie. I remember her mom remarried and then had a website for crafts, including beading. I think it's gone now, though. Birdgate involved Donna Downey stealing a purse design with a bird on it from Fossil, and using the same Fossil bird to create a stamp set for Unity Stamps as well. scrapbookobsession.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/donna-downey-and-the-tale-of-fossil-purse-birdgate/

I think she even came for a weekend to demo (or someone from her business did).

If I recall, she clearly used a photo taken by someone else which was against the rules of the contest. Other people had been disqualified over this rule, but not her. This is an important fact because CK was ultimately about scrapping but for some reason insisting that contest entrants be photographers as well. I guess that is because they didn't want to deal with copyright issues, but most people would want to include themselves on their layouts. It only makes sense. I thought the photography rule was stupid.

She used a photo taken while white water rafting and although it was incredibly obvious she didn’t take the photo herself she doubled down and had some just insane story about how she did take the photo using a remote and setting the camera up on the shore. I think it is posted in all its glory on the history board. It was nuts. I often wondered if they had to turn back their prizes. KC was talented, no doubt about it, but she certainly didn’t present herself as a very nice person.

(Well everyone did back in ‘07). The whole Kristina debacle was due to her attitude/drama on the boards, her blog, her interviews. She was talented. And Bernadette, claiming she had a tripod/remote shutter. Priceless.

Wow, I so forgot about these tidbits. Time is great at "forgetting" at least the trivial. I am sure it was not trivial to the ones involved. I remember reading about it, though.

The devastation will surely go on for many years to come, and this tragedy will not soon be forgotten."

Ah, yes. Hall of Fame gate. It’s kind of sad since CK never really recovered from those scandals.

LisaDV myboysnme @skellinton refugeepea Thank you I knew you all would remember & fill me in. I know, I know I get so ragey about this industry. I do know us 2 Peas girls are industry up insiders. We usually know all three sides to the story. 2Peas Girls never forget. That is our motto. What is sad is I can't remember this scandal, lol. I broke the motto. I do remember Birdgate. It sounds like several broke the rules. CK just let it go way too far. I am so shocked (saracastic). I have been thinking about this thread today. It makes me wonder if her attitude was a huge deterrent in the way this industry is not too welcoming to diverse scrappers. Dear industry diverse scrappers are amazing. Include us. We know how to follow rules. Hint, Hint American Crafts. Drop your scandal makers and hire new. I am telling you your company will go through the roof. I can assure you AC the majority of your sales profits are not from scrapbooking any more. I sure don't buy your products to put in my books. I really don't want to look at a line and remember that came from somebody with a horrible reputation or family member with a bad reputation. Wasn't Becky editor of CK at the time? I never gave a lot of thought to CK. I would buy my magazine and that was that. I was buying my magazine one day and two ladies were flipping through the magazine. I was so excited to see other scrapbooker's. I don't really see them in my area, lol. I overhead one lady tell her friend the editors of CK would ruin scrapbooking magazines and make them obsolete. Three months later CK ceased publication. That moment really stuck with me. I didn't realize CK had a lot of drama's and cliques. Should have paid attention more. I miss scrapbooking magazines!!!!! I noticed a lot of the names mentioned have gone more to stamping. I was just looking at Karen's things the other day. Didn't even think that she is not scrapbooking any more.
