Wasn't Becky editor of CK at the time The only editor I ever knew of was Lisa B. Becky was some kind of editor but not the main one at least by my recollection.

I never knew that scrapbooking warranted any news articles. It seriously baffles me that the LA Times wrote an article about anything to do with scrapbooking...I can't fathom it since scrapbooking has been shrinking the entire time I've been involved.

I really don't remember Tracy White ever being on SS, but I took a big scrapping hiatus, so I could have missed it. She was Editor-in Chief for Ck for a good 10 years. When I think of SS, I think Stacy Julian, Cathy Zielske, Donna Downey, Wendy Smedley, Aby Garvey, Angie Lucas, Jennafer Martin and Megan Hoeppner. When SS ended, I think Jennafer Martin and Megan Hoeppner went over to CK.

Megan Hoeppner still scrapbooks. I follow her in Facebook and she posts pages occasionally. It also sounds like she does classes for local people where she lives and I *think* she is on a local tv station weekly (she mentioned once or twice). She taught a class at CKC in Manchester I think it was 2 years ago? (I took). Boy I miss the CK classes at the CKC conventions. I really don't care for the classes that are being offered at the CK convention now.

There were so many rumors going around at that time. A lot of people thought Hall of Fame and Scrapbooker of the Year were rigged with the awards going to pre-chosen friends of the editors. People who entered the contests were furious since those were expensive contests to enter considering the amount of supplies that were needed. Some people estimated it was around $1000. I don’t know how how much the winners received. There was talk on message boards of reporting CK to authorities for fraud.

myboysnme I do remember now Lisa was main editor. I was always getting Lisa & Becky confused in their editing roles. moraie I forgot all about Tracy being Editor in Chief. I always loved Tracy's scrapbook books. I would check them out from the library constantly. I had my own copies. I wonder what she is doing now. I hope she didn't become scandalous. I swear every time I read celebrity gossip I get my heart broken learning about a new sex abuse scandal. I come over here get my heart broken somebody I admired has turned out to be whatever scandal they are picking this week. Tracy be good! artisticscrapper You jogged my memory with that fraud comment. I kind of remember the thread now because of the fraud allegations.

I 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 WebsiteMy LSS sells a lot of her dies. I think she even came for a weekend to demo (or someone from her business did). Yes, she does classes and demos. I'm sure it was her at your LSS.

but hands down the best was Bernadette. 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 had totally forgotten about her. I love this thread, it brings back so much fun. I liked the effer dares brought something different. Me too!

I miss scrapbooking magazines. Especially Simple Scrapbooks with Stacy Julian!! Me, too! I miss the formats of some of the magazines. I go to B&N every Saturday morning, sometimes for than once a week and the section of magazines that were once dominated by paper crafts has diminished. I used to change my subs around quite a bit as I did with kit clubs. That was very freeing. I felt like the inspiration held in ones hand was more exciting

Faye Morrow Bell!!! Loved her!! Always liked Lisa B's style.. I got all her QVC books and still use them for inspiration (that is when I do scrap)...
One gal that lived in Denver was always in the CK magazines and I scrapped with her once or twice at a LSS.. I think it was a Pea thing. Anyways, she totally disappeared and never knew what happened to her. Dang I wish I could remember her name. For at least a few years, she was published almost every month.
I also went to a day retreat where someone brought their Chatterbox album for the $10,000 contest... I think she was one of the finalists. It was totally a piece of art.
I followed a few sb people but wasn't obsessive about it. Heck I can't hardly remember names at this point in my life! Faye Morrow Bell name only came up cause someone else posted it! lol

I seem to recall pictures of a ton of products being sent to winners for the CK contests.It was so fun to see how much they won - boxes and boxes of stuff. I don't know if they won cash as well. someone brought their Chatterbox album for the $10,000 contest. This is quite vague, but didn't someone get their album stolen at CHA one year and it was a huge brouhaha? I still have a Chatterbox suitcase in my basement that I've been meaning to get rid of. I'm just going to donate it to Goodwill, I doubt I can sell it on Kijiji. I had the set of 3(?) of them but I have no idea what happened to the others. They didn't work well for crops I quickly learned - everything just fell to one side when you rolled the cart.

I miss the magazines. I know I can find inspiring layouts on the internet but it’s so much better when you can browse through a magazine and read artibcles as well. Even the ads were good so you got to check out what was new.

I remember the stolen album! I still can’t imagine how someone could do that. I pictured them ripping out the pictures and journaling and adding their own. How could they ever enjoy looking at it?

There were so many thefts at CHA and conventions it just boggles my mind. I agree, how could they possibly enjoy the albums knowing it was stolen? Scrapbooks are so personal, such a vile thing to do.

Who were the mother / daughter scrappers? Last name was Lakkokoman or something similar. I think at least one of them were HOF or Masters or something.

With all of the big contests there was such controversy. Sad, really. I remember so many were upset that CK did not continue with their last contest after so many sent in their entries. Then, the magazine closed. That was HUGE!

What a great thread! I've only gotten through the 1st page but will read the rest later when I have more time.
I've been scrapbooking since the late 90s and while some of the scrapbook celeb names sound familiar, I didn't get into that aspect of it. I was more about the manufacturer names like Bo Bunny, Graphics 45, and K&Co.
Scrapbooking isn't the hobby it once was which is probably why so many of the designers left. My personal opinion...the celebs who loved scrapbooking will probably eventually return to some degree, or are still active. Scrapbooking will always be a part of my life, no matter its current popularity, because I love it. I've often wished that one of my ancestors had kept a scrapbook. Maybe one of my descendants will be glad that I did.
