How long do you think before she discovers TikTok? I hope she busts out the giftwrap rolls when she attempts one of the basic bitch TikTok dance challenges. Never forget, friends ('tis the season, after all): Speechless. WTF??? |

That repeated surprise look I give my 5 month old while playing peek-a-boo has no place in a supposedly “professional” commercial |

Well, here we go again. She just announced version 3.2 for iOS. Still hoping for December for Android for 3.0. The developer is still working on it. Sure, Jan. We're in the holiday season now. It's not getting done before the end of the year.

Thank you for the review. I will not be clicking on it. This was the BEST!!!! I stepped away from the election for a moment to try and breathe, came over here and saw this video! Wiped the fear of a "he who must not be named" potential victory right out of my head for at least 2 min! Watch it, pretty please, I almost cried I laughed so hard. Would love to see her wrap BPF up in that paper, right over her mouth so she can't talk anymore.... |

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everrrrryone who is supplying some BH and BP snark tonight !!! (extra kudos for the hilarious makeup photos and the wrapping paper vid! I don't know if I can handle seeing it again, but I'm tempted!) We're starting to get nerrrrvous, watching the election coverage, and I NEED to think about something else right now !!!!!! Oh, how I WISH there were some Tracey Claiborne snark right now! I haven't checked in a lonnng time, but is her IG still private? I miss all the Cracker Barrell piks, and the attention-seeking posts like: "I won't post again until my life is Instagram-worthy!"  ..."Mike and I are going through the HARDEST, WORST thing everrrr.....(but I won't give any details, so you have to beg!) "I'm taking a long break from social media because.....blah blah blah"....Then she'd post an hour later etc. etc |

It's not getting done before the end of the year. I’ve pretty much stopped using the app because of frustration with the sporadic updates. You would think with physical PL being dead and digital being light years behind other digital offerings she would throw herself into the one product that is still somewhat relevant. I’ve also left the FB PL groups because I hate that anytime anyone expresses frustration about updates they get ganged up on. |

I need to remind myself to post the BH dancing video more often because I can't believe how many regulars hadn't seen it yet! It's a gem we analysed far too in depth when it was first released in 2016. Ah, the good ol' times of Becky going all out to announce her HOME by Becky Higgins collection and all the speculation on the board about the products she'd launch for that line (spoiler: she never launched anything besides stone wrap). Innocent days of yore, I tell you.  |

sleepingbooty ---I agree with what you said about posting it more often for those who've never seen it. Isn't it FUN to see their reactions? I didn't know about it back when it first came out, either. I think it was only late last year where I discovered this and the Tracie C threads. When I watched the wrapping paper vid, I just......no words! And then....omg....the DRESSES !!!!!! I can't keep up with allllll the stuff she shills---but is there an actual VIDEO of those Walmart dresses? I wonder if her endorsement sold a lot of them? There's 1:01 minutes of my life I'll never get back. All three times I watched it. WHAT IN THE WORLD?? Wow---I'm being completely transparent and intentional when I say you should get an award for watching THREE times! I have now finally watched it after many years of ignoring it. My 5 year old watched it with me and asked " why is that lady wasting paper like that?" An excellent question from your very intelligent 5-year-old !!!! Did you explain that wasting paper like that will help cultivate a happier, more intentional life?

BH was my inspiration as a new scrapper back in the early 2000s - I loved her sketches in CK and the sketch books as they came out - I still use the sketch books today. Her linear style was a good match for my scrapbooking. I remember reading an article she wrote about sorting photos and that's when I went through all my printed photos (pre-digital for me) and sorted them by decade and then year and then month and then into events. Perhaps I'm behind the times (there's really no perhaps about it, I am) but I think BH was the biggest influence on my scraping style and continues to be (not her now, but her back then) - I've changed my papers and manufacturers and left eyelets behind and added PL cards and so on but the core of my style is still influenced by her sketches. But it's been a long time since I've found her new content inspiring....I never jumped on the PL bandwagon or pocket pages and I don't want to go digital - I like paper and stickers, lol - and I don't need wrapping paper or iphone photography lessons (I don't have a phone) or a new dress (well - I might need a new dress but not that one, lol) ....I found this wayyy back on page one, and could have written *almost* every single word of your post! I've never read this ENTIRE thread, and now I want to see what I missed! I could have written *almost* every word of you post! I always enjoyed her lettering, layout style, etc. I still do! I "scraplifted" a few of her layouts, too. Back in 2002, I submitted a layout to CK using one of her sketches, and they published it. I admit it, I was thrilled !!!!!! I think I made a layout about it, including a copy of the check they sent me. I also submitted to a few of her lettering contests, but wasn't chosen. What I DON'T like are all the "influencer" (ugh, I HATE that word !!!) things, and the over-use of buzzwords like INTENTIONAL, CULTIVATE, TRANSPARENT, and "YOU GUYSSSS!" I don't want to be the kind of person who doesn't like change, but I truly MISS the days BEFORE Instagram !!!!! I miss the days when we'd get a new issue of CK in the mail and enjoy every page, every new idea. I miss the early 2000's so much! My friends and I had a fun joke that we "worshipped" Becky Higgins.....it was all in fun, and we'd bow down and chant "BH ! BH! " When I went to Creating Keepsakes University San Antonio in 2001, I was sooooo excited to have squeezed into one of BH's classes !!!!!!!!! I could not believe I actually got a much-coveted spot, because I'm pretty sure her classes filled up very quickly. When the day came for her class, imagine my disappointment when they announced she was ill and able to attend. I think I made a fun layout about how disappointed we all were, using her lettering styles, etc. Sheesh, I made an entire album about CKU and it is SO heavy and thick---lots of ephemera in that album !! I also met several peAple from two peas---that was sooo fun, too!!! We had a big welcome dinner at a great restaurant, and we were all marveling at how great it was to meet peas IRL, after only knowing eachother from a screen. I haven't looked at my CKU album in years, and writing this out makes me want to revisit it. Remember Rebecca Sower? I LOVED the layout we did in her class. Anna Griffin---ohhh, I loved (still love!) her papers! Also took a class from Lisa Bearnson, and I have to admit, I was so thrilled to meet her, too. I admit to being a silly fangirl, and it was just all so fun. I also took a FUN class with Stacy Julian---she was a hoot! Those were just some reallyyyy fun years !!! No instagram ! No buzzwords ! No one was trying to help you cultivate a transparent, intentional life! |

scrappintoee - I never went to CKC or took classes but I certainly remember Rebecca Sower, Anna Griffin (her papers were so elegant looking - I often found them hard to use - but beautiful) etc...Imiss the days of magazines and scrapbooking being a 'hot' hobby also.

I just want to clarify for those who aren't familiar....Creating Keepsakes "UNIVERSITY" was just a fun, 2 or 3-day event where we were taught by "professors" / scrapbook "celebs".... Ugh, I tried to edit my other post, but my laptop is being weird. Linda ....I still have some Anna Griffin paper, and others that were soooo gorgeous, I hated to put photos on them!  Back in those pre-Instagram lip gloss/ Movara resort/ life coaching/ be intentional/ etc. days----did you ever read the page-by-page reviews of the magazines that some peas would post? I LOVED looking at my new magazine while reading what others thought, it was really fun and I also learned a lot. Some peAple even commented on the ADS! I miss the early 2000s ! |

After YEARS of putting it off I watched the wrapping paper video. I have so much second hand embarrassment! Not to mention extreme annoyance at her for portraying women so stupidly and/or thinking anyone would think that was cute!!

Oh how I have missed this group and this hilarious thread! I have been staying away from the boards because I am trying to get my Teacher Pay Teacher store up and running. Lucky for my I only had to go back 10 pages to be all caught up. The make-up, the BP clarity coaching, the paper dance! Nice to have some silly fun this week.
I am posting this horrendous video here because of the paper dance. This "I'm in labor dance" is the cringiest thing I have ever seen. So be warned. It truly is a "Oh my eyes!" video.
It was good to read a few posts tonight. I am going to have to come back at least once a week. Have a good night everyone and thanks for the entertainment.

Thanks for the memories. I needed a laugh this morning and that wrapping paper video is still funny. I’m another one who loved Becky 20 years ago. Her Creative Companion book was one of my favorites for inspiration. After a while it’s like she quit trying. I went to a CKU and she was supposed to teach a class but called off sick. Ok, that’s valid, but the project she sent in was an 8x8 paper that looked like a tic tac toe board with different colored papers in the squares. That’s all we got and these classes weren’t cheap. And look at her now.

I went to a CKU and she was supposed to teach a class but called off sick. Same with mine! I had been SO excited to even get a spot in her class, so it was such a disappointment. Was this the CKU in San Antonio, either 2001 or 2002? If so, we may have met each other and/or been in the same classes. |
