All things Becky15 Higgins/beggy Higgins

Did anyone see BP's IG post? It was about getting to the airport gate 12 min before her flight was to take off (who does that?!). Anyways it was about being mad in the moment and angry and blah blah blah. The final piece was letting go.

The way she worded it, I am wondering if it was directed to BH. ?

Or maybe throwing shade to us SCRAPBOOKERS? LOL Let it go. Let it go. All of Becky Higgins wack a doodle shit. Let it go. ? I mean who wants to be constipated? LOL

I doubt she has that many people who religiously (pun intended) follow her. It's kind of like the LDS church. They say they have 16 million members, but what they don't specify is the active number of members. Huge difference.

Totally agree. My husband and I were both born and raised Mormons and were completely believing and active until our mid-thirties, but never did I “submit” to him or ever felt I needed to (submitting to male Mormon leadership is another story). We’ve always been pretty equal partners, in and out of the church.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s had some sort of mental breakdown or was close enough to it that her husband had to intervene. It happened to me when I was trying to play Perfect Mormon Mommy, and I wasn’t trying to keep my brand afloat as well. In my case I ended up leaving Mormonism, and while that didn’t make my life perfect it did improve the quality of my life and mental health immensely. I can’t see BH going down the same path though, at least not publicly.

This is very interesting to me. I checked IG and can also see when she was last active (bc I have messaged her before), and it currently says she was active 25 minutes ago. 😳 Clearly she is still around, just choosing not to post.

How does that saying go? “Dance with the one who brought you?”

I feel like scrapbookers made her who she is in terms of her career today; however, when occasionally a customer would ask about the shirt she was wearing or earrings, etc. she thought *everyone* was interested in something different then the REAL product she offered. Unfortunately, she branched out in that direction instead of sticking with her bread and butter. It’s too bad she doesn’t realize this. Her products, marketing, ease of use, etc. have all been excellent and highly regarded in the industry. If she would have just stuck with her scrapbooking items, she could have continued to flourish.

I don’t think PL will cease to exist. BH branded PL may end, but scrapping in pocket pages is here to stay. Like all things scrapbooking, there are trends that wane as others rise (planners, travelers notebooks). They don’t die. Multiple photos on a two page spread is the staple of probably 95% of the scrappers at every crop I go to. However, you’d think nobody scraps that way if you follow popular social media.

Bam! And that's how it's done folks.

You beat me to it, lol

I think her disappearance on Social Media is because AC has had it with her. She went to far on NSD. A company that is going to make a lot of money on that day will set up and take notice when one of their contracts acts up so badly. I think she burned her bridges with AC. I can see why they no longer want an association. I think they were slowly trying to phase out her brand and this was the final straw.

What I have noticed about Becky over the years, even when she was with CK is that her audience shading her does not really bother her. It seems to feed her. She likes it. I am not trying to be mean. She likes an audience. That is fine and that is her thing. For years nobody was really bothered by it. She likes to be the center of attention. She wasn't known in the industry for hurting anyone doing that. Least, I never heard anything. I could be way wrong.

When a company parts ways with her. OMG! She seems to take that really hard. She gets defensive, she gets quiet. That's why I think AC finally is done with her. I also think some of our scrap stars are fed up with her behavior too and cutting ties. You know they are not going to talk about it. They are just going to let it quietly phase out.

Becky's problem is that she thought she was a legend in this industry. There are a lot of legends in our industry. Next year there will be a new one. The legends fade and new ones become popular. This is an ambitious and cutthroat industry. Think about all our legends ten years ago when we talk about them our new girls say "WHO?" I think Becky was trying to reinvent our industry by this new "documenting" term. I think she believed she had enough clout and popularity it would become a thing. She's not Taylor Swift. We just don't "Shake it Off"

The term scrapbook is so broad and fits so many different styles now. I don't really scrapbook any more. I do digital scrapbooking. I am journaler. I put pictures in my journal. Still to this day I say scrapbook instead of journal. It's just habit.

If Becky wanted to document that is fine too. She overreached and got pushy about it. She could have done the thing where she was like I have grown and I look at scrapbooking as documenting history. I think of it as documenting because I don't traditional scrapbook any more but I evolved to Project Life, I evolved as a journaler. I think if she went this route then there would have been people who said "Oh, this is beautiful and I can relate." I think she could have had a little following. Instead she told us all to change our minds, follow her lead and she is right and we are stupid and very wrong.

I actually do like the word documenting. The way she did it was really screwed up. Now, just wait we will get a documenter that will make it popular.

Something funny to me is her calling it “documenting” like that’s some new, unique revelation. When SC cut ties with her, they changed their branded PL kit and called it the “Documenter” kit (and added square corners based on customer feedback). And that was several years ago. So BH is not the cutting edge guru she thinks, she’s (again) behind in the game.

I really think BH’s “documenting” now is writing stuff in one of her pricey notebooks.

Then there’s this speaking engagement to LDS influencers, solidifying Becky as a queen.

Does anyone know if she made it to this? Or did she bail on it since she’s on her media blackout?

LOL I was thinking this exact same thing.

Maybe I missed it but it doesn’t seem Becky has really defined ‘documenting’. Is she journaling? Writing notes? Doing albums with pictures and a few words of description? Guess what, Becky?  All of these are scrapbooks. It’s how they used to do it before embellishments were created. 

Wow, almost 2 weeks without a post! I think we should start taking bets as to what her 1st post back will be??

My guess is it will be on some life changing, earth shattering realization about her life where she's gonna spend less time on social media and more time living her best life! Cause the last x amount of weeks let her see things differently when she put down her phone and stepped away from social media and focused on her family......

Watch them roll out the basic account stats for increase in interaction due to daily presence in IG Stories.    Meanwhile, they'll blatantly ignore the backlash, drop in actual product sales and loss of identity for the PL/BH brand. 

And she’s back and can’t wait to tell us where she’s been. (insert eye roll)

And the fangirls have begun their sickening sweetness once again.
