A PR person / media wrangler would have solved 99% of these issues - but of course that would mean less attention, even if a lot of it is negative. BProudfit was supposed to fill that role but we see what a laughable bit that has been. My bad, should have specified; a good PR person / media wrangler would have vastly improved things. Someone already had the "trainwreck of entitledness" position covered.

She now has an Instagram post up about physical Project Life and how she’s not sad about it going away in stores. Oh but it will always be available on her site and Amazon. Yeah ok. She’s so selfish. Yeah I haven’t been able to find the vertical 5x7 PP insert in months so I’m calling BS on the “always.”

Becky said quite a while ago that there was no new manufacturing of physical project life products so I think once her online store and Amazon, etc. run out that is going to be it. I went ahead and stocked up on my most favorite page protectors.

If you are able to find Echo Park or WRMK's, they are a better than BH.

I've bought some of the Universal brand at Scrapbook.com and they are good too. I just stocked up on some of the specialty styles that only BH carried that I like and use often.

If you are able to find Echo Park or WRMK's, they are better than BH. I'm glad to know there are other options. I'm currently using BH's Design A ones and it's so frustrating that the sizes aren't true - I always have to trim a bit of the width off the 3x4s and the occasional 4x6. It kind of defeats the purpose of using the PL cards. I look forward to finding a different manufacturer.

Agreed on the scrapbook.com 12x12 protectors, but I want someone else to make the different ones...like the 5x7 or the 8x10 ones. I love adding those into my albums separate from the full spreads.

I'm sorry to bump this train wreck, guys. Trying to catch up, LOL. Is Becky Higgins discontinuing physical PL? I don't follow her anywhere and I tried searching but that didn't work.

But she no longer has a company to manufacturer any product, so yes it is discontinued for all intents and purposes.

American Crafts are no longer manufacturing physical PL. We don't know how definitive it is but it's definitive enough for BH to have to publicly acknowledge it on social media. There's still a lot of stuff in stock so it looks like trying to flog all the old stock now. Clearly, the PL products aren't moving the way they used to. BH also closed down her office. However, BH and her team are still in charge of the American Crafts Digital store (and it's a hawt, outdated mess). My guess is that AC and BH aren't completely done yet at this time. But there is no more manufacturing as Becky herself confirmed. No new albums, page protectors or kits.

If you can find what you want they are much cheaper at Tuesday Morning. But that’s quite an if - and at times if one is not close to you, the gas spent might negate the discount.
However I did need a certain page protector for my niece & I had no issues getting it from the website, they even had a coupon code.
Not counting on it going forward for sure but needed to finish something up.

What do we think it is? More ugly dresses? Notebooks? It’s certainly nothing scrapbooking related. 🤦🏻♀️ I need to unfollow Becky on FB.

"It's coming for you..." this sounds vaguely threatening. Whatever it is, I probably don't want or need it, esp since she made it clear that we should be self sufficient and scrapbooking without her.

It was NOT supply + demand it was pure stubbornness on the part of the business to not listen to customers& make appropriate changes. Plenty of people are STILL pocket scrapping & buying pocket scrapping kits, but BECKY decided it wasn’t how SHE wanted to sell her product. And BECKY insinuated that isn’t how we should scrap! Insinuating it was old fashioned & tiresome. The same way she slammed traditional scrapping when she brought out PL.
Well dear maybe I don’t want 8 or so of the same exact card. 3 Tops will do then move on & sell me something else.
My bet is that both traditional scrapping & pocket scrapping will outlast Ms Higgins business, without a major change/intervention/sale to someone with an ounce of business sense.
What ever the hell is in those boxes I doubt I want it. Unless it a super fantastic at home photo printer that the refills aren’t an arm & a leg. But even then I’d be hesitant to trust it.
Supply & demand my ass,

And I get so very tired of the continuous vaguebooking. You can’t actually think you will raise excitement for some mysterious thing no one was asking for that way, right?

Supply & demand my ass, I don't know why it bugs the crap out of me but it does, here she is as you say stubborn to provide what the people want but instead comes out with stupid shyte no one wants ie ugly dresses. She needs to take business classes.
I could give a rip what she is trying to shill now. She has a track record that it will probably be dumb.
Prove me wrong Becky! I dare you!

Is Becky selling any new products these days? At one point she had new PL kits, notebooks, wrapping paper, the ugly dress, plus a home collection, correct? If she’s not selling anything I think we can say she is a former, now unemployed, scrap celeb. Having a podcast does not mean she is relevant.

I thought she was in a "season" of not working or doing things business-related after her "anxiety attack?" All of her posting lately about how she gets creative fulfillment from being out of the business loop and decorating her house and going on vacations rings hollow when she continues to monetize just about every IG post and now this? Clearly, for all of her talk of taking a break and stepping back, she's really just jerking every scrapbooker around who thinks she will ever be responsive to their needs beyond the PL app. She's been blowing smoke the whole time if she's had time to develop and produce this "coming for you" item.

Also, anyone think it is odd that Becky herself is shipping out the product? That's not super typical of someone in her position (or her old position), right? I have been watching Grace and Frankie on Netflix and it reminds me of their vibrator business. www.facebook.com/GraceandFrankie/WE DON'T WANT THAT BECKY! We want scrapbooking supplies!

I think Becky is partly right...customers demanded something and she failed to supply it so customers went to companies that met their needs.
Does that make it more of a demand and supply problem? 🤔😂
