June

I just read the thread posted in DST about closing the blog down. Here's my official statement.

I'm not going anywhere.

I have been talked about here, people I know have been talked about here, and people I don't know have been talked about here.

Unfortunately, we are in a business prevalent with people who should not be doing it. If your quality is bad, it will be talked about. If your manner is unprofessional, you will be talked about. And, sometimes, if you're just plain awesome, you will be talked about. (That's my category, for the record.)

Keep on keepin' on.

I found some old blog trains on my EHD today. One of them was from a store called Digital Candy. I tried searching for them online and got a page with no content.

Whatever happened to them?

Anonymous said...

Wasnt Digital Candy the store that went under becuase of the Amanda Dykan drama? I was trying to remember when they were talking about Amanda here last week.

Anonymous said...

That does sound right or it was a store with a similar type of name.

Anonymous said...

I remember that some store went under because the person offering classes wasn't holding up her end of the deal (collecting $, not holding the classes or something like that). Not sure if that was Digital Candy or some other site.

I do remember there was some drama surrounding Digital Candy and the owners but that was so long ago that I can't recall the details anymore.

Amanda Dykan was the final nail in the Digital Candy coffin. However, I think it was slowly headed downhill after Heidi sold it.

Anonymous said...

Digital Candy at one time was a great store, there was drama and it was sold. The new owner was a former ct or admin and some crooked things started happening, I also believe Amanda was tied to the store and\or drama in some way. It was 3 or 4 years ago I believe.

Anonymous said...

The new owner of DC decided to start designing by liberating some CU items from the store's designers directly off the FTP, if I recall correctly. Also, I believe she was directly involved in helping to create the LilyAnne persona for Amanda.

P.S I'll never log off no matter what. Get over it. You all can try to get rid of me but you'll never will.

Anonymous said...

Thats it...the new owner and her husband started a new site to sort of compete with dst. Amanda Dykan was going to move her bud club there and they were going to offer other classes. Then the shit hit the fan with the Amanda/Lillyann drama and the stolen CU and DC and the new site closed

It got really weird, as I recall. So much drama with the new owners. And of course Amanda was always her own drama. Remember the "gunshot?"

The answer to that is so obvious.

I just really, really hate it when someone says they are sick of a topic, they must be involved somehow. Maybe they are just sick of the topic.

The topic of the SugarBabes was so gossipy and sugary, it could have been discussed at SSD. I'm not saying smack all the time, but like I asked before, for the store you all love to smack, why are some of you so invested?

Anonymous said...

Non-sequitur question. Those of you that hate it when a designer doesn't preview all the items in a kit. Is that because you pass up kits you might have bought had you seen all the items? Because I don't really understand any other reason other than you just want to see everything in the package.

I figured if you're willing to shell out the money for the items you see in the preview then anything extra (not seen) would just be a bonus no? Unless you want to see everything that's listed in the description. Guess I just don't understand.

I'd like to see examples of ass kissing. Otherwise, I think you're being petty.

Anonymous said...

#19 - Many times in the past I've bought kits that have not had everything shown in the preview, from various designers at various stores. Almost every single time the items not shown are not of quality. The designer sure as heck knows this, or they wouldn't hide the items. Now I'm suspicious if I don't see all the items. Once bitten and all that.

I see that too. I just don't see anything really ass kissy. Oh well, we all see things differently, I guess.

I think the ass kissing happens more in private on designer's CTs. I've seen it, too, on most designer's CTs. There is always a lot of sunshine being pumped up a designer's ass by a lot of people.

#39- There are a ton of girls who are at SSD daily and who participate in the forum and challenges because they like it. They deserve a chance at being a Babe too. People get tired of seeing the same girls making SSD teams all the time. I think it's more about that than ass kissing.

It's a catch 22 then? Being active gets you more ct's but gets you hated.

Also the fact that the Babe call is a nomination makes it a popularity contest. It's about who likes you, not about who deserves a spot.

#49- That has gone on for as long as they have had the Friday Peeks. I don't know if that's ass kissing though. It sounds more like, they either really like the peeks or they want free stuff.

I lurk at SSD and don't see what the big deal is, these ladies are showing they want it and want it bad.

For those upset find a way to get on some of the designers teams, pm or email telling them you like their product and would love a chance at a guest spot. I took a leap with a designer I really admired by sending her an email stating I would love the opportunity to guest for her for a month. Sent a link to my gallery showing my use of her products as well as other pages. Surprise surprise she was flattered and offered me a guest spot. That guest spot turned into a full ct gig.

As for Nikki, I personally like her pages and hope she is considered..........I have no affiliation with her nor am I her.

I agree with 71 and 74, I buy the kits I want and if I spend money, so be it. I don't advertise in the Friday Peeks that I NEEEEEEEED everything and my paypal is in SOOOOOOOOO much trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is kissing ass. The only reason to show such enthusiasm is because you want something in return.

I thought Aja Abney retired? She retired her personal shop at CS. Now it seems Christine and her are selling under a "collab" design name. I hate when designers do that. If your going to retire. Retire. Coming back under a new design name with someone else is just annoying. It gets hard to keep track of all the designers and their "collab" design names.

#76- The people whose paypal hurts are not CT's for those designers. I can do without the endless ass kissing in the Friday Peek thread. I don't even look there anymore. Just leave it at designer peeks and layouts.

Anonymous said...

Sometimes as a CT you have to bump threads as part of your ct requirement. What the heck are you supposed to say when you bump a thread for a designer you ct for? Whatever you say, your bump winds up making you look like a rabid ct member... or an ass-kisser. Same thing with enabling in my opinion - I hate both of those things which is why I don't ct anymore.

Anonymous said...

79- That is true. CT-ing has good things and bad things about it. Sometimes it isn't worth it. If you don't enable, your not doing your "job". If you don't talk in the community, your not doing your "job". If you do what your supposed to, your called an ass kisser. I hate the bumping of the threads. There is no need to "bump" the Friday peek thread.

Looking over all the picks, I'm closest to 94's choices. Should mention I'm not active at SSD much, but used to be. Another one turned off by ass kissing and love fest.

*suladesign--not a huge fan, but ok. not sure how she acts in forums?
*nikki--like her pages, seems to be a sweet girl, pimps her designers. i like her work and her style. a good babe choice for SSD.
*lizzy257--i thought she already was a babe. her pages are really nice, haven't heard of any drama with her. i think she has a lot of CTs already, but doubt that matters. imo, she should be a no brainer.
*jennifer--haven't seen her around much. love her pages, also liked her work when she designed. seems quiet, no ass kissing that i've noticed. may hurt her in getting a spot. not sure why she's not been around?
*paula--it's about time she gets a spot. it's obvious she's desperate to be a babe. i'm sure she'd do good work, she's been around forever. i remember her getting mad a couple of years ago about not getting a spot--attitude may hurt her? imo, it's time to just give it to her. she's put in the time.
*sir scrapalot--his pages are just ok to me. his whole attitude just kind of puts me off. i'm sure he'd be a fine babe...what would they call him? that would be worth it to hear.
*yepbrook--too new. idk her at all. first time i've looked at her pages and they're ok.

it will be interesting to see who they pick.do current babes vote or just designers?

I have been nominated for an award for my "day job" once and the nomination process required that the nominee be informed and agreed to the nomination. At first, I thought it was odd, but then, I changed my mind. In this case, considering it would involve some "work" to be done, it would simply make sense to know if the person is willing or even available for that position. Not every scrapper is interested. Not every good scrapper is even available for CT work. Although, if they are invited in private, they can still decline in private and still be professional about it.

This is going to be long sorry...
So I just got linked to this...normally idc what ppl have to say about me, but this is just ridiculous. Honestly alyssa.. Here's the truth... No one offered me $ for the site design. I wanted it off because our agreement was that we were going to change the site later on when WE (yes me and you) opened the store together (then backed out when I disagreed when you decided that you were gonna run the store as tiffany without letting me know). Then I would redesign one since that particular design is for my portfolio... I asked you before I Asked them and you said" No they won't. They bought the store. That's the store's theme. That's something you'll have to take up with them" I didnt want to just say I want it off. I knew you would try to convince me to let them have it but I was and am not comfortable with strangers having my site design up (and now refusing to take it down)when it was meant to be temporary. I did everything design for that store.. the name the color scheme, the avis, some of the blinkies and even that messed up splash that idk why still hasnt been fixed lol. You STOLE from me. Plain and simple I did not get anything for doing all that and to top it all off YOU want to sell the store including my hard work? Heres where you messed up.. you sold the site under Tiffany..a person who does not exist. thus the contract is void. Something the new store owners should of known. oh and you KNOW I have proof to all of this and Im the ONLY one who can put all these rumors about you to rest.I have all our ims & emails stored and since i was in school i would have to record my screen as I worked to show my professor. Now the ones I turned in are sound free but the originals have most of our skype calls recorded. Did you really think I would trust you 100% after Ive personally seen how fast you turn on people when things dont go your way? This isnt a threat, I may have tons of proof of many things I know ppl would love to see but thats not my concern.I do not intend to use it. The only proof that I need and will show is the one regarding MY site design. I have no problem showing my face showing the needed people the simple things like my id to prove my identity when my lawyer gets back to work on this... but hiding behind your keyboard isn't really gonna do anything this time. The sad part is that since you wont come forward, again the contract to the new store owners is void. You wont loose a thing but the new owners will have to pay someone to redesign the site. not that you care anyways, you got your money. You will not make me out to be desperate for $ when you were the one who went crazy when you thought another designer stole $6 from you... (and to put that rumor to rest she DID NOT steal from me or alyssa. she was bullied out her stores for nothing)


Sorry this was so long to anyone else reading. I'm just tired of this woman and her lies while playing the victim. I had to say my part. I decided to post on here because well everyone reads this blog and if they don't they'll hear it. Store owners cant do anything about it (doubt if they should have to anyways) so emailing them is pointless. Its drama thus it will go where drama goes. Plus its other designers and customers who would be the ones that would want to know.
Now alyssa I will drop all of this if you somehow get my site design taken down. I dont ever have to deal with you and youll never hear from me. oh and please take down "tuesday morning" down as a freebie, Its a collab and I did not give you permission to give my part away. (is it still pirating if you slap your name on it and call it your own? then give it away?) idk but again its still stealing.
one more thing... keep my name out of "your mouth" (keyboard in this case I guess) if you need to tell me something you know where to find me. Don't use my name to get out of drama you've gotten yourself into.

#136- What does that have to do with anything? We all read that. Why bring it back up?

AlyD said...

136 thanks so much for posting this!

oh Janet you're so sweet. You can't even afford a lawyer. You really expect me to beleive that you're going to spend money on a lawyer over a site design when you should be spending money on a lawyer to sue the people that messed up your sons arm when he was born? Oh please.

And the site never belonged to me and you know this so stop the lies. I just love how You waited until I was on vacation to post that because you know I hate going to back to reading things.

AlyD said...

137 because I needed to see it although I don't really have much to say. She's just upset because she's broke and needed the 500 or whatever for the site design...which I offered to pay for even after all of this crap. She said no..... Soooo not my problem, can't really be bothered to care.

But I'd love to see how much you and your "lawyer" get out of this since the contract is so "void" because Tiffany the actua previousl owner of the site "doesn't exist". Lol.

AlyD said...

140 tell me about it.

Anonymous said...

nobody cares Aly!

AlyD said...

142 I didnt post it....but I couldn't just not replied. I messaged her on fb so idk if she'll reply here or there, I don't care either way though. It's just the acts of someone desperate and broke. Can't be bothered.

Her priorities are severely messed up. She couldn't even afford rent and she used her financial aid check to buy a MacBook. And now she's apparently using a lawyer to deal with this site design crap which she has no rights to really instead of using a lawyer to sue the people at the hospital where her son was born. Poor girl.

Right. Because this hasn't been discussed before. Because we haven't talked enough about it.

Just a casual observer here, but you pretty much just admitted that you were posing as a Tiffany and that she never existed.

You really are scum and I hope that I never have any business dealings with you as a designer, scrapper or customer.

Oh god, think about something else to say. This is the most asinine and over used response to anything on here.

95-And I'm sure the STORE would like it to be in a personal message if it is a decline, as the store wants everybody to think that everybody is clamoring for the positions. They wouldn't want anybody else to know that someone declined.

If it were me and I was nominated without notice, given the position without notice, I would publicly decline, it's the very least they deserve.

Anonymous said...

149- No, she was saying that Tiffany "doesn't exist". The quotes around the words mean sarcasm to me. She never actually admitted to owning WLS in that post.

I think it just goes to show that despite Robin's zero tolerance policy for this blog that there are quite a few SSD Designers, Babes and Customers who come here.

I have a zero tolerance for morons, but they are still out there. What's your point?

Actually, she posted it before you went on vacation.

You can't honestly believe Bean Bunny didn't know what she was getting into? Aly and Bean Bunny were best friends. She knew what Aly was like, she even said it in her post.

I'm so disappointed in the designers With Love Studio is bringing on since it's been sold...or since I sold it I should say since everyone thinks I owned it.

Made by me inspirations- yuck!

Ali Sarah designs- yuck!

Starry eyed designs- yuck!
----------

I never thought you owned it, so clearly not everyone.

All these designers don't look that different from you and the products already sold on that site.

Bean Bunny said...

so you didnt own it? I wonder who I was talking to all that time when we picked out a name..took in apps.. even changed the admin pw on me when I got on ur case over being a douche with some designers because they didnt want to deal with your crazy ass.

and if your going to "burn me" with my financial aid money do it right... I was planning on buy an ipad.. Not an mac.(which later on I told you I was surprised with) I now use it to get text books on, cheaper which comes in real handy. You can throw out there that I'm broke all you want lol it doesnt bother me. Yes Im a broke single mom. Its nothing to be ashamed of. At least I'm not. Im working damn hard for my degree doing what I have to do to provide a better life for my son. Being broke is only going to make it better knowing how hard I had to work for what I wanted. Not everyone can live off a trust fund.
My son's business has nothing to do with all your drama.. but in all alyssa style you just want to have your moment. Go for it. Just proves how much of a bitch you are.

I dont want or care about your money I want my design off that site so I can put it in my portfolio since that's why I spent the semester taking that class.


and last but not least..one of the many screenshots.. and please don't even try to claim that its photoshoped because I can easily post a screen recording of it too. but nice try..

this is the last time I write on here since Im not one to do all of this. With school, work and a 3 year old time is a privilege. I rather spend it doing something productive. You guys now have proof alyssa was the owner of WLS. Need anything else or any questions feel free to email me. Beanbunnydesigns@gmail.com .

BTW I will be making some video tutorials on lots of things to do with scrap and posting them on my FB. Might as well let you ladies know since Im here lol :D Hope everyone has a great day, night, or whatever!

I'm still being talked about. Yay!

72 - my mother is demoraes. My father is wade. I had a hyphenated last name. I hate writing them all out so I used them interchangeably. Alyssa demoraes. Alyssa wade. I married a Mayen.

AlyD said...

168 i dont see it as "busted". what exactly does that screen shot prove? That i said i because i was being "accused" of owning it anyway? How did I own with love studio if my name wasn't on anything? Hmm weird. But okay Janet. Lol. Like I said, nothing matters to me anymore anyway. So you can post or send out any proof you think you may have. <3

AlyD said...

149 awesome! Let me know who you are so I don't buy from you.

174 thank you. My nose is perfect though lol. Let's see yours?

AlyD said...

176 I don't drink :(

AlyD said...

168 btw I just noticed the last part. Nothing wrong with shameless self promotion. You think they care about your tutorials because you posted a lousy screenshot of nothing? I was expecting a screenshot of where my name was on a bill or something regarding the site.....but that could never happen since I never actually owned it. Silly girl.

But still spending your financial aid check on aan iPad...or considering it....who cares...really just shows how fuvked up your priorities are. If anything you should have given it to your mom for rent.

What to do about a designer who used CU at Artscow 'as is' against the TOU of the designer they bought it from?

This kit is full of Starlight's CU with no changes made.

http://www.artscow.com/digital-scrapbooking/nature-forgotten-trails-10774

This person has been doing this quite a bit with a lot of designers CU. She also sells on Etsy. Artscow won't do anything and an email sent to Starlight went unanswered. This kind of blatant disregard of a designer's TOU is amazing.

Anonymous said...

Any CU designers here may want to go through her kits to make sure their stuff isn't being used against the terms of their TOU.

http://www.artscow.com/digital-scrapbooking/laurrie

She probably paid for it but she obviously doesn't read the TOUs once she's purchased it.

Anonymous said...

That stuff is all awful - whether it's hers or not.

I didn't think Starlight was still around.
