200, yah. That's why we carry on about every designer and beat that dead horse to a pulp. We are *all* secret agents working for the designer. We rotate too based on who's smack worthy.
I can't believe you bitches are picking on a teenage boy. At least he is doing something productive with his time and not out doing drugs, stealing, or something. Stupid bitches.

WTH? I think you need to quit doing the drugs you are stealing.
#6 No I don't know, tell me. I just want to read juicy smack. There are so many designers out there and everyone keeps going on and on about junior. Ok he's young. He's a boy in a girly business. Can we talk about something else? Anyone? Start a new juicy topic...???
Ok DSD is coming up so is Black Friday. How much money are you planning on spending in November for digi supplies? Any specific beautiful items on your wishlist?
I plan on spending $200-$300 and I can't wait for $deals like the Farmers Market at Scrap Orchard. I plan on buying many calendars.
Well I still find the smacking about Junior boring and I'm wondering why so many of you are so interested? Maybe that's something we should smack about!!!
Well I still find the smacking about Junior boring and I'm wondering why so many of you are so interested? ------
Geez, it's the same level of interest when any designer gets smacked. No more, no less. No, I'm wrong, some designers get smacked a whole lot more with a lot more interest. I wonder why you aren't asking this question about them.
#16 Why not? I can never make them that good and they are great christmas gifts. I already have tons of kits. Of course I'll buy a few kits and elements too. Well with that amount of money I'll probably buy lots of stuff. :)
That is called fraud and it's illegal. ----------------- And that is why it is worth asking, don't you think? I read in this blog that some stores or designers actually did it. I would like to know who, so I can watch out, or avoid them altogether.
#22 I've noticed designers rise their prices because I keep a wishlist file with kits I want to buy with the preview and the original price.Many times when I go and buy the kit I have seen a slight rise of the price something like $0.20-$0.50 but I can't remember the designers.Only the stores. Scrap Orchard,After Five,Sweet Shoppe.
Does it mean everybody in digiland is perfectly honest and nothing illegal ever happens? -----
Did I say that? No, I didn't.
While I have seen talk of some designers and stores doing this, I think, with one exception, it turned out that the person who made the accusation was wrong.
Wow the bitches are showing their claws. Junior is a favorite in digiland. I talk about sex because I have a dirty mind. But FYI I like older men not kids. No I'm not new to the blog. Smack away whoever you want. I don't care anymore.
#32 Yes that's why I always buy them when she releases them.That's when she has the lowest prices. She has amazing previews but is an example of a designer who disappoints me everytime I unzip to see what it has inside.
#31- People tend to walk around with a big pair of balls when they can post "anon".
----
I hope you aren't excluding yourself in that statement. Personally, I walk around with a big pair of ovaries, coz, you know, they on the inside and don't get sweaty and rashy.
#36 Flounce??? LOL!!! Too much slang going on in here. No I didn't flounce,I'm still here.Getting ready to sleep but will be back tomorrow. Maybe I'm just too tired to give a damn about junior.
#50- I meant for shopping sales not designer income. Though I wish I could get that much increase in sales LOL. How much does the average designer make during DSD?
Raising prices in general isn't illegal as #41 is trying to insinuate. Some digi stores have price hikes that doesn't mean that they are raising prices for a sale. It's an overall price hike to keep our designers in business.
I'd love to see 50% off and $ sales. I hate the "buy $10/20/whatever worth of stuff and get this collab free" type sales - my budget is minuscule and I like to spread it around. Ill skip the QP hops (shudder).
I hate store-wide buy $10 to get the free kit too. Unless it is offered from the specific designer I am purchasing from, then I'll take it. But for a store collab? No thanks. I never download it because I won't use it.
Raising prices in general isn't illegal as #41 is trying to insinuate. ------
Hiking up a price just before it goes on sale, and then reducing said item to the original price and saying that's the sale price, is illegal. At least where I live.
#60 here again - I also wanted to add that I didn't insinuate anything about general price hikes being illegal. I'm not even sure where you read that. Between the lines maybe?
#60 Right, but they didn't hike and reduce again after the sale. They just hiked and kept it that way.
You were responding to a discussion about price hikes before sales. Why mention it in response to that topic if you were trying to corrolate the two? Everyone already knows prices have gone up. So you were trying to stir the pot or you were merely bringing up the obvious.
#60 the price hikes could also be attributed to the removal of an existing discount before the new (larger) discount is added.
This is what I usually see when shopping during large sales - not what you are implying.
So if a bundle is already discounted by 25%, but the store is having a 40% off sale, the 25% discount is removed before the 40% discount is applied to the bundle.
Ok, anyone heard anything about Ms Charly getting bitch slapped from Scrap Takeout because she was pretending to be her "twin" sister, wild cherry designs? I heard she lost her whole CT because Jen outed her in the designers forum, and what's even weirder, she says she is part of triplets now. Apparently the day "wild cherry" was set to open, the welcome letter went out, but she got booted at the same time. Dish ladies, I'd like to know what is going on.
#63 - I was responding to the question, and I quote
- Anyone noticed any shop raising their price to reduce them for the sales? -
that is not about general prices going up, that is specifically about stores rising prices so the can reduce them for sales. My answer directly "correlates" to that question.
#65- Charly owns her own store (Berry Sweet I think) why would she even go to STO to sell under her "twins" name? Is it common for store owners to sell at other stores? That doesn't make sense to me.
From a CT at STO, Brennian. She was Charlys CT too. Apparently Jen told the designers and CT and what CT that worked for Charly jumped ship asap. A lot of store owners sell at other stores, it isn't uncommon. Dunno why she was trying sell under her "twins" name, if she even has one, much less three of them. Kinda think since she was smacked here awhile back for trying to buy that other store, she wanted to change her image. I'm just curious how much truth is there to this.
This is what I usually see when shopping during large sales - not what you are implying. ----
I'm not implying anything whatsoever. Someone asked a simple question, I gave a simple and direct answer. I'm not sure why there are people trying to raise extraneous and non relevant issues.

#78- I don't understand why she just doesn't post the pictures of her and her twin/ triplet on the blog as proof that the allegations are false. That would be a simple enough solution to the problem.
--- I think #78 IS Charly. Proof your posts before hitting the publish button. It was torture reading that post. Punctuation was the least of the issues. Multiple personalities? You scare me. And so do you.
I don't mind receiving a free collab for orders over $10. I usually spend that much at a store anyway. I just saw Studio Basics kit for free if you spend $10 and I like it. I prefer sales 40-50% and $deals.
62-All I said was that I like Studio Basic. You don't have to if you don't want to. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I buy her things because I think the elements are unique. I'm on several CT's but I buy things from Studio Basic. I like her choice of colors too.
From Charly's blog: Ps..I also wanted to let you know i finally got my Twin Sister Renay into Designing so you will be seeing lots of her stuff around Digiland now.She will be opening her new shop october 1st at a undisclosed store not My store incase your wondering LOL as we prefer to sell at seperate shops and not together as we are together at home 24/7 so online we thought we would try not to be shoved up eachothers butts and follow eachother to there shops:)Anyway…If you like my style you will like hers as we do the same styles.Ok now i am really off to create:) ---------
She wasn't smart enough to delete it on her Fan page so here is the post she deleted on her blog.
********* Their seems to be alot of Drama Lately and i want to give my side of the story,
I have a sister who loved making siggy tags for years and i told her to try out designing that she would Love it,she was iffy at first as she enjoyed making tags,but she tried it and fell in love just like i said,after a few months i told her to try and sell her designs,so she applied at a shop and got accepted,when she did she had to fill out a contract and send her photo and info for the team page,she told them upfront that she has a twin so don’t be suprised when you see i look like her,they were ok with that,she told them who she was and her design name,that would be me,she spent amonthg etting her kits ready,repackaged to thir template,getting all her kits QC’d by there team,uploading them to ftp,adding to the store and making ads,resigning from her old shop,paying to have Blinkies made,she had her Grand opening and woke up the next morning to a email from the owner,saying they do not like liers at their store and that she is nolonger a Designer at the shop,She emailed them back asking why she was let go and what she lied about,they would not reply to her, the meantime i got emails from my lead ct and a few others wanting to step down immediately due to recent events.
i knew what they were referring to,so i emailed the store myself,explaining to them we were twins actually triplets but only 2 of us design and i thought it was wrong of them to be going around telling there design team and ct members lies and things they do not know the truth about that they should of came to me or my sister for the truth befor assuming we are liers and giving us a bad name.I even said i would send proof we are 2 people,with photos of us together as kids and also adults,I got a email back saying >>>
Awww, there you are. Before you go getting all snotty. Oh wait. That already happened. How professional of YOU. Get a grip.
You and you’re dual personality are still fired. I stated FACT to our CT members, and yes it was behind your back because I removed your access, duh. Charlie Renay. Renay Wild. OH WAIT, now the twins are triplets! Let’s add Jade to the mix too.
Whatever you want to call yourself is fine with me. I won’t have it in my store. Just stop before you trip over your own mouth and another lie again.
I re emailed them saying i could not find anytime to design under 2 names, keep up with 2 fb accounts,2 twitters,2 blogs and 2 pinteres accounts and ct for a few ladies and own a store and run it with a full forum and sell at my other shop and also sell at there store under a name and design for them too,and that my name is Charly Renay yes renay is my middle name,my sisters first name is renay i did not name us that way my mom and Dad did..I am not hiding that my middle name is renay i have charly renay for my facebook account .
My sister tried to find a new store after this mess and gets replies they prefer not to hire her,due to all the Drama and lies going around,so are more blantant that she is a lier and they do not like liers,so it is going beyond just that store they are telling everyone and i feel that is not right if they do not know the truth,well they do as they have been told,but anyway i just wanted you all to know what the deal is and that i do not have multiple personalities,and i am not designing under anouther name.I am Me and Renay is Renay.We are 2 seperate People designing ,we look the same as we are twins.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and sorry for all this Drama:(
I agree with you, 108. I've never interacted with her, but based on that email (which I think is legit, simply because it managed to have spaces in the right spots) I don't want to.
I can't imagine a store owner being that unprofessional!
http://funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/blog/?p=11146 Obviously no one is surprised. Read the comments, looks like one of the trolls from here wandered over to fpd. I feel bad for Cindy having to see crap written about her, she should have to come here for that. Clearly she had no clue how to run a store, it's been sad to see the decline of fpd, it used to be a great site.
I have nothing to add to this twin/triplet/whatever craziness except that maybe the new mod could edit post 71 to delete the CT's name? This is an anonymous blog, so perhaps we should keep sources anonymous, too.
It sounds to me like there was more than one email exchanged and what was posted was done to paint Jenn in the worst possible way. Yes, it is bitchy but I'd be pissed too if I felt lied to and who knows what the "twins" said prior to that.
And to think I was pegged as a Charly hater a couple of weeks ago. Where is that person now to defend her?
FFS Charly/Cherry wtf ever she/he is didn't even bother to customize the templates for GS Creations in that Halloween kit she posted on Wild Cherry sneak peek. Isn't that a violation? The more I read and see the more I see they are twins, IN THE HEAD! Who owns the store with her anyway, anyone know?
116 But where in the world did you get the idea that I know her in real life? Lol that's funny. Because I swear a few months ago everyone was saying I was faking and didn't exist at all. Make up your minds!!
124 I read here almost every other day waiting to be bought up again so I can have something to say. Don't want me here, don't bring me up in shit that has nothing to do with me. It's simple.
Hmmmm if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck..wait, maybe it's a twin, or maybe AlyD, or who the hell knows anymore! It would be scary if they were all one and the same! If you don't like being brought up, then keep your nose out of the blog. Talk about glutton for punishment.
If I don't like being bought up then keep my nose out of the blog? How does that make any sense? I'm going to be bought whether I read here or not. Who said I don't like it though? Lol. Its everyone else that has a problem with the "troll" being here. I'm not the one complaining. I quite like the attention. If you've been reading here long enough, you'd know that.
62-All I said was that I like Studio Basic. You don't have to if you don't want to. --------
And all I asked was how is her product unique and funky compared to other products. NO need to get all defensive with the 'don't like it don't buy it'. It wasn't necessary
85 Lol. I missed that one. But no, it doesn't have shades of "Aly" written all over it. It has YOUR version of shades of Aly written all over it.
I don't like Jen Yurko because she is a bitch like someone else says. So I would never apply to her store and I doubt she would ever take me. :D She is a liar herself so I don't see where she has room to talk about Charly.
How do you guys feel about designers (who CT for stores that they don't sell at) and spend more time in the forums there than in the shop they sell at?
Okay I've been keeping this to myself for too long. Whenever I see Hummie post on a forum, I swear to god I want to pull my hair out. Is she lacking any formal communication skills through online outlets or is it just me?
It seems like anything someone posts that questions her wording, she gets super defensive and then blames it on "not being able to distinguish tone in text form". If that isn't a cop out I don't know what is, I can read tone fine when posting on forums.
I have nothing to add to this twin/triplet/whatever craziness except that maybe the new mod could edit post 71 to delete the CT's name? This is an anonymous blog, so perhaps we should keep sources anonymous, too. ----
No. She wrote it, it's not anyone's business to police posts on this blog.
Jen Yurko was a total unprofessional bitch to her in the email. -----
That was a PRIVATE email. Charly had no business posting that on the blog. It would have been unprofessional behavior if Jen posted that comment in the forum, on FB or a blog, but it wasn't. Contrary to what some of you think, owners are people and they aren't always professional when they are angry. Wow, who would have thunk it?
I'm not for Jen or Charly, just a person who doesn't expect others to uphold standards she can't always maintain herself.
How do you guys feel about designers (who CT for stores that they don't sell at) and spend more time in the forums there than in the shop they sell at? --------
#141- You would "thunk" that even if it's a private email it can be used against you at a later time. So if she was "thunking" she would have kept herself more professional.
#139 I'm new here and I don't know who you are. What is your design name?
#114 Get over yourself and stop being a smartass.I'm a different poster,a customer and I type without leaving spaces.Is that so hard to believe?FYI I've writen 20-30 posts here so far.
Actually she used the word thunk properly, even though it has no real use in "proper language". Yes, going grammar nazi here but it's a simple past tense of think... who would've thunk that?
#149 My comments on this page only are: 8,11,12,18,20,24,26,31,34,40,44,46,50,87,93,94,95,147,150. Total 19. So I've posted more than 50 total. Someone a few days ago told me to use the space bar and I'm trying since.LOL!
I proved my point that I'm not this crazy twin-triplet designer.
I get irritated with designers who are active at other stores where they CT then where they sell at. Some designers require you to be active at the store they sell at but they can't do the same. It shows a lack of respect to the store owner.
141-You only have Charly's word that that was what Jen said in an email. Charly is a known liar. Why would you believe that? Looks like you want to believe Jen is unprofessional. I've had dealings with her and she's always been professional with me.
I don't understand why she just doesn't post the pictures of her and her twin/ triplet on the blog as proof that the allegations are false. That would be a simple enough solution to the problem. ---
No it wouldn't. Photos are very easy to manipulate.
No it wouldn't. Photos are very easy to manipulate. ----------------------- But no photo at all is suspicious though. And if you look in galleries where moms have twins or triplets, you can see variety of poses that can hardly be manipulated. I am sure twins would have lots of pics of them together, from childhood to adulthood; birthdays, outings, first day of school, family portraits, etc.
----------------- I agree, but showing quickly 10 photos of siblings should be easier with real twins than manipulating 10 photos. Not impossible, but a quick display of several photos probably would have settle things instead of keeping a cloud of suspicion because nothing is prooving her right.
How do you guys feel about designers (who CT for stores that they don't sell at) and spend more time in the forums there than in the shop they sell at? --------
It annoys me no end.
------
What do you care? If they don't want to promote their business and make more money, it's no skin off your back.

What do you care if it annoys me? No skin off your back.
However, to answer your question, it annoys me as a designer in a store to see other designers not pulling their weight, because they are too busy elsewhere. If they have no interest in the store they are selling at, the should have the decency to move on.

I'd rather read constructive (even if it's not so nice) talk than just a "juicy" one.
#8 this is it. This is the current smack news.
You got anything worthwhile other than complaining about what we are talking about? if not, go dig something up.
Ok DSD is coming up so is Black Friday. How much money are you planning on spending in November for digi supplies?
Any specific beautiful items on your wishlist?
I plan on spending $200-$300 and I can't wait for $deals like the Farmers Market at Scrap Orchard.
I plan on buying many calendars.
Well I still find the smacking about Junior boring and I'm wondering why so many of you are so interested? Maybe that's something we should smack about!!!
Sure, we'll smack about how anonymous #12 has the hots for junior. That makes sense.
this blog was dead until "Junior" came along.
Can we talk about something else?
Anyone? Start a new juicy topic...???

I'm not your mother, you are not a toddler, go and entertain yourself.
#11- Why waste your money on calendars?
So he is the life of the party without doing anything!
Now that sales are coming up which shop is the worst at cutting prices?
Well I still find the smacking about Junior boring and I'm wondering why so many of you are so interested?

Geez, it's the same level of interest when any designer gets smacked. No more, no less. No, I'm wrong, some designers get smacked a whole lot more with a lot more interest. I wonder why you aren't asking this question about them.
#16 Why not?
I can never make them that good and they are great christmas gifts. I already have tons of kits. Of course I'll buy a few kits and elements too. Well with that amount of money I'll probably buy lots of stuff. :)

I'm hoping for some really good sales this DSD. More than 20-30% at least.
#37- I'm not excluding anyone including myself.

Excellent.
#42- Do I get points for that?
#37 A big pair of ovaries!! Hilarious!! Love it! You go girl!
#36 Flounce??? LOL!!! Too much slang going on in here.
------
Flounce is not slang.
#41 Tell us more!! How much is 20-30% ?
Now that's interesting stuff!
October is going to be record month in comments. This blog is on fire.
#46- Maybe 35% -40% off? That's better than 20-30% off.
#47- All thanks to Junior and opening yet another new store.
#48 I meant how much are the good sales? 20-30% up in sales is how much in money?
#50- I meant for shopping sales not designer income. Though I wish I could get that much increase in sales LOL. How much does the average designer make during DSD?
Raising prices in general isn't illegal as #41 is trying to insinuate. Some digi stores have price hikes that doesn't mean that they are raising prices for a sale. It's an overall price hike to keep our designers in business.
I wish Studio Basic would do kits that actually went together. Most of them seem like they were tossed together in a day.
I'd love to see 50% off and $ sales. I hate the "buy $10/20/whatever worth of stuff and get this collab free" type sales - my budget is minuscule and I like to spread it around. Ill skip the QP hops (shudder).
So, let's get some good smack going. A few stores are closing soon (or, in the case of ZZS, closed today). Which store(s) SHOULD close?
I don't think you'll find that all too entertaining to discuss. It's pretty clear which ones are ghost towns and struggling to get by.
I hate store-wide buy $10 to get the free kit too. Unless it is offered from the specific designer I am purchasing from, then I'll take it. But for a store collab? No thanks. I never download it because I won't use it.
53-I love Studio Basic kits. They are full of really unique and funky elements. They are fun to use. (IMO)
#58- Do you buy her kits or are you on her CT?
Raising prices in general isn't illegal as #41 is trying to insinuate.
------
Hiking up a price just before it goes on sale, and then reducing said item to the original price and saying that's the sale price, is illegal. At least where I live.
#60 here again - I also wanted to add that I didn't insinuate anything about general price hikes being illegal. I'm not even sure where you read that. Between the lines maybe?
They are full of really unique
-----
Compared to what? I just checked her store, nothing unique about any of the elements, nothing that funky either.
#60 Right, but they didn't hike and reduce again after the sale. They just hiked and kept it that way.
You were responding to a discussion about price hikes before sales. Why mention it in response to that topic if you were trying to corrolate the two? Everyone already knows prices have gone up. So you were trying to stir the pot or you were merely bringing up the obvious.
#60 the price hikes could also be attributed to the removal of an existing discount before the new (larger) discount is added.
This is what I usually see when shopping during large sales - not what you are implying.
So if a bundle is already discounted by 25%, but the store is having a 40% off sale, the 25% discount is removed before the 40% discount is applied to the bundle.
Ok, anyone heard anything about Ms Charly getting bitch slapped from Scrap Takeout because she was pretending to be her "twin" sister, wild cherry designs? I heard she lost her whole CT because Jen outed her in the designers forum, and what's even weirder, she says she is part of triplets now. Apparently the day "wild cherry" was set to open, the welcome letter went out, but she got booted at the same time. Dish ladies, I'd like to know what is going on.
#63 - I was responding to the question, and I quote
- Anyone noticed any shop raising their price to reduce them for the sales? -
that is not about general prices going up, that is specifically about stores rising prices so the can reduce them for sales. My answer directly "correlates" to that question.
The only stirring going on is by you.
Next please.
never even heard of that store.
But did they lower them again, #66?
#65- Charly owns her own store (Berry Sweet I think) why would she even go to STO to sell under her "twins" name? Is it common for store owners to sell at other stores? That doesn't make sense to me.
#65- Where did you hear this?
#70
From a CT at STO, Brennian. She was Charlys CT too. Apparently Jen told the designers and CT and what CT that worked for Charly jumped ship asap. A lot of store owners sell at other stores, it isn't uncommon. Dunno why she was trying sell under her "twins" name, if she even has one, much less three of them. Kinda think since she was smacked here awhile back for trying to buy that other store, she wanted to change her image. I'm just curious how much truth is there to this.
But did they lower them again, #66?

How the heck do I know? I'm answering a hypothetical question.
This is what I usually see when shopping during large sales - not what you are implying.
----
I'm not implying anything whatsoever. Someone asked a simple question, I gave a simple and direct answer. I'm not sure why there are people trying to raise extraneous and non relevant issues.
Is it common for store owners to sell at other stores? That doesn't make sense to me.
------
It's been known.
Ok, anyone heard anything about Ms Charly getting bitch slapped from Scrap Takeout because she was pretending to be her "twin" sister, wild cherry designs? I heard she lost her whole CT because Jen outed her in the designers forum, and what's even weirder, she says she is part of triplets now. Apparently the day "wild cherry" was set to open, the welcome letter went out, but she got booted at the same time. Dish ladies, I'd like to know what is going on.
-----
Seems like you already know what's going on.
#75- LOL. It seems she does and wanted to get here to tell everyone first. I wouldn't be shocked if it was Jen Y herself.
#71- You just named the CT who told you. Smart move.

Charly's is writting about it on her blog
#78- I don't understand why she just doesn't post the pictures of her and her twin/ triplet on the blog as proof that the allegations are false. That would be a simple enough solution to the problem.
Interesting about Charly aka Wild Cherry aka Sunny Day Scraps. She just became a new moderator at DST under the Wild Cherry name.

Hahaha ! Thank you so much. You have just made my day. Oops does it imply because I said day that I am her too :o Wait I just did a smiley too.
Y'all won't have to buy a thing on DSD, everyone will have freebies. Why buy the cow and all.
I didn't understand a damn word she wrote. I still think she's a loser.
This has Shades of Aly written all over it.

I think #78 IS Charly.
Proof your posts before hitting the publish button. It was torture reading that post. Punctuation was the least of the issues. Multiple personalities? You scare me. And so do you.
I don't mind receiving a free collab for orders over $10. I usually spend that much at a store anyway.
I just saw Studio Basics kit for free if you spend $10 and I like it.
I prefer sales 40-50% and $deals.
That is horrible! At least use a couple of periods, and learn how to spell a little bit! Train Wreck!
Why does it say it's from 5-October? I musta read it wrong here. I thought it happened yesterday!
She really needs to stop designing and go back to 4th grade for some work on her writing and spelling.
Yeah, I don't believe a word of her story. If it was true, she would have posted a picture and that would be the end of it.
"Wild Cherry" types the same way as Charly - no punctuation, terrible spelling and grammar
http://wildcherrydesigns.com/blog/2012/10/11/sneak-a-cherry101112/
And their styles are awfully similar:

http://scrapable.co/store/School-Days.html
Seriously, 89. Why would she even bother? If the game is up, it's up. There's no damage control that can be done. Own it.
The no space thing is a dead giveaway. And, yeah, it's bugged me when she's posted here like that.
I also don't use spaces and I'm not her so she's not the only one posting here.
Oscraps has a new Tuesday $2 deals.
That was missing from the site.
I don't understand why designers and shops are retiring and closing now before the busiest season?
Couldn't they have waited til Januray?
62-All I said was that I like Studio Basic. You don't have to if you don't want to. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I buy her things because I think the elements are unique. I'm on several CT's but I buy things from Studio Basic. I like her choice of colors too.

Maybe because sometime life events don't wait until January.
From Charly's blog: Ps..I also wanted to let you know i finally got my Twin Sister Renay into Designing so you will be seeing lots of her stuff around Digiland now.She will be opening her new shop october 1st at a undisclosed store not My store incase your wondering LOL as we prefer to sell at seperate shops and not together as we are together at home 24/7 so online we thought we would try not to be shoved up eachothers butts and follow eachother to there shops:)Anyway…If you like my style you will like hers as we do the same styles.Ok now i am really off to create:)
---------
Where should I start?
Aww, that blog post is no longer available.
Oops I meant the post about the STO situation.
She wasn't smart enough to delete it on her Fan page so here is the post she deleted on her blog.
*********
Their seems to be alot of Drama Lately and i want to give my side of the story,
I have a sister who loved making siggy tags for years and i told her to try out designing that she would Love it,she was iffy at first as she enjoyed making tags,but she tried it and fell in love just like i said,after a few months i told her to try and sell her designs,so she applied at a shop and got accepted,when
she did she had to fill out a contract and send her photo and info for the team page,she told them upfront that she has a twin so don’t be suprised when you see i look like her,they were ok with that,she told them who she was and her design name,that would be me,she spent amonthg etting her kits ready,repackaged to thir template,getting all her kits QC’d by there team,uploading them to ftp,adding to the store and making ads,resigning from her old shop,paying to have Blinkies made,she had her Grand opening and woke up the next morning to a email from the owner,saying they do not like liers at their store and that she is nolonger a Designer at the shop,She emailed them back asking why she was let go and what she lied about,they would not reply to her, the meantime i got emails from my lead ct and a few others wanting to step down immediately due to recent events.
i knew what they were referring to,so i emailed the store myself,explaining to them we were twins actually triplets but only 2 of us design and i thought it was wrong of them to be going around telling there design team and ct members lies and things they do not know the truth about that they should of came to me or my sister for the truth befor assuming we are liers and giving us a bad name.I even said i would send proof we are 2 people,with photos of us together as kids and also adults,I got a email back saying >>>
Awww, there you are. Before you go getting all snotty. Oh wait. That already happened. How professional of YOU. Get a grip.
You and you’re dual personality are still fired. I stated FACT to our CT members, and yes it was behind your back because I removed your access, duh. Charlie Renay. Renay Wild. OH WAIT, now the twins are triplets! Let’s add Jade to the mix too.
Whatever you want to call yourself is fine with me. I won’t have it in my store. Just stop before you trip over your own mouth and another lie again.
I re emailed them saying i could not find anytime to design under 2 names, keep up with 2 fb accounts,2 twitters,2 blogs and 2 pinteres accounts and ct for a few ladies and own a store and run it with a full forum and sell at my other shop and also sell at there store under a name and design for them too,and that my name is Charly Renay yes renay is my middle name,my sisters first name is renay i did not name us that way my mom and Dad did..I am not hiding that my middle name is renay i have charly renay for my facebook account .
My sister tried to find a new store after this mess and gets replies they prefer not to hire her,due to all the Drama and lies going around,so are more blantant that she is a lier and they do not like liers,so it is going beyond just that store they are telling everyone and i feel that is not right if they do not know the truth,well they do as they have been told,but anyway i just wanted you all to know what the deal is and that i do not have multiple personalities,and i am not designing under anouther name.I am Me and Renay is Renay.We are 2 seperate People designing ,we look the same as we are twins.
I hope you all have a wonderful day and sorry for all this Drama:(
Why would she have to defend her "sister"? Why wouldn't her sister provide proof she's not Charly if that's the case?
Doesn't make sense to me.
Why doesn't she just let the sister sell in HER store?
Even if Charly was in the wrong, Jen Yurko was a total unprofessional bitch to her in the email. Then again that is THE Jen Yurko way.
96-I'm not on any CT's and I also love Studio Basic things.
"You scare me. And so do you."
Best comment ever on the blog. 86, can we be friends?
#104 While that may be true, we only saw what Jen wrote in an email...demonizing her while making Charly look like the victim.
Why didn't she post her email she sent to the store? Professional or otherwise, seems a bit suspicious to me.
#107- I didn't say Charly wasn't in the wrong. I just know how much of a raving bitch Jen Yurko is.
I agree with you, 108. I've never interacted with her, but based on that email (which I think is legit, simply because it managed to have spaces in the right spots) I don't want to.
I can't imagine a store owner being that unprofessional!
http://funkyplaygrounddesigns.com/blog/?p=11146
Obviously no one is surprised. Read the comments, looks like one of the trolls from here wandered over to fpd. I feel bad for Cindy having to see crap written about her, she should have to come here for that. Clearly she had no clue how to run a store, it's been sad to see the decline of fpd, it used to be a great site.
Is the 3rd sister Amanda/Lilyanne?
I have nothing to add to this twin/triplet/whatever craziness except that maybe the new mod could edit post 71 to delete the CT's name? This is an anonymous blog, so perhaps we should keep sources anonymous, too.
#111- No it's Aly/Alyssa.
Where should I start?
LMAO
Best comment ever on the blog. 86, can we be friends?
Yes, if you will continue to compliment me. :)
I also don't use spaces and I'm not her so she's not the only one posting here.
Nice try.
It sounds to me like there was more than one email exchanged and what was posted was done to paint Jenn in the worst possible way. Yes, it is bitchy but I'd be pissed too if I felt lied to and who knows what the "twins" said prior to that.
And to think I was pegged as a Charly hater a couple of weeks ago. Where is that person now to defend her?
#111- No it's Aly/Alyssa.
---
I think that "She That Shall Not Be Named" and Charly are "real-life" friends.
#116
That is a scary thought, can you imagine?
Did THH ever think that maybe his sales are low becuz his kits are crap?! It's not the store!
116- God help us all! LOL
"becuz"?
What are you, 11?
FFS Charly/Cherry wtf ever she/he is didn't even bother to customize the templates for GS Creations in that Halloween kit she posted on Wild Cherry sneak peek. Isn't that a violation? The more I read and see the more I see they are twins, IN THE HEAD! Who owns the store with her anyway, anyone know?
113 & 116
No. I am not friends with or related to or associated with the piggy in any way. Just an FYI.
116
But where in the world did you get the idea that I know her in real life? Lol that's funny. Because I swear a few months ago everyone was saying I was faking and didn't exist at all. Make up your minds!!
EGADS! Someone just had to bring the other troll out of the woodwork didn't they.
Oh, SHIT. (eyeroll)
Egads is right.
124
I read here almost every other day waiting to be bought up again so I can have something to say.
Don't want me here, don't bring me up in shit that has nothing to do with me. It's simple.
Hmmmm if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck..wait, maybe it's a twin, or maybe AlyD, or who the hell knows anymore! It would be scary if they were all one and the same! If you don't like being brought up, then keep your nose out of the blog. Talk about glutton for punishment.
This has Shades of Aly written all over it.
----
Why does someone always have to mention her. Get over her already. She doesn't love you.
If I don't like being bought up then keep my nose out of the blog? How does that make any sense? I'm going to be bought whether I read here or not. Who said I don't like it though? Lol. Its everyone else that has a problem with the "troll" being here. I'm not the one complaining. I quite like the attention. If you've been reading here long enough, you'd know that.
#122- LOL @ piggy. I missed you.
62-All I said was that I like Studio Basic. You don't have to if you don't want to.
--------
And all I asked was how is her product unique and funky compared to other products. NO need to get all defensive with the 'don't like it don't buy it'. It wasn't necessary
85
Lol. I missed that one. But no, it doesn't have shades of "Aly" written all over it. It has YOUR version of shades of Aly written all over it.
I don't like Jen Yurko because she is a bitch like someone else says. So I would never apply to her store and I doubt she would ever take me. :D She is a liar herself so I don't see where she has room to talk about Charly.
131
Wish I knew who you were. :)
Paislee Press is going to TLP. I just thought I'd toss that one out there.
And Brenian, the CT member who told has always seemed Shady to me. So I'm not surprised she's the one who told.
How do you guys feel about designers (who CT for stores that they don't sell at) and spend more time in the forums there than in the shop they sell at?
Okay I've been keeping this to myself for too long. Whenever I see Hummie post on a forum, I swear to god I want to pull my hair out. Is she lacking any formal communication skills through online outlets or is it just me?
It seems like anything someone posts that questions her wording, she gets super defensive and then blames it on "not being able to distinguish tone in text form". If that isn't a cop out I don't know what is, I can read tone fine when posting on forums.
137
Maybe the store sucks and they are only there until they can get the design gig at the store they really want to be at.
I have nothing to add to this twin/triplet/whatever craziness except that maybe the new mod could edit post 71 to delete the CT's name? This is an anonymous blog, so perhaps we should keep sources anonymous, too.
----
No. She wrote it, it's not anyone's business to police posts on this blog.
Jen Yurko was a total unprofessional bitch to her in the email.
-----
That was a PRIVATE email. Charly had no business posting that on the blog. It would have been unprofessional behavior if Jen posted that comment in the forum, on FB or a blog, but it wasn't. Contrary to what some of you think, owners are people and they aren't always professional when they are angry. Wow, who would have thunk it?
I'm not for Jen or Charly, just a person who doesn't expect others to uphold standards she can't always maintain herself.
Why would she have to defend her "sister"? Why wouldn't her sister provide proof she's not Charly if that's the case?
Doesn't make sense to me.
------
This.

It annoys me no end.
#141- You would "thunk" that even if it's a private email it can be used against you at a later time. So if she was "thunking" she would have kept herself more professional.
I used thunk on purpose. It's an expression.
Some people.
So if she was "thunking" she would have kept herself more professional.
-----
She was angry and pissed of and probably not thinking. It happens. Yes, she probably should have stepped back, but it's no always easy to do.
#139 I'm new here and I don't know who you are. What is your design name?
#114 Get over yourself and stop being a smartass.I'm a different poster,a customer and I type without leaving spaces.Is that so hard to believe?FYI I've writen 20-30 posts here so far.
Actually she used the word thunk properly, even though it has no real use in "proper language". Yes, going grammar nazi here but it's a simple past tense of think... who would've thunk that?
Saying you've written 20-30 posts here is like saying you're an ewe in a field of female sheep.
#149 WTF?
Great! The wanna-be grammar troll is back. (not you, #148, you are right: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thunk)
Seriously, lighten up, #144!
#148- I know she used it in the right way. I just felt the need to be a bit trollish today.
Must be the halloween season, the trolls won't stay away! Haha.
it's hAlloween all year here, then!
@150
An Ewe is a female sheep. I was merely saying that stating your post count here is pretty much redundant since most everyone is anonymous anyway.
I'm #147
#149 My comments on this page only are:
8,11,12,18,20,24,26,31,34,40,44,46,50,87,93,94,95,147,150. Total 19.
So I've posted more than 50 total.
Someone a few days ago told me to use the space bar and I'm trying since.LOL!
I proved my point that I'm not this crazy twin-triplet designer.
#155 Ok I understand I'm just trying to prove that I'm not crazy what's her name and that I don't use the space bar either. LOL!
@156
No one cares, except you.
You could just use the space bar. Try it. You'll look smart(er) and then you won't be the evil twin designer.
#159 Hahaha hilarious!
I'm smarter than you'll ever be!I don't need a spacebar to prove it.
My paycheck and my lifestyle proves everything.
#160- Yet here you are.
Just saying that proves you're a douche.
@161
Jinx. You owe me a coke! :D (Oh no, smiley!)
159
It proves nothing because no one knows what it is.
#163- With ice?
I work on my pc all day so I need my daily smack dose for fun.
#162 I hope you're not a designer I buy from.
#166- How in the world do you get all that work done?
#That's called being smart and having assistants.And no my job has nothing to do with Digital Scrapbooking.I'm just a loyal customer.
I also have 15 open tabs this minute.I'm working while I'm smacking. :)

Um, no. Smart people don't feel the need to boast about their paychecks and lifestyle.
I have a feeling there are too many SAHM's here that haven't been laid in a while and are letting all their frustration out on digismack.
#173 True!I agree.
There's no other way I can prove it through an anonymous blog.

I get irritated with designers who are active at other stores where they CT then where they sell at. Some designers require you to be active at the store they sell at but they can't do the same. It shows a lack of respect to the store owner.
Do SAHMs get laid less than "working" mums? Wish someone would tell my other half that, I'd be ok with a break for a while.
141-You only have Charly's word that that was what Jen said in an email. Charly is a known liar. Why would you believe that? Looks like you want to believe Jen is unprofessional. I've had dealings with her and she's always been professional with me.
#187- Just because you say she's professional doesn't make it so.
188-I believe I said she was professional with ME.

Can we move out of the playground now?
#192- I didn't say it made it so either. The stuff I hear from different people about Jen Yurko are more negative than anything positive.
I don't understand why she just doesn't post the pictures of her and her twin/ triplet on the blog as proof that the allegations are false. That would be a simple enough solution to the problem.
---
No it wouldn't. Photos are very easy to manipulate.
No it wouldn't. Photos are very easy to manipulate.
-----------------------
But no photo at all is suspicious though. And if you look in galleries where moms have twins or triplets, you can see variety of poses that can hardly be manipulated. I am sure twins would have lots of pics of them together, from childhood to adulthood; birthdays, outings, first day of school, family portraits, etc.

Anything can be manipulated. You'd be surprised.
-----------------
I agree, but showing quickly 10 photos of siblings should be easier with real twins than manipulating 10 photos. Not impossible, but a quick display of several photos probably would have settle things instead of keeping a cloud of suspicion because nothing is prooving her right.

What do you care if it annoys me? No skin off your back.
However, to answer your question, it annoys me as a designer in a store to see other designers not pulling their weight, because they are too busy elsewhere. If they have no interest in the store they are selling at, the should have the decency to move on.
