I was Googling yesterday and came across this old blog post of a listing of TONS of designers and the stores they are in! It is sad to see how many stores have closed and designers that have stopped designing :( I am listed on there as Jennifer Howland, I was at The Digi Chick at the time, and it says Scrap Quick is my second store...I don't even remember what that store was!!! :floorlaugh: Anyhoodle, I thought some of you guys who have been around since the early 2000's might enjoy looking at the list for the memories... :beatingheart:

A to Z Designer List

Where do I even begin? There are sooooo many fabulous designers out there. And so many wonderful stores! So here is an alphabetical list. It is a bit hard to keep track of them all - many have their own...

Wow that's quite a list!! So many shops I never heard of. I actually created a database of all of my purchased kits. It makes it easy when I do challenges and I need to know what store I purchased what at. So the main spreadsheet has everything on it, but I have pages for each shop. I have the kit name, a preview photo, the category, type, designer, shop and purchase price, lol. I have a second spreadsheet organized by designer so I know that I have from them. I love it!! It took me a long time to create it, but now it's just maintenance.

That is AWESOME!!!! You go, girl :bowdown::beatingheart:
 
Good grief, there were so many stores....... but quite a few after this time as well. Mscraps was one and there was a site called Marouuska or something like that and I was on the CT there. And some stores too, just think of them off the top of my head. What a big list designers too! I have not heard from a lot of them but quite a few very familiar!! lol!! What a rabbit hole to disappear down! :giggle4:

What a bittersweet walk down memory lane. I have always been here at the O (@wombat146 says since Moses came down with the tablets :lol23: ) but I spend some time at NDISB, Two Peas in Bucket, Scrap Girls, and then Mscraps.
So sad to see how many are gone.

I was at Mscraps for a while until it closed! It was a wonderful store :heartpumplove:
 
I recognize so many of them - so many that I was on their CT's and wondered where they had gone to as well. Seems so many just dropped off the face of the earth when certain stores closed. So sad!

I know...I had gotten to know so many of them at the different stores I was in, chatting at DST, actually talking on the phone with several of them! And then also seeing that they quit designing when they were SO GOOD!! Amanda Rockwell and Jen Wilson were two of my favorites...it is sad to not see their beautiful creations anymore :crying1:

I remember Scrap Quick, well sort of, it was a quick page only site that was designed as more of a photo kiosk maybe before Shutterfly etc had pre-made drop in albums. So people ordered prints or printed albums, they didn't buy kits like other stores if I remember right.
I remember they had a lot of rules, I CT'd for Christine Smith at The Digichic at that stage who is on that time warp list (it's a bit 'where are they now') & so I think the deal was ScrapQuick bought the rights to a specific kit & the CT supplied generic QP's & what I remember most is the machine/program limited people to how much they could rotate a photo so any 'photo spot' in the QP PNG could be tilted a max of +/-4 degrees and pretty much 4x6 so pages were really photo centric & blocky! (& I could spot a 4 degree tilt in my sleep after that!)

I have a stash of these guys too (umm probably on a burnt cd or DVD before EHDs...) I did wonder if Jen Wilson just got snapped up by a paper company & was part of Basic Grey or some other company that either still exist or has since shut down - there's probably a list like this for paper companies too

Ha ha At the moment I feel like Moses never mind the tablets!
I was at several of the ones on the list as a CT then went to the Digi Chick for many years.It was so sad when Kim passed away. She was so talented and kind. After than I was lucky enough to be asked to come here where I have stuck like glue.

I was on Kim's CT when she was at Digitals (Stacey Mann) but stayed in touch with her when she took over the Digi Chick. I sure miss her.

Oh my, what an amazing list! I see my name is on there. I designed at several stores (can't even remember the names at the moment, would have to look back on my EHDs), but KB and Friends is listed for me. Katheryn Balint was my design mentor and I designed for her store too. My design name was b.j.designs. I just saw the date that article was updated, and now I'm in tears: 10-23-08. That was the month and year I stopped designing, scrapping, basically everything, as it was the month and year my husband unexpectedly passed away due to a reaction to a prescribed medication. I never returned to designing, as he was my biggest fan and encourager, but years later I came to the O on a couple of Designer teams, and now as a Cheery O. I suppose once the scrap scene is in your blood, you can't entirely get rid of it. :)

Yes! I loved being on your CT too! I think my favorite kit of yours was Wisteria! I still have your kits. I should say had as my EHD they were on crashed!
