To Use or Not To Use - Thats The Question !

2008-05-08T00:38:00.006-04:00

Well after being gone from the net for a week n a half i came back only to find that ever loved "drama" is floating around. Isnt it always? I have to constantly laugh at the extent some people who have nothing else better to do,will go through, just to get a rile and make other peoples lives remotely horrible.

First off... sorry for the HORRIBLE layout... will get one of my own up as soon as my days n nights settle some. Now onto the reason im writing...

Seems myself and a few others that i consider friends were all ridiculed for our scrap ability or lack there of,accoding to those who wrote the blog. Now, i have never, nor will i ever, claim to be perfect. Nor do i ever give off that vibe to ANYONE. If anything, i am quite the opposite. Its taken over two years for my friends to push me hard enough to actually show and share layouts i've done, from other peoples talented digital scrap creations. i've recently started attempting to creat my own is... notice i said ATTEMPT. Of course there are flaws, of course there are things that i could of done differently and better. And never once have i ever claimed that i could do things others do, but better nor do i ever plan to. my purpose for starting to make scrap bits n pieces on my own... was out of pure hobby. Not for accusations and drama days filled with finger pointing and name calling. Last time i checked, i finished elementay shool years ago. But, i guess even after being finished with school... you will always have those who choose to continue to think that life is just one big playground to try ( note i said TRY) to be the bully to others who do nothing wrong. One day they'll find out all about that lil thing we call karma.

Now onto the reason for the title. Seems some scrappers do not believe in using CU(commercial use) stuff in their kits. By CU i mean... using a ribbon or tag that you need to colourize or add a bit of your own flair n touch to be able to use it in your new kits for people to download.

If you go to just about Any scrap blog... surely there is use of someone elses CU item or items. Why do you think other scrappers make these items? Surely not to sit and collect blog or shop dust correct? ive seen MANY well known scap makers have an item in their kits... made from another CU piece or action.... many times. So why do peole feel they need to sit and belittle those who use the CU things? Ive yet to figure out the stupidity on that one... but as soon as i figure it out, ill let you know. When it comes down to it... im sure they have used a CU item or two in their scrap making times as well. ... isnt that pretty much the pot calling the kettle black? Thought so.

So, what did the bloggers get from running their mouths and proving that they can say a cuss word or two?... (btw.. we all can say things like they have). Does sayin damn or ass or anything else in the lines of cuss words make you feel like such the adult? Big deal... we can all say them. Just most of us know how to say them in a grown up manner. And then there are those like i said earlier... who choose to live on the playground instead of growing up. Was being the way you chose to be on those blogs really worth it all in the end? Was it truely worth losing the respect of friends and fellow bloggers n scrappers? If it was... then maybe romper room is the place for you, not online behind a big screen, having full access to the real big net.

Am i angry that i was mentioned on this blog? not at all. im better than that. Do i regret using CU items in my scrap kits? NO!! i pay for them, so why shouldnt i use them? Do i sit here doing a bunch of 4 year old name calling? No. But i will say something to put someone i their place if they choose to be the one to throw the first punch or say the first word. Will there be negative comments about my post here? Probably. But i can do something that those who get soeasily frustrated... cant do and thats laugh,roll my eyes, and feel sorry for the person or people who have nothing else better to do than visit blogs and leave comments that "try" and make them look all big, bad and inferior.

i have the utmost respect for my fellow scrappers. i admire the talents of so many creators.. to list them all,would be impossible and in the end be a pretty damn long list. Never once have i claimed to be better than anyone... nor have i cracked or negatively commented on ANYONES work. Encouragement is the number one key in building a good scrapper. give as much of it as you can and those people will be there when you need your own encouragement chat. im sure other scrappers... have their "cliques" that they prefer hanging out with. Who doesnt. But, true and respectable scappers also remember that they too were beginners at one point. They too sat and wondered how'd they do that, or sent an email looking for guidance on something they're trying to learn. !!! WE ALL HAD TO START SOMEWHERE !!!!! We all have that first kit that we cringe at when we look at it.. and think... omg... what was i thinking, sharing this!!!If you cant stop, sit back and say to yourself... i was new to all this once too. i made mistakes in the past, i did things i could of done better....then maybe sitting at the computer, making scrap kits and posting in forums being a fake, isnt something you should be doing. Leave it to those who can give scrapping a good name. Just because you dont see a face when you sit down at your computer, doesnt mean that the person on the other side... reading your comments... doesnt have feelings. Everyone has feelings. Some just have more than others.

Now... here is the question... Do you use CU stuff? If so... why? If not... Why? Would you ever choose to use them if you dont now? How long have you used CU things in your kits. Do you make CU thing for others to use in their kits? (If you do... bless you... because if not for people like you.... others wouldnt have one grain of possible scrap designing encouragement..its because of you CU stuff makers that so many of us little people get up the nerve to try and make things on our own & i personally thank you for that little extra jolt of encouragement to us not so naturally talented scrappers)

Im curious as to what you think about the use of CU bits in kits and why... so feel fre to leave a comment. But please note... any harassing comments... ip#'s will be reported to your server and to blogger. So lets keep it respectable and clean adult please. Theres no call names nor need to throw your toys out the pram, get your nappy(diaper) in a twist n start throwing a tizzy.

If ive upset anyone by this post... im truely sorry..it wasnt my intention. my only intention was to give my insight on a few things ive read and noticed lately..if ive pi$$ed you off, do the right thing, close my blog.. open up photoshop n create something, or go for a walk or just get up away from your pc.... anything besides post a rant on my blog.... thats not desired or advised :)

Thanks everyone for reading... and Thank you again to all the other srappers for doing and creating what you do.... keep up the amazing work everywhere

It didnt turn out how i planned, infact i planned to add much more than whats in this kit, but, i got sick of looking @ the colours. i've come to the conclusion that maybe i should just stick to the darker colours for kits lol.
