Hey there.. me again.. :)

today i have a new page from such a soft and pretty new kit by Palvinka Designs..
its called Step by Step and is available right now at Shabby Pickle Designs..
below is my page and here is the link at DST.. and then the kit previews..

and now.. im going to have a bit of a rant.. so im off to get my soapbox out of storage
:)

Yesterday i witnessed some totally prejudicial behavior at a major scrap site..
Apparently.. by the powers that be at this particular site.. if you do a scrap.. especially a fantasy type or extraction type/scene and use a stock image.. then.. its simply nothing but advertising..
A LO designer was singled out and a thread started about this..
now my take on scrapping is its not only about family photos.. but about artistic expression..
there are so many different styles and i love them all..
so many different ways to use a kit... thats what is so magical about it all.. its all in the interpretation..
now how.. these particular Admin people can be so narrow minded is beyond me..
and how some people can make statements about a scrap being meaningless if it has no
'memory/sentimental' value..
im like wow.. do people really think in this way.. what about all the RAKs that are made.. although not your own memories.. they are someones.. and why are they deemed to be meaningless??
how is a scrap LO designer supposed to grow? how do we extend ourselves if we were all to think this way?
and why does a LO have to have sentimental meaning [ie photos of your own children] to be actually classed as a scrap.. it was mentioned that those of us who use the extraction/scene style are not really scrapbookers.. but artbookers..
HUH??????????

and why.. are those of us who love to try something different and dont just make the same 'traditional' pages are accused of just making pages for advertising purposes only..
yep im raving.. i was soo grrrrrrrrrr about all this yesterday..
what about scrapbooking makes it that is has to stagnate and not evolve?
what rules are there regarding style?
its just blown me all away and i just had to have a rant on here about it all..
anyway.. the thread has been killed..
maybe those of us who opposed it and stood up for what we believe in made them feel so insecure that they couldnt allow it to be viewed any longer.. or maybe they just realised how their words and actions were going to be perceived by the scrapping world as word got around..
who knows their reasons...
but.. what i do know.. is my gallery is gone from there [ i removed it myself] and i wont be posting a page there again..

ok thanks for listening..im sure i have repeated myself.. over and over
:)

I think most people would know about the destiny collab but in case you dont..
here is what its about [below]
its available now at ScrapArtist
this is my page from the collab
and the link to it on DST

It's a collaboration by Bohemian Art, Dianne Rigdon, HGD by Laurie Ann from ScrapArtist and ad77design, Design by Snoopy, Jk2x, Palvinka Designs, PST Designs, Sarahh Graphics, Viky and Zalinka.

Once upon a time there was a very happy couple. They had not a fairy-tale life, one of their four children being too soon diagnosed with a fatal, progressive disease SMA (spinal muscular atrophy), confining her to a wheelchair at age 2 and to constant care (exercise, lifting, positioning in sleep, even sitting, as she is like a rag-doll, limp but lively and bright). It was hard but they had each other to share their fears nad hopes, the work and care, the constant love they had for each other. And then the Fate struck again - her innocent husband was killed in a traffic accident. She stayed alone to face and fight her Destiny...

We, her virtual friends, decided to help her, if not by offering our distand hands, then at least by offering our art to collect some money to patch the most urgent needs of her family, especially the expensive sitting and moving aids for her lovely Klara.

All the profits from the sale of this kit will be donated to the Diny family to her transparent account.

This product is only available for a limited time. Please click to bohemianart.blogspot.com for more info about this kit and small surprise.
