I think this is sad – on a lot of levels. I was part of a scrapping group for a while and there were some extremely spiteful people in it. They would snipe about people when they didn’t show up for scrap night and some of them actually lashed out at others over silly stuff. It caused the group to split. This reminds me of that…I guess its like junior high/high school all over again – Mean Girls wasn’t just a movie!

I forgot one thing-one other woman voluntarily withdrew her items when the stuff broke about the other woman, who was published in the annual issue. So there were at least two cheaters. I wonder if either would have said anything had the other kept quiet?

What Newsweek reported was only the tip of the scandal. Several online sites and blogs have been hashing it blow by blow. Many are no longer going to renew their subscriptions as the CK magazine has been sold and has changed (did you see the first new issue?) The people in forums were having their posts deleted etc. It was not good and the Newsweek article really just glossed it over. I never would submit anything to any of the craft rags. Many submitters scrap just for that and cutthroat is right. Not worth the scrutiny or the non-existent integrity of the editorial staffs.

Sole work, eh? Does that mean the hall of famers should be making their own paper, embellishments, stickers and adhesives too? Get real people! If the pages created are awesome and they aren’t a complete rip off of someone else’s work, who cares? Isn’t the whole point to inspire others to create? It’s a shame to see such behavior.
