Albums created from cardboard are all the go right now. In this world we live in all things are created from and idea - from an idea - from an idea. I have taught scrapbook classes and I have seen many things recreated not with intention to claim as ones own but to share a technique or simply an idea. I am sadden to see you are attacking someone that loves the industry as much as you, someone that just wants to help others be creative too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456825401091747649.post-54640707887211706972008-05-09T14:35:00.000-06:002008-05-09T14:35:00.000-06:00First of all I want to say I am so sorry that othe...First of all I want to say I am so sorry that others have done such things to you Lori. <BR/><BR/>I must say I am a little shocked at the outlasting against ICE for what other people have done to you. ICE had NOTHING to do with Candice or Melody Ross 'ripping you off".<BR/><BR/>Candice is a teacher, representing Paper Cottage which is a sponsor of ICE. This arrangement was set up long before Paper Cottage featured the onesie class at their store. I too was quite shocked when I saw it displayed. And I agree it wasn’t right. Although I have not been the one directly working with you on your classes at ICE, I was under the impression that everything had been worked out and you were going to be teaching a new and awesome class. <BR/><BR/>As for Melody Ross, I’m at a loss for words. After reading what she has done to you I can understand you being upset. However; how were we (ICE) to know about it. Melody along with several other scrappin celebrities were invited to come to ICE. Melody accepted. I did not know of anything between you & her. And really how am I to know every little thing going on in the scrapping world?<BR/><BR/> I am sorry, we are just scrappers just like you. We wanted to bring something great and fun and huge to the Treasure Valley. Something that we all as scrappers have been waiting for YEARS to come to Idaho. I can tell you I have spent 60+ hours a week for months planning & creating this event . I have put my very heart and soul into ICE, and It saddens me very much to be bashed for something we never did. I’m sorry that you didn’t come to us first to discuss your thoughts and feelings, I’m sorry that so many are choosing to “pull out” because of a wrong that someone else caused you. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow I wanted to set the record straight. ICE is not the one to blame. <BR/><BR/>With a very heavy heart, best regards<BR/>Heather HillmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456825401091747649.post-88013967401925979972008-05-09T11:33:00.000-06:002008-05-09T11:33:00.000-06:00I've already e-mailed you y thoughts, but you know...I've already e-mailed you y thoughts, but you know, I know, and so many others knows how creative your heart abd soul are.

I said to the gal behind the counter that this was a copy of class I took at Paper Cottage. She looked puzzled. This is scrapbooking and credit should be given to where credit is due. I am also an elementary teacher and am often asked...where did you get that idea and I always give the teacher that loaned me the idea the credit...so important. we learn from each other and there is no shame in saying, I got this idea from this fabulous person. It does indeed show RESPECT AND HONESTY. I will e-mail paper cottage on this too. I think the more folks that say something, the better. As far as MR is concerned, when I heard about how she ripped you off...I have not bought another CB product again. She was WRONG to do that. I am sorry to hear that she is the featured speaker. I am glad I am not going. I do hope that you have the opportunity to teach again...you have a gift for design and inspiration. Come back to teaching soon...<BR/><BR/>Meghan McDoanghAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456825401091747649.post-9631020614792072502008-05-08T12:11:00.000-06:002008-05-08T12:11:00.000-06:00Hi Lori - I am sorry to hear that this has happene...Hi Lori - I am sorry to hear that this has happened to you. I think that it is crap. I have also e-mailed PC to let them know that the idea of hers is not original and that even though we are allowed to scaplift others ideas we should not be turning around and using them as our ideas and gaining a profit on them. When I saw the onesie in there I was glad you were teaching a class again - however reading the fine print it was NOT you :( I hope that PC will come to their senses and remove the class from their scheulde. I know perhaps it does not solve the entire issue but at least they can attempt to rectify the situation and perhaps screen their classes a little more. I have noticed that some of the instructors are also copying a prior instructors style rather than attempting to be unique in their own way. <BR/><BR/>I was hoping to see you and Kelly at ICE Escape but not sure if I will go now or not. People that have no integrity and act like something they are not as not very much fun to be around. <BR/><BR/>Hope you have a good day and now that I am rambling I will sign off :)<BR/><BR/>Talk to you soon,<BR/>GinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456825401091747649.post-34003861847164610122008-05-08T08:24:00.000-06:002008-05-08T08:24:00.000-06:00Lori,My feelings and your about MR are the same.

I knew about the MR video and I think that STINKS! Think of how many others she has dome the same thing to. I know of three that she has. I think at least she could have asked...but then again...look who your dealing with. I use to admire the woman long, long ago. I sure as heck have changed my mind. Scrapping is to be fun and a social time for us all. I treasure the good people that I have scrapped with and thank God that everyone of them are great and good friends. I am sorry for your designs being "used" in the face of "their" designs. You are the bigger person my dear friend....remember that.<BR/>I', backing out as well and so will my friends be.<BR/>Hugs dear one.<BR/>JannJannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16987426986739934729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3456825401091747649.post-68838629093144820462008-05-08T07:43:00.000-06:002008-05-08T07:43:00.000-06:00Melody Ross speaking is a joke.
