BarbaraC1977 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I noticed that MRE Melissa Renfro seems to be retiring; all her products are on sale. I'm so glad I already have Bright Canyon, Brush Set: Downtown, Actions: Photo Basics and so many other products she designed. Has anyone noticed other designers who are retiring?

BarbaraC1977 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Aww, looks like JRA Jan Ransley is also retiring. I love the edgers and embossed ScrapSimple papers she sold: http://store.scrapgirls.com/ScrapSimple-Paper-Templates-Edgers-Midwinter.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesann Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I hope not, for both of them. I love their work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yes, both of their stores will be retiring. Neither have released alot in the last few years. Melissa is busy with her boys, and life. This was a hard decision for her to make but she new it was the right one. Of course I have told her she's always welcome back Jan has moved onto cake decorating and baking. If she ever decides to go back to design work she's always welcome back. The is the only 2 designers in the retiring sell that won't be returning. We are also retiring all of the Lettering Delight fonts we have in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsoarty Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Yes, so sad, I'll miss them, but so lucky to have so much of their stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaraj Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 That means we can't use their kits for challenges, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraC1977 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I always thought we could anything in our stash from ScrapGirls, from any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 You can always use any SG products for challenges! We'd love to see active products so that we can buy them ourselves, but retired products are ok, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes, I always use all my SG Products! My biggest problem is remembering what I have and sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised to be reaqainted with something again once I come across it!

barbaraj Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 But isn't it different if a designer is no longer in the store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having 10 years worth of SG products to include past clubs... that would be hard to NOT use them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LissaD Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 YES! I am retiring my store. Thank you all for being so great and encouraging. I am going to miss the challenge of designing. I loved doing the clubs over the past few years. They kept me in the game, but as Angie said I am so busy with life right now, I can't really join in as much as I would like. I am excited to see all of the changes in the store and all the new designers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creative Team members are required to use current products for their newsletter and blog layouts, but otherwise, if it was purchased at ScrapGirls, it is fine to use for your challenges.
