Sounds like we have a couple of unicorns in from the main board trying to start something. Just keep your cool fellas, keep it real and ignore trolls.

If you think about it, we're the real 'trolls'. Handslap? I'll bitchslap you. :D
Also, not gonna lie but this cracked me up:

First!
ReplyDeleteFuck......why cant I ever be first?
ReplyDeleteNichole's countdown post is not up yet. Did she know that DST starts today ?
ReplyDeleteIt is 8:30 so she is late even without DST. Everyone else managed to get their posts up, even Melissa.
ReplyDeleteMaybe she quit?
ReplyDeleteNow almost 10:00 and no posts. Maybe even she can't make these stamp sets look good.
ReplyDeleteLOL at "maybe she quit".
Said in my best whiny voice....oh but its the weekend and you know she has a family!!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I've made it to the big leagues. Did I get my handslapped? What? Awesome.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Cheeky
ReplyDeleteHandslap away, but some of y'all gve gotten mean lately.
ReplyDelete*have. Grr.
DeleteWell done Barbara!
ReplyDeleteThat post from cindycherry was a total bitch move and so unnecessary!
"I can't find links to the new designers on Nichole's blog. Guess I am too lazy to go to the announcement last month, so I haven't been looking at their creations. :crybaby:"
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up! There's this thing called "Google"! Or you could look @ her post from yesterday.
@8:19
ReplyDeleteReally? This board is tame compared to the old PTI Smack board. I don't get involved in the personal smacking myself but handslapping on this board is ridiculous. If you don't like being "mean" you may want to move along and find that other "nicer" smack board.
I wish I could be like Barbara. So eloquent but she gets her point across.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara!!! Just what I wanted to say, but all I kept coming up with was not nice. You are a lady!
ReplyDeleteI try not to be mean if that helps.

Let's all be friends.♥
Excuse me for asking a possible repeat question...
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Maile Belles? I just caught up on her posts from the past 3 weeks and noticed that the last post is from late February.
What's going on?
I have been reading and posting here for only a few weeks now. It is getting too mean and the personal attacks and language being used is making me rethink being part of this group. I am just as frustrated with PTI as the rest of you but there is no reason to become vicious and vile toward others.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with anyone or anything here. I know what this blog is and if I don't like it I can walk away.
ReplyDelete9:27 this wasn't aimed at you. Your post was not up when I typed this.
ReplyDeleteAnd out of no where Cindy Coutts shows up!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to hold my tongue, because she's hypocrisy at it's finest.
Let's keep it polite and professional, huh? Is that why you tried to call out Nichole on the forum last year because she used "your" concept without given credit?! Oh, right, you're the only one to ever think to put scripture into stamp form.
Sorry, vent over. That woman just drives me nuts!
What cracks me up with Cindy Coutts is she copied just the one comment. I see someone reminded her what started all that.
ReplyDeleteI notice a lot of the PTI DT only post at release time or when old sets are revisited. Perhaps they don't feel the love for this company so much anymore either. You know, just a job, do only what I get paid to do. If I were a member of this DT and I read all the comments, I would have a difficult time being a rah-rah supporter.
ReplyDeleteNichole is giving everyone the Silent Treatment.
ReplyDelete9:40: LOL. that was awesome, almost made me spit my drink out.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to weigh your words until we find out that something is not terribly wrong with Nichole's situation. In this day and age of cell phones, texting, etc. no matter where she is she would be getting messages from her boss, you would think.
ReplyDeleteRe: Maile Bells... My prediction is that she is pregnant.
ReplyDeleteHas Nichole ever been late with a post? I normally don't watch the count down, so I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteFor reals this time...Ted is posting again.
ReplyDeletehttp://forum.papertreyink.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32919
He's starting up a new community. I'm going to check it out.
Yes, she's been late before. Especially when the posts went up at midnight. And even since they've gone to 7:00. But never hours and hours past due with no communication.
ReplyDeletehaha, no communication, that's funny!
Hopefully,it's nothing more than setting a post to go live at pm instead of am. Ask me how I know that one.
@9:57
ReplyDeleteErin is pg and she's still posting.
That said, I think Maile spends most of her time designing stamps or doing cards for publication. There's really no money in blog posts. She often goes weeks without posting.
Here is an idea if you don't want to buy from Papertrey but want the PTI look:
ReplyDeletehttp://rubystamper.blogspot.com/2012/03/pti-release-case-using-what-i-already.html
Ugh. You couldn't pay me to join Ted's sandbox. I can't imagine the drivel. I hope someone does join though to pass along the good bits. Btw, why is it okay for Ted to post this link?
ReplyDeleteNichole has been consisently late with her posts for years. Don't know why anyone is getting their panties in a bunch now???

NO freaking WAY! Please link this!! I CAN'T stand Cindy for so many reasons. She is a drama queen to the NTH degree. She has been a shit disturber over on SCS for years now. So I am not surprised she is causing crap on the PTI forum.
I just did a quick peek at all of the DT blogs. Only Dawn and Heather have posted today (so far). Yet 5 of the DT members posted yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the monthly countdown important to PTI? I would think that all DT members would be "hands on board" at this time each month.
Is this the usual behavior?
From scrapjem on the "Can I just say..." thread:
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like PTI anymore (for whatever reason), fine, don't buy, don't come to the forums. It's really quite simple.
Is it really that simple? Bitch.
Ted is starting a forum? I knew he couldn't stay away for long.
ReplyDeleteIt's Sunday. Nichole is at church, praying to sweet baby Jesus to save PTI and the house that stamps built.
ReplyDeleteSorry, 10:26, I think it was in the 'Ask Papertrey' board and is gone now - I just looked through her post history and couldn't find it.
ReplyDeleteBasically, when Beautiful Blessings was introduced, CC came onto the forum asking NH why she didn't give her credit for her idea, or include her in the design process, since she had sent that *exact* same concept to NH months before. NH came back and compared the idea CC had submitted to Beautiful Blessings, and they weren't anything alike. I believe she also linked to several threads requesting scripture sets
It was one of the few times I thought any snarkiness in NH's post was completely warranted, and absolutely hysterical!
How convenient for Ted to have to approve membership for his own forum.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wuss.
So Cindi Coutts basically said she had given Nichole the idea for the scripture set and Nichole refuted that with quotes?
ReplyDeleteYes, that's it exactly, 11:16.
ReplyDeleteWake up Nichole thread is gone. I am thinking something is really wrong.
ReplyDeleteWTF is this posted in Techniques & Tutorials? I call BS on it being an accident. I think someone didn't want to post this in Stamping Talk to hide it, so ppl could talk badly about those in Stamping Talk.
ReplyDeletehttp://forum.papertreyink.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=32663
Wow, the nerve.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Jennifer! Good to see you're doing your job...locking the Can I just say thread and removing the Wake up Nichole thread. Awesome...
ReplyDeleteso who won the bet? Mary's "Can I just say" thread slammed shut by Jenn at 3:21 am (?!?) today. She was either sleeping at the computer or willing to let dissent have a voice for a little longer than usual.
ReplyDeleteJen is back! Can I just say... has been locked. Too bad that CC won't be able to keep telling everyone how wrong we all are, and how she doesn't appreciate certain posts.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - the "wake up, Nichole" thread is gone. What's going on??
ReplyDeleteSeriously, is anyone surprised? Of course they locked the one thread and deleted the other...
ReplyDelete158 views and ZERO responses. Must not be much pent up demand for a sunshine, glitter and unicorns crafters' community.
ReplyDeleteDrum roll...
ReplyDeleteAnd NICHOLE HAS FINALLY POSTED...
And, I have to say, it's thorough as usual. I wonder if she did it all this morning and that's why it was delayed.
Two of the DT members also recently posted...maybe there was something wrong with typepad...
ReplyDeletemaybe it is a new marketing ploy - "let's delay our posts a little while to see if our sheeple are desperately missing us."
ReplyDeleteRight up there with their past marketing ploy of "let's drum up ridiculous excited for stamp sets we didn't order enough of for the upcoming release and play dumb when people get upset when things are out of stock 3 minutes into the release."
I just have to say that I have never seen Nichole post and ugly card and some of those are downright ugly and the rest are only so-so. Think she is pulling back and saving her talent for somewhere else?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...Nichole has a mistake in her post. She has the word "text" (as if it were a placeholder) under one of her pictures. Perhaps she started the post yesterday and then meant to finish it this morning and got around to it late...
ReplyDeleteI don't think Jenn would know what a true personal attack was unless it licked her ass! She is dumb as fuck!
ReplyDeleteI think Nichole is a top notch designer and card maker, but not feling the love for her cards in todays post.
ReplyDelete@12:00
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying that, I didn't know if it was just me or what.
I thought her cards were quite beautiful.
ReplyDelete^^^ I also thought Nichole's cards were beautiful today. To each their own!
ReplyDeleteI was NOT feeling Melissa's nor Lizzie's layouts today. In fact, I'm not sure I have ever liked their stuff.
When I saw the first card in Nichole's post, I really thought something (else) had backfired on the technical front and I was looking at a post from a couple of years ago. I re-checked the title, realized it was current, and kept scrolling through the most uninspiring stuff I've ever seen her do. I say this as a big fan of her work. Even sets I don't like, she can do something interesting with.
ReplyDeleteWow. Maybe she's sick, or has other distractions outside the company stuff. It was hard not to wonder.
Maybe shes feeling the mental and emotional strain.......woohoo smack is doin its job!!!'
DeleteWhat is going on would make me lose my mojo too. It really shows that things are not well with her.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts on day 2:
ReplyDelete1234 card - my first thought was OMG, I'm losing my sight, I can't see colors anymore!!! Then I adjusted and thought what does 1234 have to do with "A big congrats to you."
Orange Zest and Raspberry Fizz together prove my eyes still work but that combo makes my head hurt.
I read the sentiment in Pine's set as "Good Celebrate Times" which makes no sense.
Tage 6 is just plain fugly. Looks like it was designed by a committee. "I like this top." "But look at this cute edge." "Let's put them together and call it done."
And why is the sentiment "just hatched" when the eggs are clearly not hatched?
Definitely not her best work.
I missed the end of the "Somebody should wake up Nichole" thread. The last post that I saw was somebody asking Cloiseaux if she really thinks that it is her fault for Nichole's post being late.
ReplyDeleteWhat else happened before it disappeared?
It's celebrate good times ... look at the size of the font.
ReplyDeleteInk Stink...I totally agree with almost everything you said about that post today! (I happen to like the Tag It's 6 shape.) Yuck to all of it.
ReplyDeleteHow is Nichole managing to keep all the negative posts off her blog comments? They don't seem to be being monitored.
ReplyDeleteNot really feeling the projects today either. The colors are off (flat?) and the cards aren't as polished as they usually are. I usually like at least one card, so I was surprised.
ReplyDeleteLittle things bother me, not saying this because I am on this blog. Let me say first, I LOVE HEATHER but I don't like Heathers new sentiment the way it is worded. I know how your supposed to read it, but don't like having to figure that out. I know thats silly but one of my things. Also on the pocket from yesterday, the little tag on the side is too big for that pocket, in my eyes. Another one of my little things. Would make no difference who manufactured it, I would tell you the same thing.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that Nichole and Julie really know how terrible the new website is but can't do anything about it because of Rick's involvement?
ReplyDeleteIs there any way to find a cached version of a thread once it has been removed? I would like to read the one that was removed.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the Heart-to-Heart balloons are ugly. I liked the little travel mug last month...but there is no "completist" in me!
ReplyDeleteLike I said earlier,Heathers style just speaks to me. Fillable Frames I think I ended up with 8, the rest I just didn't like. Tag-Its, I redemed my points and bought the last 4. I ended up with all of those, because I didn't have to buy a die to go with them. I wish they would consider another year long series with one die.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the sentiment for the nest/eggs should have read "Just Laid" or "Congratulations on Getting Laid"...which opens up a whole new world of card-making amusement.
ReplyDeleteAnd why is the sentiment "just hatched" when the eggs are clearly not hatched?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not her best work.
11 March 2012 12:51
Bwahwhawha! Love it! Best laugh of the day!
Ted had to bump his own thread.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that Ted is starting his own forum! I hope that many, many people join him there!
ReplyDeleteI hope to god that steph tells miss someone smashed a frame on my head to eff off if she asks for that list of sentiments.
ReplyDeleteDear PTI, WHY does everything have to be a die? I mean a TIE? That is pretty damn easy to cut out ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThese releases have been ridiculously big for over a year now. Way too overwhelming for the consumer (can anyone afford to buy all the stuff?) and CLEARLY overwhelming for the website, shipping and handling "dept" as well as customer service.
Unsolicited advise: CUT BACK on your products on releases! (yes, "cut" was intended as a pun)
They should listen to you
DeleteDear GOD! Someone needs to join Ted's forum, just so we know who the 14 IDIOTS are that have already joined! Are you kidding me?
ReplyDeleteTed has 40 people signed up already. Oh please Jenn, don't take his link down! I love the idea of Ted et al having a cozy, happy, sunshiny place to call their own!!!!
ReplyDeleteStupid fucks
DeleteTed has 40 people signed up already. Oh please Jenn, don't take his link down! I love the idea of Ted et al having a cozy, happy, sunshiny place to call their own!!!!
ReplyDelete***********************************
Don't forget to add exclusionary to that description.
There are things that I just don't mind being excluded from!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe should be encouraging this new forum!
He says there are over 40 that have joined already.
ReplyDeleteSo what was said on this post that Jenn removed? I missed the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI missed it too...deets please.
ReplyDeleteI missed it too...deets please.
ReplyDeleteI missed it too...deets please.
ReplyDeleteWOW, 243 comments on the release prize today. Party on Wayne! I guess not too many people care about winning a prize that they will never get.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, sorry about the triple post,WTF?
ReplyDeleteI guess you were just really anxious to hear about the deleted thread?
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody at least remember what was posted that turned the thread bad? Something about the haters scaring Nichole away or something?
ReplyDeleteI hope all the "haters" didn't scare her away.....you know who I'm talking about, the ones who keep saying "goodbye PTI" but then they never go away! :lol: I'm at least excited about all the new stuff!
ReplyDeleteBarbara called her out on her comment but it all went downhill from here on out.
It was the somebody wake up Nichole thread
ReplyDeleteBarbara said "Perhaps the haters keep coming back because they are being poked. Your post is neither helpful or productive" or something like that.
ReplyDeleteBeating a dead horse, thanks for remembering the wording. I read it but couldn't remember exactly what she said.
ReplyDeleteWhen Lingenfelter raised ongoing school closures, Wall responded that these could be stopped if the local economy were æ‘ebounding? Tying universal services like access to education to the state of the local economy is an unprecedented position and Wall wouldn抰 dare argue this in relation to healthcare.
