Another scrapbook magazine goes under

[Amy L]

Simple Scrapbooks...I didn't subscribe to this, and I don't know how much digi stuff they had, but it just makes me sad! Here's the link to their blog post:

I did not subscribe either but saddened to hear of it closing.

[laura grimes]

Well, shoot! 2 of the 3 magazines I subscribe to are now defunct! I just got my FEB issue of CK and it had maybe 5 digi layouts! Seriously not cool!

[Denise Gormish]

WOW! Kinda hard to believe...

[geekscrapper]

OMG - I'd read that they were going to offer subscribers of "Digital Scrapbooking" the rest of their subscriptions in other CK magazines, and that's the one I was going to choose. Grr. Might just choose a refund when the time comes.

[PaulaSG]

This makes me so sad - Simple was one of my favorite mags, even if they didn't have a lot of digi. I love their philosophy.

[katie pertiet]

this is just so sad

[Mary Rogers]

oh no! I am so sad - the group of girls involved with that magazine are top notch...this economy sucks...I can imagine that when you have to make a choice about buying groceries or magazines, well easy answer...

my brother works for a paper mill, one of their partnership mills produces glossy paper - mostly to magazines and similar publications, their sales are down 50% : ) and are planning huge layoffs.

[lat4005]

Wow...that is so sad to hear. It's just so hard to believe how fast things are going down. My heart goes out to all the families of these companies who are affected.

[Britgirl]

OH I liked that mag! so sad to read all this.

[mhowe]

Oh that is so sad. I'm sorry to hear we are losing another magazine. Hope the economy picks up soon! :-)

[justmp]

Whoa...this caught me off guard. I've been a bit out of the loop the past week or so and this is the first I've heard of this. I have been a SS subscriber for ages. How sad to see it go.

[donitab]

this was my favorite magazine - I like the clean, simple designs - thank goodness I still have the gallery here to inspire me EVERY day - thanks!

[sarahorton]

what a bummer. makes me incredibly sad to read this news.

[deanie]

Wow, how sad~this was one of the first scrapbooking magazines I ever looked at.

[DebbieHodge]

this had become my fave. so sad to lose this treat and source of info. so sad for what it means about the economy and about the face of scrapbooking

[kari]

how sad.... that was my favorite.....

[digigrandma]

I liked the simple approach of this magazine, too. I bought it at the book store every time I came across it.

And, as much as I am online, I still really love a well done, glossy magazine I can hold in my hand. This is really bad news!

[Kathie]

geesh!! Bad enough that DSM went under after I paid for 2 years, but I just gave 3 subscriptions of simple for Christmas gifts. Sigh. (And my own subscription besides.) I didn't have a subscription to CK, because out of all of them, I like it the least. Feel bad for all the employees worst of all. Times are hard.

[Cassie Jones (1gr8muggle)]

Oh, this is very disappointing news. I also loved looking through SS. It's a shame.

[Lindar70]

So very sad.

Well, it is sad to see another scrapbook magazine gone. I hope this will make Creating Keepsakes a thicker magazine with lots to offer. It would be nice if they could incorporate
more digi.

I just said the same thing to my hubby. I feel bad for all the loss of jobs, not just for the magazine but as Mary said the printing companies as well.

[mommydawn]

figures...I just renewed Digital Scrapbooking and Simple Scrapbooking! Now what? a
Why did they send out renewal forms if they had an idea this might happen?

Total sadness in my house tonight after hearing the news... but, according to Angie Lucas (on the Simple Blog), SS will be incorporated into CK and CK will be getting a bit "larger". So, that's a plus... at least in my book!

[angie wags]

That's a little bit of good news, Debi. I so liked their philosophy. I've been a subscriber since they debuted.

[Lynn Grieveson]

I can't believe that :-(

I just subscribed to it after thinking about it for 3 years LOL

[Chris]

Another sad one here! It was one of the nicer scrapbook magazines.

[anke]

Oh no, not another one! I always got this one too. That is really too bad! It must be really expensive to keep them going....

[kikimama]

That is sad, I couldn't get it very often over here, but loved it when I did. I liked their philosophy of simple, clean LOs.
