ORIGINALLY POSTED BY "SIMON" ON August 17, 2011 11:55 AM at http://dsthof.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------ By request, Oscraps - some of it
By golly, this store has a ton of designers! I only have through Kitty Designs done, but honestly, what I've seen so far doesn't make me go "WOW! I can't wait to see more..." Most of it is OK, but it's not "I'll only shop here exclusively" quality.
Ashalee Wall - All of her recent papers look the same to me. Kit after kit, paper pack after paper pack. Just different colors. She dabbles in different styles from time to time. She needs to make more solid papers as well. Many of her kits only include one solid. I have some of her older, retired kits and they are far more interesting that most of what she has in her store now. I do like some of her products and find them decently priced for what you get. Her quality has always been good. She definitely caters to simple scrappers. Which is what I always think of when I think of Oscraps.
Biograffiti - Very simplistic templates that are very overpriced. Has some kits and paper packs that cater to her simple style. She does offer a nice range of products to make simple albums if that is your style. After spending $20 on her simple templates then the cost of printing a book or pages, it can really add up, though. I have some of her products (must have been freebies) and the quality is good.
Carla Gibson Designs - Mostly art journal/altered art items. Has some nice PU brushes available at a very cheap price point. I do not have any of her products, so I can't speak to the quality. Some of her paper packs are very oversaturated in color. I'm no expert in altered art, but many of her products look cheesy and cheap to me (especially her word art).
Cinzia Loosemore - Has mostly nice color palettes that scream Oscraps style to me. Has mostly nice patterned papers and includes solids. Elements are mostly doodly and flat (just the style, not a criticism). Does include a nice mix of realistic items such as ribbons and flowers as well without being mish mashy. Her single quick pages seem very overpriced to me ($2 for one), but they must do well since she has a ton of them in her store. Downloaded her store freebie because I liked the look of her kits, but sadly, a round flair is jagged, the doodles are jagged, and the papers have zero texture on them (I don't like a lot of texture myself, but these have zero!). It also has a very expired coupon inside. Deleted.
Creations by Tinamarie - Nice, simple patterns with soft textures. Mostly OK color schemes. Nice mix of realistic elements with doodles. Kits are small for the price tag. I don't have any of her products so I can't speak to the quality. Small store compared to others at Oscraps.
Danielle Young - Mostly OK color palettes with some nice patterns mixed with basics. Most of her patterns are very basic (lots of simple dots and simple stripes). I have one of her kits and the quality is just OK. Some elements are poorly colored and some have jagged edges. Some of her kits are very small for the price. Offers a lot of quick pages as well. Her older kits are a little mish mashy and don't seem to fit with her current style.

Fei-fei's Stuff - Mostly nice color palettes. Off-hand, I didn't see one I didn't like. Makes a lot of patterned papers and they're done well. Has some more uncommon products - her "graffiti" line is nice and I don't see that stuff a lot. Has some nice, unique templates with her "painted on" series she did with Taylormade. I don't have any of her products, so I can't speak to the quality. She has a few freebies in her store, so I took a look. I don't care for the texture on her "cool bliss" sample, but the items are nice. I like the confetti. "something pop" is nice and has better textures. It also has some really cool elements. I will definitely check out more of her stuff and added some things to my wish list.
Joanne Brisebois - Her style is all over the place, but seems to be consistent within each product. I don't have any of her products. Her freebies are lame and don't really give me any insight into her kit products. The photography frame is nice, though. Some of her papers are much better than others. Some have nice patterns mixed with basics and solids. Others are hot messes. They're all the same price, so you can get some old, small packs that aren't as good for $3. Or you can get newer, better, fuller packs for $3. Not very consistent.
Jodie McNally - Her most recent product is from 2010. Not wasting my time to review. A quick browse tells me I'm not missing anything.
Joe Designs - The most recent product is from Christmas. Seriously!
Ju Kneipp Designs - I mostly enjoy her mix of styles in her elements. She puts together a shabby blend without it looking mish mashy (for the most part). She makes some nice patterns, but mostly simple patterns. I have some of her freebies and the recoloring isnt great on some items (very flat), but the quality of the item itself is OK (no strays or jaggies). I do not like how some of her elements come shadowed without an unshadowed version.
Kathryn Wilson Designs - Her bright blue packaging is horrible looking and it hides too much of the kit. I'm not buying your packaging. There are no extra previews in her solo listings that I looked at more closely. A mix of good and bad color palettes. Her solo kits are $3.50, which seems slightly low for some with more papers and a few more elements. Then she has a collab for $8 which is not over twice the size of her normal kits (that product has extra images). Some paper only packs are $3, some are less. Pricing is very inconsistent. I don't have any of her products and there was no in-store freebie, so I can't speak to the quality.
Kitty Designs - Kitty is always very hit or miss for me. Her kits have some nice color palettes and some truly gross ones. Some kits she makes beautiful patterned papers and other kits she doesn't make any. Her reds are VERY oversaturated as are some of her other colors. She makes some cute alphas and I like her little extras as far as her swirls and most of her word arts. They stick with her whimsical style. Many of her doodles have jagged edges and are not colored well. In her store freebie, Magical Moments, you can see this for yourself by looking at the owl trio element. Otherwise, she makes some cute, unique elements. I'm just not looking to spend $7 on a kit just for the unique elements and then have them be jagged.
ORIGINALLY POSTED BY "SIMON" ON August 24, 2011 9:56 PM at http://dsthof.blogspot.com ----------------------------------------- Here is the second half of the lost Oscraps review.
Oscraps - continued
Lotta Designs - Very small store, almost 100% CU. I don't have any, so I can't speak to the quality. The two kits she has in her store are realistic and on the fantasy side. They look interesting for that style, but her preview makes the kits seem very small when they have 60+ elements.
Lydia Designs - I think she makes some beautiful word art. I have some of her packs and the quality is great and the pieces are beautiful. Some of her kits are very small especially for the price. She makes some nice papers and some boring ones. She does a nice mix of realistic elements and hand drawn pieces without it looking mish-mashy. I only have her word art and not her kits, so I can't speak to the quality of those. She doesn't have a sample in her store.
MaryPop Designs - Sells a mix of CU and PU. All realistic style. I don't have any of her CU, so I can't speak to the quality. Her kits could be fantasy style, but I would use her kits for my paper style pages. I don't find them over the top fantasy. Lots of flowers and things. Her papers look very pretty for that style and she even does some with soft patterns and decorative edges. I downloaded her Eternity freebie in shop and think her papers are great. The elements are nice, but the image quality on her extracted items is inconsistent. The raffia frame is very blurry and has some jagged edges. The edges are slight enough that I would use it if if weren't for the very noticeable blurriness of the item. The bow has inconsistent lighting, but is a pretty ribbon.
Maya de Groot - Has simple templates that seem fitting for her kit style. Her style is all over the place and sometimes within the same kit. She has some doodled kits, altered art, realistic, etc. I downloaded her Home Sweet Home and Prego freebies. Quality is mostly good. Some jagged edges on the extractions, but very mild. Nothing that would make me not buy from her. Makes some nice patterns and more fantasy style solids. Has mostly nice color palettes. I think her kits are overpriced for the contents, but I would watch her store for a sale. Her previews are horrible.
Merkeley Designs - She's been around a long time and I don't think she's ever retired a thing from her store. She really should. She offers a mix of CU and PU items. I have a couple of her items (PU) and the quality is just OK. Some pieces are really well done and others are poorly recolored or poor quality extractions. Her papers are mostly boring, but she occasionally throws in a decent pattern. Her previews are mostly bad, but some are surprisingly OK. She offers a lot of tools for scrappers and not just designers. I think these are her most useful products. I have one of her "sample it" samples (I didn't see it at O, but her store is massive, I could have missed it) and the quality is good. I would watch her store for useful scrapping tools if I didn't already have them.
Miss Crow's Magickal Emporium™ - I love how her name is trademarked. (eye roll) Her store, however, matches her design name. It's pretty much a bunch of junk with dust on it. She manages to make a few nice papers here and there, but they're mostly plain and boring oversaturated papers. You have to go pretty far back to see any kits. The previews are just bad. BAD. They look like she dumped everything onto the floor and just took a picture of the mess. I don't have any of her things, so I can't speak to the quality, but they look like a hot, mish-mashy mess.
ORIGINALLY POSTED BY "SIMON" ON August 24, 2011 9:56 PM at http://dsthof.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------ Oscraps...
One Little Bird Designs - Mostly nice color palettes and several nice patterns. The single templates are overpriced, but they must sell. I think the kits are overpriced. I wish they sold their papers separately. I'm surprised they don't given the store. The kits are well put together and have a mix of items without being mish mashy. I don't have any of their products and they don't have any kit samples in their store. I would try a product on sale, but I wouldn't pay the full price to try anything. I will watch their store in the future.
Paint the Moon Designs - Has a shabby, vintage, altered art style. Sells some CU, but based on the previews, I wouldn't download it for free. The previews are very busy without focus on anything in the kit. Again, looks like she emptied the junk drawer on the floor, took a photo, and packaged it up as a kit. I understand vintage walks the fine line between mish-mashy and well put together, but she crosses it into mish mashy more than once. Even her collab with SMJ is gross, and I usually like SMJ's stuff. Her products are also very expensive especially for what you get. More than one of her kits has an extracted garden gnome... 'nuff said.
Paislee Press - see One Little Bird review. They're basically the same exact shop with the exact same style kit products. She does offer more element packs (frames, word art, etc) and several simple style templates and photography plates. I find most everything in this store to be overpriced as well, but would consider buying if on sale. Not as vibrant in color palettes as OLB. If I had to choose just one or the other, I would choose OLB for having better palettes. Her store is also very massive and could use some cleaning. No kit samples, so I can't speak to the quality.
Sue Cummings - Overpriced. Seriously. Just highway robbery. And if you're going to charge $8+ for a KIT with 14 papers and a handful of elements, you think you could stretch yourself to write out a proper description of contents? She does make some nice word art and I would consider it if it were on sale. Most of the papers are very boring and plain. Very few patterns. Some of her previews are confusing and difficult to know exactly what is included. The lack of description doesn't help. I'm glad to see she's retiring a bunch of products. She needs to.
TaylorMade Designs - Very much the same as One Little Bird and Paislee Press. I think all 3 of them are 100% interchangable. Simple templates and some are very unique (ie. the ones with Fei fei). Sells CU and PU items. Some nice color palettes and some gross ones. Her more recent kits have better patterns than her older ones which are far more simple and plain. I downloaded her ComposurePLUS: an add-on kit freebie. That had boring papers, but the elements were simple and nice. Includes shadowed versions, but I wish they were in their own folder so I could simply delete. Items are overpriced again, but on sale they would be worth trying.
ORIGINALLY POSTED BY "SIMON" ON August 24, 2011 9:56 PM at http://dsthof.blogspot.com ----------------------------------------- Oscraps - final
Three Paper Peonies - Typical, modern style the same as OLB, PP, and TaylorMade. Mostly nice color palettes and makes mostly nice patterned papers. I find her products also overpriced, but would consider them on sale. I wish she sold her papers separately, too. Hers are as good as OLB, who I consider to be the best out of the modern style bunch at the O. Makes some unique elements as well. Small store, but will watch in the future.
Traci Murphy Designs - Her style is all over the place. Some nice patterns, but mostly gross color palettes. Very overpriced for what you get. In this style, a scrapper has countless other designers to choose from who make better looking products with a much lower price tag. Also sells CU, but I don't have any, so I can't speak to the quality. Some of her kits are very mish mashy. She seems like a weak designer for this store.
Vera Lim Designs - In the interest of full disclosure (lol), I have shopped with Vera for years. I love her quirky style - she does a nice mix of realistic items and doodles without it being mish mashy. Some of her doodles can have jaggies, but nothing noticable in print. The quality has never detracted me from buying again. Some of her kit papers can be boring, but then some are greatly detailed and patterned. It's a toss-up. Some of her color palettes are gross, but some are nice. Again. Toss-up. I have some of her CU and the quality has always been good. I think her quick pages are overpriced as well. I only buy from her when items are on sale (PU and CU).
Vicki Stegall - Has a lot of collab products with Sue Cummings. Her kits have mostly boring, repeated patterns and the elements are mostly recolors (poorly recolored at that). For $7+, I expect better. Much better. Sells some overpriced quick pages as well. Some CU, but that is also very overpriced. Her previews are horrible and her products just look cheap. I'm a little surprised she's at this store.
ZuzanaH Designs - Sells CU and PU and is a realistic style leaning towards fantasy designer. I would use some of her kit products, though, on my paper style pages. I don't have any of her CU, so I can't speak to the quality. Mostly boring papers in her older kits, but her newer kits have interesting brushwork for her style. Has mostly nice color schemes and products are priced according to kit contents.
