2/13 SQOTD

Post by Tamara »

Did you know that American Crafts was bought out a week ago? (inside info from employees ;) It may not have been announced publically yet) They sold their notions line to a Notions company and many of their scrapbook lines will no longer be produced by the new company.
I just googled it and found out that EKsuccess has acquired the company

How will this affect you? You have noticed that Vicki Boutin has now collaborated with Graphic 45 and Paige Evans has collaborated with Pink Studio

This will not affect me at all. I never knew these lines. Just shopped at Joann's or Michael's

I didn't know that, but I did hear Vicki Boutin was going to design for 49 and Market. I can't wait to see what she comes up with as I love both!

This is very interesting. I knew Vivki was going to 49 & Market, which I was happy to see because Katie Petriet is going to focus more on her own site. Will EK try to make a big comeback in the paper industry, or are they trying to save it? It's something to ponder. I didn't buy much from American Crafts.

There are so many great designers and manufacturers still out there so I doubt I will see a difference. Now is VB collaborating with Graphic 45 or 49&Market?

Vicki Boutin had said American Crafts had new owners a while back. American Crafts have been my favorite for a while because of the designers Vicki Boutin, Paige Evans, and Shimelle Laine.

JoAnn's is mainly American Crafts.

The rumor is there won't be a paper crafting side of it.
