Should I pretend to be surprised. Who couldn't see the writing on the wall?

[Sandi0805]

I too am not surprised at all. I know for myself around the fall crop that things started feeling different especially with all the changes then. I know that I don't participate as much as I used too with the challenges or the message board. As I said before, one tends to lose interest when you play or participate and then nothing. Many times I have completed challenges etc. and then never a winner.
I do want to thank all of the CT past and present though for all the inspiration and fun times that I have had. I really have gotten some great ideas for layouts and loads of tips and techniques that I would never have thought of myself. I can't wait to see what the new changes will be in March.

I AM surprised. I expected to see an announcement of the new CT members instead of this.

[pawprints]

I am surprised too. I also thought that there would be an upcoming CT call. I am sorry that the team as we know it will no longer exist.

I will miss the CT team very much. I hope that they still stick around here and play, as many of the CT Alum do. It is great being able to still share their friendship, and also to have them share their many talented projects with us. Many of my own digi pages just wouldn't exist if it weren't for the inspiration I've gotten from many of the challenges and contests that they have come up with. They gave me the spark and I took it from there. They are awesome and will be missed deeply.

I mostly lurk these days, but I just wanted to say that I'm sure this was not an easy decision to make.


That being said, a big THANKS to all CT members, past and present, for all of their insipiration and fun. Ultimately, the CT members are crafters and scrappers, and so long as they continue to craft and scrap, I'll continue to be inspired, with or without a CT title, just as I am by everyone else in the gallery.

[scrapsakes]

oh no... wow, i truly didn't expect this i am sad to hear it, but i'm sure it was a very hard decision to make.
this will always be my home online as i value the friendships i've made here, as well as being a part of the CT!

[Ayla]

I didn't expect this either and have to say I am rather disappointed. The CT members have inspired me to try new things and whole new avenues....I never would have tried digital without their support and encouragement. I will admit I am having difficulty envisioning this site without a CT, but will definitely hang around to see what is in store. I can't help but feel very disappointed however. Purely selfishly, one of my goals as a scrapper was to be chosen as digital GCT for a month and I am quite saddened to think I can never achieve that on the site that got me started.

I will be sad to see the CT go away, because they are what drew me in. I get a lot of inspiration from them. It sill be a change and like most all change, we will get used to the new ACOT....Grudgeingly.

[love2stamp]

This is really really sad news to hear. I will miss seeing the CT's inspiration and tutorials.

And ditto what handerful said - I hope its not the end of montly challenges.

My thoughts excactly. I also hope it's not the end of the crops, I soooo look forward to both the crops and the monthly challanges.

[Northern Brat]

This is truly sad news. I sure hope the "changes" that are coming are exciting and keep people interested..........

This is truly sad news. I sure hope the "changes" that are coming are exciting and keep people interested..........

And I truly hope we aren't kept waiting too long to find out what they are, or I fear interest and participation will wane.

[CherryTat]

This is very sad. I don't know what else to say, I was shocked and disappointed. I fear that the whole message board is in jeopardy of being taken down. Guess we'll see what happens.


I was with Nancy too- I was hoping to be GCT some month in the future. Oh well, so much for that.

Ditto! I was honestly hoping to be on the CT (either paper or digital). It's been one of my dreams for the past 4 or so years. I'm so very saddened, upset and disappointed, along with a bit scared that we are going to lose the board. I've seen it happen before...

Where is that like button when you need one.

I been waiting for that for four years and nothing. Guess people don't like my kind of pets layouts.

[Keling]

Have to say, I'm not surprised...

[4peasinourpod]

WOW. I hope the new plans are announced soon - I kept waiting and waiting to hear about a new CT call!!

I totally plan my spring schedule around ACOT's NSD crop so *PLEASE* let us know ASAP if that is not happening. Seriously - as part of a chain of events it actually influences when and if we're visiting relatives overseas this year!.

I know there has been attrition as the paper CT has declined and I agree w/the others who say the challenges, CT inspiration and crops are what has brought and kept so many of us to this wonderful community! I for one will re-mention that I would be happy to help with monthly challenges as well as other duties that formerly belonged to the CT if help is needed.

There will be an ACOT NSD crop. It just won't be the same format as before.

I am also sorry - and a bit shocked - to hear this. Although I have been on this site for many years, my participation in crops, challenges, and the message board has often been sporadic. But I always knew that when I did return, I would be warmly welcomed back by old friends.

It is because of the ACOT CT that I decided to venture over to the dark side and try my hand at digital. Their support, encouragement, and advice were invaluable. Now that I'm overseas again - digital is just so much easier. And I REALLY didn't want to pack up my stuff again. Shoot, my scrappy stuff is better traveled than most people!

Put me in the group that is anxiously waiting to hear what ACOT has in mind. Hope they have something good to replace the inspiration, friendship, and fun that the CT has provided to everyone!

Cielle, when did you leave Texas? I am sorry...I missed that. I always loved chatting with you.
