Amanda.....I'm in the US....but I find you so personable and delightful....just hearing you laugh brightens my day. The things you offer us are absolutely beautiful!! Not all of us in the US are hateful and rude. Bullies are THE WORST!! I appreciate ALL of your hard work!!
It boggles my mind why people complain about something that is free. If I don’t like something that has been posted for free, I move on past! I’m not losing out because I don’t deserve to get things for free. Your generosity is always welcome and appreciated! Thank you for your wonderful videos, projects, freebies & digitals!
Oh Amanda ....you hun, have every reason to voice your negativity & even more right, to ban RUDE people, who clearly don't appreciate ALL the hard work (& love) that you put into every tutorial & project you do! You have not only helped myself become more confident in my creativity but, indeed others too, who've subscribed to you also! I initially started scrapbooking during the pandemic & can honestly say, that you (& a few other crafters) have brought so much joy to everyone like myself. Keep on being true to yourself & long may we ALL continue to listen (& laugh alongside you too) whilst we craft with you! Thanks for ALL you do. 😊❤🎉 x
Amanda, rude people are unhappy with themselves. I'm glad you addressed this subject. Thank you for giving us insight on all you do, we appreciate it very much. By the way, you have the best laugh on youtube, one just feels good after watching you craft ... blessings to you.
I am an American, and I am sorry that one of my fellow citizens was rude to you Amanda. I hear you when it comes to what you are saying. I had someone here on YT actually use my creation that I sent her and sent it to someone else as her own creation. I was shocked. Thank you for sharing! I hope all is good with you and yours across the pond. Take good care. 🌽xx
Very well said Amanda! I am tired of the entitled rude persons. You do so much for us, and give up so much time for us. Block them! Keep setting boundaries, keep happy, keep laughing, and keep crafting. ❤️🌺❤️
GOOD FOR YOU FOR HAVING BOUNDARIES AND KEEPING THEM!!! I hope this gets her attention and others like her! Thank you sssooo much for everything you do for us, you're so very talented and I love watching you!!
Hi from Ontario Canada! Sorry that you have to deal with negative people! Usually there is more nice people then the other kind! Thank you for what you do!!!😊
Some ppl also deal with mental/emotional issues and no matter how much sense you make, they just don’t get it. THIS IS YOUR CHANNEL & you don’t have to excuse why you give & why you don’t. It’s up to you. Your true fans know how sweet, encouraging, giving & understanding you are. I appreciate your sharing your ideas, content & freebies. You’re the best. 💜
Slugs aren't liked in a garden and they are certainly not liked in human form. What a sad person she must be as she will never appreciate the good things that life gives us all on a daily basis if we choose to recognise them. You are such a kind, creative, funny and giving person Amanda and good on you for doing this video. All of us non-slugs enjoy and appreciate what you do and the time you give to us. I thank you so very much for your videos and am always checking for the next one. 🦋🦋🦋
Amanda, I am in the US and there are so many rude people here. I don’t understand why any one can be so rude to you. You are so good at showing us new things. You are super fair at everything you make. I love everything you make and show us. Thank you for sharing everything you share and everything you do. I love your laugh and love watching your videos. Thank you for being YOU. Keep doing YOU. You are my favorite!!
I am ANOTHER TERESA, in AZ that loves and appreciates all the effort and FUN you put into your videos. always encourages me and lifts my spirits! more of us .. than the haters. HUGS
I truly appreciate everything you do, everything you share and little tricks and tips you give us, we are all on our own journey and it helps with inspiration and confidence in crafting. I don't understand people complaining or demanding things. I'm appreciative for everything you do and I've enjoyed making the memdex cards, it's not my normal thing but wanted to join, which gets me out of the comfort zone. I don't agree with people demanding and wanting everything for nothing, you put a lot of time, effort and energy in creating these and video's for us to watch and create, so just don't get it. People who to say it short and sweet, I fully agree with you, give creadit where it is due and appreciate everything you do. We're all on our own journey and it is nice to get together, show our gorgeous work and praise each other instead of tearing each other down, the world is bad enough without us doing it too! Thank you for everything you do and for sharing, take care and enjoy your weekend x
As a non-slug, I appreciate everything that you do for us all and absolutely love all your work. Life is too short to be nasty and I for one, agree that they don't deserve the time of day. You keep being your delightful self lovely girl and know that we love and appreciate you
Want to add my thanks for your generosity with your freebies, your membership (remarkable), and your videos - all are most appreciated!!! And how I love your happy self telling us how you create this or that ... that giggle never fails to make me laugh too!
Hi Amanda! I have been a fan of yours, from the US, since your Stampin' Up days. I have been away from crafting for several years and am back ~ so glad that I have found you again! I love you and all that you share with us, watching you brings light and happiness to this dark and scary world. I'm so sorry that there are people, especially this woman from the US, who are being "slugs" and applaud you for speaking out. Keep being you!
Keep being you. It's disheartening when you come under attack . We love watching, enjoying hints and tips. Let negativity sweep over your head, enjoy the positives 😊
Amanda you are creative , kind and generous! Slugs have no right to treat you rudely. Sending you loads of love to counteract the slugs out there. Thank you for drawing the line in a kind way. I appreciate all you do. ❤❤
Amanda, I am so so sorry that someone could even think about being rude to you. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos and your beautiful work, especially with this new freebie with the memory dev cards, I sit on pins and needles waiting for those to come out. I have so enjoyed them. I appreciate all that you do and you really do make my day. You just keep up the good work and good for you like others have said for having boundaries and sticking to them
Oh Amanda how can someone be so rude to you. Your kindness and joy you bring to channel are a pure joy. Love,Love watching your channel and find you amazing.❤
There will always be that one person that spoils things with their rudeness, good on you for shutting it down, you don't deserve that when you are so generous, you are appreciated :)
I totally hear you! There seems to be a lot of this going around, you are not the only person I follow that is having the same issues. It's sad that in our wonderful crafting world there has to be people who do these mean things. I am a KoFi follower and a member of your FB group and LOVE all that you do!! I'm actually right now fussy cutting the MDC challenge pages!! I'll be posting them soon! I'm also in the US and no we are not all rude!! Keep sharing and giggling our way through your tutorials!! You always make me smile 🥰☺💖
“If you can’t play nice” absobloomin right hun!!! They don’t deserve you. Thanks for all you do and all your hard work. There’s more us us appreciaters than the slugs! 💐💕💫
Never cross a Yorkshire woman!!!! Thank you for your generosity ❣️. I’m very irritated that I no longer have a printer, will have source a new one, as I’m loving seeing this challenge. Love from OZ❣️❣️
You were, originally from Rotherham, so I was brought up with a Yorkshire woman’s ire. My auntie could be pretty brutal when crossed. Mum was more restrained but got her point across, as did you. If there any spelling mistakes, forgive me..,it’s 1.30am Sunday morning 😳
Amanda, I want to thank you for everything that you do. I should tell you more often how much I enjoy your digitals, membership and videos. You are so generous with your talents and I appreciate it very much.
It's sad that people are so rude. I love listening to your videos, your laugh, always makes me smile. Besides I am learning so much from you. Your kindness always makes me a better person. Thanks for all you do for us, Amanda 😊
Oh Amanda. So sorry you have experienced this. You are so kink and generous with all your tutorials and your beautiful freebies. I am glad you are rising above it and being the beautiful person you are. Please remember that we appreciate you.
Amanda, I appreciate everything you give to me, whether it is free or as part of your membership. Please don't let a few rude people spoil it for you. Keep inspiring all of us. X
Ohhh darlin, just keep being you! You are a fabulous creator, an inspiration and that laugh makes me smile every time! As for the rudeness, you have the most power with your index finger and the almighty delete key! ;P
Wow... such a relief to hear you speak to something I experience all the time. Im finding you absolutely delightful and became an instant fan! Thank You!
Unbelievable how rude people can be. I am not on Facebook nor will I ever be. That being said, I still enjoy your videos and get plenty of inspiration. Keep on laughing!!
I am so saddened to hear of a rude, entitled poophead being so rude to you. They are everywhere! I have lost my mojo and drive but love watching you and you know, I have done so for a long while now. You just keep being the wonderful you that you are! Don't mind those hateful handful of poopheads! We love ya kiddo!❤
I’m sorry this person was rude and snarky. I appreciate you protecting your FB members as this is my favorite page. I love what you do and appreciate all the lovely digitals you bring us.
I have watched you since stampin up and I hear you have grown a lot. Yes don’t want to lose you like we almost did,so be happy with your crafting and doing journals and such.we will do as you say and give of your self and be happy.family,work,fun,love comes first and we will be there always.
Hey folks! Please take some time to subscribe, comment and hit the THUMBS UP on this and ALL of our lovely craft channels and videos! Let's help to keep them alive and thriving. Keep on creating 🥰🖌🎨
I really enjoy watching your channel. Your laugh always makes me smile. The thing about freebies is they are yours to do what you want with. It’s nice enough that you offer a freebie. What some don’t realize is that putting out content and creating takes a lot of time. Thank you for all you do
It blows my mind, what people will stoop to. Thank you for explaining the process you go through to create . In my mind a creator that gives away their freebies , has a huge heart. Blessings to you Amanda. 😍😍 And a big thankyou. From Australia.
This really really spoke to me. I am a small timer here on RUclips, but I can totally relate! I absolutely love crafting and find you to be delightful. Thank you for sharing great ideas and crafts. 😍
That was me! I wanted the little green guy from the Halloween collection. Thank you for calling me lovely 😂. One of my very best friends is a digital creator and she gets frustrated by the same things you do. With the thousands of people that love you, there is always the one or two that can bring everything down. It's very sad how rude and demanding some people can be. Social media has damaged social skills when you sit behind a screen all the time. Hugs to you!
Opinion and rudeness are two totally different things…hate rude people. Amanda so glad you took a stance and drove that karma 🚌 today. As for the Facebook verses Kofi I tend to think of kofi as a selling site with benefits whereas face book is a place of inspiration, friendship and just somewhere you can be with likeminded people. This copyright thing this is a Minefield of complexity and you explained that very well. Some people really want far too much and I am so glad you say no! These big name creators that use other creators ideas are beyond. I have said on a couple of channels where I know a certain piece of work has been created by someone else I tend to mention that I have done this before and mention the original creator. You say using your measurements and creating an online class is rude- I call it theft!!!! Credit where credit is due no excuse!!
Bravo! You do not have to leave yourself available to someone like that. You can even ban them from your RUclips channel and they won't know they've been banned. I appreciate everything you share and give us on your channel. Experience, ideas, problem solving and just showing different ways of doing the same thing benefits everyone participating in watching the videos.
Well done to you for refusing this person , you bring so much fun and generosity to your videos, there is no room for nasty people in this world, rant over x
Good for you. You don't have to put up with bullies. Just delete them. Not all of us Americans are rude. Thanks for the explanation of how the digital license works. I always wondered about that.
I agree with you 💯. As a fellow RUclipsr and digital creator, I've come across most of what you've been talking about. At the start of this year I had another large channel make a really big stink and cast aspersions in my direction. I was so confused as I'd given them credit for the idea. But they wanted blood. It annoyed me too as I've had SO many channels take my original designs and make them in a tutorial and not give credit - but I didn't cause a raucous like this particular channel did!!! Unbelievable!! As for rude comments - I've definitely had a few of them too!! I usually reply with a really nice comment - so they don't get the dopamine hit they're looking for!!! 😂 I remember being told to Read, Block (if necessary), and Delete. So that's what I go to if it's really not an appropriate comment. ❤
Yeah after the amount of years I have been at it I just shrug at copycats who don't give credit.. Seen one today who has totally ripped of one of my high viewing videos.. but meh life is too short isn't it and I just think well it is inspiring even more people so it is all good. You are always going to get some who just don't want their ideas being used and get funny.. well they should keep their ideas and not share them then simple. Keep doing what you do your work is awesome x
@Scrimpingmommy Absolutely! It's not worth the extra stress worrying about it. Do you have an email address I could contact you on? Or Instagram msg? I wanted to run something past you. 😊😊
Well said on all matters! All the aforementioned subjects are exactly the reason I create only for my own personal enjoyment. I don’t want to deal with any of the hassles associated with being a RUclips creator and crafter. You are a strong and brave woman for having a channel, putting yourself out there, and dealing with all the challenges. Kudos to you!
Amanda, you are such a balanced individual. You have addressed these issues with such grace. Thank you for all you do. It’s nice to hear you are happy in life. Clearly some people are not and maybe that’s where all the trouble starts.😜
It's so important to have boundaries in your life not just with crafting. Good for you for setting them. I wish I had done it sooner. I don't take advantage of freebies often as I don't have a printer but I appreciate that you offer them for people like me who can't afford digitals. Thank you for sharing your time and creativity with all of us. 💛
I found your channel years ago when I was new to paper crafting. I have learned so much from your content. Your infectious laugh and beautiful work keeps me coming back. I’m not on Facebook but have purchased many digitals from your Kofi shop. I love that you have freebies in your shop but always pay something for them because you deserve it. I used some of your background papers to make albums with photos from my daughter’s wedding. They turned out gorgeous and just the right colors. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us all. Love from Colorado.
Amanda you are the sweetest lady and a great creator . I always enjoy the time I spend on your channel and the time I spend on your creations in my craft room they are a part of my happy place.❤😊😊😊
Good for you Amanda! We don't need rude people in our groups. We all support each other here. I, for one, am grateful for all you've shown me, both on fb and on kofi. Thanks for everything you do. Keep smiling, you cheer us up every day xx❤
Well said Amanda and you have always told the terms and conditions for your files. Sometimes with measurements it is acknowledge and some of us forget where we got them from. It is also when some companies tell you can case ideas. I will always give credit to those where I have got the files or I have bought the items from. I always try and buy the commerical licenses where as possible. Or I will give items for free or use them for my personal use for friends and families.
You are so wise and wonderful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Some things need to be said! You have always inspired me so much and not just in being amazingly crafty, but also your philosophies about life and kindness and warmth which are so inspiring when things get tough in my own baby business. Thank you dear heart. Sending so much love and light. -Elizabeth H.
Thank you for all your inspiration. I’ve watched you for years. Lovely idea you have. Keep sharing. Ugly behavior is not a happy person. Appreciate you.
I opened your video thinking it might be quite a downer this morning. Instead it had me giggling as I listened. I am totally flabbergasted some times when I read the comments from some people. I think that maybe those people are 'special needs' and have lost the ability to use their brains and manners. The same type of people who you see on the news without their teeth and bras. You know...the slugs. Thank you so much for all your great content and freebies. 🥰 And thank you for the giggles this morning. I will be sure to bring my popcorn next time! 😄
Some people can be very difficult these days! But as you know there are still a lot of good ones in the world. Thank you for shielding the rest of us from this drama. Thank you for not letting the few bad apples ruin all the good fun things you provide for the rest of us who truly appreciate it!! ❤
Well, I really, really appreciate you and love what you share with us. So sorry that people are being wicked toward you. Discussing the bad behaviour with the group is what you should do because this a group of friends, ❤️❤️
I hate rude, entitled bullies! especially the ones who do not pay attention or even bother to listen to your videos. This type of person has deep issues that they need to deal with, instead of being a horse's hinny. Good for you for setting boundaries. That kind of attitude is uncalled for. I love your videos and freebies and the digitals that you offer. I love that you are so personable, funny, and sweet. Thank you, Amanda! ❤😊
So very well put. Nothing you said was out of line and was totally reasonable. I'm sorry to hear you were ripped off by youtubers and those who made money on your creations. It opens one's mind. Fortunately this is rare and most people in the community are fabulous and supportive sharing people just like you are. ❤ 🎉
Bravo!! Thanks for putting into words what I have observed for awhile. You did it with proper amount of kindness and firmness. You have really helped me process all these common creator issues.🥰
Firm but fair I think.. sometimes you gotta have your own back but not allow yourselves to get too bothered by other people. We cant control their actions only our reaction to it x
This is the first video that RUclips recommended to me. I loved your channel from your first words. I'm so glad I found you and can't wait to create with some of your beautiful papers!
OOoops having me ranting is not the best recommendation ha ha ha .. but thank you I normally am very upbeat and a bit silly.. You will like the channel for sure x
I have to say that you are right on the mark with rude and insulting people. I also am from the US. I try to be so very careful when I download freebies. I’m a retired graphic designer (I’m not an artist mind you) and I understand your feelings of your work getting ripped off. You are very generous with your time and knowledge. I appreciate it very much. You are an inspiration to all of us
Sweet Amanda, please try to ignore the haters. They are miserable & want everyone else to join them. You work very hard to share your talent & ideas with all of us & the vast majority of us are definitely appreciative. Your generosity & creativity make us happy and we enjoy all of your unique projects. We look forward to see what you have made and are kind enough to share with the rest of the crafting world. Keep on doing what you are doing & pay no mind to the haters that don't have the decency to acknowledge your contributions. You are AMAZING & deserve RESPECT & PRAISE for your efforts!!! Thank you for being you!!!!💗💗💗
I really enjoy your videos and all of your hard work providing us with these beautiful journal ideas and printables. Don't pay any attention to the haters. You don't deserve that. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Well said Amanda 👏 You are a superstar 🥰 I am so happy to follow you, because you are honest, inspiring and talented. You don't deserve any disrespect or rudeness, shame on them. Keep being you, that's why I love your videos ❤️ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx
Hi Amanda, can I just say I love your direct way of dealing with things & good on ya for using your right to reply. I've been watching your RUclips channel for a while now (at the back of the class, saying nowt 😅). Yesterday, I joined your Facebook group, not just for the freebies, 😉 but because I want to find other crafters & journallers,, share ideas etc & support you. I've also explored your Ko-fi thingy a bit (not a platform I'm familiar with). I think you're a phenomenon (🎵do doo be do do 🎵) , your digital designs are beautiful & your tutorials are fab! ❤ Thank you ❤
Amanda-your videos are fabulous! I haven’t been working on journals lately due to health reasons but when I get my life back on track, your videos will be some of the first I watch regularly! I’m sorry for the rudeness you experienced! You are as sweet as they come!!! Take care & God Bless!
A great chat Amanda. It's good to understand all that's going on in your world which most of us don't know. Rude people are everywhere & I applaud your attitude in dealing with them. Hopefully those people are few & far between & most of us get on & enjoy what we're doing. Thanks again for all you do for us, 🥰🥰🥰
Hi there from Canada. I really appreciate how much you work you do for us. You’re right, there are some people out there with no sense of what actual manners are…I grew up going to Catholic school with strict, but fair nuns who imparted these concepts of how to “comport yourselves, ladies”…..I can still hear echoes of Sister Maris Stella! Thank you so much for your hard work, and for giving us these beautiful projects.❤
Amanda, I have loved you and your channel from the first day I found you and that hasn't changed. What always saddens me is the trolls, the slugs, the meanies and the cheaters. I always feel like they are hurting not only you but the rest of us as well. So many newbies starting out are so sensitive to the mean and nasty replies that they decide it is not worth their effort and so they leave and take all the wonderful creative ideas with them. I wish we could put up a wall of shame and their names could be displayed for all to see, the only problem with that idea is so many if them do not even recognize how rude they are. Love your perspective and you handled this like the pro that you are.
You have been so kind in your comments to the ‘Negative Nellie’ that you encountered. If she had been at a table with me, I’d probably have been wise to just get up, pack up my belongings, and leave without saying anything that I was thinking! You’ve handled this like the lovely lady that you are. 🥰
Good for you!! It's the only way to sort cyber bullies!! Thank you for all the work you do and all your lovely digitals. Luckily there are many more lovely people on your group than uglies, and a "Ban user" function for the latter ❤❤
OMG some people are horrible so sorry to hear this. I am always looking forward to watching you to see what you have created I appreciate you and everything you do ❤
Sorry you have copped this hun I still haven’t come back from been bullied find it very hard. Knowing you from over time you are such a beautiful person good on you for standing up xx
Amada I just want to say I am so sorry that there are trolls like that out there. I don't get it but that is me. I have never done any creating but I do know how much work is involved in producing kits and images and I am soooooo freaking grateful that there are people out there like you who love doing it. I don't think you should ever feel bad for having to get things off your chest. You are not a doormat so you just do what you need to do and keep on enjoying it. I love your videos and your group and your freebies too... lots of love from South Africa 🥰
Thanks for this video, particularly info about the challenge. I haven’t ever participated in a challenge before and really didn’t know what to do with that. So, now I know I can participate through Facebook and share my projects as well. On the other note, unfortunately social media has developed a lot of rude and entitled people. I guess they feel they can say things on their screen and not face to face and they feel they can say anything they want. I will say that I have written things, that when I read back, it may sound harsh when that wasn’t my intention. It’s hard to show inflection and emotion in written words for most people. Obviously, your experiences are more harsh than what I’m speaking about, and I’m sorry people have been rude to you. Most of us value your hard work and really appreciate all you do for us. Much love to you! And, we would love to hear those names🤨😇hahaha
Good on you girl, I’m not on your FB as I don’t have it but I love all your work and appreciate everything you do and produce on your channel. Glad you are keeping your chin up dealing with unhappy/Rude people. ❤️
Amanda.....I'm in the US....but I find you so personable and delightful....just hearing you laugh brightens my day. The things you offer us are absolutely beautiful!! Not all of us in the US are hateful and rude. Bullies are THE WORST!! I appreciate ALL of your hard work!!
I know Teresa I love Americans and I love the USA I got married there love it. Thanks for watching x

Aww thank you lovely x
Amanda, rude people are unhappy with themselves.
I'm glad you addressed this subject.
Thank you for giving us insight on all you do, we appreciate it very much.
By the way, you have the best laugh on youtube, one just feels good after watching you craft ... blessings to you.
I am an American, and I am sorry that one of my fellow citizens was rude to you Amanda. I hear you when it comes to what you are saying. I had someone here on YT actually use my creation that I sent her and sent it to someone else as her own creation. I was shocked. Thank you for sharing! I hope all is good with you and yours across the pond. Take good care. 🌽xx
Very well said Amanda! I am tired of the entitled rude persons. You do so much for us, and give up so much time for us. Block them! Keep setting boundaries, keep happy, keep laughing, and keep crafting. ❤️🌺❤️
I promise that not all folks from the States act like that. I hate that you have been treated this way I love and appreciate you and all you do
I was going to say the same thing. Not all US people act like that, and I hope you know that, Unfortunately, there are rude people of all ethnicity.
GOOD FOR YOU FOR HAVING BOUNDARIES AND KEEPING THEM!!! I hope this gets her attention and others like her! Thank you sssooo much for everything you do for us, you're so very talented and I love watching you!!
Thank you so much for your support and for watching x
Hi from Ontario Canada! Sorry that you have to deal with negative people! Usually there is more nice people then the other kind! Thank you for what you do!!!😊

I'm in AZ too.
I truly appreciate everything you do, everything you share and little tricks and tips you give us, we are all on our own journey and it helps with inspiration and confidence in crafting. I don't understand people complaining or demanding things. I'm appreciative for everything you do and I've enjoyed making the memdex cards, it's not my normal thing but wanted to join, which gets me out of the comfort zone.

Want to add my thanks for your generosity with your freebies, your membership (remarkable), and your videos - all are most appreciated!!! And how I love your happy self telling us how you create this or that ... that giggle never fails to make me laugh too!
Thanks for all you do. Crafting is a happy place. Some people don’t have happy places. Keep being the good person you are.
Well as far as I'm concerned you are a treasure! Your sharing and unbelievable generosity is wonderful. Your videos always brighten my day. Thank you😊
Hi Amanda! I have been a fan of yours, from the US, since your Stampin' Up days. I have been away from crafting for several years and am back ~ so glad that I have found you again! I love you and all that you share with us, watching you brings light and happiness to this dark and scary world. I'm so sorry that there are people, especially this woman from the US, who are being "slugs" and applaud you for speaking out. Keep being you!
Thank you so much Lisa x
Keep being you. It's disheartening when you come under attack . We love watching, enjoying hints and tips. Let negativity sweep over your head, enjoy the positives 😊
Amanda you are creative , kind and generous! Slugs have no right to treat you rudely. Sending you loads of love to counteract the slugs out there. Thank you for drawing the line in a kind way. I appreciate all you do. ❤❤
Amanda, I am so so sorry that someone could even think about being rude to you. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos and your beautiful work, especially with this new freebie with the memory dev cards, I sit on pins and needles waiting for those to come out. I have so enjoyed them. I appreciate all that you do and you really do make my day. You just keep up the good work and good for you like others have said for having boundaries and sticking to them
Thank you Diana x
Oh Amanda how can someone be so rude to you. Your kindness and joy you bring to channel are a pure joy. Love,Love watching your channel and find you amazing.❤
Thank you Norma I appreciate it x
Ignore that horrible woman, we all appreciate the time and all the effort you put into your videos, thanks Amanda x😊
There will always be that one person that spoils things with their rudeness, good on you for shutting it down, you don't deserve that when you are so generous, you are appreciated :)
I totally hear you! There seems to be a lot of this going around, you are not the only person I follow that is having the same issues. It's sad that in our wonderful crafting world there has to be people who do these mean things. I am a KoFi follower and a member of your FB group and LOVE all that you do!! I'm actually right now fussy cutting the MDC challenge pages!! I'll be posting them soon! I'm also in the US and no we are not all rude!! Keep sharing and giggling our way through your tutorials!! You always make me smile 🥰☺💖
“If you can’t play nice” absobloomin right hun!!! They don’t deserve you. Thanks for all you do and all your hard work. There’s more us us appreciaters than the slugs! 💐💕💫
Never cross a Yorkshire woman!!!! Thank you for your generosity ❣️. I’m very irritated that I no longer have a printer, will have source a new one, as I’m loving seeing this challenge. Love from OZ❣️❣️
Ha ha ha nope and as a Yorkshire lass I was very restrained ha ha. Thanks Val x
You were, originally from Rotherham, so I was brought up with a Yorkshire woman’s ire. My auntie could be pretty brutal when crossed. Mum was more restrained but got her point across, as did you. If there any spelling mistakes, forgive me..,it’s 1.30am Sunday morning 😳
Amanda, I want to thank you for everything that you do. I should tell you more often how much I enjoy your digitals, membership and videos. You are so generous with your talents and I appreciate it very much.
It's sad that people are so rude. I love listening to your videos, your laugh, always makes me smile. Besides I am learning so much from you. Your kindness always makes me a better person. Thanks for all you do for us, Amanda 😊
Thank you Rhonda x
Oh Amanda. So sorry you have experienced this. You are so kink and generous with all your tutorials and your beautiful freebies. I am glad you are rising above it and being the beautiful person you are. Please remember that we appreciate you.
Well done Amanda for speaking out. You are such a generous soul. Keep being you.
Amanda, I appreciate everything you give to me, whether it is free or as part of your membership. Please don't let a few rude people spoil it for you. Keep inspiring all of us. X
Ohhh darlin, just keep being you! You are a fabulous creator, an inspiration and that laugh makes me smile every time! As for the rudeness, you have the most power with your index finger and the almighty delete key! ;P
Thanks Kim and thanks for watching x
Wow... such a relief to hear you speak to something I experience all the time. Im finding you absolutely delightful and became an instant fan! Thank You!
Thank you and sorry if you deal with it too I hear you and stand by you x
It’s so sad people are not patient enough to listen. I so enjoy your work, and you always make it really clear where to find things.
Thank you Maria and thanks for watching x
Unbelievable how rude people can be. I am not on Facebook nor will I ever be. That being said, I still enjoy your videos and get plenty of inspiration. Keep on laughing!!
Thank you so much and thanks for watching x
I am so saddened to hear of a rude, entitled poophead being so rude to you. They are everywhere! I have lost my mojo and drive but love watching you and you know, I have done so for a long while now. You just keep being the wonderful you that you are! Don't mind those hateful handful of poopheads! We love ya kiddo!❤
No excuse for rudeness in life anywhere. We are all in this world trying to live the best we can. Thank you for being YOU🌹
Thank you for your support x
I’m sorry this person was rude and snarky. I appreciate you protecting your FB members as this is my favorite page. I love what you do and appreciate all the lovely digitals you bring us.

I’m all behind you Amanda against rudeness! I’m always enjoying your videos.
Thank you xx
Thank you! I appreciate your honesty, your creativity and your time! I love watching your channel, you are so much fun! God bless you!
Hey folks! Please take some time to subscribe, comment and hit the THUMBS UP on this and ALL of our lovely craft channels and videos! Let's help to keep them alive and thriving. Keep on creating 🥰🖌🎨
yes !! always subscribe if you see any creator you like it really helps them out x
I really enjoy watching your channel. Your laugh always makes me smile. The thing about freebies is they are yours to do what you want with. It’s nice enough that you offer a freebie. What some don’t realize is that putting out content and creating takes a lot of time. Thank you for all you do
Thank you I appreciate your support x
Thankyou Amanda, always love to hear andwatch your creations and now for understanding of digital etc. processes..😀
You vent. We listen. We are with you and thankful for evrrrything you do AND ALL THE TIME you spend doing it!
Thank you I really appreciate it .. venting done now time to create ha ha ha x
I am sorry this happens, really, really sorry. Well said.
It is so amazing to me when people are rude and act terrible...I'm sorry you have to address these kinds of people. I absolutely your videos!!!
Oh I’m so sorry you had to deal with such ignorance it’s uncalled for ! Love your channel!
It blows my mind, what people will stoop to. Thank you for explaining the process you go through to create . In my mind a creator that gives away their freebies , has a huge heart. Blessings to you Amanda. 😍😍 And a big thankyou. From Australia.
This really really spoke to me. I am a small timer here on RUclips, but I can totally relate! I absolutely love crafting and find you to be delightful. Thank you for sharing great ideas and crafts. 😍
Thank you so much I got your back don't worry we can stand together xx
That was me! I wanted the little green guy from the Halloween collection. Thank you for calling me lovely 😂. One of my very best friends is a digital creator and she gets frustrated by the same things you do. With the thousands of people that love you, there is always the one or two that can bring everything down. It's very sad how rude and demanding some people can be. Social media has damaged social skills when you sit behind a screen all the time. Hugs to you!
Yes it is the downside to social media.. it riles me sometimes but we just have to focus on the good and carry on x
Opinion and rudeness are two totally different things…hate rude people. Amanda so glad you took a stance and drove that karma 🚌 today.
As for the Facebook verses Kofi I tend to think of kofi as a selling site with benefits whereas face book is a place of inspiration, friendship and just somewhere you can be with likeminded people.
This copyright thing this is a Minefield of complexity and you explained that very well. Some people really want far too much and I am so glad you say no!
These big name creators that use other creators ideas are beyond. I have said on a couple of channels where I know a certain piece of work has been created by someone else I tend to mention that I have done this before and mention the original creator. You say using your measurements and creating an online class is rude- I call it theft!!!! Credit where credit is due no excuse!!
Thanks Penny no excuse for it is there .. easier to be nice or say nothing x
@ absolutely
Bravo! You do not have to leave yourself available to someone like that. You can even ban them from your RUclips channel and they won't know they've been banned. I appreciate everything you share and give us on your channel. Experience, ideas, problem solving and just showing different ways of doing the same thing benefits everyone participating in watching the videos.
Well done to you for refusing this person , you bring so much fun and generosity to your videos, there is no room for nasty people in this world, rant over x
Good for you. You don't have to put up with bullies. Just delete them. Not all of us Americans are rude. Thanks for the explanation of how the digital license works. I always wondered about that.
Good on you girl! There’s no excuse for rudeness. You just keep doing what you’re doing xx
I agree with you 💯. As a fellow RUclipsr and digital creator, I've come across most of what you've been talking about. At the start of this year I had another large channel make a really big stink and cast aspersions in my direction. I was so confused as I'd given them credit for the idea. But they wanted blood. It annoyed me too as I've had SO many channels take my original designs and make them in a tutorial and not give credit - but I didn't cause a raucous like this particular channel did!!! Unbelievable!! As for rude comments - I've definitely had a few of them too!! I usually reply with a really nice comment - so they don't get the dopamine hit they're looking for!!! 😂 I remember being told to Read, Block (if necessary), and Delete. So that's what I go to if it's really not an appropriate comment. ❤
Yeah after the amount of years I have been at it I just shrug at copycats who don't give credit.. Seen one today who has totally ripped of one of my high viewing videos.. but meh life is too short isn't it and I just think well it is inspiring even more people so it is all good. You are always going to get some who just don't want their ideas being used and get funny.. well they should keep their ideas and not share them then simple. Keep doing what you do your work is awesome x
@Scrimpingmommy Absolutely! It's not worth the extra stress worrying about it. Do you have an email address I could contact you on? Or Instagram msg? I wanted to run something past you. 😊😊
You are a gem! Love your attitude and your obvious love of crafting 💕
Thank you Jackie and thanks for watching x
Well said on all matters! All the aforementioned subjects are exactly the reason I create only for my own personal enjoyment. I don’t want to deal with any of the hassles associated with being a RUclips creator and crafter. You are a strong and brave woman for having a channel, putting yourself out there, and dealing with all the challenges. Kudos to you!
Thank you Morgaine xx
Amanda, you are such a balanced individual. You have addressed these issues with such grace. Thank you for all you do. It’s nice to hear you are happy in life. Clearly some people are not and maybe that’s where all the trouble starts.😜
Yeah you are right. Thank you for the support I really appreciate it x
It's so important to have boundaries in your life not just with crafting. Good for you for setting them. I wish I had done it sooner. I don't take advantage of freebies often as I don't have a printer but I appreciate that you offer them for people like me who can't afford digitals. Thank you for sharing your time and creativity with all of us. 💛
Thank you Susie and thanks for the support x
I found your channel years ago when I was new to paper crafting. I have learned so much from your content. Your infectious laugh and beautiful work keeps me coming back. I’m not on Facebook but have purchased many digitals from your Kofi shop. I love that you have freebies in your shop but always pay something for them because you deserve it.
I used some of your background papers to make albums with photos from my daughter’s wedding. They turned out gorgeous and just the right colors. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us all.
Love from Colorado.
Thank you Cheryl I appreciate your support x
Thank you for your generosity and wonderful ideas you share. love your work.
Amanda you are the sweetest lady and a great creator . I always enjoy the time I spend on your channel and the time I spend on your creations in my craft room they are a part of my happy place.❤😊😊😊
Thank you Alena so glad and are enjoying your creativity x
Good for you Amanda! We don't need rude people in our groups. We all support each other here. I, for one, am grateful for all you've shown me, both on fb and on kofi. Thanks for everything you do. Keep smiling, you cheer us up every day xx❤
Well said Amanda and you have always told the terms and conditions for your files. Sometimes with measurements it is acknowledge and some of us forget where we got them from. It is also when some companies tell you can case ideas. I will always give credit to those where I have got the files or I have bought the items from. I always try and buy the commerical licenses where as possible. Or I will give items for free or use them for my personal use for friends and families.
You are so wise and wonderful! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Some things need to be said! You have always inspired me so much and not just in being amazingly crafty, but also your philosophies about life and kindness and warmth which are so inspiring when things get tough in my own baby business. Thank you dear heart. Sending so much love and light. -Elizabeth H.
Thank you Elizabeth I appreciate your kind words x Amanda
Thank you for all your inspiration. I’ve watched you for years. Lovely idea you have. Keep sharing. Ugly behavior is not a happy person. Appreciate you.
Thank you Cathy x
I opened your video thinking it might be quite a downer this morning. Instead it had me giggling as I listened. I am totally flabbergasted some times when I read the comments from some people. I think that maybe those people are 'special needs' and have lost the ability to use their brains and manners. The same type of people who you see on the news without their teeth and bras. You know...the slugs.
Thank you so much for all your great content and freebies. 🥰 And thank you for the giggles this morning. I will be sure to bring my popcorn next time! 😄
Ha ha I don't do downers life is too short.. sometimes need to stand up for myself but beyond that nothing matters does it really x
Some people can be very difficult these days! But as you know there are still a lot of good ones in the world. Thank you for shielding the rest of us from this drama. Thank you for not letting the few bad apples ruin all the good fun things you provide for the rest of us who truly appreciate it!! ❤
Thank you lovely and thanks for watching x
I hate bullies! Take care and block them ❤
Well, I really, really appreciate you and love what you share with us. So sorry that people are being wicked toward you. Discussing the bad behaviour with the group is what you should do because this a group of friends, ❤️❤️
I hate rude, entitled bullies! especially the ones who do not pay attention or even bother to listen to your videos. This type of person has deep issues that they need to deal with, instead of being a horse's hinny. Good for you for setting boundaries. That kind of attitude is uncalled for. I love your videos and freebies and the digitals that you offer. I love that you are so personable, funny, and sweet. Thank you, Amanda! ❤😊
Thank you Shelia x
So very well put. Nothing you said was out of line and was totally reasonable. I'm sorry to hear you were ripped off by youtubers and those who made money on your creations. It opens one's mind. Fortunately this is rare and most people in the community are fabulous and supportive sharing people just like you are. ❤ 🎉
Thank you for the support and thanks for watching x
The rudeness is completely uncalled for! Thanks for all you do! I am new to your channel!
Thank you so much and thanks for joining the channel I really appreciate it x Amanda
Bravo!! Thanks for putting into words what I have observed for awhile. You did it with proper amount of kindness and firmness. You have really helped me process all these common creator issues.🥰
Firm but fair I think.. sometimes you gotta have your own back but not allow yourselves to get too bothered by other people. We cant control their actions only our reaction to it x
This is the first video that RUclips recommended to me. I loved your channel from your first words. I'm so glad I found you and can't wait to create with some of your beautiful papers!
OOoops having me ranting is not the best recommendation ha ha ha .. but thank you I normally am very upbeat and a bit silly.. You will like the channel for sure x
I have to say that you are right on the mark with rude and insulting people. I also am from the US. I try to be so very careful when I download freebies. I’m a retired graphic designer (I’m not an artist mind you) and I understand your feelings of your work getting ripped off. You are very generous with your time and knowledge. I appreciate it very much. You are an inspiration to all of us
Thank you so much Holly x
Sweet Amanda, please try to ignore the haters. They are miserable & want everyone else to join them. You work very hard to share your talent & ideas with all of us & the vast majority of us are definitely appreciative. Your generosity & creativity make us happy and we enjoy all of your unique projects. We look forward to see what you have made and are kind enough to share with the rest of the crafting world. Keep on doing what you are doing & pay no mind to the haters that don't have the decency to acknowledge your contributions. You are AMAZING & deserve RESPECT & PRAISE for your efforts!!! Thank you for being you!!!!💗💗💗
I really enjoy your videos and all of your hard work providing us with these beautiful journal ideas and printables. Don't pay any attention to the haters. You don't deserve that. Thank you so much for everything you do.
Love your channel and bless you for everything you do. Thank you for the lovely freebies and your instructions and getting us crafting. ❤️
You are so welcome x
Well said Amanda 👏 You are a superstar 🥰 I am so happy to follow you, because you are honest, inspiring and talented. You don't deserve any disrespect or rudeness, shame on them. Keep being you, that's why I love your videos ❤️ thanks for sharing and happy crafting Hugs xx
Hi Amanda, can I just say I love your direct way of dealing with things & good on ya for using your right to reply.
I've been watching your RUclips channel for a while now (at the back of the class, saying nowt 😅). Yesterday, I joined your Facebook group, not just for the freebies, 😉 but because I want to find other crafters & journallers,, share ideas etc & support you.
I've also explored your Ko-fi thingy a bit (not a platform I'm familiar with).
I think you're a phenomenon (🎵do doo be do do 🎵) , your digital designs are beautiful & your tutorials are fab! ❤
Thank you ❤
Ha ha ha thank you Kaz I appreciate the support xx
Amanda-your videos are fabulous! I haven’t been working on journals lately due to health reasons but when I get my life back on track, your videos will be some of the first I watch regularly! I’m sorry for the rudeness you experienced! You are as sweet as they come!!! Take care & God Bless!
A great chat Amanda. It's good to understand all that's going on in your world which most of us don't know. Rude people are everywhere & I applaud your attitude in dealing with them. Hopefully those people are few & far between & most of us get on & enjoy what we're doing. Thanks again for all you do for us, 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Lorna and thanks for taking time to watch x
Hi there from Canada. I really appreciate how much you work you do for us. You’re right, there are some people out there with no sense of what actual manners are…I grew up going to Catholic school with strict, but fair nuns who imparted these concepts of how to “comport yourselves, ladies”…..I can still hear echoes of Sister Maris Stella! Thank you so much for your hard work, and for giving us these beautiful projects.❤
Amanda, I have loved you and your channel from the first day I found you and that hasn't changed. What always saddens me is the trolls, the slugs, the meanies and the cheaters. I always feel like they are hurting not only you but the rest of us as well. So many newbies starting out are so sensitive to the mean and nasty replies that they decide it is not worth their effort and so they leave and take all the wonderful creative ideas with them. I wish we could put up a wall of shame and their names could be displayed for all to see, the only problem with that idea is so many if them do not even recognize how rude they are. Love your perspective and you handled this like the pro that you are.
Yeah that is my main worry that it will discourage others so I speak up for everyone x
So sorry for dealing with crazy, rude people. Really think they are mentally off. Always enjoy your videos so thank you😊
You have been so kind in your comments to the ‘Negative Nellie’ that you encountered. If she had been at a table with me, I’d probably have been wise to just get up, pack up my belongings, and leave without saying anything that I was thinking! You’ve handled this like the lovely lady that you are. 🥰
I was very restrained ha ha ha x
Good for you!! It's the only way to sort cyber bullies!! Thank you for all the work you do and all your lovely digitals.
Luckily there are many more lovely people on your group than uglies, and a "Ban user" function for the latter ❤❤
Thank you so much for the support i really appreciate it x
OMG some people are horrible so sorry to hear this. I am always looking forward to watching you to see what you have created I appreciate you and everything you do ❤
Sorry you have copped this hun I still haven’t come back from been bullied find it very hard. Knowing you from over time you are such a beautiful person good on you for standing up xx
Cant let them win nope .. ha ha thanks for the support x
Your a great Creator and so generous sharing your work. I love your videos. I will never understand why people are so rude.🥰😊
Thank you so much Margaret always so supportive x
Thank you for sharing your creativity
So sorry there are so many rude and in titled people in our crafting community
💜
Amada I just want to say I am so sorry that there are trolls like that out there. I don't get it but that is me. I have never done any creating but I do know how much work is involved in producing kits and images and I am soooooo freaking grateful that there are people out there like you who love doing it. I don't think you should ever feel bad for having to get things off your chest. You are not a doormat so you just do what you need to do and keep on enjoying it. I love your videos and your group and your freebies too... lots of love from South Africa 🥰
Thank you Valerie I appreciate your words of support xx
Thanks for this video, particularly info about the challenge. I haven’t ever participated in a challenge before and really didn’t know what to do with that. So, now I know I can participate through Facebook and share my projects as well. On the other note, unfortunately social media has developed a lot of rude and entitled people. I guess they feel they can say things on their screen and not face to face and they feel they can say anything they want. I will say that I have written things, that when I read back, it may sound harsh when that wasn’t my intention. It’s hard to show inflection and emotion in written words for most people. Obviously, your experiences are more harsh than what I’m speaking about, and I’m sorry people have been rude to you. Most of us value your hard work and really appreciate all you do for us. Much love to you! And, we would love to hear those names🤨😇hahaha
Thank you Laney I do hope you feel comfortable to join in and share your work xx
Good on you girl, I’m not on your FB as I don’t have it but I love all your work and appreciate everything you do and produce on your channel.
Glad you are keeping your chin up dealing with unhappy/Rude people. ❤️
Thanks for everything you do ❤
You are so welcome xx
Call out the bully. I'd say the name. Be kind or scroll on I say. You are a kind lady.❤
