Retired Kits...

[maryinaz]

...do you still scrap with them and post the layouts in the gallery? I still use kits that are retired as I just use what matches my photos - whether it's the colors or the theme. But is it helpful to SSD or the designers to even post those layouts in the gallery if someone can't buy the kit anymore?

On the one hand, it might be frustrating not to be able to buy the kit, on the other, it might send someone to the shop looking through what's available.

Is there a rule on this?

Yes I still scrap with them!!! Otherwise shouldn't we *rent* the kit instead of purchasing it? hmmm? lol

yea I still use them. If it is for a challenge I will post it. I do not post every layout I make though. Some are just for my family or just for me

I still use them, and post them if the designer is still here. I don't think it can hurt the designer or SSD to do so - it could introduce someone to a designer whose style they love but haven't seen before!

There was a question about using retired kits for the Portfolio challenges. Not an answer directly to your question, but maybe a little info might be there: https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/forum/showthread.php?p=692357#post692357

Thank goodness because I've hoarded lots of kits that have yet to be used that are now retired :thumbup:

I still use them, and if I upload I just put retired in brackets in case anyone goes searching for it! :)

Thanks for all your input and Robin, thanks for that link - that cleared it up!

Yeah what fun would the GGG sale be if you couldn't post the pages you make with your loot? :)
