Devastated by retired designers...

[Ebony]

I've just started scrapping again after losing my stash a few years ago when I lost my computer (I know, I know, I should have backed up!) and I must say... it's hurting.

Most of my fave designers seemed to have retired:
La Grier, Lauren Reid, Micheline Martin, Fee Jardine, Zoe Pearn, Em Merritt and so many of Jenn Barrett 's old kits. (so glad she's back but I had so so many of her old kits and the d/l links are now dead of course...)

How do you guys deal with the loss of your fave designers? Or a harddrive crash? I feel like I'm still in mourning and needed to vent

Does anyone have suggestions to designers with similar doodley / arty styles as these legends? I love hand drawn elements and alphas you can customise with different papers.

PLEASE HELP!
