Let's do another round of Remember When just for fun:
Remember when the ATG became all the rage on the pea board and many ordered from the framing supply store, and some from a pea that worked at 3M? I got mine from the 3M pea.
Remember when Becky Higgins sold her first Project Life on Jan 1st (yr??) and what a chaos that was? People didn't know if their order went through. Some people got emails. Some did not.
Oh the joys of scrapbooking!

Waiting at the mailbox for the latest issue of CK (or whatever scrapbook magazine) and then getting all upset because your issue didn't arrive before the newsstand? lol

I remember on the old Cricut board when everyone (including me!) was painting their ATG and Cuttlebugs, and decorating or altering them and their Cricuts in some way. I was so afraid I would ruin such an expensive tool when I took them apart.
My ATG and Cuttlebug are an off-white, no longer red and green, respectively.
My original Cricut was decorated with rub-on of flowers and had vinyl "Lil' Cricut" on the front panel. My Expressions has "Big Cricut" in bright blue sparkly vinyl on the front panel.
My poor Silhouette and Spellbinders P6 are plain.

Remember buying empty paint cans and decorating them with Chatterbox rooms and other patterned paper?
Remember those awful Making Memories paints that you daubed on with sponges making a big mess?

I still have mine (FAMILY) and one day I'm going to do it! I've been doing this so long I remember cutting photos with those zigzag scissors! (HORRORS!) I also have a case of small punches (snowman, Xmas tree, snowflake), never used them and probably never will, but I HAD to have them! |

@giantsfan reminded me:
1. Remember that special Cricut club where the members got special bracelets?
2. Remember when peas were solicited to be some sort of cricut trainers and a bunch flew out to Chicago in a matter of days? I was not interested, but definitely in on the excitement for them.

Chatterbox luggage.. You could buy the brown set but only the scrapbook stores got the pink ones and it was up to them if they wanted to sell them. Ummm yeah I HAD to have a pink one.. I have it and it sits in the closet.. It's still pretty and not very useful.

When the big name scrappers (Cathy Z. Ali E. etc) used scrapbook paper in their layouts? It's like once you hit celebrity status you can't use pattern paper anymore...

How about the chipboard albums that spelled LOVE, FAMILY, and BABY. I loved the concept and could never make one work for the life of me. Kitschy little albums that seemed like a good idea and weren't. What do you do with it afterward? |

My case of mini punches languished in the basement with my dgd’s art supplies for years until it was discovered by our 5 yo dgs the last time he was here. Did he ever punch up a storm! |

Adds a little something, but yeah, I just sent a bunch to Goodwill. |

There has to be 500 of them in there!! I can vaguely remember copying them from a friend and had unlimited copying access. I haven't even opened it up.... I saw the label and thought where did this come from? LOL... Maybe I will just do one for fun!!.. Actually one of my favorite layouts is with an adorable bear that I pieced together.. HA.. |

Kitschy little albums that seemed like a good idea and weren't. What do you do with it afterward? That reminds me that I did a FAMILY one for my mom. It was so hard to find pictures that fit. She displayed it in a basket in her living room for a few years. I’m sure someday I’ll run across it again. I did a Bo Bunny one with cascading pages too, it had different edges, scalloped, zig zag, etc. |

Furry P....I still use my ATG that I bought from the 3M lady!
I had a binder full of paper piecing designs. For whatever reason I decided to Ebay it during the height of the piecing craze. It was the funnest thing ever to watch the bidding go nuts the last 10 minutes of the auction. I couldn't believe when I got $90 for that binder!

These are probably all things that we would sit here in the UK desperately wanting, but by the time they actually got to here, the craze was over and nobody wanted them anymore. Things used to take forever to get to us. Now we seem to get collections within a couple of days, sometimes we've even had things first but 10 years ago, we would wait weeks & weeks! That's why I loved Studio Calico cause I would get new products reasonably quickly from them. Sometimes I would be ordering loads of things and selling them on the black market at the LSS hahaha!

I remember paper piecing! I loved it and have a couple of pages I made with tall bunnies that are adorable! Remember being in a million swaps? For many years my scrapbooking consisted of swapping and collecting supplies thus the reason I have very few albums for someone who has done this for 20 years!
I still have a lot of punches but did purge a bunch recently. I also still have all of my decorative scissors. They’re in a case where they don’t take up much room so I keep them.

Supposedly they would say it was my mail person but really, the mail man was always taking mine to read before giving it to me?? Even after I moved towns he was still apparently borrowing mine to get the latest scrapbooking news lol! SaveSave |

I had to look up paper piecing since I didn't start scrapbooking until 2008. What is the difference between paper piecing and cutting a file with multiple layers with a die cut machine? |

Back in the day there were no die cutting machines. You would get print outs of all the pieces of an item, trace them onto cardstock and cut them by hand. I had a whole set of a product called Scrappy Cats. They were little binders of layout ideas. There was a website where you could go and download the cut out pages. "Some" of us very diligently downloaded and printed every single one of them and put them in a very big binder. A very big binder that sat on a shelf and got used no more that a dozen times. There were also EBay sellers who sold completed paper piecings. A have a couple of cowgirls that came from New Zealand on a layout. |

Remember using the Paperkin people and “customizing “ them to look like the people on the layouts?

Honestly there isn't a difference though.. just really manual vs the machines.. of course manually they are pretty primitive compared to a die cut machine one. Also it seems or what I remember it consisted mainly of bunnies, dogs, cats or some type of animal. I could be wrong.. or maybe that is what I liked. |

I agree it was primarily animal themed. Very cutesy. Yuck! Remember all the lettering books too? I think BH may have had some at the tail end of that craze, but I can vividly buying lettering books so I could make fancy titles. I was way more into that then paper piecing. |

Remember all 'fights' or we would talk about CM vs. everyone else in the scrapping world. If a die hard CM person found out you used non-CM stuff, it was like the end of the world... and they would be dead serious. Made everyone afraid to go to any crop sponsored by CM...
