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. I got the large brown suitcase at my LSS for 10.00, brand new. I was so excited until I went to pack it for a crop - there was not much room in it, so I did not take it very often. Fast forward a few years and I decided to bring it to a crop because I wasn't taking much. I opened it up and put it on the floor get ready to pack. I came back and one of my cats decided it was a new litter box and PEED in it! I was not happy with him, to say the least. I tried unsuccessfully to get the smell out, but had to toss it in the end.

This whole thread is reminding me that I seriously need to de-stash. I could probably find 90% of items mentioned above. I'm pretty sure I won't be using Hot Off the Press papers or Paperkins ever again.
I was the black sheep at every CM crop, with my (gasp!) full-page pocket pages, colored cardstock backgrounds and non-CM stickers that I purchased at a local bookstore. Fortunately, I had easy going reps, and I did buy albums, tools, and lots of other CM items. Still, I got the side eye from a few other croppers, and always felt a little weird about it.

kitbop - my DH has my old PSB (and a couple of others) that he uses for his patch collection. I loved CADD back in the day also - and like you, I had small children then - my kids were almost 2 and 10 when I started scrapping (the little one wouldn't come along for some years still). Never mastered the coluzzles and I coveted the Prima bottles but was scrapping on a tight budget and never owned one. I still have my colour-blocking templates and design books from Deluxe Cuts - I pull them out now and then when I have a lot of photos (I scrap 8.5x11 so PL doesn't work well for me)

Remember the Provo Craft Slab circa 2001? On the old two peas board there was a thread where several peas were laughing about them and of course someone came on the thread and said they still use them. Kind of sucked the humor out of it but the comment was funny it its own way. I won't be offended if you laugh or poke fun. I still have a Hot Off The Press Paper Pizzazz paper pad - Chocolate. I actually just pulled out one of the papers to include in a page kit for my retreat next week. It won't be the base of my page, but will work for an accent. The paper is thin & single-sided, but I still like some of the prints. I did purge the papers I didn't like. I love that you shared that with us. I'm sure I have some things in my stash that others would laugh at. I'm sure we all do. I went through my stash to purge recently and found some of the things mentioned in this thread.

I still have a few bottles of flowers! They were expensive, too. $6 or $7 per bottle, if I remember correctly.

Remember Culuzzles? You had to cut the templets out on a glass mat with a special swivel knife to get the circle, star or whatever shape. And we used them to cut our pictures into shapes! I have old albums with oval shaped pictures in layouts. What were we thinking? No, the Blade Runner used the glass mats. The Coluzzles used spongy "packing material" mats. I never cut pictures with the Coluzzle. Just shapes for cards and scrapbooking pages. Rather that cut a picture, I have cut a shape out of cards
I think I was one of the few people who could actually cut successfully with a Blade Runner.
I remember the pink ATG craze. I bought my pink ATG from one of the recommended online stores. I later bought a second one because DH likes it too and kept stealing it for a project he was working on.

I loved all things Basic Grey around 2006. I still miss that their designs had a bit of an edgy feel to them. I quit scrapping for a while and didn't come back to it until 2013 when I discovered PL. By then, Basic Grey was basically gone or it was shortly after that. I also still have my Making Memory tool set that includes an eyelet setter & some of the metal stuff they came out with but for some reason just can't quit part with. I still have some of the prima flowers.

I wish I still had my CM circle cutter. I seriously think that was the best tool. I got rid of all my stuff years ago and now that I've come back to it, I'm really kicking myself with all the stuff that I sold. I have seriously toyed with the idea of buying a new one.

Remember all the clear albums? And the paper bag albums?

I have a lime green ATG gun that I use all the time! It matches my Scrapbook room and is lovely! Wait??!! there is a lime green one? I have the original red one that is getting very sticky and hard to clean- my craft room is lime green and white. I think I could be persuaded to buy another one- just for a spare of course!! Corinne

Remember all those "frappuccino" style bottles of prima flowers. I had to have them all. Dozens of bottles, every color of flowers. Only to later realize, how much space all those bottles took up. Dumped all the flowers into one big container, and threw away the bottles. Oh man, I remember them costing quite a lot here in the UK and knowing that I was probably going to buy them all, but I couldn't just buy them all at the one time cause that would be a massive outlay. I would just buy one at every crop and then spend ages choosing which colour I would choose to buy next time lol! Then my friend and I wised up and would buy a bottle each and split them I still have 6 - the only ones I bought and they have about an inch missing from the top of them. I actually have and still do use them on my layouts but I am sure they are multiplying by themselves as there never seems to be a major decrease! Corinne

There's one on the wall in the lounge! Above the heart. I also have one on a little easel in my bedroom, I loved them! Mind you, I loved everything 7Gypsies at one stage, I was a massive fangirl. I remember doing a blog post about how much I loved them and they left me a comment, I was buzzing for days over that!!!

Kind of sucked the humor out of it but the comment was funny it its own way. Ha! That was probably me! I stand by my comment. I didn't LOVE all of them, but I did use most of the stack and I'm still holding onto scraps of my favorite sheets (mainly holiday themed). I used the St. Patrick's Day papers on a wood project not too long ago.

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. Swaps are why I have very few albums too. I loved swapping.

Oh I JUST recently (well within the last 2 years...haha) bought a replacement blade for my knife.... I dig those out once and awhile still. But I didn't use a glass mat.. there was a foamy type mat so that the knife would easily swivel.... I don't remember the glass mat part.... Coluzzles was the name.. maybe there was two different things? You are correct, the mat was foamy. I have two stuck together that I use to store my fancy brads. Glass would break the blade. I have a glass mat but it was not for the system it was for something else. I still have it and all the system. Lol

I discovered Coluzzles right around the time they were discontinued--I searched high and low for replacement blades, bought several, and am pretty sure I've never changed it. I use the circles every once in awhile and I was sooooo excited at a crop this spring when someone put a set of circles on a "trash to treasure" type table because I didn't have that circle set!

Remember when I was a CM consultant back in the day and was told by my up line I’d be fired if I continued to show customers how to make shaker boxes?
Remember when there was a whole aisle of making memories products in the craft stores and wanting to buy every single thing?

Made color coordinating papers easy for a beginner, though.

Dumped all the flowers into one big container, and threw away the bottles. I had milk bottle envy! I had two or three bottles. I now just have one small bag of the smallest flowers left. I used all the bigger ones.

I loved the MAMBI lines with the stick figures. My kids were just the perfect ages to use these on pages! In fact, I’m drinking my coffee this morning out of my MAMBI mug! It’s my favorite because it’s just a little bigger than the average mug.

I enjoyed reading all of these! I started with CM in1996 as my friend was a consultant. I do have my share of finished 12x12 CM albums from when my girls were young. I like looking at the memories just wished Indidnt cut photos in all those shapes. Haha I remember when I first started scrapbooking away from CM and the looks and comments at crops. 😆
