How were we ever going to live without them!?

This 30th birthday bash invitation is the reason I brought them to your attention:

I don’t think this invitation, for a weekend to Yosemite National Park and it’s “Party Shack” would fly today.  Should I admit that I most likely helped my daughter make them?  I do still love the color combo but those colors are gone.  Gable Green.  Lovely Lilac.  Pink Passion.  Those were the days.

Isn’t it fun to see the way Stampin’ Up! and styles in general evolve?  If you have a throwback that you’re willing to share, please send it to me in an email and I’ll post it.  I think these things are just great!
