As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I receive a monthly magazine called Stampin’ Success. I actually have allllllll of mine since becoming a demo in 1996 and wow has the publication improved over the years!
As I thumbed through the June 2005 issue, it became quickly apparent that what goes around does indeed come around. Here are some of the highlights from June 2005 – only 11 years ago.
- Frogs, dots and butterflies were big.
- Waterfall cards were hot.
- Scrapbooking was hot. Sara was making a scrapbook for her dad.
- The Stamp-a-ma-jig was a ‘go-to’ tool even then.
- Stampin’ Up! was already providing quality training and support on the Demo website.
- More Mustard, Brocade Blue, Sage Shadow, Taken with Teal and French Blue colors were “in”.
- Swirly Bird patterns decorated the magazine.
- A mini catalog was about to be launched.
- Demonstrators were phoning in their orders to Demonstrator Support.
- Craft organization was a key issue for demonstrators and stampers even then, so much that President Jerry Day related his experience about completing a craft room for his wife. Somewhere back then there was a stamp, that Jerry talked about so it was in this time period, that said “HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE”.
- Stampin’ Up! was just beginning to expand into ‘foreign language’ realms: Stampin’ Up! Canada was about to expand into French-speaking Quebec – Stampin’ Up!’s first adventure into a non-English speaking area.
- The beautiful Riverton campus (visitor center, business offices, warehouse and distribution center) was about to open!
I just went through the photos on my computer and came to the realization that I’ve pulled the SU! convention photos off so I couldn’t find a Riverton photo or a few others I wanted to share. So sad. Now my job is to locate the discs I burned them too and that won’t be happening today!!!
For the remaining days of June Stampin’ Up! is offering two free stamp sets when you sign on to be a demonstrator! I love FREE.
