I still have the kit for the original SSD design team call (I got a no letter then aswell

Not something I'm overly proud of. for some reason, i still have that B-U disk, which includes all the original Atomic Cupcake and RetroDiva stuff, some of Eva's from her previous store and I think some of Misty's too. I will see if I can dig some of them out in the morning.

You ladies are so brave! I started waaaay more recently than you and I've already hidden my earliest kits where no one can find them LOL- thanks for sharing!!!

How fascinating--I am so new to digi and had no idea what kits looked like before!! It's amazing how they have changed! Thanks for sharing!

Isn't it amazing how much your designs have all changed in really a very short time.

...ain't technology wonderful

Who's going to be the next brave soul to show off their very first kit for us?? We want more!!

DUDES. I. Win. Hands down on the ugly kit contest. I mean "show us your first kits". I started in 2004 and EVERYTHING looked like this. BLEH. I didn't even have these anymore but my mother's a hoarder so I got some previews from her. Shield your eyes!

That's Hawt.

OMG, Traci! I *love* that neon pink one! :: cough :: or... something like that

But actually, the blue and green one is pretty cute

oh DANG traci, Thanks...now I'm going to be seeing spots all day (I think I may have permanent eye damage)...

You started designing in 2004?? what were you, like 14??

Valgal · #61 08-08-2010, 02:56 PM

Traci, were you selling at Scrapbook Bytes back then? I started secretly digiscrapping back in '05 and there wasn't much out there. I didn't want my paper scrapping friends to find out because everyone called it 'cheating'.

I never sold there, I started at some start ups that have since gone out of business, started The Daily Scrap with Kristi Reever, quickly learned that she was bad mojo (she later closed down the site and ran with all the designers' money) and then started Scrapmommies for myself. When I decided to close that down, I went to ACOT, then SBG and now Here

This thread is really fun reading

It's amazing to see how your style had improved (sorry

) over a few years.

It makes me think, how would it look like 2-3 years ahead........

I think your stuff are georgous today.
