What's the oldest SSD product in your stash?

[craftytam]

I think kits from Krystal & Zoe are the oldest in my stash. I still LOVE this one from Krystal!

 

[MamaBee]

What a trip down memory lane! So many great designers that I wish would come out of retirement!

According to the store's order history, my first kit that I purchased was Ice Capades by Kay Miller... I don't remember that kit and I can't find it on my server... the second purchase was Holly Jolly by Melissa Bennett in November of 2008.

I joined the forums in April of 2008, but I know I was purchasing before that time. I vaguely remember that the payment system needed to be redone, and I printed out all my purchases, but I can't find it. I found an Excel worksheet of an index to digital kits I kept on CD. The first SSD thing I saw of SSD was Volume 2 2007 Quarterly Assortment, but I can't locate the CD. I found this one from 2008 in my stash by Melissa Bennett - still hoping to use it! LOL

Oh my gosh - I still have this somewhere. They were the prettiest papers!

I've kept this. This is cheating because she wasn't a designer here (I think she was going to at one point? IDK my memory is bad) but back in the day when we had really big collections, there were designers who would have purchases for CDs and they would be mailed out. Kind of crazy to think how far things have come. Jen Wilson was also a powerhouse and her papers were to die for

eta: please excuse my horrible wording here.. i think i'm tired

Kristin - I still have your kit Hey Mr. Weatherman on my hard drive with a preview dated back to 2004.


I still have a lot of Dani Mogstad's things from the mid to late 00s as well. My earliest SSD shoppe freebie is Hey Girlfriend from NSD 2008.

I have no idea how to figure out what I still have from 'back in the day' but my first 10 purchases were all alphas lol Apparently I was a huge Darcy Baldwin alpha fan!

Oh I have an old EHD upstairs with all of my old stuffs from the early years. I don't drag it out very often as it is cranky and I'm afraid it'll break on me. I've got stuff from everyone people have mentioned so far LOL
Krystal Hartley, Traci Reed (way early years), Manda Bean, and lots of Dani Mogstad, folders of Cookies templates, Flergs, there's even a few Robin Carlton things. I'm pretty sure I had at least a couple of things from everyone in the store over the years.
It's a treasure trove of goodies that are so fun to look through on occasion. I still use a few things here and there that I've copied from drive to drive as I fill them up

I think the oldest might be some items of Julie Billingsley:


Or these from Shawna Clingerman:

 

[CathQuillScrap]

I started acquiring digital stash way before I actually started digital scrapbooking. I have cds full of stash from 2009 I think. I still remember the freebies off the SSD blog ... must really go dig those cds out and see if I can retrieve stuff.
Looking through my file of orders the oldest thing I have is from 2017, a freebie from Brooke Magee - Singleton 66. I didn't keep the previews from those days but see it is in the store still

my first layouts uploaded here were from 2009

 

[Romajo]

Decided to check my account in the shop to see if I could find my first purchase...
And I did: Template Set 12 by Cindy Schneider, bought on 8/21/2011.
I happen to still have it, not sure if I have ever used it though:

 

[LynnZant]

I checked my order history, and a Cindy template set is the oldest on my drive. Now I'm wondering what happened to all my earlier purchases. I don't even remember who MandaBean was, but I guess I liked her Friend In Me Bundle enough to buy it.

 

[TraceyM]

It's amazing how much everyone has changed as designers through the years.

 

[catgoddess]

My oldest stuff is from KCB. My first SSD purchase was Flourish from waaaay back in 2009.

 

[Kim Hansen]

These kits have to be close to 15-17 years old. I remember how thrilled I was when I stumbled on to Sweet Shoppe Designs. It has blessed my life.

OMG I loved Jen Wilson back in the day LOL! I participated in a weekly challenge chat on her site with her until she poof disappeared.

folder says 2007
This might be the oldest purchase - I can't tell because I have to click into each thing to see the properties since they got copied to a new drive and redated. I have Dani Mogstad, Bartolini, Pearn, 2007 Quarterlies

And I lurved the Cookie Decorating Freebies enough to add to my calendar to make sure I would not miss the next year LOL
