ust imagine a color blind visionary, Mark Durham, starting a wholesale
design and manufacturing company inspiring individuals to celebrate and remember what they value most in their lives. Add some fresh color, innovative papers and gazillions of coordinating products, and you have IMAGINISCE®! We like to pronounce it this way: Im-aj’-e-nis. But we’re flexible. (You can make it more fun by saying it with your best cheesy grin.)
Mark Durham started his first company twenty-five years ago with no products, no customers, a supportive wife, five kids, and a dream. He spent most of his career servicing Fortune 100 companies with recognition jewelry. He actually manufactured his products in his own Arizona-based factory. He’s somewhat of a Willa Wonka in the world of design and innovation. After developing embellishments for our buddies at Bazzill Basics Papers, a class-act cardstock company that all scrapbookers know and love, we decided to launch the Imaginisce brand.
Our first mission is to create many great jobs for good people, including family members. Durham Brands, our parent company, is made up of about 35 creative individuals. Jeff, Ben, and Jacob -Mark’s sons - are employed full-time. Mark now has 17 grandchildren that will have the opportunity to apply to work at their Grandpa’s
28 scrapbook business
company. Each member of the team is considered family, and is encouraged to involve their children in the company.
Imaginisce is dedicated to aligning with popular trends, as shown by their most recent innovations, in the tools category. The i-top™ brad, button, and magnet maker, helps people create custom projects, home décor items, and even hair and apparel accessories. The new i-rock™ hot-fix gem tool, is all the rage, helping creative individuals bling everything they can get their pink i-rock on. We see a major trend in baking, particularly in cupcakes, and will be unveiling a new tool to support this category this summer. Stay tuned for more innovations from your pals at Imaginisce. What will we come up with next? Just imagine.
We want to thank the many retailers around the world that have made it possible for us to create new jobs for good people. We believe that if we innovate as partners we will not only survive, but will thrive together. We couldn’t do any of this without great customers. Thank you from the bottom of our creative hearts!
