Which came first - scrapbooking or stamping? Blog Hop 3/2/12

Welcome to the Which came first - scrapbooking or stamping? Blog Hop.  Thanks for joining me.




Memories In Tyme Blog Hop
I started scrapbooking because I wanted to make these wonderful layouts for my family albums.  I must say that my skills as a scrapbooker have grown exponently as time goes by.  I started scrapbooking approximately 25 years ago and I absolutely love it.   I am going to show you an example of one of my first layouts I ever did and then I am going to show you an example of my more current work.  Hopefully you will see a big difference in my style. 

My earlier layout:

WOW! Your "before" layout is definitely simple but at least you had photo mats! :) Your more recent work is so gorgeous I am now a follower! :) Can't wait to see more and watch you grow as a scrapper! :)

Big big difference but at least you used color paper and matting. I used white pages and just cut pics and threw them on. LOL I love your monkey pages especially the monkey one. As always I love your style.

Vicki said...
