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.

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:

Amy Jo's Birthday Bash Blog Hop Feb. 28-29

                                      

Good morning, fabulous friends and welcome to Amy Jo's Birthday Bash & Blog Hop! We are so excited you could join us today to help celebrate Amy's birthday!

This is a very special unique hop as we were not required to just stick with one particular subject or theme. Amy asked us all to use any of her favorite things to create a card or project with that in mind. Some examples of Amy's favorite things are the colors black, white, and hot pink, along with anything Alice in Wonderland, she listed some of her favorite animals, etc!

If you arrived here from Creative Kuts - http://creativekuts.blogspot.com/, then you are in the right place! If you just happened upon my blog today, please start at the beginning with Amy Jo http://lv2scrapandfibrofacts.blogspot.com because you don't want to miss out on the fabulous prizes that are being sponsored!

This is a two-day hop; however, we are only making one project. That should give you two full days to go through the entire hop and leave comments on each blog and become followers of each blog, if you are not already, to be entered to win some of our sponsored prizes! Some blogs may be offering blog candy as well so this is a hop you're gonna wanna finish!

My project is a one page layout utilizing some of Amy Jo's fave colors and she also stated she loves monkeys. I figured I'd use sock monkeys, who doesn't love those. Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you so much for joining us and helping us celebrate along with Amy! Your next stop is the talented Suzanne-http://cricutcraftingrammy.blogspot.com. Please stop again soon for another great project.
