I scrapped those pages (albeit with oddly cropped photos and sticker sneeze) and that was enough to hook me for life. Over 15 books just for boys later, plus 8-10 random scrapbooks, endless mini-books, and more and more altered projects I know this is a necessary part of me.Spongemom Scrappantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776676455177406796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-78465481643834691782008-06-17T08:55:00.000-04:002008-06-17T08:55:00.000-04:00Since my story is to long to put into a comment bo...Since my story is to long to put into a comment box - i will write a blog tomorrow with photos just so you can go read it.. :p<BR/><BR/>But lets say like you I started out as a child - when Princess Diana died I remember the day it was when I was doing some course thing for my confirmation to catholism (my old religion/faith) - and I didnt know who this lady was but i was deeply effected and moved by her death I filled up to paper scrapbooks (the kind kids would use in school) with photos of her from maggies and news papers and all sorts of things - i went through years worth of old maggies to get pics. <BR/><BR/>I eventually got over that and moved on....and 2004 my mum got a book out of the library dont know why but thats where it started...my first layout was of my sisters wedding. It took me a year to actaully do the page (had to get photos from my sister) and it went from there...Bronwyn Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653410396012033716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-75624910967025693372008-06-16T22:16:00.000-04:002008-06-16T22:16:00.000-04:00I became addicted to SB while stamping...making ca...I became addicted to SB while stamping...making cards etc. I Love the creative side to this and it really helps me relax. I too had many creative pictures to transform. I love the way you can really pull out many different things in a picture by adding an embellishment, or ribbon or what ever your fancy. I just really enjoyed this because you can include the little ones in what you are doing.

I hav to admit I never did finish my grad scrapbook (its still in planning, lol) but I'v almost perfected cardmaking (lol) and hav done quite a bit of scrapbooking. also like u I come from a very crafty family so I hav help and support all around.Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716052730769468684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-412278666672139152008-06-16T12:23:00.000-04:002008-06-16T12:23:00.000-04:00Mine started by listening to 2 co-workers in the l...Mine started by listening to 2 co-workers in the lunch room talk about their scrapping & card making passion. When my parents decided to move up by us...2 states away after having lived inthe same house for 50 years, I decided that I wanted to make them a scrapbook of the process from their move out, to buying a piece of land, to having a house built, & finally to moving into their new house. As I started this both of my co-workers moved out of state so I was basically onmy own. I got an album, a Fiskars paper trimmer, & some adhesive. I started reading idea books & checking out scrapbooking websites. The book turned out pretty well for my 1st one & almost 4 years later my parents keep it out on their coffee table & show it to every new visitor they get. Needless to say I am hooked & loving every second of this passion of mine.Tonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17445379800895713746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-32720927194484735332008-06-16T12:17:00.000-04:002008-06-16T12:17:00.000-04:00When we bought our fixer upper home I wanted to do...When we bought our fixer upper home I wanted to document what we were doing.

My cousin had just come back from their honeymoon and she made a scrapbook about it. I loved it. So inturn I decided I should make one about the camping trip I was going on. When I got home I went shopping at Joann fabrics and the dollar store and got a ton of stuff. It is my very first attempt at scrapbooking and gosh is that thing hidious!! Now about 6 years later I have greatly evolved. I can even see a difference in my craft since I joined Fiskateers in December. I'm hooked. It is soo relaxing and so fulfilling. Unfortunatly it is also soo expensive on a college student budget. :DBeckabear3213https://www.blogger.com/profile/14434206630959004207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-80750494674176653582008-06-16T10:51:00.000-04:002008-06-16T10:51:00.000-04:00I got started about a year after my first DD was b...I got started about a year after my first DD was born. I was looking for a new hobby and had all kind of pictures of her that I was interested in preserving. DH actually suggested trying to do a scrapbook for her. I thought he was crazy because I didn't have a "creative" bone in my body. It turns out I had a knack for it and I actually enjoyed doing it. I was hooked. This was in Late 2006 and now almost 2 years later I make time every week to scrap. I love going to the LSS and love learning new techniquest. I have completed my first DD's album for her first year and have started her second album. I love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-62756833667544838132008-06-16T10:36:00.000-04:002008-06-16T10:36:00.000-04:00I started scrapbooking 5 years ago when Archivers ...I started scrapbooking 5 years ago when Archivers opened in our town. I had never heard of them, let along a LSS, so I thought I would go and check it out. The minute I stepped in the door, it was like I came home to the mother ship. Oh my goodness... so many good things to see!<BR/>I would try to cram as many pictures on each layout as possible and I think I used decorative edged scissors on everything! I know my style and taste has evolve, but I wouldn't trade those early pages for anything.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307944475928533388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26490438.post-78747151419216331352008-06-16T10:32:00.000-04:002008-06-16T10:32:00.000-04:00I got hooked on scrapbooking when my nephew was bo...I got hooked on scrapbooking when my nephew was born in 2003.

I had/HAVE soo many photos lying around and wondered what should i doo with all them, put them into albums and it was just too blah.. then a friend introduced me into the world of Scrapbooking, but showing me her stash of gooides and her 1st scrapbook.. Now (1 year later) i can't leave the craft store, which i visit once to twice a week - without spending $50+ bucks.. All the stuff is soo neat, i buy it and now i have to figure out how to use it all!! It's a whole new world to that rocks my socks, just drains my bank account.. Might i add the most expensive part is the darn STORAGE!Krystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10349574428289542808noreply@blogger.com
