How has your style changed since you started scrapping? Or has it not changed at all?

Mine has changed in a couple ways. First - I actually journal now! That was a rare thing when I first started. Second - I still use a lot of white space but I've moved a bit away from the "clean and simple" and have grown to love controlled chaos and a bit of funk on my pages. Third - I use a LOT of iPhone pictures (I'm still not really sure how I feel about this one...).
 
I actually journal more now too... and add dates to my pages..
I also tend to try not to just use one kit... Thanks to TLP and the monthly BYOC. The challenges and the BYOC products have kinda got me confident about using more than 1 kit for my pages and it's so much more fun really!!
 
Mine has changed since I started because now I know how to shadow. I think that's the single most important factor in my improvement. Also, I've just learned more techniques, such as cutouts, strokes, blending, etc that now add a bit more creativity and variety to my pages. I don't think my beginner pages were too terrible, but they have definitely become much more high quality now :)
 
I do journal more now, even if it's just a line or two. I USE shadows, lol! My first pages were just horrible!!!!!
 
I definitely started out trying to fit every photo onto one page with very little room for anything else. I've learned that you can tell the story even better with less photos and MORE STORY. I'm a lot less who, what, where and when now. Very focused on the why.
 
I used to do a lot of 1 or 2 photo pages. Now I tend to add more - I find when I am looking over older pages, I wish I had included more photos from a particular photo-shoot/event/day. So now I do!

I've always journaled, but now I will often add journaling in chunks or add in a quote - it is always fun to discover little things when you look at a page long enough.
 
oh oh oh! I actually remember to add dates to my pages now!!! other than that, um... I use a lot more elements, but then again kits come with a lot more now.
 
My style has gone through so many changes...the only constant has been my perfectionism. When i was a paper scrapper a friend once told me: just wait until you have kids, you'll have to let go of having it all so perfect. Ha! I showed her, switched to Digi when I had kids and keep going with the 'perfect'.

I've done shabby chic, I've done super-clean and simple, I've done traditional with def. rules of design and in the past year, I've finally let go and let my creative side shine. No holds barred, no rules, just have fun. That has turned my pages into something more of a creative mess. I love it.
 
um, i don't know really. but my style seems to be stuck in one spot right now i think. :shrug
 
well, my style has changed a lot! i've done busy and full, i've done fantasy, i've done clean... since 2008 i'm doing more block pages trying to get them more like paper scrap. the only thing i've never changed is my passion about colors :D
 
I add more journaling now... tho, I still forget to date my layouts :giggle

I'd say my style is pretty eclectic... I'm more confident in layering and clustering now... and making sure I have paint and stitches on all my pages LOL
 
I think the biggest thing is just adding more journaling and doing pages about stories that I want to remember. The biggest variable might be my phases of how much/drastically that I edit my photos :)
 
I've evolved a lot... but for now, I just like simple, plain, with pops of purdy stuff. ;)

Yes this! In general I think my style hasn't changed much, it's just that I've learned how to do things better, like journal more or process my photos better.
 
um yeah its more crazy than usual and i do more ME pages and more real journaling.
I have a crazy, loud eclectic style and it just keeps getting worse with age LOL
 
I don't know that my style has changed so much as it has evolved (hopefully!) into a better-looking representation of that style. I can shadow, post-process, know some graphic design principles... I hope these translate into my work to make them aesthetically-pleasing high quality work.
 
Well I looooved those awsome fantasy layouts back then, but I never really got it to
Work for me!! Also loooove lots of clustering, but always ended up emptier then I had in mind! Lol
I also hardly ever journalled... But things all turned around when Ou little girl Was born 17 months ago
I can't live without journalling anymore and my style us def more into paper right now and truly love it!!
 
I think my style has changed because before, I was trying to fit into the style at another shop. Now, with the TLP vibe and the products I love so much, I am able to be much more me. Kinda messy and such. :p
