Oh. I love this too. Cos it's my 1st time using such a busy pp - Love Elsie's Betty pp & ep.

I love combining two of my fav hobbies - cross stitch & scrapbooking.
This was done in 2007.

This in 2009.

I love seeing how some of us have changed when moved to digi and some have stayed true to themselves!

 

[Heather Prins]

I'm working on one right now.

Wheeeeeeeee!

Ooooo thanks girls for posting. Sorry I haven't been around to respond. Stinkin' work!!!

DALIS: Great pages, girl! You like BIG titles too! Love!!! I really adore your little tag book! Yummy textures!!!

ANNE: I LOVE ALTOID TINS!! I made a couple I loved too. Yours turned out super! What I really love is the digi page you did ABOUT the tin. Hee hee heee! You are a digi girl!!!! Nice job, friend!

GRACIELOU: OH MY GOODNESS!! You threw supplies in the trash? That would KILL ME!!!! I clean out my stuff on occasion & give it to a school, but there are items I just couldn't part with. LOL!! I LOVE the pages you shared here! I totally recognize a lot of the supplies. We must have scrapped a lot at the same time. I especially love your Beach Boy page. The negative frames & colors rock!

PURLZ76: OMG!!! I am digging your animated view of your album. How'd you do that? Great album. It must have been very therapeutic to do it!! LOVE the abstract photo. What is that? Way cool! My fave might be Grandma's Frosting. Super sweet & it means so much! Hey!!!! I'm so digging your cross stitch page. VERY clever!!!!

KarenW: OH MY!! Karen, I'm seriously in love with all three of your photos! I want to soak up all the details! I can't pick a favorite! Couple things... I can't read the journaling on the first page but those two girls have the SAME smirk/smile. The self portrait photo is AMAZEBALLS (as they say) and I want to love, hug & caress your 3rd page. The textures are soooo touchable!

MISSKIM: Bwaa haa haaa that little photo is PRICELESS! I love her frozen expression. Too sweet!!! You may not have deleted all your pages at 2 peas. I noticed when I was looking for which ones to post here, that some may have been missing & there were a couple that were double posted. It might have happened when they switched to a new format a number of years ago. And YES, control Z is very very important!

LeeAndra: Bwaa haa haaa, you are too funny for words!

Angie4b1g: Good job squirming into mags. Getting published was so much fun. I miss the the joy of getting a new mag with one of my kids in it, plus it was nice getting paid! You're pages are ADORABLE!! Which mags were you in? You had a BH&G Scrapbook Etc. style. LOVE!!! I remember when the circle page was a phase. I may have to do a digi version. Fun!

CELESTE: Good for you for paper scrapping in 2011. Not too long ago!!!! I love your linear design. Clean & lovely!!! Love the Chick Lover page the most and you're a GREAT photographer!

 

[Angie4b1g]

Oh geez I don't remember now. I'm sure I have them somewhere.

 

[Tracyfish]

I was, but it was back in 2005 before I even knew about digi and I printed a lot of clipart-y type elements online. Looks like I even used a little fancy scissor action too. LOL!

 

[kyky]

ah ladies great paper pages ^__^

 

[bcgal00]

Here's one I did about 5 years ago. It kinda makes me cringe now LOL. I loved my green walls in my scrap room. I have since moved the scrap stuff to another room and started downsizing my stash b/c I don't paper scrap anymore so it didn't seem right to take up the big room downstairs for that. Now that room is going to be my photography studio and the small room is still a scrap room so friends can come over to paper scrap but I digi scrap or make a card now and then with them.

 

[Lynne-Marie]

I was on a creative team for a store, I taught scrap classes and I was regularly published in a French scrap magazine. Here are a few of my favorites from bak in the day (2001 - 2006) I loved exploring new styles and trying my hand at anything that looked challenging. I suppose that's how I got into digi and ultimately designing!

The next one is from when I started exploring Mixed Media...

The animated album is made up of many photos. I use the Photoshop ImageReady to open all the photos. Then save all in one "gif" file for the animation. If you have the PS CS, the ImageReady shud be included.

Oh ... that is not an abstract photo It's the clay stove. It's an electric version so that is the coil. So what you see is a close-up of the coil. The 1st version is w/o the coil & charcoal is burned to create heat.

Imagine this coil - http://www.colourbox.com/preview/2331569-44684-a-white-electric-stove-with-four-burners.jpg,

I LOVE all these paper pages!!!!!

I paper scrapped for over 10 years and am not getting back in to hybrid stuff!!! Love it!!

 

[amandac]

never been a paper scrapper (don't judge me!) as I am a danger to myself and all around me if I get a pair of scissors in my hands LOL!

 

[AmaG]

I paper-scrapped but boy was it hard on the wallet!

 

[Roboliver]

Still loving all the layouts ladies!!!!! It ALMOST has me inspired to paper scrap again but not YET!

When you were paper scrapping, what was the CRAZIEST thing you used???? It was totally not archive safe but I once saw a broken metal washer in a parking lot that looked like the letter C. I made a page about my little neighbor, Caroline. LOL! I used the "c" in a bunch of diamond glaze with beads.

 

[cherpea]

the craziest thing I ever used while paper scrapping was a "blunt" shearing comb... hah yeah blunt my tush! Damn thing was still sharp enough to do you some serious damage...

the page was for a magazine I was contributing too so to save the townies from cutting themselves badly and ending up with blood all over my page and risking ending up in hospital I had to put a HUGE warning all over the front and back of the packing I sent it up in...

then the courier decided he wasn't going to take it... his words "ot posed a risk to his safety!" Hah NOT likely after I had packed it up like I had... explained it was a shearing comb and that unless he opened the box himself it wasn't likely to be a problem... thankfully he accepted it after that!

I started paper scrapping late 2006 and did my last paper layout last fall. In October 2012 I switched completely to digital.
This is my last paper layout:

 

[Roboliver]

Omuli, that's a SUPER paper layout. Maybe you shouldn't give it up completely!
