Its been 9 years since I started scrapbooking, wow how time flys! I started scrapbooking because I was taking a ton of baby pictures and wanted to document and remember all the details of my son as grows. Its fun to look back on my old albums and recall the memories and to also see how my style of scrapbooking has changed!
Today over at
Paper Haus we were comparing our styles from when we first started to now! Let the fun begin! Here is a layout I made about 8 years ago!
Back then my style was very simple and clean. Colors were coordinated, shapes were the same and all of the page elements were placed equally. I still love this layout because it brings back the memory I wanted to capture and it also documents my scrapbook journey, this was my style at this time. But times have changed and so has my style!
Here is a recent layout!
Look at all the white space and the clustering - the old me would have have been so brave! I have come to love splats of mist and patterned stamps! I also adore shapes, the more shapes on one layout the better!
Although both layouts are very different they both capture bit of my life that I wanted to remember. I have said this since the beginning and tell many new scrapbookers I meet, there is no right or wrong way to scrapbook - we all have our own style! Embrace your style and keep scrapbooking!
