I went through some of my older scrapbooks today and I couldn't help but smile. The old pages take me back to various times in my life. My son was a shy elementary school student and I was known as the Queen of Magic Mesh and paper piecings. I marvel at the evolution of scrapbooking. I started with magnetic albums, photos and magazine clippings when I was in high school. I remember with fondness the year I spent putting Paperkins on nearly.every.single.page. I love the newer scrapbook products (I am itching to use my chipboard people as I type) but don't mind visiting the "olden days" every now and again. I'm going to leave you with a few old school LOs and a question:
*What was your favorite product when you first started scrapbooking?*

Nice seeing your ol' stuff Staci. I started SBing in 2003 and the first thing I discovered was the MM eyelet setter. You know, the one with the hammer. I used that baby all the time. I never got into the paperkins or jolie's stuff but I did get into the metals...washers, metal mesh. I used to head into Home Depot looking for stuff. Fun.
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
Gosh - When I started in 1999, there was not a lot available like today! I used my decorative scissors to create edges, but I did use paper doilies to create backgrounds quite a bit. It's amazing how much it available today and how much more sophisticated it became.
He is soooo cute!!!!! Your layouts look great. I started in 2000, shortly after the birth of my first. I've loved stamps and ink since the mid 90's and love to incorporate them.
I could cringe looking at my oldest ones, even though they make me smile! Yours look better than some I see around now!
Hi! I followed you over from 2Peas. I love your layouts! So inspiring! Have a wonderful day!
You know I like ole' school so I'm digging these pages. You must share more often *wink*.
