and I'm sure it's been asked before, BUT, how long have you been scrapping (paper and/or digi)?

I was never a paper scrapper :blink: but started digiscrapping when I was pregnant with Emma. so, I guess that'd be about 11 years.

I never paper scrapped. I don't think I am made to be a paper scrapper. Too indecisive.
I started digiscrapping in November 2008, so that makes it almost 8 years. :)
 
I guess officially started paper scrapping in 2001 when I wanted a way to showcase my photos from a business trip to England... and switched to digi in 2008... so will be 15/8 years... one would think I'd have more to show for it... outside of a corner of the basement that still holds my paper scrapping stuff and 100's of digi layouts that need to be printed out... :o
 
I've always been a scrapper..... like before Scrapbooking was a "thing" kind of scrapper. I used to save newspaper articles and photos in a book. I started PAper Scrapping 14 years ago when I had my first Son. Around 2006 I learned about Digi Scrappin' (back then I used to make siggies using Tubes and slowly started using Digi Kits designed for making siggies. It wasn't until summer of 2015 that I made the complete switch from Paper to Digital (after 3 years of zero mojo with the paper I knew I needed a change to save my love for the hobby). :)
 
I was never a real paper scrapper, though I tried my hand at it back in the days when Creative Memories was the hot trend. I just didn't like cutting up my pics though (I know, I'm a weirdo :p). When I discovered digi at the end of 2009, it was love at first sight!
 
I too used to scrap as a kid but didn't realize it was scrapbooking. I started doing the actual scrapbook thing with official supplies etc. in 1998. I switched almost completely to digital in 2004.
 
I was a hardcore paper scrapper starting around 2000 when Cheyanne was born.... like really really into it and never ever thought I'd not do it. Then I started dabbling in digital back in 2007 and slowly but surely became hooked. I got rid of most of my paper supplies (except for a few things to make cards when needed) back around 2010 and haven't missed it a bit :)
 
I have never done paper scrapping in terms of scrapping photos. I've done some basic cards though. I had never heard of scrapbooking (memory keeping) before 2009 when I actually started.

yeah.... I still remember when I met this gal ^^^ and her saying that she'd never go digital :p bahahahahaha Never say Never ;) :thumbup:
 
I started with Paper scrapping back when Bella was a baby so about 10 years. She was born in May and in October of that year, Michaels opened in our town, the one and only craft store. I took the baby there everyday for a visit! LOL! I spent more money than I care to admit that year!

Once I switched to digi, I never looked back. Less mess, more options. Now when I think about paper scrapping I just don't understand how you would buy a piece of paper or an embellishment that you can't change to the color or size that you need. It seems so limiting!
 
You could probably say that I started traditional scrapping as a teenager (too long ago to say). Back then, there wasn't really a word for it. I used my magnetic album and made my own paper word tags to put with the photos since I didn't like that you couldn't journal about the photos. Then, in 1998, I discover Creative Memories and jumped in. I was a consultant for 10 years. I joined the digi world when CM started offering it, but stayed true to theirs until I deactivated 6 years ago.
(I still have a ton of paper CM supplies if anyone is interested ;) )
 
I started digi when I was pregnant with Nicholas, so 10 years. I had paper scrapped for 10 years before that. Jeez, so 20 years all together.
 
I did exactly 3 paper pages in 1998 and 1999. It drove me nuts that the photo was not the size I wanted it after I cropped it, so I printed photos bigger...too much hassle. I found digi in late 2011 and haven't looked back. Definitely more my style - control over EVERYTHING! Switched to photoshop elements in late 2014.
 
I've been digitally scrapping since February 2003 so I just had my 13th anniversary!

:wub::wub::wub:
 
I was into paper scrapping in the late 90s, maybe from '96 or '97 until about 2002 or 2003. At that point it became a little overwhelming, so I didn't do much of anything until 2007 when I found digi and never looked back.
 
I was more of a collector of paper scrap supplies than anything! lol... but I guess I started doing that sometime in middle school. I used to make what they call "Smash Books" now, with ticket stubs, notes from school, pictures etc and I still have some of them! :)

I started digiscrapping about 3 years ago after humming and hawing for months and months about whether or not I wanted to switch over. I thought I wouldn't like digiscrapping b/c I like texture and dimension. I still like the look and feel of traditional pages but they take so much time, space and money to make them look that way. And I can't print multiple copies for family and friends like I can with digi! :)
 
I don´t know if adding stickers and journal cards to my regular album qualify as paper scrapbooking... but I start digi 10 years ago on Jan 2006 after my kid was born.
 
I was more of a collage maker back in elementary/high school. I started doing some paper scrapping in college. I started dabbling in digital scrapbooking in 2012.
 
I started paper scrapping after my first son was born in 2006. Did it for two years until my second son was born. Then I did no scrapping for nearly a year until I discovered digi scrapping. So, 7 years digi now.
 
When my oldest was a few months old, I wanted a way to pair the photos with the stories. So I bought some things to do a paper layout and only did the titlework and photo printing on the computer. My second layout I made everything on the computer, printed it out, and put it on a paper background. By my 3rd layout I was 100% digital and never looked back. I've been digiscrapping for 12 years as of this month!
 
I started very basic paper books in high school in 1998, got more "serious" after I got married and wanted our wedding and honeymoon pictures recorded in 2003. I started digital in 2008

My first ever layout at DST is March 1 2009, so I've just missed my scrapbook anniversary!

It was using a kit by Dani Mogstad, I used to buy all the kits for signature making before I started scrapping lol.
 
I started paper scrapping in about 2000 at age 15. All of my paychecks went into purchasing paper, stickers, scissors, brads, embossing powders, eyelets, stamps, inks, pens... You name it, I bought it! I still had quite a bit until our move two years back when I decided I had better downsize and of course now I really wish that I hadn't... I started digi scrapping in October of 2012 and loved the mess free version of scrapping!
 
I never paper scrapped before I started digi. But, we had a scrapbook party for Destiny's 12th (?) birthday and I couldn't wait to get back on the computer, lol!!! I couldn't resize, I couldn't recolor, I couldn't get the string how I wanted it, lol!
 
Forever!! At least it seems that way. I would guess about 20 years. I paper scrapped for at least 10-12 years before I started digi scrapping!!
 
Digi all the way since 2007 (might be 2006) but took a break in 2011 and started scrapping again in 2014 :)
 
I've never paper scrapped, but I made loads of paper greeting cards before I started digiscrapping in 2011.
