I love playing this game! If this isn't my first layout, it's certainly one of my earliest from early 2005. I've got that same mad beveling and shadow skilz like Meeeeeegan! :D

LOL this should be good for a laugh. This is the first one I have posted anywhere, at SBB 2/10/05 but I actually started in 2004 but I don't have any of those anymore, so if you cna imagine they were worse than this, rofl

This is one of the first ones I posted in Feb 06. It took me 4 months to get up enough nerve to publicly post this crap.

And this is a recent one:

I love looking through these threads. It is so fun seeing how far we have all come. This was my very first LO I did here in Jan 2008. It was for a template challenge and it was also the beginning of my SSD addiction. This is truly the most fantastic place on the web.

Here is a recent favorite:
You_sailed_away_with_my_heart_web.jpg
 
This one was my very first SSD page and also the beginning of my love affair with SSD :p. I'd already been scrapping for about a month then with some freebies. My first layout was truly unremarkable I don't even want to post it. LOL!

This is such a fun thread. ack in 2006 I tried digi-scrapping for all of about 10 LOs and quit out of discouragement, lol. But now I look back on those pages with so much fondness!

Here is one of the first:

These are awesome!

But what's CRAZY about these is seeing everyone's kids in the before and afters...they are so old! It makes me sad to think my toddlers won't be toddlers forever! :(
 
Ok I've got you all beat! I only have thumbnails because SBB's gallery had a brain fart a few years back and lost all the larges but here's my first:
