Ok, this is soooo embarassing, but since I know I've come so far, it is really comical now! I was unpacking today (we moved 2 weeks ago) and I found a bunch of CDs I had burned when I backed-up my HD last year. Guess what I found?!?! My 2 first scrap pages EVER!!!!! I laughed so hard when I opened them up! They are soooooo ugly! :p Have a look. Sorry if they burn your eyes out. lol! :o

Bwahahahahah! It's ok, you can point and laugh! I am laughing with ya! :thumbup:

So for any of you newbies out there who are intimidated by the amazing talent in this community (not referring to myself... lol... I am speaking of the other SSD awesomeness), don't worry! You can do it!

Okay, I can't leave you with such ugliness. Here's my latest LO just so you don't leave this thread thinking I'm a horrible scrapper... loL!

[SeattleSheri]

WOW! Sheri! You are ROCKIN' it! Both your pages are awesome! I looooove the second one!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm so flattered!! :wub: I hope more people post some of their first pages, I love to see them! I'm already cringing at a couple things I did on my first LOs. Isn't it funny how we can look at something and be so proud of it at the time and then look back at and think ... "um, what was I thinking?"

[mrshobbes]

oh my gosh, my first scrap page is lost in my dead laptop's harddrive, but i'll go scrounging around for an old one too. Thanks for sharing, girls--and may i say you're all RAWKIN the layouts :)

[Paula]

Ok, you asked for it! Here's my VERY first digi LO:

I don't know if this is my very first, but I don't have any of the early ones on my comp anymore. I had to dig through my blog to find this one! This was from Jan 07, when I first started:

[arenee]

I think the first ones are really nice. They show a development of your style and life. Don't hang your head. Stand proud!! The first ones are always the hardest. Personally I like the first page. I love how you mimiced the arched lighting in your photo frame.

[robinforman]

[Megan Turnidge]

Oh this is too fun! Thanks for posting your old LOs, girlies!!! :thumbup: Look how much we've grown!!

[mrs_jb]

LOL... I always think it's so funny to look back on where we started. I haven't been scrapping that long, but when I look back on my first sigs from 4
years ago... YIKES!

[DawnMarch]

Wow, Megan, those were some serious drop shadows! On the other hand, I don't think my first page had any, so it was pretty bad.

[my3hens]

Oh honey you have come such a long way!! Your layouts were never ugly thought babe!! The newest is a stunner but I love all your work!

[ditzyscrap]

LOL, I started in June 2004, and yeah...they're beautiful. NOT. LOL! I'm going to see if I can find my first pages, and post here...

[mcardall]

My oldest layout has been printed and deleted from my computer! I started digiscrapping in April of 2005, and here is one of my layouts created in July of 2006... first one posted at DST, thank you very much!

Man, not only have we as scrappers come so far, but look at the massive improvement in digi supplies!!! :) You designers rock! Everything looks so real now!

[Tracie Stroud]

What a fun thread! :D All my first lo's were paper and I don't have them scanned in, but you do NOT want to see them. lol

[flattsgurl]

OMGosh....what a great thread!!! I love seeing LO's from when people first start scrapping. :) It's amazing to see how much people's styles change...how much things change once you really not what you are doing (that is me. ROFL).

I don't think this is my very first....but it is one of the first. It took be forever to figure out what drop shadows were and that you could even do that. *rollseyes* LOL This LO is from Oct. 2007
