Comparison lol
 

Decided to do a lil comparison between one of my very first layouts and a recent layout ...lol...thank God I've grown at this. LOL

The one on the left is from 2006, the year I started (discovered) digital scrapbooking. Nothing like a nice, flat layout to really draw the eye in. LOL LOL :D:D:D

I LOVE comparisons, too! It's fun to see where I've come with my scrapping. I don't love them in my scrapbooks so much. I hate it when I look back and say to myself : Gosh, I really could have done this page SO much better. Hahaha.

my first one looked about the same :).

Yours is great.
Look at mine LOOOOOL:

I think given what was available in 2006, you did a good job!! However what you do now is simply amazing!!

I'm loving all of these!!

I use to make siggies for another board before digi scrapping, so I never had shadowless pages. However, the shadows were all the same size and very small so they were flat in that respect!

It's awesome to see how much we've all grown!
I don't even know if I could find my first page, but I'm sure it was very comparable to everyone else's.

Thank goodness for lots of growth.. and shadows!

I dunno...I think I started off pretty amazing. ; )
And this was after I had been scrapping for 2 1/2 years! Everything from before this mysteriously has disappeared. And you know I was so going to print them all to keep forever.
