Thumbs up Bwahahahahahahahahah!

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! Have a look. Sorry if they burn your eyes out. lol!





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

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!



Ok, your turn. If you can find it, show me your first LO!!!!

Thank you so much for the compliment! I'm so flattered!! 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?"

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:



And this isn't my most recent, but I'm pretty sure it's my all time fav!!

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.

years ago... YIKES!

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.

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


And here is my most recent LO
