A Few Contributor's Pages Through the Years!

Hello everyone, I thought it would be cool to include some of the contributors old and new styles.
Don't forget to leave a comment on yesterday's post to be in the running for a cool RAK! I will pick one person to send goodies to, just leave a comment here! You have until Monday at noon est.

Up first is Heather! She included page from the years 2006 - 2010! Up first is 2006. Heather had to this to say about scrapbooking that year, "The trend in 2006 was to round the corners on everything! I had a corner rounder, and I definitely knew how to use it."



Next is the page "Love." Heather said this about the her style that year, "In 2007, I got my Cricut, and went completely die cut crazy! I don't think there is a single layout of mine from 2007 without a die cut or doodling. This page has BOTH!"

Next up is 2008. Heather had this to stay about her style, "In 2008, I started worrying less about things being acid free and going in with a more artistic approach to my layouts with nontraditional embellishments."



Up next is 2009! Heather said, "2009 was the year of the square for me. I've noticed that I started using less circles and die cuts. I started using more clean lines, and less embellishments. I also started focusing more on journaling. "



Now is 2010, Heather shares this about her style, "So far in 2010, my style is still evolving into a more clean graphic style. I love using my own handwriting for journaling. That is something I didn't do as much in the past. Even though I don't like my handwriting very much, it will mean a lot to my kids to have it someday!"

Here is a page from 1998. As you can see the page has little cardstock and a circle photo. There wasn't a whole lot of scrapping supplies available back then. I didn't even know what scrapbooking was in 1998!
