First how long did you actually scrapbook, and how long have you not been scrapbooking?
Do you still have supplies, or did you sell them all?
What do you do with your pictures now?
Just curious!

I scrapped for 10 years I guess? I still have all my supplies, don't know who would want out of style paper. I now documents all my vacations in printable albums through mixbook.com

I scrapped for about 10 years or so I guess. Then I went over to digital about for about another 4 or 5 years then drifted away from scrapping altogether. I sold/donated everything except some ribbon and bits that DD said she'd use to make cards - she didn't I still have my digital supplies on my computer not taking up any room ready for when the bug strikes again I don't do much with my pictures unless it ones I really love then I enlarge them and frame them.

I scrapped for many years... can't remember how many.
Yes, I still have my supplies. I'm about to purge a bunch of it though, as I am moving in a couple months and don't want to take most of it with me.
Instead of books, I take my best pictures and do wall canvasses.
You'd be surprised. A lot of people (myself included) liked the trends but only used it if it was relevant. I know a few people that would love some of my old paper because it suits what they do.

I scrapped for about five years. I've been not scrapping for about the same amount of time. I've sold most of my supplies. I kept one sheet of each of the paper I designed and the stamps that have my fonts on them, but just about everything else is gone.
I do photo books with my pictures.

Four years paper, another couple of years digital ... got rid of a lot of supplies but still have cardstock, stamps, paper cutters/punches. Since quitting I have intermittently done shutterfly books, but recently I printed out a bunch of photos and bought some pocket pages and PL-style cards,and I've been working at that this summer.

I scrapped from about 2002--2010. My supplies are gathering dust in the room over our garage. I need to go through them and figure out what I want to keep, donate, or sell.
As for photos, I just save them on my computer and put some on Snapfish. The only time I ever print anything is when I want to frame a photo. I definitely don't take as many photos as I used to. I don't think I have a single photo from this past weekend, for instance.

I scrapped for about 6 years, and I've not scrapped (much) for about 6 years.
I got rid of all of my paper supplies LONG ago. I do still have my digital supplies and do layouts here and there. I still love scrapping, in theory, but for whatever reason, it's fallen far enough down my priority list that I rarely make time for it anymore.
I share a lot of photos online with friends and family, but I did that before. I never viewed scrapbooks as a means to share photos outside of the people who live in this house.

I did it for about 4 or 5 years, quit when my husband and I separated, then picked it back up for a year or so. I haven't scrapped regularly for at least 6 years, thigh I've done a few small projects. I got rid of tons of stuff when I moved, but I kept a lot of stuff too. I have my whole setup down in the basement now and I never feel motivated to go down there and scrap.
One problem I have is that there are just too many pictures now that they're all digital. I think it was easier for me to get started when I only had a few pics of any one event.
I still LOVE looking at paper and embellishments when I'm at a craft store, but I don't buy any more because I know I probably won't use it.
I confess to having more milk bottles of Prima flowers than any one person should have...lol

I scrapped for about two years, but I continued making cards and gift tags for several more years. I gradually fell out of the habit when my scrap room became my new granddaughter's guest room almost four years ago. I still have ALL my stuff, although it is boxed up and on closet shelves and under the bed - very hard to get to, which is why I quit using it. The only thing I have plans of ever scrapping traditionally is Christmas cards - I have years of saved cards (only ones with photos) and Christmas newsletters from friends and I think it would be fun to have a big album of them to get out during the Christmas season. But each year, I add to the pile of cards that will go into this "future ? project" Maybe it will happen, maybe not - time will tell!
I make Shutterfly books of vacations, trips, etc., and a yearly one for my granddaughter that includes family holidays.

I scrapped for about 3 years,
packed it up for about 2 years while moving twice,
scrapped for about 3 more years,
and it's been packed up for about 3 (moved twice again and need to move once more before I unpack for good I hope.)
I'd like to scrap again. We just keep moving around.
My photos are a mess. They're all over the place.

I scrapped for a lot for about 8 years (1996-2004). I scrapped sporadically for a few years after that. The last thing I scrapped was a vacation album in 2007. So I haven't scrapped at all in 7 years.
I have gotten rid of some supplies, but I still have a closet shelf full of stuff.
Generally, I print my pictures and file them in boxes. I don't take nearly as many photos as I used to.

I scrapped a TON for around 2 years, from 2004-2006. When I started, our house was set up with a small (scrap) room right next to the family room, so I could do my "thing" why DH and DD watched TV at night. When we moved into our next house, though, where I could scrap was nowhere near where they'd be, and frankly, I didn't want to spend my evenings alone. I slowly stopped doing it entirely. I kept all of my supplies for a LONG time, though. In fact, I just purged most of them within the last year. I gave them away, to friends, teachers, etc. - anyone that could use them. The only things I kept was my Cricut (useful for DD's school projects), cardstock (again, useful for DD's school projects), and my CutterBee. Oh, and my small Making Memories tool set. I'm surprised how often I use that. LOL! I'm still an avid photographer. All of my pictures (and I've been shooting nothing but digital since DD was born in 2000) are on my external drives and backed up to Smugmug. We stream them through AppleTV as a photo show when we have company over (instead of just having the TV be blank). I have a lot of prints in frames around the house, and a digital frame on my desk. Sometimes I miss scrapping, and I know I could do it digitally. But at this point, there are just other things that I'm more interested in spending my time on, I guess.

I scrap booked since I was in high school in the 90's. I stopped when I went back to school, so four years ago. I just don't have time or the space with school work and family. Igave everything away this past spring. All of it. I don't like keeping things and when I decided to go to grad school I figured by the time I got back to it (if ever) the paper would be so dated I would have to toss it and waste it entirely.

First how long did you actually scrapbook, and how long have you not been scrapbooking? I scrapped for about 10 years ... I've stopped for about four ...Do you still have supplies, or did you sell them all? I have packed up all of my supplies into about eight Rubbermaid bins ... I'm reluctant to sell it because I might go back to scrapping someday ... or not What do you do with your pictures now? I print them off in huge batches but the majority are just saved on the computer and Photobucket ... they are piling up Leanne

I scrapped for 10 years, then when my first husband passed away, I couldn't get back in the groove again. I haven't scrapped in 8 years now. I have made several photo books online, though, and I don't like to say that I no longer scrap. I still have all my stuff and have dreams of getting back to it. I've been scanning my old layouts and putting the scans into photo books, too.

I scrapped for about 10-12 years and I haven't scrapped in about 5-6 years. I make photo books sometimes. I still have my scarp supplies. I don't want to get rid of them because I would like to scrap again some day; however, I am thinking about digi scrapping instead of paper. As for paper being out of style, I am sure there is paper in my huge stash that I would never use but I have seen a lot of paper out today and a lot of it doesn't look that different from what is in my stash. As for what do I do with photos today..........I sometimes make a photo book but those are usually of a specific trip rather than general photos throughout the year. DH also likes for me to print the photos from a trip and puts together an album of photos.

I scrapped for about 5/6 years... My stash I used in classes I taught, I gave some away, I gave a bunch to my daughter.
We have limited stuff still in the house. But we also moved countries, so I had to get rid of most of it.
I do books like Mixbook occasionally.

I collected scrapbook supplies far longer than I actually scrapped! lol! I scrapped for a few years, but haven't touched my paper in probably 3-4 years now. I was just thinking it's time to get rid of it all.
I keep trying to digi-scrap, but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I need to just upload all my photos and do a quick and easy photo book. I have 10 years of pictures sitting on my computer. It's a little overwhelming figuring out where to start!

I bought an Epson WF-7510. It cost less than $200 (I don't remember exactly how much, maybe $150) and it scans 13 x 19, so it scans a full 12 x 12, and prints a full 12 x 12, though I haven't used it for that. Before that, I was using a smaller scanner to scan each layout in halves then stitching it together in Photoshop. This is sooooooo much less work.

I still scrapbook occasionally and really miss it. I've held onto all of my supplies and fortunately I have space in my home to store them. But when we move, that will change, so I may get rid of some of it. I wish I had the time to do it more often.

I only paper scrapped for about 2 years, from 2004-2006, but accumulated a huge stash. Just last week, I purged all the rest of it, donating everything to my college's Kids' College (summer camp) for their arts and crafts. I still have all my digital stuff on my computer which I keep telling myself I'll get back into . . . some day.

I scrapbooked from age 9 until 29, so about 20 years. I no longer paper scrap, and I occasionally do a digital project life page if the mood strikes me. I still have most of my supplies, though I did just do a major purge. Now it all fits in my wheely box. Pictures that I have developed are either in traditional photo albums or are still in their orange shutterfly envelopes on my desk. . Most pictures are just not printed, hanging out on my hard drive.

Paper scrapped from about 1997 to 2007, about 10 years. Loved it, lived it, had all the stuff, magazines, tools, paper, etc. Got involved in other things and just stopped. I really liked scrapping, it did satisfy a creative urge, and I wonder why I no longer have a desire to scrap. Still have all of my stuff and need to reorganize/purge, but I like to think I will start scrapping again someday. Never did want to go digital, though most of the last 8 years' worth of pics are on SD cards. I think that may have contributed to me stopping. Having prints in my hand did make me want to do something with them. If I ever redo my back room where I keep my scrap supplies, I might have more ambition, but first I need the ambition to get going on the room!

I scrapbooked for about 7 years. I haven't done it in about 6 years. A friend had a baby last year and I made her a book, but that's all I've done in 6 years. I hoard all my crap because I have so much much money invested in it...if I could sell it all I would. Anyone want to buy it? Paper, stamps, punches, quick kutz, embellishments, etc.

I scrapped for about 7 years. Took a break because I wasn't feeling well, ended up having surgery. Then DH was diagnosed with cancer. We got through that and I was just contemplating starting again when DH was, again, diagnosed with cancer. My scrapping space is in our unfinished basement. I want to go down and scrap, just as a distraction if nothing else. However, the place has been taken over by spiders....they terrify me. When I was down there all the time I'd see some here/there but since I haven't been down there in about 3 years they've claimed the space as their own. I know I should just "get over it" but I can't seem to do it.

I'm so sorry you are having to deal with cancer. (((HUGS)))

I scrapped for about a dozen years but lost the urge about two years ago. Now I make several photobooks a year for vacations, camping, year in review...that type of thing.
I do still have all my supplies but will purge 90% or more of them when we begin packing to move. I won't have room in our new house and really tend to only do digi now anyway. I will probably just keep my camping and travel stashes when all is said and done.

I scrapped from about 2000 - 2010. I can't really bear to part with my supplies.
The supplies are in 4 big bins and are currently in my mom's basement. We moved two years ago and I didn't have room in the new house.
I intend to start again someday...I totally will...
As for pictures, I use my iPhone to take pictures and now I just store them on an external hard drive. I don't print them out in general.
