If you no longer scrapbook, a few questions.

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 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.

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 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 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 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.

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

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 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 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.

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 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 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.
