Did you scrapbook/make cards as a child and/or teenager?

Yes, I liked to draw, sew and do all kinds of other crafts as a kid.

Yep, i made cards and always had scrapbooks of some sort & collecting things in album or notebooks. I dreamed of having a real art studio when i grew up.

In the 80's i was obsessed with stationary stores, sticker stores and the ink a dink a doo rubber stamp kiosk in the mall.

My favorite toy was the Great Greetings card maker...anybody remember those, they were like Fashion Plates? I still have mine.

? Chatterbox?

I kept scrapbooks my entire life as did my mom when she was young. I am now pulling items from my old scrapbooks to include on the page when I scrap the related photos that were kept in separate albums. My favorite pages are those with memorabilia.

Cards, yes, a little bit but nothing like we have now. I collected stationary and had many beautiful notecards I could send as a card. I recently included the front of a note card I had from the 1976 bicentennial.

I kept one of those old fashioned scrapbooks with black pages in high school.

I have always done crafts. I have no idea where it came from. My mom is the least crafty person I know!

I made a card for my mother at around 6 or 7 for Mother’s Day that read “Dear Mom, You are the beast.” My family still jokes about it 30 years later. So yes, I’ve also enjoyed papercrafting. I made a scrapbook of things around town for my best friend for high school graduation so when she went away to college she would have something to remember home. I have the very primitive scrapbooks I made from high school and college before I had actual scrapbooking supplies.

I've always done all sorts of crafts, but I don't remember actually making cards when I was a kid. I do remember really getting into the whole 'decorating a shoebox' at Valentine's Day. My mom kept a few things from when I was a kid-- in kindergarten we made puppets using brown paper bags, and she kept the ones I made... she gave that stuff to me a few years ago; it's pretty funny to look through, now. I loved notebooks, pens, markers, and pencils... I remember really wanting to keep a journal or diary when I was 10-12 years old (I loved the book Harriet the Spy- did she keep notes about the people she spied on?) and I do think I started a diary once or twice, but I'd only get a few pages into it before I thought "everything I write is just dumb!" and stopped. If I had known about art journaling and collage back then, I would have LOVED doing that as a journal, but I didn't.

I didn't get into card-making until I was out of college, when my sister took me with her to a Stampin' Up party... after that, I somehow found a CM consultant and got into scrapbooking-- and I haven't looked back since. I still make card occasionally, but mostly just for Christmas, now. I used to send cards for every holiday, but now it's mainly just family birthdays and Christmas. (a set of cards does make a nice gift, though- I will sometimes make a set of 6 blank cards + envelopes.)

I didn't start until around 1999 when my daughter-in-law took me to a home party one of her friends was doing. It was Creative Memories. Thus the addiction was born. I quickly moved from CM only products.

I am lucky in that my grandmother and my aunt scrapbooked in the old black page glue the pictures to the pages albums. Probably why I don't really buy into all the "it must be archival, acid free" position. Some of those pictures are over 100 years old and they are just fine.

I used to make cards when I was young, maybe 7 or 8. I always used the same type of poem- Roses Are Red, Violets Are Blue, and the inside would have something like Angels in Heaven Know I love You. My late sister always made fun of them. I think I sent her and my mom a card several years ago when I got into card making. I had a fancy rose I had die cut, and just had to add the same sentiment as a joke.
I used to scrapbook years ago, when I was a teenager. I wish I had held onto some of it, but, due to many moves, I no longer have them. It would be interesting to see what they were like back then. I wish I still had the extras I kept too, like concert tickets, and Playbills from Broadway plays I saw.

More sewing and needlework when I was younger, cross stitch and crochet. Made tons of doilies, blankets and scarves. As a teen used to make own clothes...met my DH in a dress I made...funny hadn't thought about that in years!!

I think my aunt saved every card I ever made her. My sister found a pile of folded typing paper cards drawn with pencil in her dresser drawer after she passed away but I don’t know what happened to them after that. Does anybody remember those early computer graphics programs like Paint Shop or Card Maker? LOL the 8-bit graphics were so pixelated and choppy, but I wanted that software SO bad!   I remember printing tons of cards with that.

Yes I was super crafty, loved to sew, make doll clothes, stamp, make cards. I worked at a doll house store and put together doll houses all through high school.

I made a bunch of my own clothes too, from the time I was about 7-8. My mom taught me how to make simple knit t-shirts and shorts and I lived in stuff like that. By the time I was 14 I was taking adult sewing classes with my older sister, and she would get mad because I had the time to finish my class projects (Palmer Pletsch pleated front dress pants, anyone?  ) and she didn’t!

I was crafty as a child/teenager/young adult. I made scrapbooks in old ledgers and books my grandparents gave me. I wish I still had them, especially the ones I started when I was 13 years old. Being the oldest of 7 children, space was limited as I shared a bedroom with my sister, and I got rid of stuff.

I always loved sewing and baking too. Just recently started making simple throw pillows.
