Hello Friends and welcome to
The Scrappin Roots Blog Hop!
I'm so glad you stopped by.
If you are like me your love for papercrafting began with scrapbooking. And I don't know about you but I have REALLY let it go for quicker and more instant gratification crafts, mostly card making. I have really been wanting to get back to my "roots" and do more scrapbooking. I want to preserve the memories of my children and their childhood while they are still (somewhat) fresh in my mind. One of my goals (I don't like to call them resolutions, too much pressure, lol) for 2011 is to do more layouts and scrapbooking. Since I figured I am not the only one who needs a swift kick in the scrapbooking butt I decided to host my very first blog hop and to focus it on layouts.
I'm so excited for this hop. We have an amazing line up of talented ladies that are super excited to share with you their projects both past (this ought to be fun) and present.
For my layout I chose to do a "Back to school" theme. I didn't include the pictures because my printer needs color ink. Don't you just hate that? Grr. LOL Anyway, here is my layout:
The page on the left is dedicated to my daughter and the page on the left is dedicated to my son.
Ingredients:
Core'dinations cardstock for the green base as well as the orange photo mats. Recollections cardstock for all other cuts.
Cuts: School bus & Apple is from DoodleCharms. Scissors, glue and sentiment is from Simply Charmed. Magnifying glass is from Everyday Paper Dolls.
I LOVE how this turned out especially considering it's been almost 2yrs since my last layout (sounds like I'm at confession, lol).
I chose the colors Green & Orange because those are my kids' school colors. "Let's go Discovery School" Sorry, I had to do a little shout out for the best school ever! And of course all the school images that go along with it. The magnifying glass is the school's logo. :)
I also wanted to share with you some of my "early" work. I've only been papercrafting for about 4 yrs so this is not OLD but older.
The first layout is one of the first if not THE FIRST (I simply cannot remember) layouts I've ever done. The second layout is one of the first layouts I did with my Cricut. :) I love my Cricut and am so glad I have one. I don't know how I ever survived without it.
One more thing I wanted to share with you was a handy dandy tip:
Incorporate recycled products in your projects. For the Back to School layout I cut the scissor blades out of silver chip board included in a make-up kit we purchased around Christmastime. I also trimmed out some clear plastic from packaging and used it as the "glass" in the magnifying glass.
Oh wait. What's a blog hop without some blog candy?
Robyn from My Pink Stamper so generously donated her newest video Cricut Layouts Through the Year for my giveaway today.
To be eligible for this prize simply leave a comment telling me when you began papercrafting. You don't have to be a follower but I would love it if you were. I will draw a winner on Monday morning.
Don't forget to visit all the other ladies in our hop today. I promise you that their projects will not disappoint. You may even stumble upon some more delicious blog candy.
Thanks for hopping on by. Here's the full line up, if you get lost along the way come on back here for the list.

I can't believe I'm first. Love your layouts. Thanks for allowing me to participate in the hop with you.
I first started scrapping in 2005 after my husband created my first album for me for Christmas. TFS and the chance to win.

I started scrapping in 1998 when my daughter was just a baby. I started out with stuff I ordered through the mail - Precious Moments stuff. I didn't have extra money for die cuts so I made my own. Quite the difference between then and now!
Like you, I hope to get more of "my" layouts done and still make some to sell. I like getting crafty with other stuff too, but I have so much to catch up on!
Adorable layouts! I started off scrapbooking too and its still my first love! I love your early work too!

Very cute layouts!
I began scrapbooking off & on about 10 years ago. Since then I've been making cards and other projects. It's so funny to go back & look at my first scrapbook! Wow, what a difference from today. ☺

Great LO, have to scraplift idea for grandbaby! I started scrapbooking a year ago...fell in love with Basic Grey POTM-- Scrapbooking is my first priority, but do get caught up in other crafts this past year.... TFS -- Gaby
I love your layouts!! I began scrapbooking when my now 9 year old son was born. I used to watch QVC and Creating Keepsakes and wanted to do what Lisa did on her Scrapbooking shows. I love this craft and love preserving memories for my children. I looked at my first scrapbook layout and now that I have my Cricut...definitely will be redoing some.
Have a blessed Saturday!

I started papercrafting about 8 years ago when I went to a friend's house who was having a Stampin Up party. We made 3 cards and I placed an order and was hooked. I've done about 2 albums and made many, many cards since then. Since I don't send a lot of cards but love to create I wanted to find other things to create. Now I'm making 12 x 12 shadow box pictures using my Cricut (which I just got in September and LOVE) and hope to start going to craft shows to sell them in the Spring. I love making them and only have so many walls in my house! lol
Super cute layout. I started scrapbooking a few years ago, but now I'm making more cards than layout, so I'm so behind with my kids photo. Thanks for share.

Very cute layout thanks for sharing!!
Love the layouts. I began scrapbooking 6 years ago after I was hit by a car and became very immobile. I do believe that scrabooking saved my sanity!
My friend got me into scrapbooking after my son was born. He was in the NICU and she came to my house to head to the hospital and after the visit (since we were only allowed to stay a certain amount of time) we went back and scrapbooked. Ever since than I am hooked. But unfortunately I do more projects than scrapbook layouts! :(

Very Cute layouts, Erin. I did some scrapbooking in high school and didn't pick it up again until 2 years ago. I jumped right into making cards and I NEED to get back to scrapbooking. Thanks for a chance to win and what a GREAT blog hop. :)
my niece is almost two and a half. I started scrapbooking pretty much the day she was born. She was born in september and it was my christmas gift goal to give my sister a scrapbook. I did the whole thing over 60 pages without a cricut. the following summer her fiance helped me purchase a cricut on ebay (because of him I'm now an ebay pro). I wonder how I did the scrapbook without the cricut and started her second scrapbook. I need to catch up but you can tell when I got the cricut. But my niece loves her first scrapbook and looks at it often calling it "Ammy's book"
Love your layout, Erin! So fun!
Hugs,
Saundra :)

Thanks for putting together this blog hop, I did my first one last week with MPS and I loved it! I created my first scrapbook when I was 8, wow, 30 years ago. Of course, today's srapbook is much much different, but I love them both the same. i haven't scrapped in several years, but I am back to the grind in 2011, and loving it! Loving your layouts, thanks for inpiring me!

Hi, I started card making about a year ago and am totally addicted. I am a grandma so I have tons of pictures that I need to scrap but have done little of scrapping. I do want to improve on that though. I love your layouts especially the snow angels that is just priceless. I will be following your blog, good job!!
Cute layout! I began my paper crafting with cards back in 1996. Then in 1998 my aunt introduced me to scrapbooking after my first husband passed away due to cancer. I was only 20 when he passed and scrapbooking help me get through this difficult time in my life. I am now remarried and have4 beautiful children. I still continue to make card and scrapbook today.

I feel like I am walking in your shoes!! I started scraping over a year ago as I needed to get my grown up kids pictures into some semblance of order but like you, I do like the instant gratification a card gives me! This blog hop is fantastic! Congratulations! I am now a follower. Hope you can drop by my blog too!

I'm a late bloomer - I started making paper creations about a year ago with Valentines but really got into it six months ago when I retired. So enjoy scrapping with my daughters and granddaughters too! Thanks for the blog hop today!

Hi! I love your layouts! I started scrapbooking about 12 years ago. Last year I did more card-making and now I am really far behind on my scrapbooking so I need to get back to my roots too!

What wonderful layouts! Just one thing about adding recycled things to your layouts--if you want them to last for generations, you need to be concerned about the acid level in whatever you use. There are sprays that will supposedly make your recycled items archivally safe, but they are pricey and who knows if they really work? I mean, who's lived that long? Just a thought. I started scrapbooking way back in the dark ages when a scrapbook was a looseleaf book, with leatherette covers (that helpfully said *scrapbook*) and pages held together with string...I've seen it all---going to Creative Memories parties and buying *cool* paper and stickers...through edge-cutting scissors....into Page protectors and three-dimensional embellishments and punches! I've been a follow for a while--I love coming here to poke around and enjoy your creativety. You can find me art ksjennings at gmail dot com and/or http://karelj.blogspot.com
I was just looking through some of my first scrapbooks.....my first page ever was of my daughters fifth birthday, eeeehhhh its was sooooo plain and simple. ive kind of gottin away from scrapbboking my many pictures (I do alot my paper crafting then scrapbooking now) and I'm trying to get back to scrapbooking my pics. Thanks for sharing!!!
Hi! I love the back to school layout!! SO CUTE!! I started scrapbooking about 11 years ago, in high school and have continued all through the years. I absolutely love it. I also love cardmaking! Thanks for the blog hop! I also have candy going on at my blog HERE!

I have been scrapbooking for about three years now. It started with a Cuttlebug (which I just used last night) and then for Christmas I got a Cricut Expression (which I also used last night). I have done more cards than I have scrapbooking. But I can justify it that I have an all day scrap event in Feb. So I'll be making up for it. TFS!

i love your layouts, they are adorable!

Very cute layouts! I have been scrapbooking since kids were little - mid 1980's. A good friend of mine recently peeked my interest in card making! gikinney1@gmail.com
I have only been scrapping for a year. I found it to be wonderful therapy after a hard couple years, It helps me wind down and remember who I am. Thanks for sharing your Layout, Its been a while since I have seen a Layout hopScrappyScavenger at yahoo dotcom!
Thanks for sharing your layouts! I started doing a form of "memory keeping" when I was in high school, long before Scrapbooking was in vougue! But really started "scrapping" as we now know it about 10 years ago. I just am not consistent and I give away a lot of gifts and do a lot of card making and not so much scrapping for myself, so I am VERY behind!

Cricut Matriarch@yahoo.com
I began papercrafting/scrapbooking in 1994. A very dear friend of mine, who passed away earlier this month, invited me to a Creative Memories party and so began my love of scrapbooking and paper crafting. Now I am fortunate enough to share this love with my daughter, who is 7.
Thanks for the opportunity and I really love your school layout.
Super cute lay outs! I did my first scrapbook page when I was 17 but wasn't really into it so I didn't end up scrapping again til I had my first child and then I Only scrapped a page or 2 a year. Then Last year at Christmas time I saw my first Cricut expression at Walmart and just had to have it but after I saw the price I knew I wasn't going to be able to afford it for a while. My Father in-law was with me when this happened and after seeing how disappointed I was about not getting it went back and bought it for me for Christmas. So I've now had 1 super full year of crafting! :)

Take Care!!
Jennie @ http://earthyscrap.blogspot.com/
I guess I started when I was 4, old enough to start school of the arts...finished all of their classes and went to private tutor for 5 years. I have always been working and creating with paper, I cannot remember when I didn't. When I was younger (8??) I would cut the words and letters apart from newpaper and ads then glue them down to make my own page layouts LOL
My entire life I have been involved with some type of paper, including working in advertising. LOL I still have (and it works) an original waxer that was used to do layouts, it reminds me of days before computers and everything digital, when it all had to be hand placed, then shot with a camera (with film!!)

Super cute layout! I started scrapbooking back in 1999!!!
All of your layouts are adorable, as are your kiddos! I have only done a couple of layouts in my crafting career because I didn't really get into it until my son was grown and married. I started cardmaking, altered art and other crafts many years ago though so I have been into paper arts for quite some time.

I started scrapbooking about 12 years ago and like you moved into card making but would like to return to scrapping my children's lives. This hop is a great inspiration. Thanks. :)
I started scrapbooking almost 20 years ago, but after we moved I quit and just picked it up again last August when I bought a Cricut. I'm having a blast, but I don't know if I'll ever get caught up! At least I know what I'll be doing if/when I get around to retiring!

I don't scrapbook but I've been making cards for about 2 years now. I'd like to start scrapbooking but frankly I never print pictures out...it's all digital! Thanks for sharing and hosting a blog hop!

I just found your blog through others in your blog hop. I'm now your newest follower! Thanks so much for featuring scrapbooking in this hop...I always love to see the layouts others create with their Cricuts. Also, thanks for the chance to win! Oh, and I started scrapbooking when I got married 11 years ago (so I could make a wedding album). I just recently started card-making around Christmas. :o)

I have been scrapbooking for 13 years but only really paper crafting for about 2.
I am very new to this whole process. I have had my Cricut for a couple of weeks now. I have four cartridges and I am looking to build my library in the next couple of weeks.
EAch blog I visit brings me new inspriations for designs I can do.
Thank you
I love your layout. I got started scrapbooking about 12 years ago. I just recently started again, but have found with my cricut I'd rather do cards than layouts. This is something I'm determined to work on this year.

such a super cute layout! I'm here from Scrappy Jak.
Very cute layout! I started scrapping Aug of last year but have not given it my full attention until now. I am a new follower and look forward to scrapping together! AJ - queenofmynest(at)gmail(dot)com
I started papercrafting at about 8 months, with a collage of torn magazine pages, formula and baby slobber. I have now advanced, 57 years later, to torn magazine pages, multi-media, and acrylic paints. LOL!
I started scrapping over 8 years ago. I enjoy cardmaking too, but it seems that's I do. So like you I need to get back to scrapbooking.
I feel like I started scrapbooking just a few years ago but it's been 10 years! OH WOW !! I have completed a lot of albums and since I started, five grandkids have come along. I see my style changing and evolving and I love where I am!

My scrapping roots go back a long way. My 6 kids are all grown now but love the books I made for them. One year that was all we could give them for Christmas but they still talk about their books and how much they mean.
Now I stick to making cards and that keeps me pretty busy.
I started scrapbooking in 1996 before my twin boys were born... Lately I am a failure... I am behind! But I have high hopes! The boys love looking at their books. Thank you for sharing!

I've been making cards for a few years but never done a scrapbook. I want to but I just don't know where to start. My husband got me an Imagine for Christmas so maybe that will give the push I need. I've lived in West Africa for the last decade and a half and have thousands of pictures in boxes and on computer. I'm also new to the whole world of blogs. Very interesting.
I started scrapbooking in 1981 before my twin girls were born...My mom was a Crafty person so I started young doing crafts.

I started crafting in 1981 and been crafting ever since. I like to do all kinds of crafts but right now I received a cricut expression and a cuttlebug for christmas. So right now it is trial and error. But I love these machines.
Have a great day and thank you for letting me join in. You have a greatttt site.
I started scrapbooking in 08 and have loved it ever since. I became an addict!!! I started getting into other crafts and I love them too but have strayed away from making layouts also. I told myself this year I will make more layouts and complete albums which was my first "love" to begin with.
I started collecting about 5+ years ago LOL! I've come over so many cute stamps, pages, cards, etc that I am getting myself more & more motivated. I do own a Cricut and am FINALLY learning how great it is :)
Started Scrapping about 7 years ago and loved it ..did it for my boys and to record memories but then I got hooked on cardmaking and need to get caught up again... into Scrapbooking again...you inspired me with the snow page you did a while back...got me going again...thanks for the chance to blog hop with you and win!

I started scrapbooking around 1985- my son was 5 yrs old. I did all his baby pictures with very little to work with, then I was involved with stampin'up. Actually I remember embossing with a light bulb... I stayed with SU for a few years but it wasnt to popular in the NE. Idid earn alot of stamp set and learned by trial and error. Afew year went by without scrapbooking because I was card making. My son was in Scouts so I started a scrapbook for him. Back then there was little around with anything that was scout related or wilderness related. I hooked up with Creative memories and learned their techniques and eventually found camping stickers (YAY). When my son was 18 he had made it to Life Scout and I completed his album. Its about 5 inches thick...his scout years reflecs how I grew with products as they became available around here... Its a great book, one he will treasure as his son is 7 and in scouts...thank God we have the cricut, Im scrap booking both my grandchildrens books, aboy and a girl. My grandsons on his 2nd book...lol
I have been paper crafting since I was a kid. I have been scrapping for the last 15 years or so.
Cute layouts and little ones! I started scrapping when I was in highschool and that was in the 90s. I got a Creative Memories scrapbook in about 2000 but didn't know what to do with it and had never heard of any of the stuff! Then I had friends who were into Stampin Up! and it all launched from there. I the paper, the stamp spots, and the markers along with several stamps, but wanted to get into scrapbooking. So discovered Michaels and Creative Memories and then the internet, JoAnn's and blogging. I am on a design team for http://ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com and I have my own blog too. http://timelesslegacydesigns.blgospot.com. I am now starting a scrapbooking group at my home through church and I will be sharing what I know with those gals! Whew! I have been collecting tools, Cricuts, and all kinds of this and that!
Congrats on your 1st blog hop!!! :0)
