I've been doing it about a year and I can say that I have definetly developed my style. I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I would crop pictures in terrible ways and didn't hardly use any patterned paper of really any nice cardstock.
There are several pages that I want to redo now that I have a hint as to what I am doing.

I think that my style has definitely gotten more sophiscated and less random (been scrapping for about 2 years). I am bad at matching so I try to stay within color groups and do everything say 3 colors. I think that it's working much better and avoid problems with neon pink mats! Also I am getting better at using computer fonts.

I've been scrapping for about 2 years and my style has definately changed! (if you can call what I did when I started a style ) It was more like cut and caos on a page. no order, no matching, no real themes. It was ugly to say the least! Now I'm actually paper piecing backgrounds together that match the pictures for that layout! What a difference a few good supplies--(I only started with some paper, one pair of kitchen shears, and a glue stick) and lots of practice can make!

I started my first scrapbook 6 years ago, with construction paper, scotch tape, and a crayola black marker.
Yeah, I would say that my style has changed.
I have been trying to be more artistic with my layouts by enhancing pictures with colors and remembering that in some cases, less is more.
It will be interesting to see if we each "plateau" or if we will always evolve into another style.

I've been scrapping since March '98 and have changed a lot. It depends on how much I have to do and on what new things I've bought. Also the mags and idea books/websites help me.

I've been scrapping for 3 1/4 years now. My style has changed - more matting, less stickers, use background prints more. I only have one early page that bothers me so much I will redo it - PLAIN UG-LEE!! - and several of my early pages are still on my favorites list.

I have been scrapping for over 8 years, and my style has DEFINITELY changed! I pay more attention to colors now. I also do things like chalking, paper tearing, water coloring, using new techniques (wire, grommets, etc.), and on and on. Probably the biggest change for me has been using my computer for so many things involved with scrapping...especially journaling and titles. I really like the style I have know as compared to when I started. I know that my style will probably continue to evolve though, which is one of the fun aspects of scrapbooking. There are always new things to try, so it doesn't get boring!
