Evolution Of A Scrapper?

I was going through some old files and found these layouts. I can't believe how much my style has changed in the past 5 years. Although, in some ways, it hasn't changed at all - my layouts are still girly, feminine and filled with bling, lol! This layout was, and still is, one of my favourites. If I were to recreate it today, I think there would be a lot more dimension, layering and details.
This was the first layout I ever had published. Seriously! I created it for a Scrapbook Creations competition, and they sent back a note asking if they could publish it. So, I didn't win the prize, but I did get published. I was okay with that deal. (-:

This is another of my favourites. This was the layout that triggered my love of whitespace.

And that hasn't changed.

I think this may have been one of the first monochromatic layouts that I did. Don't you just love that photo? LOL!!!

This was probably my first layout where I actually used fabric. I like the colours and the layout, but that technique has never really stuck with me. I guess I'm just not a material kind of girl? (Yes, I know that was a lame joke, but I just couldn't help myself!!!). Tomorrow we will be back to our regular programming... with recent layouts. (-:
