ACOT Message Board

Does anyone know the age groups of scrapbookers?

You mean in general, or on this site?

All age groups!

Old enough to play with scissors and glue! My dgd (13) scraps with me at home. When I go to crops, usually it's ladies from early adulthood to grannies. We all have something in common so age doesn't matter and we grannies love looking at those sweet baby pics anyway.

I did my first scrapbook at age 15 and didn't start another until 45 and now I am hooked. DD started at 15 and is the reason I started in ernest! She is now 25.

It would be interesting for this number geek to know what the national demographics were though!

I did a scrapbook of when DD went to Washington DC in 5th grade,but it wasn't the archival type. I didn't scrap in earnest until youngest DS was a little over a year old...he just turned 10. But I took almost 4 years off from scrapping as I went thru a divorce...been at it hot and heavy again for about 3 years or so. My kids use my stash as a resource for school projects, but no one else in my family or circle of friends scraps, so ACOT is my resource and go-to spot!

I started when I was 25 and I'm 31 now, but I think scrapbookers are starting younger and younger It's great!

I started when I was 57 yrs old. I had no idea that there was even a hobby called scrapbooking. Big surprise to me. I got a new camera for my trip to England and wanted to put the pics into an album with my pamphlets and other items collected on my trip. Then, I found out about the scrapbook industry! Still learning.

Yeah there is no age group specific for scrapbooking. Anyone that wants to put photos on paper and save for later, is a scrapbook page!!! I started stamping and card making around 11 I think and then got into scrapbooking around 14 and I am now 27. I have been scrapping on and off the entire time!

I scrapbooked when I was a kid in the 60's but it was just pictures of the Beatles and other bands from magazines and newspapers.

I started again in 2000, 12 years ago, so what I was 53? My mama and daddy's annivesary album was my inspiration and 1st project; our Scotland vacation was my 2nd. Now I have more than 27 albums filled (most of them 3 ring binders).

I let my granddaughter make her first scrapbook last year at age 3.

Start them young!

We must be about the same age. I am 61, but will be 62 on July 5.
