Does anyone know the age groups of scrapbookers?

[oceanbreezes423]

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.
