Some of us started papercrafting way before it also involved being online and having a blog. So given that, what online resource did you find most useful to you as a papercrafter when you first started combining both papercrafting and the internet?

For me everything started with www.cricutholiday.com which was formerly Holidays with the Cricut and now Everyday Cricut, I was interested in viewing projects created by the Cricut because I was a new owner. It wasn't until then that I realized just how many resources were online and how popular papercrafting and blogging about it actually was/is! I don't really visit that blog very often now but it's fun to visit now and again just to see what the have created recently.

For me it all started with www.cricut.com and has branched out from there. It all started back in January 2007 when I got my first bug. I didn't actually start blogging until December of 2009. I resisted as long as I could

The beginning of 2009. I used a lot of Kaisercraft products and started visiting their website. They have sketches, tips and ideas that gave me inspiration. There are so many sites that you can visit so I rarely go to that site now. I started blogging only about 2 months ago!But I love it, it's a great way to show my work and connect with others who love scrapbooking.

I would have to Scrapbooks Etc. mainly because once I subscribed to the magazine, I had to check out their layouts and projects on the web!

Now that you mention it...that was a really big one for me after I subscribed to the magazine too! I actually do go back to it I'm thinking at least once a month if not more when I want to get an idea or see how other people used a particular product or technique. It does have a lot of great info on that site and it's organized fairly well too!

Hmmm, I have been scrapbooking for 3 years now and I can't even remember where I started getting my inspiration from. I guess Two Peas was a go to for me??

I honestly have no idea. I've been scrapping for in excess of 30+ years (back then we only had construction paper and rubber cement - oh the horror!!!!!!). With the internet came tons of opportunities to see different things and so many new sites and blogs are coming about because of this craft we love.

I started out as a Stampin' Up! demo so I began scrapbooking with my stamps and cardstock only. Then, I branched out by subscribing to Creating Keepsakes magazine. Now, I'm into all kinds of patterned papers and embellishments thanks to all the wonderful companies, blogs, and communities available online!

I got my first cricut just last christmas, and stumbled upon my pink stamper, and from there my creative time, and from there onto starting my own blog, and of course facebook links EVERYONE so 'I have lots of blogs that I follow now.

I think I jumped around a lot. I liked looking through the gallery at Scrapbook.com. I also looked at Stampin' Up! and YouTube!
