I tried paper scrapping just a little bit, but I don’t think it was long enough to influence my digi scrapping. I definitely like the artsy and blended look that is easier-achieved digitally.
I was a paper scrapper for almost 10 years before switching to digi. That was 18 years ago. My paper scrapping used to really influence my style. I wanted my pages to really replicate the look I created as a digi scrapper. But these days, not so much. (It probably still influences my more traditional pages.)
