Scrapper way before stamper! It was only recently that I put the two together. Like chocolate & peanutbutter- both good alone but together? oh yeah! ;)
I started as a scrapper. I was introduced to scrapping about 9 years ago at my sister's baby shower. Someone gave her decorated paper, scissors, etc. I couldn't image why my sis was so excited about "stupid" scissors. LOL. Then I got hooked. I was introduced to stamping a few years ago. Now I'm trying to merge the two together.
Stamping was first for me too. I just started scrapping about 6 months ago because a friend wanted me too join a monthly club with her. I have a good time don't get much done but I get a lot of good ideas and everyone is so nice there and will share anything with you.
Stamping! I started stamping 5 years ago and have been scrapping for 3 years. I just have a hard time trying to combine the two. But I enjoy doing both!

I started scrapping 6 years ago and just started stampin 1 year ago. I too can't seem to tie the two together yet. I have yet to use any of my stamps in my scrapbook.
Stamping first, then scrappin' for me. I, too, fought the scrappin' for a long time...but I'm glad I finally gave in, it gives me another excuse not to have to clean the house! ;)
I got the urge to start both about the same time, and saw the potential for stamping in my albums from the very beginning. However, both got put on hold for a while and when I finally did get started, it was stamping first, still with the idea of starting with cards but wanting to use the stamps in my albums. It took a while to finally get my scrapping started. Now I just wish I had time - I don't get much of either one done anymore.
I started stamping first, went to a scrap party, and said I would NEVER do that! Two years after I said that I started scrapping and can't stop. I've finished about 10 albums now.
I started stamping about a year or two before I started scrapping. I don't do much stamping on my scrapbook pages tho - not sure why? I've only done one page with stamps!
Stamping first-- and book binding with calligraphy (that all started about 1991. I started scrapping 3 years ago when daughter was born. Scrapping is now what I do and cardmaking now is rare. Still love bookbinding but I never practice my calligraphy.
__________________ Life is too short: eat chocolate and stamp up a storm. It will come out OK in the end.
Scrapping first with Creative Memories. I was even a consultant until I went on bedrest with my second son (stillborn). I dropped all hobbies for quite awhile. I met stampers and joined a group at my new job almost two years ago. I was just making cards first, but now I'm using them in my scrapbook, too. I'm about half CM and half SU in my scrapping, now.
It was simultaneous! I wanted to get into scrapping, but my SIL was into CM and I knew I couldn't compete with her, didn't want to have to compare myself to her is more appropriate. When a friend who was a demo had me over for a workshop I realized that I could scrap this way without having to compare myself, and now I am doing more cards than scrapbooking. Boy, talk about run on sentences!

I scrapped first. I got a neat alphabet set from a scrapbook store.
Then it was like this.....
Hummmm...I need a b-day card for my bro. I've got some alpha stamps and blue paper.....WAIT... I need a birthday stamp...OMG everyone loves my card.
I'm hooked, but everyone expects a homemade card for EVERY occasion now! I am so blessed!
