This is equivalent to

{Plus[1,{1,1}],Plus[1,{2,2}]}

The first argument to plus is a list of two elements and the second argument is a list of three elements. What would do expect Mathematica to do when there is no element in the first argument to correspond to the last element of the second argument.

Perhaps you want

{1,1}+$&/@{{1,1},{2,2},{3,3}}
