Guess my title gets pretty specific, eh, lol?

Do you ever notice a pattern in which kid (insert other, but kid for me) you use for each specific team? Like I use my oldest dd, Ali, for a lot of Dianne's pages. And my little peanut, Lucy, I use almost always for Citrus Blossoms. And then for Dani B, it seems to get mixed in half with my friend's baby boy too.

Just wondering if anyone else does this.....

I've noticed that I scrap way more pictures of my youngest than my other two children. I had been digi-scrapping six months and one of my fellow CT members told me she never even realized I had a son until I posted a layout of him! I'm not sure it's so much that I don't want to scrap him, as that I scrap what inspires me. I'm always drawn to bright colors, and his two favorite colors are gray and olive... not exactly lending themselves to the things I like to scrap. And Chesney just tends to be the brightest, girliest girl in the bunch and she's got that developing personality... so I tend to do more of her.

ROFLOL LISA!!!!! Hehehehehehe.

Great and interesting conversation. I am like you, Kim, I tend to scrap my littlest one or my girl the most. I don't get as many Henry pictures because he mostly just sits lol and that is only interesting for so long and all his baby pics need scanning - blech. I hadn't thought about certain design styles fitting different kids, but I do tend to get more grungy with my boys. Can't wait to hear more thoughts on this.

LOL Lisa!

Since I just started scrapping, I find that I do most of my LOs of my little dd. It may have something to do with being able to scrap the emotions and feelings that go on as she is reaching various milestones. With my older boys, it's hard because I would have to go back and try to remember, KWIM? Plus, everything I have of my dd is digital and makes it so much easier to scrap. I do feel bad for not scrapping a ton of pages of my ds'.

when I first started digital scrapping I probably did more pages of my youngest than anything else, but he was only 6 months old so I was heavy into the baby photo taking thing at that time. Now it's evened out a lot and I try to scrap each of the kids evenly - I tend to go through spurts of one kid, then another, then the other and back again. I don't know that I tend to use certain kids for specific designers - I have all boys and it's all pretty similar.

This is an interesting topic. I know for a fact I scrap more of my daughter than my son right now. She's 20 months old, he's 10. I think the little ones just lend themselves to scrapping better and to picture taking more in general. Olivia is constantly doing something new and "cute", where as Nick has himself shut up in his room playing games all day. LOL

Plus with her, I now have a digi camera, so I'm not having to wait on getting pics developed and scanned. I can snap away all day and scrap them at night. I have TONS of pics of my son when he was little, I just need to get them scanned in. When I've got the two of them together, I try to make an effort to take more pics of him so I can work with those. A 10yo isn't always accomodating though...

Now I feel bad and have to go scrap some pics of my son......LOL

Hee, hee Lisa.

Good question, I try to (repeat try) scrap one of each in then repeat. But, with Elizabeth being the youngest, I want to scrap her changes all the time. Not really any order with the designer. And for me, it kind of depends on what photos I just downloaded. I may have a plan, and then I get this great photo-and there goes my plan.
