She better!!!!! She also loves to scrapbook, so I'm sure she'll treasure them forever. But just in case, we're going to have a talk today!!!

I started or rather stopped doing those kinds of pages a long time ago too. anything that seemed cliche or not real has not been in my pages for a long time. I quit scrapping just to get published (I do still send in but only if something I have fits the call). I quit scrapping things that I didn't want to scrap (for DTs or challenges or pub calls). I scrap about the things we do as a family, places we've been, and even events that I want us to remember. I don't scrap about work or things that I do by myself. If my albums, no matter how pretty or artsy I make the pages, are really for my kids, then I want the pages to be about things that I want the kids to remember and that they will cherish having when they are older. Right now, I seriously have enough pages done to give them each 10 or more albums. I know by the time they are adults it will be out of control. Someday, I'll likely go through the albums and remove older things that are just not meaningful.-Tracy- wrote: When my kids go through the mounds of my scrapbooking, are they really gonna want 10 pages that say Cherish or Love or 100% Boy? I'm committing scrapbooking heresy here, but really I think it's time for me to downsize and get back to what I meant to do in the beginning. And do it in some form or fashion that is not going to overwhelm my kids when I'm dead.
That's just me though.

I loved reading all the thoughts on this theme.
I only do paper scrap and love its outlet for a myriad of stresses
But I started doing this to better preserve some photos and memories.
I have most if not all of my layouts scanned and therefore (as I envision it) printable later without the bulk if someone cares to.
I journal but not a lot and I think I might do a bit more of this since often I feel it is a chronicle of an event and the pictures tell the bulk of the story (I mostly do multi-pic layouts) but I think I'll start to add more. I probably won't go back and add much to that which is done but in general I'm satisfied in the work both for its art and its content.
My guess is they'll keep the digital versions and maybe even some printouts. I doubt the bulky originals will be more than reference points 10 or 20 years from now but right now having them, sharing the creative process of this and writing poetry and having an outlet for the emotions is good for me and good for my boys.
