  46. Heather Ippolito Says:

    I love scrapping my daughter at Disneyland. She is only three and she’s already been over 40 times. Her expression of wonder never changes as we walk through the park so I’m able to get really great shots— and the embellies are really fun too!

  47. Natalie Says:

    I’m enjoying scrapbooking the little stuff more and more. as much as I love the holidays, all the Christmas pictures over the years haven’t been very different. but a minidate with my husband, or a random walk around the neighborhood— that’s new :)

  48. Nadine Says:

    so far, I scrap my son. but
    I will always scrap something
    or someone dear to me (:

    This book looks awesome. I love scrapbooking my travels around the world – helps me remember the small details and I like using all the little bits and pieces of memorabilia I pick up along the way.

  51. Leslie Says:

    This book is exactly what I need—particularly when I scrap my favorite subject—my daughter!

  52. Shannon C. Says:

    I love scrapping anything to do with my kids. I know it is not unique, but it truly is what inspires me!

  53. justlisa Says:

  54. Roo Says:

    My family’s life is the subject I scrap most. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  55. Susan Brennan Says:

    Thanks!
    Megan P

  60. Anthea Goodman Says:

    My girls are definitely my favourite thing to scrap. I like to remind myself how precious they are – especially on those days where they just seem to be permanently crabby. I’m lucky to have them really as I was told I would never have kids… so scrapping about them just helps me to remember that no matter how much they wind me up, I love them loads and wouldn’t be without them!

    Anthea

  61. Jamie Leija Says:

    Travel, hands down! I have so many travel pics. I love looking at them, reflecting on the random things while I’m scrapping them, and having a beautiful visual representation of all the good times I’ve had!

  62. HannahBanana Says:

    stuff I own is my favourite thing to scrap – pretty crockery, patterned clothes and yummy shoes; to name but a few. I own it, “I love it, I scrap it!” :D x

  63. gayle Says:

    My fave stuff to scrap is the everyday. The hangers my grandmother made when she came over from Russia; family game night; my lame attempts to cook. Yep, I love the everyday.

  64. Fiona Says:

    Has to be my family – especially the boys.

    I know I should say my kids, but I really enjoy scrapping myself.

  72. Christine Says:

    I would say my family is my favorite topic, especially those everyday quirky moments that kind of just happen.

  73. Jo Says:

    It has to be by boys – I have one that loves me taking photos of him and is a very willing subject – the other one runs a mile!!!!!

  74. Helen Says:

    For me my scrapbooking is my version of an autobiography, so although I love scraping anything, my most common subject is myself.

  75. magda flynn Says:

    For now my favourite topic to scrapbook is traveling, but I am pregnant so it my change soon.

  76. Terri Morris Says:

    I must say that my travels are my favourite topic, I love the way scrapping them makes me remember the adventures had, even when its a cold winter evening they warm me through.

  77. tamara dunkin Says:

    shim – i have to tell you i LOVE your blog. your pages (esp. combination of elements) are inspiring. so thanks for putting yourself out there for us to follow you!

    that said, my favorite subject to scrapbook… do i really have to choose just one? it used to be traveling. vacations. that sort of thing.

  94. Kajsa Says:

    Still considering myself a newbie, and having… well… issues with scrapping the topic that got me here in the first place.
    Whilst on sick leave recovering from brain surgery and undergoing chemo, I just decided to go to a LSS, just to check scrapbooking out, and I got stuck big time!
    So… I just have to get on the wagon, and scrap about my experiences during that time.
    When the flow comes, this will be the big topic.

  95. jen Says:

    My fave things to scrap are events with my friends … wine tasting, concerts, retreats!

    A common answer but my favorite topic is my kids. I really love scrapping pictures of them together doing sibling things :)

  97. scarymary555 Says:

    My favourite thing to scrap is either my self or my two off-spring, but I’m finding it increasingly difficult to get them to have their photo taken nowadays!! LOL

  98. Bezzie Says:

    I love to do pages about my nieces…..they are so cute

  99. Debbie Says:

    My favorite topic has been my daughter but I am now scrapping more about myself for my daughter.

  100. sheila joss Says:

    My favourite thing to scrap is whatever pierces me…that moment when I hear words or music or see an image or person or thing and it roots inside me and makes me feel that I understand the world better. These are clumsy words and I hope they don’t sound like pretentious claptrap :-)

  101. Debbi Says:

    I love to scrapbook pictures of my girls in relaxed, casual, everyday settings to see what “real life” was like.

  102. sheena Says:

    I like to scrap the “ every day “ things , my life , my kids and what we do/say x

  106. Michele Marshall Says:

  107. Kathy Says:

    I’ve really been interested in scrapping my family heritage this year. Fun facts about each member I can gather info from. Love “Pencil Lines”, great inspiration!

  108. Donna Says:

    I thought my favourite topic would be my travels, but as it turns out I haven’t done much scrapping of them! So I’m going to say family history instead – I don’t have many photos of my grandparents, but the ones I have are fab!

  109. Anna Robbins Says:

    Right now I would have to say anything Twilight. It’s a silly addiction but having a blast doing it.

  110. lindschick Says:

    It may sound weird but i love to scrap about the things i want my future children to know about me…the things and people i love, the places i have been, the parties i have gone to and the fun i have had with their (future) father. OK now that does sound weird, even to me! xxx

  114. Carol Says:

    I love to scrap Disney World. It feels like that is all I do scrap.

  115. Emy Says:

    My favourite topic to scrapbook is my kids. I know it’s been said before, but with 3 kids under 5, they are constantly growing and changing and there are so many fleeting moments to catch. I particularly like including the strange things they say, for example, my 4 year old daughter recently said “I wish i had 13 tongues and one of them had a zip in it so I could stick it to my eye”. You can’t make that stuff up!!

  116. Mandy Says:

    My favorite topic would be my French Bulldog Buddha! He just has the cutest face and is a real poser, almost all photos turn out to be adorable!
    Thanks for having the chance to win the book!

  120. Elizabeth Says:

    When I scrapbook it’s about a holiday.

  121. Julie Says:

  122. Sarah Says:

    My fave topic is my daughter, although I am trying to to more about me. Thanks for this giveaway!

  129. Lynn Says:

    I love creating ‘Right Now’ pages about the little things that are important to me at that moment in time. They’re really interesting to look back on too and see how my thoughts & feelings have changed. Without creating these pages all these little details would likely be forgotten. They aren’t always important things but together they paint a picture of who I am.

  130. Nelle Says:

    My little nephew, followed my day to day life.

  131. Nathalie Says:

  148. Kimberly Belcher Says:

    My favorite subject to scrapbook is my children, however this year I have decided to focus more on me and preserving my thoughts, experiences and feelings for my children/grandchildren in the future.

  149. Diane Says:

    this is a hard toss – I think I like scrapbooking the everyday moments, capturing them so that they are not lost in a blur of happy memories.

  150. Leslie Says:

    I’d have to say my family. I find it very hard to scrapbook about myself. It seems so self serving. I realize I need to get over that.

  151. rachel Says:

    my fave thing to scrap is my kids of course. all the fun things we do together! =]
    fingers crossed!

  152. Nancy L Says:

  156. pidge Says:

    my favorite thing to scrap is my feelings about the past. i find myself using a lot of my past journal entries in layouts with present photos and then comparing the two (ie. how much i’ve grown as a person and how things stay the same.) thanks for the chance to win this book — looks super cool!

  157. Melinda Wilson Says:

    my favorite thing to scrapbook is vacations or my dogs! It use to be my sons but now that they have grown up and moved out, its time for us!

  158. Trindin Cavalier Says:

    My favorite topic to scrapbook is my family. I work on albums for my girls, my nephew and my hubby. Hubby’s hunts and fishes all over the world and his books are really amazing.

  159. ~SugarJen Says:

    I love to scrap Christmas!

  161. Shaina Says:

    My favorite scrapbooking topic is just little everyday things…like going to the park or a sushi date with my boyfriend :)

  162. juls Says:

  168. LuluUK Says:

    It’s always my kids – with three boys under 4, I have lots if pictures!

  171. Zahra Says:

    My daughter is my favourite subject, but I love to scrap firsts, sayings, books, places we’ve been and, because we live so FAR away from all of them, our extended families so she has a record of them, their feelings about her, occasions we’ve visited etc.

    But I do also want to scrap more about me, places we’ve been before child etc etc!

  172. wannabe rebel Says:

    LIFE

  173. Kirsty Smith Says:

    I love to scrap myself, my family and my friends in the every day – the things that would otherwise be forgotten.

    Tricky to choose one thing though!

  174. stinkydudette Says:
