My second child is a freshman in college. I stopped #1 when she moved out at 18. I'm ending #2 at the point he goes off to college. Only 6 or so pages left.
It works well because scrapbooking isn't as enjoyable as it was 10 years ago. #3 is still a sophomore.

Nope haven't stopped scrapping my kids yet. My dd's are 24, 27, 29. They do way more interesting things than I do now. So easy to email or text photos, so they humor me by sending photos all the time. They are in the majority of my December Daily photos.

I don't know if I'll ever purposely stop. My oldest is 18. I'm still scrapping her.
But I scrap my parents too.
For me scrapping is my stress outlet. So, my kids probably won't care about them, but I do it for me.

I stopped scrapping in their separate 8.5x11 albums and started scrapping in 12x12 family albums about 2 or 3 years ago. I’m enjoying it a lot more. I think I was putting too much effort into creating albums for them and not enough effort into enjoying my hobby.

Mine are 22 and 24. I have tons of pictures with the 22 year old because he feels that no vacation or trip is complete without him. I'm good with that.

I don't plan on stopping. I make a family album for each year, and while my college DD is in it, she just has fewer pages now. I steal most of her photos from her Instagram.

Pretty much when they graduated college and moved out on their own I stopped scrapping their lives. Of course I scrap the photos we may take when we are together, but I don’t take pictures off of their social media to scrap. They don’t post much on social media anyways, or at least not on IG. They are not on Facebook.

I stopped their individual scrapbooks after high school, but they are included in our family albums when they have participated in family activities, holidays, vacations, etc.

Yes. But started grandchildren. We can use if for blackmail..."I'll stop scrapbooking you when you give me grandkids to work on..." Just kidding of course! (My oldest is 20. I still scrapbook him and he'd feel dreadful if I didn't! He's the one who comes downstairs to see "what are you working on?" )

I never made my kids their own scrapbooks, but they are included in mine.
I make my grandchildren their own books. I only have 2 grands, so I am able to do that.

No, I scrapbook for me. If I have a good picture of them that I like, I’m going to scrapbook it. It’s not really about them, it’s about me so it’s whatever I want to put on my pages.
Plus some of the pictures they take now as young adults just scream to be scrapbooked for later viewing humor. I want to make sure they don’t forget what they were like at this age, lol.

I think I was putting too much effort into creating albums for them and not enough effort into enjoying my hobby. I went the opposite direction -I've always done family albums but once they moved out, I started individual albums for them. The older two are 18 and 27 - I still have DD12 at home

I've always just scrapbooked for us as a family, so I'll always include my son in them.

Instagram is seriously a game changer! My hs freshman almost never lets me get a pic of them. We're talking bribery to get even one. Now I just log on to Instagram and BAM!😀 pics of them with friends, in their clubs and sports at school, etc.

I have two sons in college. I still scrapbook them but it's much less than before. But as I still have many unscrapped pictures from their earlier years, I have plenty to work with!

I don't have kids. I haven't stopped scrapbooking my now young adult age Nieces and Nephews, because time (and photos's) with them is part of my life. My scrapbooks represent my life history, memories, moments, etc... The "kids" aren't in my scrapbooks as frequently anymore, because they are busy young adults and they don't require Auntie to babysit them, therefore no outings to the park, McD's, kid places, hanging out at my home, etc.. I do occasionally have one on one dates with them, and see them at Family gatherings.

I never did individual albums. Occasionally I did individual pages for the family albums.
Once they grew up and left home, there were fewer opportunities to take pictures of their individual activities, anyway.
Now I scrapbook photos of their kids. It was especially important for a long time, because they did not live near us, so it helped me feel like I wasn't missing out on everything. We moved closer two years ago, so we get together more often than we used to be able to do. Recently, one of our granddaughters was in a hula demonstration, and we got to go see her perform. She was so cute, and I took lots of photos. I will definitely be scrapbooking that.
I still do occasional pages of individuals in the family, but it's more likely to be grandchildren now than my children.

Otherwise I just screenshot the pics on my kindle. pic deer
