Poll: Are you a "theme scrapper?"

I sometimes am. I buy travel themed supplies because I make a lot of travel pages, and I have a small stash of birthday and Christmas supplies. Mostly though, I'm a theme scrapper because I feel compelled to use the icons that inevitably come in embellishment packs when they match the photos. If those themed pieces weren't in the embellishments I'd happily find something else to use.

sometimes - although I'm moving away from it a bit.

I probably am, but I'm trying to be less of one.

I will no longer buy birthday collections until they either stop being gendered, or one is made where the embellishments are more of a 'happy birthday to ME', and not 'happy birthday to you' because I would like to scrap my own birthday too. I have been using the birthday person's favorite color on their birthday layouts instead.

I'm also guilty of buying a theme because THEME! and then when I go to scrap with it, it doesn't actually work with my photos, and it's so themey it's hard to use for anything else...

But on the flipside, there are a lot of themes I wish existed, that I would buy in an instant, if I could find them... at the moment a tennis line that is not photo realisitic or over the top neon yellow tennis ball colors would hop right into my cart.  

So, I guess I'm somewhere in between.

Yes - I would say 90% of the time I am themed.

Awhile back I had subbed to the Not Just for Boys kits and I liked that those were mostly non-themed so that I was challenged a bit. It got me to use more "everyday" type photos instead of just event/travel pics.

I tend to organize most papers by theme as well - it's just what makes sense to me.

I've done lots of birthday pages but never used birthday paper. I tend to use paper that fits the "theme" of the birthday party instead (video games, 80's, sesame street, trains, etc).

I also like to use the themed titles from Paper Wizard when doing travel/beach/Disney pages.

I marked yes, sometimes. But in reality the only time I theme scrapbook is for Halloween and Christmas. I do have fall/Halloween and winter/Christmas Iris containers.

I selected "No, never".

I do have themed products and christmas / Halloween each have their own storage solutions (everything else is by color or type of product). I do that more because I use those supplies to make cards. For scrapbooking theme/event/holidays I tend use anything and everything. My brain doesn't go to subject matter when I begin a layout, it starts with the colors. I also have a habit of not using "new" stuff and always trying to use up the old. So if I have a scrap that works with the colors, even if the theme doesn't match up I will still use it.

I will say that I'm noticing I have a lot of random one-off embellishments that are event/activity specific that came in Pinkfresh collections. Stuff like museum, library, puzzles, wine, baking/cooking, etc. that I know won't ever get used unless I make an effort to pair them with themed photos. So I have started doing that. Maybe I should change my answer to "Yes, sometimes"...

Sometimes, mostly birthdays and Christmas and travel, but otherwise no.

I'm not sure I understand the question properly, so I might not have answered accurately. 

Pretty much all of my scrapbooking purchases are kits. I buy based on whether I like the colours and the papers and elements in the kit. I rarely go looking for a specific themed kit to scrap birthday or Christmas pages, for example. If I'm scrapping those photos I just use whatever kits I already have. 

I guess I do organise by theme. I will add tags to my some of my digital kits. The categories I use are: birthday, Christmas, summer/beach, winter, Easter, baby. So if I am doing a beach layout, I click on the summer/beach tag and all of the tagged kits are shown.

I am a sometimes-er. I sort by theme for three subjects. Military, Disney, and Christmas.

I organize by theme. I don't scrap strictly by theme.

I'm probably 75% theme, 25% not.

Most of my stuff is sorted by theme. I have every line or kit in it's own bag and the bags are sorted by theme- all of the birthday ones together, Christmas, etc.

I recently did a couple teacher photo layouts from when I was much younger and I definitely didn't do those by theme. I was not about to put an apple on them. I hate the apple for teacher thing so much.
