I scrap my kids. I go to crops with 150-200 people. A majority of them scrap kids or grandkids. I think that is why companies try to cater to kid lines. I also see a fair amount of people scrapping vacations. It is frustrating not to find what you want. I generally won't buy a line with pink. I scrap boys and they don't like pink just a little less than I don't like pink. Deep pink is fine in small amounts. I also think a lot of scrappers get hooked when they have a baby. That's how I got hooked. My oldest is now 18 and I've definitely changed since the old hot off the press baby papers! But for all these years, kids are what kept me scrapping. Now that I'm entering the "next phase" of life, I'm finding that my own inner child is coming out to play, hence the unicorn love. Not a fan of unicorns as much as sloths. Ha. I found socks of sloths with sunglasses and $ gold chains on them. Thought I had hit the sock jackpot.

Every now and then I will scrap about my nieces/nephew or even pics of me as a child. But most of the time it's about me.

I only scrap adults for the most part.
I haven't bought new supplies or a new collection in ages. Most of my supplies are basics. Simple patterns like stripes, dots, stars and florals. I love B sides. Really simple embellishments like stars, hearts, wood veneer and enamel dots.
My more "themey" stuff comes from stamps or stickers.

Occasionally I scrap my nieces/nephews, but not much. My main scrapping is vacations (beach) & cats with occasional daily life/house/one-day excursions thrown in. There are just DH, me & the three cats unless we're doing something with extended family.
I am drawn to Kaisercraft, Carta Bella, Echo Park, Authentique, Fancy Pants, Jillibean Soup styles for the most part. I also find that I like many of the DCWV & Recollections paper pads. Hoping My Mind's Eye gets back into releasing collections as they were my main go-to manufacturer before they backed off scrap collections. I'd say the American Crafts brands have very little that I can use between the colors and the icons they include.

No kids here. I scrap for myself, and my photo/story subjects are mostly me, my pets, my travels, and everyday/around the house stuff. I scrap work stuff sometimes too. I wouldn’t personally use an abundance of mermaids, unicorns and a lot of the other motifs that are out right now, but I know several twenty-something crafty (not scrappers) people who like and use those things. I’m primarily a classic pattern and b-side scrapper.

Most of my scrapbooking is travel these days. My children are adults and there are no grandchildren yet. Cute just isn't on my radar. That said, I'd like more variety in travel lines. I don't need planes or other forms of transportation on every page. I want basic patterns in deep, saturated, not primary colors that look good with photos of palaces and ruins and old churches.
