Default More decisions to make

Because I now want to buy some of Cindy's templates I am starting to second guess myself on the kits I am buying mainly because they are for a vacation that hasn't happened yet - I am going away from 6/25-6/29. These I don't feel are usually my style (I don't scrap Males so am not sure I would find enough to use these kits later ) so I am not sure if I should get them now or wait until next month even though I wont have SR.

99% definite as I have no travel kits


Not sure


If you were in my situation of generally scrapping girly things only would you get the two other kits while I have SR meaning I only pay 10-20% more with exchange or wait til next month once I have the photos and pay 40-50% more with exchange.

I personally would wait because you don't know if those kits will be the right ones when you have the photos.

Luckily I've seen enough photos of the area that I think I am pretty safe but part of me thinks I should maybe wait - I don't mind if it is a cheap kit that doesnt work out but a more expensive kit I would be a bit more annoyed.

I love the kit, C'est La Via! It is usable even if you don't have a boy to scrap!

I also have the kit, Away we Go. I haven't used it yet but I think it is a perfect traveling kit. Of course KCB just came out with a cute one too.

I think C'est La Vie is pretty versatile. I scrapped pictures from a big local holiday with it, totally not boy centered.

Or, I know it's totally not a SSD way of thinking, lol, but you COULD just wait until you NEED one of the kits to buy them...

I think you would like using C'est La Vie also. I would get it now.

Jennifer, I'm not sure I understand the girly problem. I looked into your gallery and can't see much typical pink/girly layouts. And I always say: Never let the title confuse you. I scrap mostly adults and have several LOs done with "boyish" kits.

And I think all of the ones you listed will be pretty neutral and versatile. Definitely will work for all type of photos. I would try to narrow it down to one extra kit. Maybe you can check the elements and see if there are things you tend to use a lot.

I love both of those Zoe kits, but it sounds like you might get more use out of C'est La Vie! Great choices!

Don't let the name fool you: That's My Boy is SO not just for boy layouts. It's become one of my absolute fave Zoe kits. The pattern papers and colors in it are so versatile. I used it to scrap my DH but I also used it for some of my P365 layouts and I LOVED how well it worked with everyday-type photos. Seriously, loved.

So if it were me, I would get Away We Go and That's My Boy over C'est La Vie. They're all amazing kits though since you can never really go wrong with a Zoe kit.

I would go ahead and get them now. They'll be cheaper for you now anyway. I have the first one and I haven't used it but I love looking at it. The other two I can see as very versatile. I think they could be used for all kinds of layouts and great additions to your stash.

Well lately I have been scrapping more travel type layouts & events but I very rarely scrap males as there is only 1 out of 6 in my family.

That's what I am leaning towards - I'm just not quite sure whether I would get quite enough use out of C'est La Vie to justify it right now.

I'd get them now! I was previously a paper scrapbooker and my cousin got me started on the digital thing about 12-18 months ago. In the meantime, I think I've done more shopping than scrapbooking - however, now that I have some time to scrapbook more, I'm finding that I'm using a lot of the kits I bought before. I have 2 boys, but I find that it's a nice change to use some different colors every once in a while, so if you like the colors, I wouldn't let the fact that they are "boy" kits stop you.
