i ended up going with kits i know i have photos for, since my collection is small and i have a big backlog of photos to scrap i was able to justify buying heaps of kits that i love - this is less than half but these are my faves...
For photos of my boys when they were little, especially the younger one who was always off on an adventure
because i love the colours and i have heaps of happy cheerful photos of my girls
These templates because they're interesting and i'm not that good at creating my own shapes for clipping
Because my daughter is in the choir and i take photos at every recital
Because my daughter likes to take a photo of every cake she bakes lol

Because of the colours and the paper prints
both of these because we live in australia and summer lasts for 11 months
Because i love the colours of the flowers and so i can scrap all those photos of the kids just hanging out doing nothing exciting but special to us
Because my dad makes model train layouts = heaps of photo opportunities

Because i love the sparkles and the message
Because every year when spring comes around we visit all the beautiful public gardens in our city and take soooooo many photos (seriously i could buy 100 spring kits and always have something to use them for)
Because when my youngest was a little baby clothes with strawberries on them were "in" and i loved them so much i always snapped a photo of her wearing them

I love what i've got

i've already been scrapping heaps
