Duplicating pages

Someone recently asked, because I make albums for our four kids as well as one for us, if I make a lot of duplicate pages. The answer? not really. Once a year we do a Christmas card photo shoot, and for those pages I usually do an assembly line deal. Pick a style I like and make four in 8 1/2 x 11. It is almost as fast as making one page. For example, each child has this page in their albums:

But for most of the other pictures I make them all different pages. I may use the same paper line (sometimes, but not always) like I did with one of yesterdays topics. I'd purchased the MME Miss Caroline line knowing I had pages to make for each child from our state fair trip in 1996. Though I used the same line for all the pages, each one was done differently because I used different pictures for each child's book. Here is one of those:

And really, I'm OK with that. Because I only rarely scrap the same exact photos or use the same exact product it doesn't get boring to create. Each child has a different experience at the same event and THAT is what I focus on.
