Every chance I get. I am making a scrap room right now so I can scrap at home whenever I feel like it without having to lug everything out.

I try to scrap at least once a week but if I had the time I would do it more than once a week. Wish I could do it everyday though. :0

Scrapbooking ... what's that?!?! :)
Since opening my Etsy store my scrapbooking time seems to be eaten up by sewing time. But that's okay, that is where my passion is and I know I will return to scrapbooking. I'd say I try to grab at least 30 minutes of sewing a day ... some days it's more like 3-4 hours, it all depends on my motivation, goals/deadlines, household happenings, etc

I've been averaging around 2 days a week, but I wish it was every day. I'm in the middle of a scrapbook project that I love!

Just recently, my eyes have been opened to a very sweet stage in life. My five year old daughter LOVES to be creative, so now, after her little brothers go to bed, she and I are able to go in my studio and "play" for 30 minutes or so. I don't get pages complete in one 30 minute session but I am always able to work on something and scratch that itch to create.

I usually scrapbook on Friday nights after my 1 and 2 year old are tucked into bed. It's the perfect time! Sleepy house, no work the next day and a diet coke!

Wow, these are great prizes. I really love the kit. If I scrapbook once a week, that's a good week. But I think about scrapbooking every day, and plan projects in my head even on days when I don't find time to craft.

I wasnt able to scrapbook for about 8 months because we were moving around often and all of my art stuff was in storage .It really saddened me. it was my true escape. And freedom and self expression. But now its been about a month and we have found a nice place to call home and i now have a craft area...sooooo-i have been able to get crafty at least twice a week! It feels soooooo goood. I have to admit..i do struggle from time to time for inspiration b/c it has been so long..But i find inspiration in others (like your beautiful blog) to lift my spirits and keep going.Thank you for that.

I scrap in streaks, if it been a time period with lots of photo "ops " I will work until my shoulders ache and my family begs me to get up and cook for them, I am in a dry spell right now and have even forgot my camera at some really special family events..gasp!! I need some inspiration and plan to try some of Ali's remedies for not feeling artful.
Really excited for new Cats Life stamps!!

I try to do something scrapbook related everyday. It's not always working on pages. It's taking pictures, writing and organizing supplies. I do lots of hybrid scraping so I often do 10 minutes here or there on the computer.It's one of the things I love most about digital scrapbooking. I can leave my layout and come back to it without having to worry about the kids getting into my supplies. It really makes scrapbooking more doable on a daily basis.

I would love to scrap every day but it doesn't always work out that way. But now that I have my own little designated craft corner, I can do it more often since I don't have to stop what I'm doing and clean up for dinner or whatever. I love it.

Not as often as I would like. I sb mainly when my mood or inspiration strikes, but I usually feel behind. Trying to get over that feeling.

Now that I have a scrap room I can pretty much sneak in some time everyday. It really helps to destress me from the day & gives me some me time. I think it's important for everyone to spend some time each day doing whatever it is that makes their hearts sing....

Lately, I haven't been scrapbooking all that much, but hopefully once my desk is set up in my new scrapbooking room pages and projects will be flying past that desk. Right now it seems to be hit and miss from 2-6 hours per month.

Hi Ali! I scrapbook at least once a week... I'm having hard time with finding inspiration and I was so happy you put up that blog about creative blocks. It's kicked started some ideas already... Thanks!

Less than I prefer. My goal is once a week and that is with inspiration reading, looking and thinking about it. I would love to scrap my some time to really scrap a little more.

Lately since my scrap room is torn apart and being reorganized I have not been able to scrap much and it's making me crazy. When I can get creative it's usually 2 weekends a month. I am very project oriented rather than an every week consistant scrapper. I think that's the reason why I love making mini albums. I can actually complete them in a short amount of time.

Since my youngest started school full time a couple of weeks ago, I've been trying to do something scrapbooking related every day. Sometimes, I only get as far as picking out photos and sometimes I get to do some actual cutting and sticking!
