I do not get to scrapbook as often as I'd like. I'd like to be able to do a bit everyday but it usually works out to maybe once a month. I seem to go in spurts where I'll have a week of days where I make time to scrapbook and then I could go two whole months without touching a thing. I find I am more motivated and disciplined when I have a project or deadline.

I usually try to disappear into my spare bedroom to scrap current photos/activities maybe once or twice a week for 30 minutes at a time. If I'm working on a mini book or struggling with a particular lo, I'll try to steal a few moments here and there to get back to my project, especially when that "Aha!" moment strikes - as long as it's not when DWTS is on. :-)

I WANT to scrapbook more than the once a week that I do. I get so busy and cardmaking is my # 1 passion. I have piles of pictures to work with but sometimes I get so overwelmed...

I go in spurts... I scrapbook daily, and then I might scrap once in a week, and then other times it might be months.

Hi Ali,
I started a Project 365 on my birthday, so I work on that 2-3x a week. I try to scrapbook 2-3 hours each weekend so that I can get my creative juices flowing and get to my "happy place". :)I have some fun ideas in store for my time this weekend!!

no where close to what I want to--I organize a scrapbook meetup group and all the crops I have are spent getting food together and prizes out--I hardly get a page out--
but I would have to say I 'truly' scrapbook once per month at a crop I don't host--I am going next weekend to a retreat (let the pages flow)

It really depends on what is going on in life, but I try to scrapbook a couple of times a week

I am trying to scrapbook at least 1-2 a week. If I am in the middle of a project, I will sometimes scrap 3-4 times a week. In addition, I try to get together at least once a month to scrap with friends.

I scrap probably 2 or 3 times a week for an hour or 2, depending on what life is handing out at the moment. Thanks for the great prizes, Ali!

I haven't had time since last summer but I graduate in 6 weeks and I'm looking forward to getting back into it.
I love those CatsLife Press stamps, btw.

I must be honest and say that I have not been a faithful scrapbooker. After my scrapbooking laid dormant for several years, I recently got back into it. However, I am enjoying it again. I try not to put pressure on myself to complete layouts in a given amount of time. As soon as it starts becoming more of a chore than a fun, creative outlet, I give myself a break (loved your post about breaking out of a creative rut-I actually cleaned my whole apartment lol!). And so far, this is working for me and while I only finish on average two pages a week, I figure it's more than what I was doing and why do I have to be in such a hurry anyway. :)

It's funny you ask. I have just decided that if you don't use your talents you lose them....SO about two years ago I use to craft daily. I use to spend hours in my craft room..just doing cute projects..then i started working for a scrapbook store..and went to NEVER crafting for fun. Then we moved..and it brings me here..I am in the process of printing 800 photos and then just spending each day at least two hours, creating..thanks for the chance!

I'm fortunate to have my own dedicated space, so I can leave my scrap stuff out and come back to it when I have a few minutes to spare. So, I probably scrap 5 days a week, but in 10 minute spurts that might total 90 minutes a week. It's enough for now, plenty of time to get 'caught up' when the kids are grown...

Well, I got a lot of scrapbooking in last weekend, but I work on something creative almost every day. I'm an artist, but I also love to scrapbook and sew, so if I'm not drawing or painting, I'm usually messing with photos or fabric!

i try to do domething at least once a week; some times 2 weeks can pass with out scrapbooking. I need to be more diligent, because i love it and it is so relaxing!

I like to be able to get into my scrap space at least once a week. Doesn't always happen since someone is living in my space but I try!!

If you count taking pictures, I work on it everyday. If you mean actually sitting down and creating, maybe once a month. But I try to do little things that get me ready for scrapbooking. i journal a little everyday, i might sketch a layout when I've got five minutes, or i look through magazines for inspiration. I've learned to just focus realistically at what can be done in ten minute intervals. I'm not going to get a layout done everyday, and that's okay. I'm spending my time living and not looking through paper.

I'm in the process of getting back into scrapbooking after having baby #4 a month ago. In the meantime I've been making cards...something I can finish in a few minutes'...every other day or so. Here's hoping I'll be able to find more time and energy to do something I love!

I am fairly new to scrapbooking, and I am much more likely to make cards and other small things than a whole scrapbook. I constantly take pictures and enjoy that.

I scrapbook whenever I get a free moment. Between work and school, and not to mention, taking care of the hubby, I never have as much time to devote to my scrapbooking as I like to. I do love photography though, and we recently undertook a big veggie garden project this Spring, and with that, coinciding with my taking Biology this semester (Finals next week!), I'm learning a lot; and of course, taking pics of the garden's progress, in which I hope to turn them all into not only a bountiful harvest, but a whole entire album about veggie gardening. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
