Wednesday Sponsor Giveaways: Express The Moment, aCloset.com, & Catslife Press

right now I am scrapping every day beacause I'm participating in Lain's LOAD Challenge. Usually I don't get to that often.

I spend a lot of time checking things out online and a lot of time taking photographs of my children, probably a couple hundred photos a week. Don't spend enough time getting them scrapped and into albums though. Wish that part came easier for me.

I try to scrapbook every day--even if it is just sorting pictures. I love to be creative as much as time allows.
Wonderful giveaway!

Not often enough in real life, but I 'create" all sorts of things while I'm dreaming....

I used to scrapbook a couple a days a week, but now with a new baby in the house, that is very difficult. Ali, i don't know how you do everything!! There is so much projects and baby things i want to do!! But where to find the time???

I photoshop/take photos almost daily ~ that's one way I feel I get to be creative ~ capturing moments. Actual scrapbooking time is probably once or twice a month though -- I need to take more time for this!

well for me it really depends on what else is going on, but i try to do something crafty/artsy once a week. it's good for my soul.

I don't get to scrapbook as often as I like and that's my fault because right now I am so disorganized. I probably do more 'thinking' about scrapbooking than actually scrapbooking. It's depressing. I always go to 12 hour crops when they are near me because then I can really get some stuff done!! So, that's a few times a year. :-( Sadly, I NEED to get organized!!!

Well, it depends. If I'm on a creative roll I'll scrapbook nightly for hours and hours. But when I'm in a funk then I may create a page or two a month.

With 2 little boys I don't have
With 2 little boys, I don't have a lot of time to devote to scrapbooking, so I carve out little chunks of time wherever I can. Usually after the kids go to bed, if I'm not to tired myself, I'll try to eek out an hour or of creative time. I always feel better after I do that for myself!
Great giveaway!

If you can call writing a daily calendar/journal scrapbooking, then I do it 2-3 times a week. Actually scrapbooking & creating a complete page? That's been several years now... I'm currently (on & off) reclaiming my scrap area, digging it out from piles that have accumulated, but that got put on hold while I rebuilt my website. Thanks for this latest opportunity Ali!

With a 3 year old and a 4 month old, I don't get to scrapbook that often. In fact, my last page (in paper) was probably done 2 months ago, and it was for the grandparents' albums (not even to keep and enjoy myself). But I've just started experimenting with digi-scrapping, which I probably get to play with once or twice a week. It's much easier to open the program on the computer than it is to haul all the paper stuff out (especially since I lost my craft room to baby!).

I have two children under the age of 5 so I don't get to scrapbook as often as I would like. I do try to add something to my inspiration journal every day though.

Congrats on such a fabulous turn out to raise $ for Autism Awareness!
To answer your question...
I try to do something creative each week. With our busy lives, I find that slowing down long enough to let my brain think creatively and freely is a stress reliever and something I find genuine joy in. When done with friends, it's even better. :) We get together once a month for group crops/creating time.
:) happy day to you and yours!

I've made it a point to go to a crop at least once a month because that's the only time I get anything done

I try to scrapbook 3-4 days a week. Sometimes it is more, somtimes it is less. I would LOVE to scrapbook every day. I think about quitting my parttime job so I'll have more time to scrapbook, but then I wouldn't have as mush $ to scrapbook! I LOVE Cat's Life stamps that you introduced me to. I use them on nearly every layout for journaling spots. I want those seasons stamps! Carol G

I never get to scrapbook enough. I have two preschoolers who keep me hopping! I manage to squeeze in a card or two every couple of weeks. I do the bulk of my scrapbooking at a monthly crop I attend at my church.

WHENEVER I CAN!!! which is not much these days....

I get to scrapbook almost every night for about an hour when softball or soccer season are not in full swing, when they are, maybe a few hours a week.

During lunchtime at work. I have a box (or two) of supplies in my storage closet, among the boxes of letterhead and manila envelopes. With a four-year-old, swim lessons, a full time job, etc., I can't do much at home unless I stay up really late, so I do a little bit during my lunch breaks. I got some co-workers hooked so we eat our lunch, chit chat and scrapbook. It's hard to put it all away and go back to my desk though!
