I scrap at least once a month at the crop I run. I have tried juggling work, family and personal time so that I can do this more often but things do tend to get in the way. I have just taken part in a very calm cybercrop on a private forum and I was scrapping every day for a week and it was just lovely.
I have lots of plans for scrapping this weekend when we go away in our caravan and having two new magazines arrive this week I also have lots of inspiration.

A few times a month, but now that school is almost out for my girls and sports are over I am hoping that things will settle down and I can do it at least a few times a week.

I go through waves of scrapbooking a lot and then nothing. So one month I might make up towards 20 layouts and the next month 1 or 2. I would like to scrapbook at least one evening a week. But sometimes I am not feeling it or too busy, etc. I love going to monthly crops with friends. Because it is my set aside time to work on layouts.

I create everyday. I work on the Cocoa Daisy Design Team and love working with Tricia and the rest of the Daisy Divas and the Cocoa Daisy community every day. It keeps my day fulfilled and helps me find calm in my life.
Thanks for this wonderful opportunity Ali!

I try to scrapbook several times a week. I'd love to sit down and scrap daily but life gets in the way sometimes. At the end of day when I do have time to scrap, I'm usually too exhausted to do anything.

I don't have a set schedule. I was on a role recently. I was completing at least one layout a week. Generally, since I don't have long expanses of time, I start to work on a layout and leave it on my table for several days before it feels "finished". Hope to get back to it soon!

Now that I've gone digital I find it a lot easier to scrapbook every day! And now that I do it every day I find that it is easier to keep going rather than stop/start/stop. Paper scrapbooking is a whole other story! That usually depends on if I have a project for someone or I have a crop weekend. ;D I need to get that on a more regular schedule like digital! He he! Great giveaways as ALWAYS!!!

My creative energy seems to have an ebb and flow and the amount of time I spend on my papercrafting projects definitely corresponds to the level of my creative energy. When my energy is at a peak I might work on projects every day during the week. At other times I go weeks without even touching a piece of cardstock or patterned paper.

I have been in sort of a slump, acutally. I had to move all of my supplies from our open plan den into the basement- my 19 month old just couldnt leave them be. Now Im sprucing up the house and the yard for the season. I hope to find some inspiration again, soon. I'd love to get back to a page or two per weekend.

What a timely question. I have not scrapbooked since February. I am a single mom who works full time out of the home and I always put other things ahead of scrapbooking. I love it, but tend to do it in big spurts rather than a little each day. Honestly, I wish it were different because I know it would lower my overall stress if I could fit some creativity into each week, but I always put something else ahead of it. I even have a dedicated scrapbook space in my family room so I have NO excuses!! Maybe this little reminder will get me going! : )

It's pretty seasonal. A couple weekend trips a year. And a few times a week in the fall/winter. Couple times a month in the spring/summer.

When I scrap I find myself

In all honesty, once in agreat while. I have become what I said I would never be(pre-children)...a collector! I take the pictures, organize them, buy the paper, embellishments etc., but lack the time and space to be creative. With one child starting school in the fall, I hope to change that!

I scrap at least once a week. However, I suppose I scrap a lot more because I take time during my lunch to plan and prepare to scrap and isn't that part of scrapping? It isn't always putting things together that is scrapbooking for me - it's taking the photos and deciding which ones to use, buying supplies, scoping out the websites for ideas, reading the latest magazine... Between this and hockey, I live and breathe both.

I would love to be able to scrap every day; in reality I feel extremely lucky that I can do something at least every week.

I go in spurts, right now only about twice a month but sometimes I do a little every day. I guess it just depends on my schedule and mood.

Oh, LOVE the Express The Moment kit!!
Well, with a 7 month old and being pregnant again it's hit and miss for scrapbooking time .... but I sure am inspired more with all the wonderful photos my son provides me!

It varies, I do some craft a couple days a week. It isn't always scrapbooking and some weeks it is more others less. I go with the flow of my inspiration and my family.

I tend to scrap sporadically--I will scrap every day for 5 or 6 days and then take a 3 week break. A lot of depends on what other projects I am doing at the same time (like sewing or making cards)--I'm kind of a one thing at a time gal.
Thanks for the great site--always inspiring.

Even if I don't have much time to scrap on any given day, I like to look at my stuff and maybe think up a few ideas that I can do when time allows.

I had a scrapbooking hiatus for a while when my kids arrived and until they started sleeping predictably on most nights. Now, mostly thanks to Big Picture Scrapbooking, I am energized again about my hobby and spend a chunk of time, two hours or more, every other night or so doing some kind of scrapbooking or papercrafting. Online classes are a great way to jump start your creative interest. I also scrapbook here and there through my day, though I need to try to reign that in so I can get other work done. =]

I scrapbook nearly every day! Even if its just for a few minutes...and I'm always scrapbooking in my head!

I haven't been in the mood lately--been in a real creative funk for quite a while now. Maybe new product would pull me out of it!

I would love to be able to do it everyday but 2-3 times a week is the most I can manage. It usually 1 LO at a time.
