I try to work on something related to scrapbooking a couple days a week. Some weeks I spend an hour or so every day. I have definitely increased my scrapping time since I have become a SAHM. Before there just wasn't enough time in the day. Now I can scrap while my little ones play and that has really helped me out.

I'm fitting in moments here and there as a WAHM who homeschools teenagers I've become miserly and now do some scrap preparation while listening to them read, or during dvd lecture supervision.
So a couple of times a week for a few minutes at a time, then one day a month for an all day crop to ensure I have some time.

In a good month, 2 or 3 times. Months like this one...maybe once!

I try to scrapbook every day, but I manage to do something at least 5 times a week. It keeps me sane.

It goes in waves. I try to get in 2x/month right now. I am working full time as the manager of a trauma unit, getting my masters degree, and pregnant with a very surprise 4th baby. I am tremendously blessed and I love the time away to scrapbook which always reminds me of the blessings that I am surrounded with. Scrapbooking allows me to keep things in perspective. Thanks for the opportunities for the give-aways. Very kind.

I used to scrapbook everyday - but now that I have a newborn (5 weeks old) and two other little ones to take care of as well, I have been having a harder time 'finding the time'. I'm excited to start on Kate's album, so I know I must find the time soon! I hope to get back into the swing of things soon!!!

Reality is that right now I touch it about once a week. For awhile, I tried to do something/anything scrapbook related every day, but it wasn't realistic for my current lifestyle and it became frustrating. Now, I just do it when the mood strikes.

I think about scrapbooking everyday and work on layouts whenever I can :) These days I am trying to balance work, family and a new puppy.

Not often enough...lol. I would say lately I am using my scrapbook stuff for cards, tags, etc. Need to carve out more time for lay-outs!! Thanks for the chance to win today!

I would say I actually sit down and "scrapbook" about once a month... although I do little bits and pieces here and there along the way (collecting items, jotting down notes, getting photos printed, taking specific photos with pages in mind, etc.). So maybe I AM scrapbooking every day :-)

With 14 month old twin daughters, I definitely don't get to scrapbook as much as I'd like to...especially since I have SO MUCH to document with the babies! But I usually get to sit down at least once a week for an hour to complete 1-2 layouts. BTW, love love love the giveaways today!

I try to do something scrapbook related everyday, doesn't always work out that way, but I try. Weather it's jotting down different thoughts, feelings, or ideas, to organizing/printing photos, or getting right down to it and scrapping!!

I try to scrapbook a little bit each week. Sometimes it's just one or two pages per week; other times it might be a few pages every night. Even just going through my photos and deciding which ones to use helps me feel creative, because it starts the thought process going.

My scrapbooking is sporadic at best. Sometimes twice in one week and then maybe two months of nothing. Time is the issue. Lots of layouts in my head - executing them is anothe issue entirely.

I used to scrap all of the time (multiple times a week). Now that I have small children I usually only scrapbook when I go to a crop. I'm still involved in something creative every day though. Drawing, sewing, or crafting.

I was about to say that I only scrapbook a few times a year; however, I am doing the Project 365 this year so I am now VERY happy to say I scrapbook a little bit everyday! Thanks for the reminder! I think it's easy to get wrapped up in what scrapping "should" be instead all of all the things it can be. Thanks for another beautiful giveaway!

I do something creative almost every day. Right now, I'm making a word album (NANA) for my mother-in-law's Mother's Day present. Prior to that, I was working on monogrammed note cards. Always doing something busy and creative with my hands!

I need those stamps! They are awesome!
I scrapbook not as often as I want to. Maybe 2 or 3 times a month.

I do it as often as I can. I try to do something creative every day... even if its just cooking a new meal, or re-arranging bits and baubles around the house. It helps me feel at peace.

Not nearly enough! With two little ones, it's hard to find the time to actually sit down and scrap, but I take lots of pictures and write down the things the kids say and do.

I try and scrapbook at least once or twice a week for two hours when my kids are in school. I have been busy working and painting my house and haven't found time in the last 3 weeks and I really miss it!

To be honest I just finished a layout (title) the other day but before that I don't think I have made a scrapbook page layout for myself in 4 months. I am hoping that is changing this next week. I have been making cards, mother's day gifts, teacher appreciation gift and also altering a book for someone else. So still playing with paper. :-)

I only scrap in fits and starts, I am much better about making cards. It really helps to have a separate area set up where you can work when the mood strikes you! I sectioned off a corner of our bedroom, and I love having my own little space.

This varies so much week to week. Sometimes I can sneak into my room a couple of times during the week, sometimes I'm lucky to get in there once. I take the opportunity to make notes and observations often so that when I do have the time, I also feel inspired.
