following on from how fast do you scrap...

[Britgirl]

... is the question; how many layouts do you make a month?
I do scrap fast, but even so, July was a bumper month for me
I made 44 layouts you can see them on here

[earlofoxford]

Wow, girl, you are burning up cyberspace! Go, Mel!

I made exactly half your number of pages -- 22.

[arimacias]

YAY for powerscrapping. i have no idea how many i have made but it has been bumped up since i fractured my foot. i USED to keep track...guess i could count them up on my blog.

[MIDA78466]

I don't keep track of how many I do but I know it is not 44! I wish I had the time to do 44.

[dugarner]

I haven't hardly opened Elements in July. Really, I think I've done 4 LOs. I'm having a really hard time. And added to that, I'm a really slow scrapper. I need a class on speed scrapping!

[Amson]

Sarah I would love to join you in a speed scrapping class as I am definitely a slow scrapper. Not sure how many layouts for me but probably around 10 I'd think. 44 is amazing!!!!

[LoriS]

I think i used to do about one a week... (i was a newbie in January, right?) I am always trying to learn more and Now I am really trying to do 2 to 3 layouts a week! It makes me happy... every comment on a page just gets me going... makes me feel like I'm doing something good! I do have to take care of a toddler and a 5 yr old.. so i feel like it's a good goal.
btw, i love it here!
Here's my gallery....

Oh woe is me, I dont think I did any in July-caught up with travel and a lit class! But, one more week and I will get a break-
Even though I didnt scrap in July, I think I must have taken close to 1500 photos!

[HeatherPrins]

I am probably close to that too, i make at least 1 a day i think

[echogirl]

Oh Mel it's a good thing I adore you because ouch I'm so jealous. Does the 20 pages I've done for the kid's preschool book (template..thank you Katie!) count because if they do I've done 29..otherwise 9.

[Aino]

Good grief Mel!!! 44!!!! You ARE speedy gonzales!!


I also scrap fast, but lately I have much less time for it. I think I average 2-2.5 a week - that would be 10-12 a month.

[tylertooo]

I could only hope I could come close to 44 in one month. I spent about a year with no layouts, but I am back, and did 9 in July - and I think that is a record for me. I tend to agonize over each and every page. Some pages can take days of changing elements, moving photos, modifying colors...

[Applechick]

Oh Man - 44!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WISH I had your energy or more importantly - your mojo Mel LOL!!
I'm a bit of a ditherer and sometimes I can spend a whole evening on a page then not like it and start again! I didn't manage one page during June as I was too busy with work stuff but July has been OK! - I've managed 9 pages in 15 days and that's good for me but it's back to work now so it'll be one and a bit pages a week if I'm lucky

You are prolific! A really GOOD month for me is getting about 12 pages done. I definitely tend to work things over too much. What really amazes me about you, Mel, is that you're doing 44 AWESOME pages in a month!!!!

[maureenreynolds]

It seems some people are able to combine quality WITH quantity, and you are one Mel.

I'm not sure if I did anything in July but play with some tag mini books for our last Italy trip and then tags for the Hawaii trip. When I'm home on a roll, it's about 4 or 6 a week. However, paper, inks and other fun bits of art journaling have taken more of my time lately.

[Britgirl]

Its not a competition Ladies just a wondering
I dont think I have more time than most....I dont work in an office, but I do have a photography business and four children, the house etc...... I think I just do this over most things - I dont watch TV etc etc. And I get to bed late And once I get going... I get going
I make a photo book once every two/three months, and thats when I love my layouts most; in book form with the family looking thro them.

[ValerieP]

I agree, I love seeing the pages done up in a book! Your pages are most wonderful so I imagine the books are too! I find that during the school year, I scrap in the evening and cant wait to put together my next photo book!

[digigrandma]

Mel and Anke and Linda always amaze me with the number of layouts they post in a month and they are all such beautiful pages. I can think of some others, too, like Elena, Jana Morton, Adyrane, AmyL, Aino, etc. etc. that I could add to the list. I going to stop with the names because I'm sure to leave someone off by mistake if I keep on.

In July I posted 18 pages and that is I think pretty close to my average each month. Even though I am retired and have more time than most of you to scrap, I am still pretty slow at putting a page together.

[Shannamay]

Even on school holidays, I'd be battling to get more than 4 or 5 done in a week - and during the school term it drops to 1 or 2. You must be incredibly fast at putting a page together, Mel - I reckon it takes me a couple of hours to finally be happy with each one. 44 WTG you!!

[anke]

Wow, that is a lot of pages Mel, awesome!!!!
I managed to get 33 done for the month, I wish I could work as fast as you do and your pages all look fabulous too!

[carollee]

Gosh I just counted, I did more than I thought with 19. I had no idea.

[Kayleigh]

Gosh you are a scrapping machine!! And you are such an inspiring scrapper with each of your masterpieces. I range from 15-25 a month. I usually do a couple pages a month that i don't post that i end up submitting. Great thread idea mel!

[deanie]

I am so slow!! I'd say 6-8 is my average for a month. I'd love to get speedier!

[Julie DeGuia]

Mel - you do scrap fast! I am always amazed at how many pages of yours I see pop up in the gallery! I think a good month for me would be around 12... posted here, and then sometimes maybe 4 more to submit to magazine calls. I am hoping to be a little more productive from September to December of this year as both kids will be in school all day! Still have to remember to clean the house though! :-)

[anxela]

1-2 a week, I think. How do you manage that speed? No wonder the DD gallery fills up so fast. LOL!

[Crystal]

how interesting this is! I didn't see the how fast do you scrap thread, but I go pretty fast. I probably average one a day...so 30-35 a month maybe? I don't do a page everyday but some days I will do 3 or 4

Having a hard time? You OK, Sarah? {Hugs}

[sal4gal]

I am at a stand still ! We have only sons and I have thousands of boy pages. Yippy, we just got a little pink blessing. I have wanted to scrap pink for years and here is my chance to scrap my granddaughter. I don't even know where to start, because I have dreamed about this opportunity for so long, I am just like Scarlett O'Hara, I will worry about this tomorrow : )

[Britgirl]

oh congrats on the girl a chance for flowers on your pages

Sarah- I also hope youre okay?
