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

I try to do something creative every day. I have a lot of crafty hobbies, stamping, sewing, scrapbooking, photography...so I try to make time for at least one of those every day. It keeps me sane!

Hard question, it varies so much! In my head, I scrapbook every day - I see photo opportunities (and often actually take the photos), I sometimes think in journaling, and I rearrange my supplies frequently...! I tend to produce up to 5 LOs and a mini-book or two each month. The physical scrapping tends to happen busily for a few days/a week then rest for a while.

Right now, I probably only sit down and produce pages a few times a year. I plan and journal all the time. I've been off the wagon, but inspired to get back on after my son pulled out his scrapbooks last weekend and was all excited looking through them. Seeing how much he loved him reminded me why it's worth it to make the time even for very simple pages.

I try to scrapbook every weekend. During the week, I just don't get the chance - so...it has to wait until Sat./Sun. Sometimes, it happens, sometimes, it doesn't...
Great giveaways!

I think about it quite often - but I actually sit down and do some scrapbooking probably once a month! It starts to get overwhelming how far behind I am - so that further frustrates me as well!
Great giveaways! Thanks!!

At least once a month at a regular crop in a local fire hall I attend with a group of friends. While I have a dedicated scrapbook room, part of the fun for me is the social aspect, and with a busy schedule, I don't use it too often, unless there's a "story" I'm excited to tell.

I only get to scrap on the weekends and maybe once during the week but does it count that i think about what I want scrap all the time.

i mainly scrapbook on the weekends, Sunday's are always best but if i can get 20 minutes here and there I will do it at night, close to bedtime.

Good Morning Everyone!
I usually do something everyday pertaining to scrapbooking. With the business of "Just Daily" life, even if I don't get items on paper, if I take picture, make notes about the days happenings for journaling, get sketches in my notebook,or organize the scrapping room, I feel like I am scrapbooking. All of these things bundled together are scrapbooking to me.
Hope everyone has a blessed day!

I get to scrap or craft about three times a week. I need to make the time in order to do it. I have to choose it over other things, tv, reading, cleaning, etc. If I don't make it a priority, I don't do it.

What a fun give away!
I am very lucky to be able to scrap every day now! I make it part of my routine. Since school, I haven't been able to scrap AT ALL... so now that it's finally over with for the summer, I can get back into my groove!

Hi Ali,
I scrap about four times a week..mostly after work. I'm sort of addicted to it so I try to do a bit each time..taking a break from scrapping seems tough at this moment! :)

i'd LIKE to be able to do it every waking moment of every day! sadly though, i can only get in a couple of hours on the weekend - after chores, grocery shopping, soccer games and tending to children! oh well, good or bad, one day this will pass and i will have all the time in the world.

I spend about 3-4 hours during the week scrapbooking. I love that SStacy Julian gave us permission to call editing photos scrapbooking because it is all part of the process!! Thanks for the awesome giveaways, Ali. You never disappoint.

I scrapbook every night, at least 4 hours each time. No distractions, with my music and my stash as my company.
But in the real world, I try to put aside about 2 hours each weekend. Distractions are a given...

this is the first time I've ever tried to win anything online, but those season stamps are amazing and I'd really love to have them. I am an avid fan of yours, Ali, and have made many things using your inspiring ideas. Everyone always says my scrapbooking is awesome and I tell them I owe it all to you, not only for the ideas, but for the enthusiasm and encouragement as well. You have made me see scrapping as a privilege and a way to leave a legacy for my family. Thanks and keep up the wonderful blog. Best wishes.

Lately, I have been scrapping almost every day -- I get on scrapping kicks where I just want to do it all the time! I am fornutante enough to have my own scrap space, so I can start a project, walk away, return for 15 minutes or so, etc.

I do something creative everyday, most days. I find that scrapbooking a page can be a process, preparing the page, sketching, picking the photos, having them printed, assembling the page...so sometimes I may only get 2 or 3 pages done. But I try everyday, its my escape & a great way to end the day!

I haven't scrapped in a while... I kind of got distracted by every else around me. I wrote on my to-do list yesterday to work on my scrapbook project today... so maybe i should open Phototshop right now and get to it.

I haven't really started scrapbooking yet – I journal whenever something comes to my mind and have started to jot down some memory snippets, too. These days, I try to find some time to knit in the evening hours, as it is just such a peaceful way to relax and let the day go.

I scrap in bunches, mostly on weekends. Some weekends I'll be really inspired and spend several hours at it, others just a few minutes. Then several weeks can go by when I do no scrapbooking at all. I have to really be in the mood to get anything done and also to like what I create.

I seem to be scrapbooking about 2 or 3 times a month...last month I was doing it non stop because I was making a wedding album for my sister..so fun! So far in May...nothing yet! LOL but I am hoping to drag out the supplies and the mojo today in fact!!
smiles,

I do some form of scrapboking every day - only if its for a few minutes. Now I don't finish a layout every day (I wish!) but I work on little bits and pieces every day. I usually start something after I've put the kids down to sleep like choose pictures and pick out some paper. And then I'm done for that day. The next day I'll choose some embellishments. Another day I will do the journaling. I break it up because I just don't have hours at a time to scrap (I'm a working mom). But I also like all this little bit of scrapping here and there because it helps keep me from being overwhelmed.

not nearly enough!!! maybe one or twice a month currently.

I think about it a lot all through the day... the reality is I am lucky to get to my scrap room once or twice a week for and hour or so. That's on a good week. It is not enough time.
