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

Not as often as I would like, but I do check my scrapbooking blogs every day, which I love.

I scrap about once every three months, how sad is that. I am going to change that very soon. My crafting area will be moving around a bit so I will have more of a chance to work on my books.

I try to scrapbook every night even if it is just for a little while. It is my way of winding down and relaxing after working all day. How often do I think about scrapbooking? 24/7

Lately I have been trying to scrapbook almost everyday. It calms me and I love it so I have been trying to make it a priority.

Unfortunately I don't get to scrap as often as I'd like. I try to scrap whenever I get a few minutes. If I can't, then I have my nose in a scrapbook magazine. Maybe when I retire.......ahhhh.

I have not scrapbooked in such a long time, as I over committed myself with volunteering at the kids school and churhc, but I am itching to get back to it, and some new goodies would give me just the inspiration to get back into the studio and get working!

I try to sit down to have a long scapbooking session once a week, but it's turned into twice a month, lately. Can't wait for summer so I'll have a little more free time!(Plus, with the wedding coming up, I really want to get some pages done in advance, so I can just add the pictures and journaling in after.)

Not as much time as I'd like. I count scrapbooking time when I'm creating, whereas my husband counts blog reading, magazine and book reading, workshop/class prep, all of that. So he says I scrapbook 20-30 hours a week, and I think it's more like 6 or so! Hours that is!

I scrap about once a week. Usually Friday nite. Nice way to unwind after a crazy work week.

As a full time working Mom, I do not get to scrapbook as often as I would like. I converted to mostly digital, and suffered through the huge Adobe Photoshop learning curve, but ABSOLUTELY love it. I can do things with Photoshop that I could never have done with paper - and everything is easily modified for both of my children to have unique pages. The main thing I focus on is - capturing the information now. The thoughts, the photos, the routine, I write in a journal that I carry in my purse. When one of my children says something that makes me laugh, I write it down immediately. With the journal and pen near by, I'm always capturing. When I get time, I create pages, but I'm not missing the moments because I have the photos and the journal to record it as it happens. I tell myself keeping the information is the most important part, and the pages will come.

I try to scrapbook at least once a weekend. That's the only opportunity I have since I work full time and have children. If I'm lucky, inspiration will hit me twice and I'll get two days in. I try to set an hour or two aside to get some layouts done. If I have a plan I usually can whip out three pages in that one hour sitting.

I scrapbook anywhere from every 2 weeks to every other day. Depends on what other projects I have going on and my creative mojo! Definitely shoot for an hour or two/week. Thanks for the giveaways!

As a school administrator, part time Graduate student, wife and mother of a 4 yo with Autism, I don't get to spend near enough time with my creative passions - music, drama, and I'm a wanna-be scrapbooker. I get to do Music about 2 times a month, drama once every 2-3 years, Scrapbooking is limited to about once every three months.
Pretty sad- most of my me time is spent studying! Good thing I'm passionate about learning new things. I read your blog regularly to keep me inspired about scrapbooking/photography when I finally have time to make time. :)

Daily if my mojo allows...or as little as monthly if not!

I try to do something everyday...whether it's putting something together or just looking through pictures and supplies to gather ideas.

I scrapbook about twice a month, but I love to read about my hobby in books and magazines, and organize my items. Though I don't have a lot of time right now, I know that each page I get done is another bit of history recorded for my family's history book.

Wow, what a great lot of prizes. I have my computer in my scrapstudio and I COULD scrapbook a bit every evening. However, in reality I probably do it once a month. With 2 kids and a full-time job, I just don't have time for more.

Well, good question. I'm a high school teacher, and some days are just easier than others. (I should be grading tests even now...) That said, I probably average about 6 hours a week. Not all of that time is spent in page production as I also make quite a few cards.

Hi Ali! I try to SB at least 3 times per week. I have a very active 1 year old and a baby on the way. So these days I usually sleep in my spare time. Thanks for such a fun giveaway! Hugs.

I get to scrapbook about once a week usually while my fiance is staying late at school or the occasional weekend at home.

I try to do something everyday! Sometimes not so good at that! But I try.

I try to spend at least 30 min/day doing something for me - whether that be sewing, scrapbooking, editing photos, knitting, painting - some days it ends up being more, most days, less but I at least make the attempt every single day.

With 4 kids, a husband and a full time job I only get bits and pieces each week to scrapbook. However, our ladies group at church has started having a crop 2 Saturdays a month. That helps

What great Wednesday giveaways! I hope I win!
In March and April I was a scrapping fool! I was scrapping practically 5 days a week. Forget laundry, cleaning, cooking, etc. I wanted to scrap. Then I had to come back to earth so I would say once or twice a week lately. I do some digiscrapping so I can take my laptop with me and play just about anywhere. I just want to be caught up so i can some different more personal stuff - just for me. Theraputic cropping.

Not as often as I like, so I do a little bit everyday--pick out photos, make a sketch, pick out embellishments, write some journaling, ANYTHING to feel like I've done something. Otherwise, I'd never get any of it done, and I love to do it.
