How Many Pages a Month...

I am all over the place, but mainly I scrap memories.

 

When I first started digi-scrapping I was taking part of a yearly page challenge at another scrapping forum that was was based on traditional layouts so I at least kept up with the number, tracking both traditional and digital. As I got involved in digital scrapping stores where using their products was required, I realized that I needed to know what I used. I was also on a couple of CT's about 10 years ago so wanted to track which kits were used because some designers put out a lot of kits.

Then I found the spreadsheet @gonewiththewind shared and a whole new way for tracking was born. Along with date, layout name, kits used (broken down by papers, alpha/word art, embellishments), brushes, fonts, templates, I also have a column for a picture of the layout. At one time I also tracked if I had printed the layouts and whether it was individual layouts or shutterfly books and where I printed them (I used 2 different printers for awhile depending on who had the best pricing when I wanted to print).

I'm a spreadsheet nerd and I have multiple spreadsheets for my digi scrapping. 2 are open right now since I've been scrapping!

 

Haha! I think there's definitely some overlap where we scrap the same thing, but we tell it from different perspectives! We share photos regularly. No fighting over photos.

 

I faithfully scrap a double page layout every week and then sometimes I'll work on a few other pages. So, probably just about 10-12 a month.

 

"Back in my hayday" giggle) I easily scrapped 15-20/month. I don't think I even scrapped 20 pages in all of 2020

This year I haven't done a ton, but I'm re-discovering scrapbooking with the Project Life app, and doing it on my phone. I completed Scrapping my 2021 summer road trip already, and I'm spending November doing one-ish event per day left of my 2014-15 album.

When I get on my computer, I find myself doing "batch Scrapping" or "power scrapping"... my 2019 DYD album project has all layouts named, photos placed, journaling started. I imagine if I sat down focused for an entire weekend, I could have another completed project.

So I guess in short... I am typically more Project motivated, and when I find myself close to completing a project, I become super speed, and my pages/month average would be higher... If I'm not far enough into a project, it sits on a back burner and is snail pace progress.
