So, I just realized I achieved a milestone:
I have made since February 2013 , 2053 LOs to the date, here at The Lilypad!!!!!!

I have been Polly since December 2015

but I have always scrapped quiet a lot here....
I see some of us are more prolific....

How much do you scrap?
and what is your favorite to scrap? challenges? speed scraps/slow speed scraps?
I know when I did MOC in 2014, I took time out of all my CTs because I wanted to put my heart & soul on the MOC pages and that was such a pleasure... I have gone back after this MOC to try make more pages with lots of time...and February I was able to complete all monthly challenges, something I had not for over a year!!!!

so, how about you?
 
That seems like a lot of LOs to me! WOW!

I really don't scrap that much. That's why I was so pleasantly surprised at myself for completing MOC this year after starting on January 14! My house got neglected quite a bit, but it was so much fun. Next year I hope to be prepared to start on day 1. Ordinarily I don't scrap that much. I just don't have the time or energy. I work outside the home, and up until Wednesday, I had a bad job with the worst boss ever. I was emotionally spent by the time I got home on most weekdays. I'd like to be able to scrap at least 4 LOs a month. I've been digi scrapping since 2006, but I know I don't have anywhere near 1,000 LOs. I'll have to check.
 
I started digi May of 2009, so coming up on 8 years in just a couple months. As of this moment I have 2375 digital layouts completed + 10 digiscrap books. (Almost will have 2 more books after another 25 pages!!) I always make MOC a priority!

Not nearly as prolific as you, but in 2017 I've been a beast! LOL! This is different for me! I'm always a fast scrapper, but I do tend to get inspiration & time in waves. When family things get harder I disappear. I have to compartmentalize things for sanity... I'm hoping this year keeps being as awesome for my creativity as it has been so far!
 
I've been digitally scrapping for 14 years & CTing since it was invented so I have A LOT of pages. I would have to go & count them all.

We'll see how motivated I feel tonight after I get the kids in bed. :giggle
 
I'm, pretty prolific too, but don't have a count anymore since a site closed that had most of my layouts...grrrr. As of last November I had 2,192 there. I've made 165 here at the Pad since November. Now if I would just print some of them!!:sense
 
I only post about 1/4 of the pages I make. I also create books rather than individual pages. I would need to count them up, but maybe 300-400 a year? Maybe 2,000 total? Maybe I will go count them out of curiosity.
 
I just checked my scrap folder and I have around 3,000 layouts in there dating back to mid 2012, including PL and DYD. I've been scrapping since 2006, and a lot of my older layouts are on CDs. I didn't do quite as many then as I do now. I average about 6 or 7 pages a week...sometimes more, sometimes less.
 
WOW!!!! I am impressed with all the pages you ladies have done. I don't think I am anywhere close your numbers. Guess I need to get to work ;)
 
Last year I scrapped 370 layouts! CT'ing definitely keeps me hopping & I love it- as many photos as I take- I need to stay on the ball! ;) The last few years I've done the MOC & that really helps get a lot of the old ones done & checked off the list! I'm already at 75 this year & it's only march! :D
 
I had several years where I scrapped 600+ layouts per year. I have greater demands on my time these days so I don't know how many I've been doing. I do scrap challenges primarily these days.
 
@lizziej I used to work for a boss fro hell so I know how consuming it can be, don;t think I would have been able to scrap as much when I had that job!
how great that you did MOC to the end and I love seeing you here still!!!

I think I should have specified, as there are many of you now here who don't know me too well: I have a LOT OF time.....I am in very bad health and 99% of my time is bed bound, Sarita, my daughter just turned 21 and she doesn't "need" much of my time, so I have time to scrap, lately though I am scrapping much less because my brain is suffering side effects of some new medication so it gets more difficult to get organized

Elisa.... first thing I scrapped as a Project were the first 8 years of Sarita in 7 books that are printed....that was in 2007!!!! I used to compartmentalize... these days the lines that divide my brain are thin and cloudy.... hence my not being able to follow a LOT of stuff... everyday life has the annoying thing of interfering with my scrapping also LOL @EHStudios

you got me a hearty laugh with this just now LOL
I started scrapping in 2007 but not in mainstream sites, it was a free program online, we were beta testers in the beginning but when they sold to Mixbook, so when I came into mainstream I was delighted to see the CT thing....I have been blessed with the teams I have been (and I am stll for most!)
I m curious about your numbers now!!!
I have to clarify, the number I mentioned above is just here at The Pad, I don;t think my brain can cope with fndng out how many, plus after the last EHD crashed...things are worse for me t find!


Carol.... me too!!!! I was prining until; 2012 when I lost track because mainly I had no money but I should really make the effort!!!!! @Iowan

I used to scrap a lot more than I posted in the past too,
300-400 a year is great!!! those are good numbers for you! As I mentioned above, the reason I scrap so much is because my health confines me t bed most of the time!!!

you know, almost everyday I still am riding on the awesome feeling of so many of us from those times being together again... with you & @Lor I have this thing, I admired you so much then and I have never thought it was possible you would grow so much as an artist, because you both rocked even then!!!!

I will come tio chat more and answer t each afyer I got a bit of sleep, my brain is refusing to work e
 
Yes, I would say that I am prolific. Being on CT's here at the Lilypad means that I usually have layouts for SOSN and new releases. I easily scrap a layout per day and love it! I have absolutely no idea of my numbers.
 
When applying for CTs, I usually say to myself "I'm not the best, but I am prolific". No joke! I have scrapped here (almost exclusively) since 2014. I did a quick tally of my LOs since joining here in 2012. It's pretty funny, I increase my scrapping each year.
2012-2 LOs
2013- 0 LOs (I was scrapping at another store, probably did about 30)
2014- 59
2015- 83
2016- 294
2017- 86 so far
 
I started scrapping in 2004 but only have my layouts on my PC since 2010, so I have no idea about the time before. I save most of my original layouts and from 2010 to 2016 I have 1.282 pages saved, a lot of them 2-pagers. In 2017 I have made 50 pages so far, thanks to MOC.

My most prolific year was 2013 with 349 pages. Considering I have two boys and a part time job you can imagine what my house must look like, :-)

I wouldn't call myself a binge scrapper but I do go through phases where I scrap a lot and then not much at all.
 
I can be prolific! It's hard for me to get an accurate count due to my file method though. Until 2013 I tried organizing pages by theme. Since then I've dumped everything related to my scrapbook pages including PSDs, printable versions, and web versions all in the same folder for each year. Only this year have I begun putting my printable versions in a folder of their own. Also, if I were counting manually I'd probably count a two page spread as one layout, but right and left pages are two separate documents in my file folder so they are counted separately.

from 2004, most after 2007, through 2011 I made about 600 pages
2012 ~500 (I was working on creative teams from 2011 through 2012)
2013 only 19
2014 only 8 (I was concentrating on photography, considering going pro; but I was sadly missing scrapping)
2015 ~160 Yay! I got back into it!
2016 ~270 Mostly thanks to TLP! :love
so far in 2017 94 pages

I love the push of challenges. That's why I have a digiscrap forum home. I don't think I'd be as prolific if I weren't involved in a digiscrap community. I enjoy speed scraps too, but if I could only have one or the other, I'd choose challenges. Another thing that helps me scrap are the tutorials; it's fun to learn and try new things.
 
I didn't get many done the first few yrs of scrapping, maybe a few hundred. But for 2014, 2015 and 2016 I averages about 600 yr. I keep them in smugmug and at the end of the yr I check my total. I enjoy doing a look thru the yr to see what I accomplished. So, right now, I'd say I'm somewhere just over the 2,000 mark in total.
 
I am not. I don't have even half, of what you have done, in my entire TLP gallery! But I guess I get pulled in other directions with my "scrapping time" ... gallery, writing posts, blog duties and posts/challenges for designers ... all of which I love to do immensely - so it's all good! I have always, always been in awe of the # of pages & quality of pages you produce Cynthia. You are a scrapping powerhouse ... and then all your other duties you do on top of it too ... we are blessed to have you in this community and hobby. :bk
 
I'm not prolific.... in my mind. I'm a super slow scrapper, and tend to work better with deadlines. I'm closer to the 1,200 mark for layouts. :) I'm also like @jenn mccabe pulled in other directions - tutorials, ads, etc. I think for that image folder, I'm closer to the 1,500 mark!
