Hello everyone !
I'm curious to know how long it takes you to complete a page.
Do you do it all at once? Do you start several pages at the same time?

I don't have the eye on the clock but I think it takes me 30 to 45 minutes to create my page.

Do you do it all at once?
Yes, when I start a page I finish it before making an other. But sometimes I get up and move around because sitting in front of the computer for 45 minutes is difficult. The time I wrote above is the time I spend in front of the computer because, in fact, between the time I start the page and the time I finish it, there can sometimes be 1 or 2 hours.

Do you start several pages at the same time?
No never
 
It varies. The most time consuming part of a page creating for me is choosing the photos and product choices for the story I want to tell. That bit can take who knows how long
When I know the story and have chosen my supplies crafting a page can take between 15 mins and an hour depending on how involved it is, and whether I use a template or not. (Templates are quicker as I don't have to spend time thinking about my page creation - although choosing the template time gets added to that before I start time I mentioned earlier ....)

I'd say an hour ish cause a) I get distracted but b) too many creative options if I'm not doing a CT page

Do you do it all at once?
I am an all at once person when it comes to layouts, I always have been but I kind of wish I wasn't at least some of the time as I can have tendencies to get creatively stumped just to finish the layout.

ADHD like tendencies and starting multiple things does not work for me....it just ends in either a disaster or a big mess so I'm a one page at a time gal.

It depends on how involved the page is and how indecisive I am. I am notorious for deciding halfway through to switch out an element and then I have to shuffle everything around. A pocket page is 20-30 minutes once I have my photos and kit picked. The time I built an entire aquarium scene in a template set was 10+ hours for 4 pages. I'd say probably around an hour for very clustery pages with a template.

Do you do it all at once?
I would like to but things frequently get saved to return to if my son needs something. It's why I tend to work ahead with my CT assignments; I work while I can so it's still to the designers on time. I do love when I get uninterrupted scrapping time though. (It's why I'm up super early today.)

Do you start several pages at the same time?
Depends on the project. If I'm working with a bunch of photos from one occasion/event, I may batch my work: put all the photos in the templates and add journaling first, then go and make them pretty. That's what I did for my aquarium pages mentioned above. It was essential that I had everything planned out there so I could pick kits with the specific fish on each page.

Oh, gosh...that truly depends. If I have an idea already, then it comes together in an hour or two. But sometimes, I'll take 3 or 4 hours to get things right. If I'm doing a one kit page, it can be faster, but I don't tend to stick to one kit unless it's a requirement for a challenge or CT work. I will find the right flower if it kills me! I just do a File Explorer search for "flower" and they all pop up and the right color comes to me as I scroll through 1500 options.

Do you do it all at once? Do you start several pages at the same time? Sometimes I will put a page away and come back to it the next day to see if I like it or not. But I rarely have more than one page in progress. I probably NEVER have more than one page in progress, to be honest.

Way too long. 2 hours is fast for me.

Do you do it all at once?
Yes.

Do you start several pages at the same time?
No.

I think an hour would be fast for me, but generally they take over that.

Do you do it all at once?
Almost always. The only time i don't is if I started making a page on my lunch break and didn't finish it and have to come back later to complete it.

Do you start several pages at the same time?
No. Once in a great while I'll start a page and need a picture to complete it (usually from my kids), so then I'll have to wait to finish it until I get that picture, but that is really rare.
 
It usually takes me about 30 mins. I will mostly do one at a time, unless I feel stuck and one and then need a change of scenery to regroup and then come back to it. Occasionally I need to wait for a photo, from someone else, or need help from hubby to locate it on my computer.
 
I'm curious to know how long it takes you to complete a page. It depends! For me I take longer when I am using a template and I can work on it for a few hours as I am trying to fit in to the dynamic of the template. I prefer to free-style my pages and for me it is quicker then.
Do you do it all at once? If I am making a page then yes I do it all at once. On occasion, I may not like it and save where I am at and come back to it the next day, but that is rare.

Do you start several pages at the same time? I have my 2024 UK trip book that I am working on (almost done) in addition to the Lilypad pages I make so that is the only thing I am doing at the same time.
 
I probably average around an hour, but I've done pages in as little as 15 minutes and I've also spent a few hours on a few pages. Rarely have I ever not finished a page all at once (though I do get up for breaks) nor do I usually have more than one page going at the same time. Although, a few years I've done a calendar layout, adding something to each day on the calendar grid, so I guess in that case I had those pages going all the time alongside the regular layouts I made.
