I've been on a scrapping rush this year. I counted and I've done 79 layouts since September 1st. That is crazy- I've never produced so many in so short a time. There are times in the past (I've been scrapping 22 years) where I only produced one a month. When I sit down to scrap I usually make 3 layouts before I get up.
I'm single and I don't have kids so that gives me a lot of free time. Scrapping is my preferred way to spend this time.
I'm going on a scrapbook retreat next month and I can usually knock out 20 layouts that weekend (Friday night through Monday morning). One year I only got 11 done, though. Must have spent too much time eating and sleeping.
How many pages do you do a month? How long do you go between scrapping sessions? If you go on a retreat (eat, drink, sleep, scrap) how many do you get done.

I really don't know. I have been all over the place with scrapping since I started 20 years ago. When my kids were in junior high and high school, I had more time and got a lot done. Now I can go for weeks without scrapping (but still love organizing) and then I can get 20 pages done at a crop. I am a prepper/planner and have about 100 pages that are in baggies/kits ready to go.

I did 531 last year - but I'm a sahm with only one left in my nest (DD16) so plenty of spare time. I also do smaller (8.5x11) pages and simpler ones generally as well. Some months I do a bunch, some months I don't scrap at all. I've never been on a scrappy retreat  |

I just counted them, which was easy enough because every layout I did is in the gallery here. Wow, I did 160 layouts, which is more than I would have thought! Most of my layouts were done during Sketchtember, 28-4-28, MOC, and Shimelle's Scrap a Rainbow classes. Sketchy Saturday also helps - I think I only missed one or two last year.
How many pages do you do a month? It depends on what month it is. The three big months each year are:
September / Sketchtember - at least one per day.
January - At least 20 for MOC, trying for all 31 this year.
February / 28-4-28 - I am going to try to meet every challenge, but coming off MOC, I might be worn out.
How long do you go between scrapping sessions? I do something scrappy almost every day. Even if it's just creating a template from a sketch or making up my own kit.
If you go on a retreat (eat, drink, sleep, scrap) how many do you get done? I have never been to a retreat, even when I used to paper scrap.

I probably average 2 layouts a week but am more prolific at certain times of the year, like during Sketchtember when I try to do all the sketches but usually get through at least 20 of them during the month. I've also never been on a retreat, but on a good weekend of scrapping I might get 3 or 4 layouts done. I do something related to scrapping most days. During the week that is most often checking in here or looking at the new releases at sb.com, but on weekend I tend to actually scrap, I often scrap on Friday nights during Shimelle's livestream.

I counted the ones I have made between DD and DS as well as my DD and it will be a total of 91 pages for 2022. A month? It really depends. Sometimes its 2 or 3, other times it is 10-15.
I don't go on retreats or whatnot. I haven't been to an in person crop in YEARS. I think the last time I went was 2012 or 2013. And it was always at my LSS which closed in 2016 I think. It moved back to State St in 2015 and I dont think lasted more than a year there.

I made 42 layouts in 2022, and it was by far my most productive year. (36/42 were for design team commitments. So I only made 6 for funsies, LOL!) I work part time, am the mom of two young kids, am involved in several activities, and shoulder most of our household stuff. I scrapbook in the margins, and I make creative decisions slowly. Haha. I am more than OK with all of that.

I went back and counted all my pages for 2022… 196!
Not including various mini projects and cards. I’ve been saying I want to taper it back this year, so we’ll see. I said that last year too probably.
Edited to add that I counted double page layouts as 2 pages.
