How many layouts could you make with a collection?

My friend and I made 5 double page layouts with twelve sheets of paper and a page of embellishments. We used colored card stock for the base though. Whenever I buy paper (for a double layout) I always buy a total of 5 sheets if I won't use a card stock base. I like pattern and layering.

I did this with 2 K&Co pad and ephemera for my MIL's 65 birthday. I still have some of it left and I probably made at least 30 pages, if not 40.  I like this for theme albums. However, if I worked with 1 collection until it was done with everyday photos, I'd be bored. I don't know if I'm organized enough to keep track if I just use it like normal. Maybe with a large post it note in the collection pack and by using hashtags when a layout is complete. It would be interesting to find out.

Let us know if you track them and how it comes out. I just got a clearanced Hello Love pad, and I have the 6x6 pad too. I'll use it and a post-it.

I did shimelle's original perfect collection (?) class, using an echo park collection kit. I know I made at least 20 pages from it, but I scrap 8.5x11, so even using pp for a background left me scraps to work with. I did have paper left over and definitely stickers too. I can't remember what else I used for embellishment.

anyway, I loved that class. maybe it would work for you too OP

I'm a simple scrapper, so probably a lot.

I made 6 layouts with a mini kit this weekend. It was an old My Mind's eye line from 2014 called Now and Then, Dorothy. I had 7 sheets of 12x12 paper, a pack of flair, a pack of ephemera, and a set of chipboard stickers. I added 3 pieces of white cardstock. I have used all the paper, but I still have flair and ephemera left which will go into mu stash.

I have no idea. I made 12 two-page LOs, 2 one-page LOS (all 12x12, and 1 single page 8x11 LO with an old making Memories collections years ago, but never since have I sat down and plowed through a collection like that. And that was so long ago that I don't even know if the quantity involved in that collection is equal to the quantity you get in a collection these days.

Every time I see this thread it makes me want to give it a try again. I remember using a Capture Life collection pack up until I couldn't do anymore. No idea how many layouts I did, but I remember how fun it was to keep track and try to squeeze more out.

I also remember making a large (Iris container size)DIY kit and setting a goal of completing 50 layouts before I moved on. I did the fifty and that kit is still loaded and I still love it! I think it had something to do with the happy colors, awesome yellow thickers and that I was working on Disney albums. It has some Disney embellishments in the kit, but it had very little Disney product in it. Makes me want to work from the kit now!

I'm starting a project, so I don't think I'll have a chance to try it right now. If I do I'll let you know. Hope to see others progress!

I'm half way to completing the 24 layouts!

Because I am working on a 12x12 album and three 5.5x8.5 albums for my sister and her kids, I started with those pages first before I start to run low on embellishments and thickers. Working on the smaller pages has really helped the kit go far.

I've finished the nine 5.5x8.5 pages and three of the 12x12 pages I chose for their albums. I still have two 12x12's and two 6x12's to finish for my sisters album. Then I'll move on to my family's eight pages. Luckily I printed out pictures of us in the rain at the twins stadium because I fussy cut umbrellas and diecut clouds so I'd be able to stretch the kit.

Thanks to the Tuesday Morning price tag, I know I got this kit in the fall of 2014 for $3.99. If someone was on a really tight budget, and didn't have the quantity of supplies that some of us do, this would be a really nice way to get tons done! I have only added cardstock and adhesive. When the layouts are all done I'll sew on them all, so thread, too. I'm not bored yet because it's a challenge.

I'll be back to let you know when I've finished!

The layouts are done. I took a picture of what was left and the stack of layouts. I still need to sew them, but wanted to take pictures before I lose the light.

I used all but a few border strips, a piece of patterned paper that is 3.5x5, a bunch of the stickers, fussy cut umbrellas and the diecut hearts and clouds. There are a couple of vowels left on the thickers so I might get a title out of them. I was disappointed that I only used the tile alphas once, but I couldn't make them work.

I usually use more layers and embellishments, so these layouts are cute, but much more basic than I normally would do and took a lot less time than normal.

It was fun doing this, but I'm really happy that I have a ginormous stash to work with and that I can use anything and everything I'd like to!
