What do you need to scrap more? Other than time, of course. A friend and I were texting today while scrapping and started talking about how much time it saved to scrap with a kit. When we go to retreats she always makes up kits with photos and papers and she was using some of those last night. She said she got so much more done with the kits than today when she was scrapping without a kit. I have been working on photos from a vacation and made a loose type of kit. I pulled out my travel Iris bin and have been using the embellishments and papers from there with a few others I pulled. I think limiting myself that way helps me to be a faster scrapper. Fewer decisions make for quicker pages.
I’m also a sketch user, especially for double layouts. I have a couple of binders of sketches and I can flip through pretty fast and pick one. Not having to make all the design decisions speeds me up. Single page layouts I will wing, but then again sometimes i will use half of a sketch.
Having my supplies within reach helps too. My Silhouette is right next to me and most things are within reach.
What kind of things do you do to help you scrap more.?
I just realized this makes me sound like I want to hurry through the process and just get it done which couldn’t be further from the truth. I love the process and enjoy my scrapping time. I just like feeling like I’m getting something accomplished. So, I guess that’s another question. Do you want to scrap faster?

I need to stick to one format - either layouts or PL. I cant flip flop, back and forth. I print my own photos so it also helps to have those ready. I also try to limit my supplies. Too many choices = getting nothing done.

I need to be motivated - I can do a layout in 30 minutes typically (8.5x11) but there's one on my desk right now I've been moving about and looking at for over a week....
I love sketches and also using a layout as a sketch/inspiration.
Having everything within arms distance - All my supplies are on/under/right next to my scrapbook table. And that limits HOW much I have which also helps - less decisions.

Right now I need my desk to be cleared off. I have made a bunch of pages and they are all just out on my desk without pictures. I am doing multiples of these 22 pages, so I have everything on the desk kind of willy-nilly.

Having a space that was on the main floor or upper floor - with a window - would be a huge help. I hate leaving my family upstairs and descending to my dungeon. I feel isolated. It's dark. If I were upstairs, I can see the kids pacing, doing homework, playing video games - it's not doing something together, but it feels more together. This is why I watch movies/shows while I scrap, the "background noise" really helps me focus. Like when we have peas google hang-out sessions, it keeps me company!

Time is the biggest factor for me. I work 40 hours a week, and even though it's currently all from home due to the pandemic (yay! - no commuting time), I don't seem to have much mojo left for scrapping after an 8-hour day of work, especially in this current pandemic environment. (I've been very worried & stressed about a close family member who was in the hospital with COVID19 up until last week. Now thankfully he is much better and recovering at home. But I could NOT scrap or do much of anything outside of work during those weeks.) So I tend to concentrate a lot of it on weekends, but the last few weekends have been spent making cards instead. I made Easter cards and sent them out, and now I'm working on a couple of Thank You cards and some "Hello Spring" cards. Once those are done I'll get back to working on my current scrapping project - a vacation from several years ago.
I don't do kits - and yes, it does take me longer to scrap sometimes because of it, but making page kits just doesn't work for me. I've tried (before a crop) and I don't like it at all. I need to see my photos and play around with them, pull & crop the ones I want for each double LO, THEN see which colors, papers, embellishments/die cuts, title, journaling cards/spots I want to use. It takes a bit of organization up front, but usually I'll have an idea for the next set of LO pages once I'm into the photos. Even though I don't make kits, when I start working on a particular project, I pull out the sets of cardstock/PP, PP pads, 6x6 pads, any themed embellishments, and/or collections I know I mostly want to use for that project and have them nearby on my side table. That said, there may be other pieces in my scraproom that I'll pull out for a particular page, or have to go searching for "just the right thing" that I know I have stashed somewhere, or pop up to the computer desk and set up a die cut or title on my Silhouette. Those are the things that sometimes send me down the rabbit hole so that I end up spending waaaay more time on some pages than others. I do use sketches sometimes when I'm stuck for an idea, or want a particular look for a page or double LO.
Having everything nearby helps me immensely - all my most-used tools and supplies are within arm's reach on my desktop and the other stuff is stored in a fairly organized way so that I can find it when I need it. I keep my Silhouette set up at my computer desk so it's ready whenever needed. I use it almost every time I scrap. Another thing I do that helps me a lot is when I finish a scrapping session I always clean my desktop (or at least straighten it up, LOL) then pull out the next handful of photos that I'll be scrapping in the next session so that I can start thinking about how I want to do them and what papers & embellishments I'll want with them. That way my scrap desk is ready for me to jump right in the next time I sit down.

I need to have my photos organized so I know in advance which photos I'm using, which photos go on which page, and which pages will face each other. I just feel more confident when I can visualize what the finished product will look like, beginning to end. I just like having a plan before I start.
I "finished" a few years of scrapbooks from when my kids were little, and then my mother gave me a stash of photos of my kids that I knew nothing about. What? I was grateful for the photos, and I wanted to include them, but frustrated because I had already scrapped many of those events. Now years later I still need to go through those books and re-do a lot of those stories.
I guess that experience made me that much more determined to gather all the photos from all the family members at the end of each year so I won't be met with more surprises like that again.

I look at the pictures and then pick the papers and embellishments. Happy that your loved one is out of the hospital. That has to be so scary. |

Time. That's it. Truly.
I have a huge stash that I love. I have lots of ideas in my head. Tons of photos. 3 home printers to print the photos. A small scrap room. I have everything...except extra time.

One part of the LO that excites me--the story, the photos, the papers, a technique I want to try, a sketch I want to make work... Once I get going on one element, the rest of the LO usually comes together fairly easily. I like options, so I never know exactly what will be on the page until I am assembling it, but I like to have those options handy to try different combos with them until it "looks right".
I often like to scrap different LO's with the same theme (like birthdays, or Christmas, or hockey) at the same time while I have coordinated supplies out on top of my desk and my mind. Often use scraps from one LO on the next one.
Freedom from distractions. I like a quiet house and no interruptions. When I am at a crop, the general buzz around me kind of works the same way--all I have to think about is the project at hand.
I am most creative in the morning, so that is the best time for me to scrap. Least creative time is late afternoon. By then I am tired and cranky and critical of everything I try. Sometimes get a second wind after supper, especially if I can get away for awhile and think about something else.

I find it’s a good way to use my scraps. |

Peace and alone time. I need to think my own thoughts to actually scrap.
I also find I scrap more when I have abundant embellishments. I like to cluster, and scatter, and feel restricted if I'm worried about running out of something.
Like many of you, all my supplies are kept right at hand.
In fact, the only tools I don't use consistently are my ZipeMate & dies/embossing folders because they don't have their own station. To use them, I have to move them to another surface (my bed).
I tend to only do it if I have a whole morning & afternoon to play around.

What kind of things do you do to help you scrap more.? peace and time is a good one. UNINTERRUPTED time. I need a long time to get into a good creative flow, and I want to STAY there when I finally get into my groove. It's tough to do that at home when the cats and dogs are coming in and out of my room, and when my DH is (seemingly) forever asking me a question or wanting to say something to me. I also need to clean up as I go in order to be more creative, and that's a tough one for me to do. But it absolutely helps me more in the long run. If I leave my table messy, I don't want to go back to it. So I've been at least putting my tools back into the tool caddy, if nothing else, when I leave my space with a half-finished project on it. oh, and I am TOTALLY a scraplifter, sketch-user, whatever you want to call it. I need a starting point for my pages. My favorite part of the process is the paper + photos + embellishing part of the process, so I use SG sketchbooks, sketches, Instagram ideas, etc. as a jumping-off point for my own pages. I *hate* starting with a blank canvas and a handful of photos. That is NOT the 'fun part' for me... so I get into the fun part quicker by using sketches or other people's layouts as a starting point. My layouts might not look anything like my inspiration piece at the end, but I need somewhere to start from, and sketches, etc. give me that starting point. Some of my inspiration sources: Scrapbook Generation sketches & books, sketches I hand-draw from watching YouTube videos, Club Scrap kit instructions, Kiwi Lane layouts / sketches, Creative Memories layout instructions, Lea France European scrapping templates, etc. I follow quite a few Japanese Creative Memories instructors, and the Japanese ladies do some *very* interesting things with papers for their layouts, too. (I also still have some "classic" items like Deluxe Cuts page templates, an EK Success 'Page Planner' lol, the Deluxe Cuts Pages by Design book, and a few other 'old' things like that around that I also use for a change of pace on my pages. |

I need my crops back. My crops are where I do all of my scrapbooking. I brought my stuff along to my mom's to work on and I've been here 3 days and haven't even looked at it. I could scrap when she takes afternoon naps, but I love a nap myself!
If I have to go more than one more month without crops I am going to have to set up an area in my kitchen or something to get moving on the piles of photos I have accumulated. I have a scrap space but it is 'under construction.'
If I took the time I spend on here I could do something as well, but I like hanging out here and seeing what others are up to.

What I want is to eliminate indecision. Having a sketch as a jumping off point and a collection kit is what helps me enjoy the process more. I do want to scrap faster, I guess, meaning with less indecisiveness. I don’t want to rush through it but I also don’t want to waste time sitting there staring blankly at my layout. That’s not enjoyable. If I don’t start with a kit I waste a lot of time looking for embellishments that will work.

I have been enjoying watching YouTube videos where they have made up their own kit that they then use for a month. I think I am going to try it myself. The last time I reorganized my pp I sort of put papers together by if I would use them together on a layout so I don’t think it will be too hard. I agree that limiting the decision making process helps speed things up. |

I don’t have any local crops, but a friend and I always go to one or two a year in a neighboring state. The next one is scheduled for late August. We were just saying how disappointed we would be if it got canceled. |

They are usually trying to hide also. Lol! Sketches absolutely let me get to the fun part also. I hate trying to decide where to put everything. |

The Epson PictureMate is on the way to my house so I think that will be a game changer for me. |

oh, one more thing I need is to be in a good mood. If I'm sad, upset, angry, irritated, etc. then there's no point. I've tried before, and all I do is get irritated at my project and I'm unhappy with what I've created. When I get like that, I do other things instead of scrapping.

Had to laugh at your comment about you pets bothering you. Mine do wander in and out on occasion, but today I had to clean up my work paperwork/computer for the last 4.5 years. I was let go due to budget issues (along with many other sadly). So I pulled it all out and started recycling and filing and trying to get some things together for my coworker to use. Ha. It didn't last five minutes and my friend beast saunters in with her bowl and starts tossing it around letting me know it was suppertime. (It was not.) While she certainly isn't as bad as a kid, she doesn't have her moments.  |

I would get more scrapbooking done if my nosy room-mate would refrain from plopping herself down in the middle of my stuff, as well as keep her paws to herself.
The minute I roll my scrapbook cart out of the closet and over to the table, she wakes up from her nap and comes to snoop.
Darn cat!

One of the reasons I switched to using 12x12 page protectors. Then I have holiday/event albums I do just for fun where I do more embellishing. I use sketches or scraplifts for those.
I think my biggest sticking point in my process is I need to have a bunch of photos printed and ready. I'm bad about that. Yes! Photos printed and enough adhesive on hand.
For me, I need to come up with a schedule. I can rarely do one page in one sitting because I don't have a dedicated scrap space. Something like find a sketch or a scraplift of a page, find paper, stamp, use diecut machines , and add embellishments on different days. It's a pain to have *everything* out.

I think my biggest sticking point in my process is I need to have a bunch of photos printed and ready. I'm bad about that. This is my biggest obstacle right now and something I am going to start rectifying on the weekends. In general, I use a lot of the methods already mentioned that make scrapping easier mostly using sketches and kits/collections. It's just less decisions I need to make. The only other thing that's causing a "block" is that I am working from home and my work/scrap space are one in the same so I am constantly moving things around. |
