Do you have go to designs for fast scrapping?

I love watching bingaling too. She has an awesome YouTube channel. I love the notebook edge die she uses!

For me, I wouldn't call it a style really, but every time I have more than 3 photos, I have a tendency to rely on a grid placement. Not every time, but too often. Because it's easy. 

Is being lazy a stylistic choice?

My personal style is simple, clean, & linear with extensive journaling. I have a "go-to" design for each of 1, 2, 3, 4, & multiple (on the second of a 2-pg layout) photo layouts, but strive not to overuse them to ensure variety in each album. IMHO "fast scrapping" is relative. I'm creatively-challenged, indecisive, precise (ie a t-ruler is my most-used tool!), & a slow scrapper, so "fast scrapping" for me is rarely achieved even when repeating the same designs with supplies previously selected & journaling already completed!  

My style would probably be called Repeat, Repeat, Repeat!

I am all about visual triangles. And repeated colors and elements.

Oh, and my style is clean layered. I either do lots of layers of white on white under my photos which tend to be a little bit messy, or I do a mix of patterns but then keep the layering really neat and orderly. My journaling is often in narrow strips, and I love little sprinkly bits of mist or enamel dots to finish off my clusters.

I was a slow, meticulous, almost boring scrapper until about four years ago when I discovered Shimelle’s videos. The way she cut pieces apart, adhered as she went, layered patterns, and used color really inspired me. My style is not exactly like hers but I like to think it’s similar! I love her collections, too.

ETA: My go-to designs are two vertical or two horizontal photos stacked next to each other and matted.

Stripes. I can usually do a fast layout with stripes. No idea why but that’s how my brain works.

After stripes, a repetitive pattern is also semi speedy.

I have my biggest issue when trying to use specific or themed paper that is not an all over pattern.

That being said my last 2 12x12 layouts have been on not stripes, not repetitive paper. But these particular papers just called to me when I saw them and I found the pictures for them. But they aren’t heavily themed or anything. What these papers had were, they have an off center pattern that seemed to lead the layout placement making it easy peasy.

I am not a fast scrapper. Years behind, and I am okay with that. It will get done when it gets done.

My style is what I call old school. The style that was around in the earlier years of the scrapbooking craze.
I like patterned paper. I like to mix and match patterns(stripes, polkadots, checkered, floral, etc...).
I love stickers. Bigger stickers. No tiny sticker sneeze.
I love frames.
I mat my photos.
I like bright, bold colors.
I will do a one page layout or 20 pages of layouts... based on the number of photos per event, photo op, night out, moment, etc...
I scrapbook in chronological order, by year(January to December).
8.5 x 11.

Not a fan of muted or pastel colors.
Not a fan of vintage.

I don't really have a go to design, just wanted to say thanks for linking to the video and blog hop. That is really enjoyable!

These 2 recent layouts are typical of my go to style. I scrap fast and this helps me use my patterned paper stash and embellishments, and my big sticker stash.
I use a border across the bottom, and group my photos in the center. I use mats and often frame the layout and cut out the middle of the frame and use it to mat the photos.

I definitely know my style. I tend to do two page layouts with 3 to 5 photos, each photo being separate and distinct enough that the viewer will look at each photo, even if for only a half a second. I sometimes have more page decoration, sometimes less. It depends on the photos. The photos drive the design.

I’d rather spend more time on a layout and be happy with it. Every time I try to speed up the process, I regret the results.

I don’t use sketches. They feel like I am forcing myself into someone else’s style, and they take me a lot more time than designing my layout from scratch myself.

I think everyone has to find what works for them. I’m comfortable with my scrapping process. I just need to make more time to scrapbook.
