Do you plan on tracking your 2022 layouts? If so, how will you track them? A printable you found online or some other way? I always mean to keep track of how many layouts I complete but I never do.

I tracked for 2021 using a tracker posted in a FB group I am in. I did really really well with it until about October. I would scrap, put my pages on my easel and on the last day of the month I would count, record and put them in albums. Then Nov/Dec, holidays, birthdays, anniversary, life, SAD etc and I just finished putting them all in. So fresh start tomorrow! I completed 425 layouts give or take 10 (I am human) so I am pretty happy.
I am planning on the same system this year. I just printed the printable, loaded an album with page protectors, set a monthly alarm to count on the last day of the month and I am ready to go!

I take a photo of all my projects and upload to Google photos. There I tag them (cards or layouts).

I used a ticker in my signature - it started out as the 50 layouts to buy tracker and then I decided to aim for a layout/day on average and when I met that goal, I'm aimed for 500 - didn't quite make it though - I'm 13 shy.
I didn't count cards though just layouts.
Going to do a ticker again this year

Not really.
When I was doing round one & two of 50 layout challenge, I made tally marks on a post it. But then i just stopped.
I don't plan on keeping track for 2022.

I have never tracked the quantity of my completed layouts by year.
If I had to, I could make an estimated guess based on which scrapbooks I which scrapbook years worked on during this past year.
This past October, was 25 years that I have been scrapbooking. I am going to add up all my pages and my scrapbooks, etc... because I want to make a page about it. Still tossing around ideas for the page.
25 years scrapbooking
# of pages done
# of scrapbooks done
10,000?+ 20,000?+ millions? of photos taken. No idea of the photo count. Rolls of film, digital photos.
etc....

I have tracked it in the past, but didn't this year.
I may track it this year, and tie it to a reward for scrappy purchases type thing.

One of the Peas said she kept all her branding strips to track how much paper she used. I am doing that, but February to February. I will say my vase is pretty full! If I didn't have a branding strip, I just cut a piece of scrap paper to 1/2".

I did keep track and a little disappointed in myself. Only 73 layouts. Based on how much I bought, those are some expensive pages!!
This year was a bit difficult, diagnosed with breast cancer and lost my mom. I’m hoping for a better 2022. I have TWO more work days and then I’m retiring! Forty years as a nurse and now I’m done.
Hoping for a lot of scrapping time! I also want to save my branding strips! I need to bash that stash!

I do. I try to keep a photo of each layout in a folder on my computer for each year. Then I post most (but not all) of them to the Pea gallery on Flickr. I'll be using the same folder to track my projects and craft space organization hours for the Team challenges too. I just looked. I finished 80 something last year (I know there are some I didn't get pics of.) ss , please don't be disappointed in your total. Mine is about the same as yours, and I'm really happy with it  I spent too much too, but I'm sure you have plenty of leftover supplies to use on this year's pages as well |

Just in a notebook dedicated for years of tracking layouts. Pretty simple and I also track cards I make. I came up short this year but I read quite a bit and exceeded my goal there.

I didn’t track last year, but plan to this year. I do a video a day on YouTube, sometimes more than one and sometimes they aren’t process videos. So I know I at least did 365 layouts last year. I really want to know what I make this year, just to see what I actually can put out.

I'm super basic - I use an index card and put hash marks for every page created.

I keep a record HERE! When I post my LO or card, I edit my profile to add it in. I have the past two years' totals there now. When I have created something in 2022, I will drop the numbers from 2020.

I have a wall where I display finished layouts - I have room for 5 - and then rotate them out as I complete more. Once they are off the wall I store them in a 12x12 box from HL. Then on NYE or day I put them all into albums.
Last year I had 61 which is a pretty big deal for me - that's more than one a week and I'm a slow scrapper that didn't scrap at least 3 months this year due to no mojo and I didn't scrap in December either.

I honestly have no idea. I could make a random guess by counting how many crops I probably went to and make an estimate of an average number of layouts. I completed a CM calendar where I color in each day as one layout and I finished 365 sometime in the fall, like September. I won a paper pack for each quarter I finished, and got my Oct Nov Dec pack the end of Sept. My average is 15 layouts at a crop, and I typically crop 2-3 days a month. I went to a 3 day retreat in Nov and did about 60, so that makes 425 and then what I did in October. Lets pick a nice round 450 for 2021. crystalb - where the heck have you been? I saw your new pic and had to backtrack! Missed you!!! . |

It's easy for me to track my layouts, because I am a digital scrapper.
I have a folder on my Mac for each month, and every layout I do that month is filed in the folder. Also, every layout is uploaded to my Flickr account so I can share it here for the Team Challenges, and on other sites if I'm doing challenges elsewhere.
Out of curiosity, I just counted all of my layouts for 2021. I did about 168 for the year. Some of the months were quite low, because my MacBook was out of action for a few months, so I had to scrap on my PC and Photoshop doesn't run very well on that. My best month was September (or rather, Sketchtember!) with 31 layouts, and my worst was December with only 5 layouts. That's what happens when there are no challenges to inspire me!
ETA: I should also mention that when my mojo disappeared at various times over the year, but I still wanted to do something scrap related, I made up a ton of templates for me to use down the track. That should help get my count up this year, because a lot of the work is already done.

I don't know that I've ever tracked how many layouts I made. I could take a guess for 2021 based on doing the 50 layouts before shopping challenge and restarting twice before I made it through, but between Aug (when I finally did my 50 layouts) and Dec I wouldn't really know. I've always liked the idea but disliked the effort required to keep count.

I did, for the first time. I just kept a notebook with a page per month and the layout title and number of pages. My total was 220 for the year and I was quite happy with that. I’m doing the same for this year.

I track using a spreadsheet on my phone. A new file for each new year. First column is the running number (default since I don’t add headers). Second column is the date finished. 3rd is name/title/description. 4th is running tally for that month. 5th is any notes I want to make, including if I made it at a crop or part of a class, etc.
I’ve also used the color-in sheets, and that’s fun too, but the spreadsheet is my main tracker.

One year I used a monthly calendar. When I finished something, I'd write it on Jan. 1, and so on. It wasn't necessarily doing one page a day, just keeping track of how many were done in the year.
ETA: Here's a link to some printables that could work for tracking. There's a current projects printable towards the end of the page.

I track my layouts on a spreadsheet every year. On average, I only complete around 30 a year. Not to digress, but I don't know how anyone completes 100's of layouts a year. My creativity does not flow that fast.

Honestly it's not something I've ever thought to do. I'd probably be pretty bummed if I did keep track lol.

My creativity does not flow that fast. I would have to say that I am in the same ballpark. I just don't take enough photos to generate that quantity of layouts, not to mention I am a slow scrapper. This year I definitely want to create more and finish/organize a few older projects that are still hanging out on my shelf. |
