What is your scrapbooking process?

Sort of a mix.  I scraplift 99% of the time, so I always have a basic plan.  I won't lay out all my smaller embellishments, but I definitely work w/the placement of larger embellishments, pieces of patterned paper, journalling block & photos before I glue them down.  I've gotten bitten in the butt more than once by gluing as I go and finding things weren't lined up the way I wanted or didn't fit on the page.  

I lay out mostly everything (except maybe the title) before I stick things down. I like to play with moving things around to be sure I like where I placed it.

yep, that's what I do too 

I lay everything out and then glue, I really tried to be spontaneous and glue as I went but that process really was not for me.

I start with the pictures.

I pull papers and embellishments that would compliment the photos.

I see what tools, etc., I have that might be useful.

I play around with the layout design till I figure out what I want to do (no, I do not use sketches like so many folks do--they don't work well for me).

My layout usually kind of evolves from what I first think I am going to do.

I almost never stick anything down until I am pleased with the results, then I get out the adhesives.

Grab pics.

I pick out background paper (cardstock or pp).

Usually roughly decide how I will put those down. If I like it, adhere it.

Then I start filling in with journaling cards and embellishments. Adhere as soon as I see I like it. Biggest embellies first, progressively tucking in smaller ones.

Sequins and Stickles last.

I lay it out, then glue when I'm done. Sometimes I leave uh glued till the next day, just to make sure
I'm happy with it.

1.  Photo placement
2.  Choose paper, cut, and adhere it
3.  Figure out where to put journaling
4.  Embellish
5.  Decide where to put the title
6.  Print journaling and adhere
7.  Cut title on Cameo and adhere

I feel like title placement should come earlier in the process, but I've never been able to make that happen. It's not as important to me as pictures and paper. I always manage to fit in somewhere.

I start with pics. I usually use up to 5 in various sizes on a page. I pick what embellishments or stickers that I want to use then I pick my papers. I glue down after I arrange my page. I can't do it as I go.

I have the worst process ever. It takes ages to finish a set of pages. I work chronologically, and will 'work' with 3 months of pictures/events at a time.
Phase I
1. Resize/crop photos in Photoshop, and send them for print. Sometimes I'll add words to photos.
2. Set up my base layout, which means mat photos, pick background paper. I actually stick this down. Do this for all 3 months of photos/events.
Phase II
1. Type journaling.
2. Print on correct colored cardstock. Again, for all 3 months of events.
Phase III
1. Add embellishments, printed journaling, and title (if I didn't do it in phase II). Do this for all 3 months.

So, I make 3 separate passes per page, sometimes weeks apart. By the end, I'm sometimes so sick of the page, I don't care about the end product. I've tried to change up my process, but always end up going back to it.

I am super left brained so I don't have a creative bone in my body. So I pick the pictures I want to use then either use a sketch or a LO I've clipped out of a magazine. I pull some papers and embellish and kind of sketch placement. Then lay everything down, move it around until I like it, then start gluing. Once I get the basic paper and photo placement, I start embellishments and titles and journaling. Then I write the date on the back and, if I used someone's LO for inspiration, I write their name, the publication and the month it was published.

This pretty much sums it up for me.

Uh, you have company as far as being the slowest scrapper ever.
But I have found something that helps me speed up the process- sketches!
