I was able to take a quick peek at 5 pages of the gallery and, as always, love so much of what I see. I'm just wondering - how long does it take you to do a layout, in general? Mine seldom take an hour, usually under 30 minutes (which is probably why I never post them to the gallery!!:-D ). My friend's DIL can take 5-7 days to make the page look exactly right. So I just wonder how long it takes most people.

[ScrapGoo]

Usually a few hours for me.

[JillinIN]

That's a good question. Sometimes a layout will just fall into place and I'll be pleased with the result, other times I will spend way too much time stressing over it and still not be thrilled with it.
Just guessing I would say average 30 minutes per page.

[lilkoala3]

On average, I'd say 1.5 hours. But I write all my journaling ahead of time, so that's not included in that total.

[scraptag]

I just did two in 1 hour, but I used sketches, and I don't journal a lot. I am very close to being done with the end of a year, and I just want to get it done, so I can start the next year.

[averys_mom]

From choosing the pictures to the end product, I can take up to a day to complete. Most of the time, probably between 3-5 hours. More if I'm using my Cricut and Cuttlebug.

For most digi layouts it takes me 30 minutes to an hour. For a paper layout, I might take 2 or 3 hours, but that's because my paper stash is so disorganized it takes me forever to find what I want to use! LOL!

[PezKat]

Probably a couple of hours. It's hard to tell exactly because I usually pre-plan several at once, but usually takes me a couple of 'sessions' over several days to do a complete layout - though they're usually 2-pagers.

Depending on the amount of journaling and size of the cluster anywhere between 30 minutes and 1½ hour, I rarely use more, and if I do use more, I am hardly ever really happy with the page. I usually do my page in my head while looking through previews, and collecting the items I wanna use

[pawprints]

It takes me quite a while. I usually can never sit down and just complete a page, and unless I am doing digi most of my pages are double spreads. I'm slow and overly fussy. I'll let it sit for a few hours or even overnight and then look at it again to see if I like it before I glue anything down or print out the final pics. I suppose if I could just dedicate a whole day to just scrapping and nothing else, I could probably do a spread. I'm in awe of those of you that can get a layout done in 30 mins or an hour! That is awesome!

[naney1952]

I'm slow.....usually a few hours before I'm happy with it.

[Flasher]

I have never completed a layout in less than 2.5 hours. My average is 4 hours - I tend to overthink things.

[scrapy1967]

That depends sometimes a layout will come together in 15 or 20 minutes and sometimes one willl sit on my table for days before I figure out how I want it.

[Retiree3]

It generally takes me about an hour to finish a LO.

[jodcold]

I am usually slow, slow, slow.

[milmomma]

It generally takes me a day to do 3 layouts. I go back in forth with the computer and life. I can't sit for too long with the kids. Sometimes they flow and 20 mins and done. Other times I've pondered over the same page for a couple days.

[babykaykz1108]

Paper - 3 - 5 hours if not longer. (especially if sewing is involved) Digi - 15 minutes to 2 hours.

[Sandi0805]

That is a hard question. It depends on if I am using Cricut or Quickutz (which I do use alot). I usually do two page layouts so I would guess an average of 3hours once I have the layout planned.

[SarahA]

Probably an hour to an hour and a half usually. That's total working time- I usually have to check the computer, get a snack, take a break in the middle of things.

[deerewife]

It depends for me. If I'm using a sketch it's faster. Or if I use a kit it goes faster as I'm not searching for matching embellishments.

All told - probably a 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hours per layout. Now, it takes much longer than that at a crop where I'm chatting
