Scrapping takes lots of time. I've found some ideas online for cutting down on the time it takes.
- Use sketches or instructions.
- Scraplift someone (even yourself).
- Try to do little tasks whenever you can, like planning or drafting journaling during downtime at (shhh) work.
- Give up the idea of being "perfect," let the stories & the creative process/enjoyment be more of the focus
- When things work, GLUE IT DOWN. Don't agonize over 15 more element options if you found something that works.
- Do summary LOs like month in review, year in review so you don't feel pressured to "keep up." Then you can take your time with the day to day pages without being "behind."
-Organize your supplies so you can visually see your stuff. It will make things easier to find.

I'd love to hear YOUR ideas to save time with scrapbooking.

I like setting an Iris case on my table with a set of photos & a sketch. I add paper & embellishments when I have a few minutes to spare. Then when I'm ready to scrap, I have a kit all put together. I'll also grab the box & bring to bed so I can work on handmade flowers or fussy cut items if it's in my plan.
