Getting To Know You: How Long to Finish a LO?

[faerywings]

Is it just me or is the clock in the graphic taunting you too?

I imagine most of us will answer, "it depends." For me, it depends mostly on how well the creativity is flowing more than anything. I can be working on a simple, single photo/clean design page and have it take *days* until I feel it is done. Other pages might be technically difficult but I can finish in an hour or so.
My bottom line answer: Anywhere from an hour to three days.
Is that helpful? Can you relate?​

an hour to 4 years..(but that was the vector work I did

I agree with Nickel.It also depends on the other stuff that I have on my chores list.I sort of feel that the longer I work on a layout, may not factor into the finished quality. If I just keep adding and subtracting, sometimes I just start over.

I don't always finish in one sitting but generally I'll get a page done in about an hour but if the design doesn't really come to me quickly then I might have to spend more time moving things around until it looks right to me.

 

[tjscraps]

Generally about an hour, unless what's on TV is really good and distracts me, or if I'm blocked on an idea lol

 

[taxed4ever]

Used to take me an hour or two, now its more like a week or two LOL I have too many other things on the go and flit around from one to the other never getting anything finished!!

Oh, my, it totally depends on my mojo and the kit. I can whip one up in a few minutes and sometimes, I start on a layout in the evening and don't finish it until the next day. How's that for an answer??? LOL

Part of my ADHD is that I have absolutely no understanding of time. So ... your guess is as good as mine. LOL

too long - about 1 -2 hours

 

[BrightEyes]

Usually about an hour - not counting the time to find photos for it... Other times it may take a few hours.

I do not look at the clock when i scrap
Sometimes it goes real fast and sometimes real slow

 

[timounette]

Most of the time around two hours (for a clean and simple page !)

 

[AZK]

At least a couple of hours, usually more. I often struggle with getting what is ending up on my screen to look like the vision in my head.

I hear ya and I don't have ADHD. The past two years have killed any sense of time passing. Days/weeks/months/years-- all the same in my little world!

Please tell me you meant to type *not* too long!

I would love to be able to consistently scrap a page in 1-2 hours.

Yaaaaassss!!! That is how I am too and it almost always ends up being not "quite right."

Which is why you'll never see me at a Speed Scrap!
