Layout in 20 min?

[Jam-on-toast]

Can you? I have on a couple of occasions - as part of a challenge - though usually it takes me longer than that... And I've learned that I can only do it if a) I have the right photo and b) I have the right kit and I know the kit inside out.

So I was wondering if I could do it with one of the kits I've had for years - I got it back when Lorie Davidson was Studio Lorie at Scrapbookgraphics.com - the site that doesn't even exist anymore. Over the years I've created a number of layouts with it, so I thought I'd give this speed-scrap a try... Here is what I got...




This page took me 18 minutes to complete... but then I spent another 15 playing with the title... I really like the way Surf's Up - included in the kit - looks on the page, but it doesn't really relate to the rest of the layout, so I tried making my own word art. Well, you can see how well that went. Ha ha... So, can you do a layout in under 20 min?

Yours is great ... not happening for me. Lol.

I've only had it happen once or twice since I converted to PSCC from DIP. And then, it was with a template, and a much beloved kit. I wish I could do this,but on average it takes me 2-3 hours.

I love your layout especially that frame. My best time might be an hour & 20 minutes. Overthinking & perfectionism get in my way. Working on that in 2022!

When i know what i want to do and what i want to use, i can.
Sometimes it takes more time to choose a kit/find a picture than it takes time to scrap.
Challenges like the colour challenge take me a lot of time to find the right stuff.

I've never timed mine. But there are times when I run out of gallery space. Like we are only allowed 5 here. I'm sure I can probably make more than 5 pages in a day if I have. nothing else going on. I would have to time the next one I make.

My record s 1 hour and it was not a lay out I particular loved

ETA Love your lay out!

 

[Cherylndesigns]

LOVE your LO but not happening for me either. I'm not super slow, but I'm slower than that. LOL

 

[AZK]

Pfft. Never in a million years, lol. I'm a really slow scrapper.

 

[scribler]

No chance for me. Too indecisive. Lol

I do recognize it

 

[marijke]

Totally agree with Madi and Veer ....

I don't think I ever did one in 20 minutes, but when I was new to Oscraps (but not new to digiscrapping) I attended a speed scrap where we were given instructions one by one. I don't remember the time limit, maybe 30 minutes or an hour, but I think I got there a little late. I didn't have the problem of trying to find the right kit because I barely had any from the O. I was sorry that I ran out of time before I could do shadows, but otherwise I still think it isn't that bad.

I can do one in 20 but I prefer to take about 45 minutes to an hour, and not rush. Sometimes it will take longer than that if its a busy full page with lots of product.

Not me I am super slow!

Not bad at all... I like the bits of paper and the way the photos are arranged... as you said, this would just require another 10 min or so to add shadows...

Lol... I love you 'I can do 20 but prefer 45'... I would LOVE to be able to say 'I can usually do one in 45'...

I know... If I have the photos, I spend ages choosing the kit. If I have the kit - I can't seem to find the right photo or decide on page design...

 

[tanteva]

I have absolutely no clue how long it takes me to make a layout. Me and time are just not compatible. I have no sense of time & I have trouble even reading a clock. If I should guess how long it takes me to do a layout in average, I'd say 30 minutes. But ... not sure we can trust my estimation. At all. LOL

 

[Kythe]

If I did a LO in 20 minutes it wouldn't be worth keeping. lol I am a fiddler. I pick away at everything trying this and that. It takes me 20 minutes just to pick the right mask for a photo. I have all my masks in one place so I am not wasting time searching for where they are.

 

[zanthia]

never in a million years can i do a page that quickly

 

[margje]

I can do it! But most of the time I spend more time on the photo editing and the post processing! Most layouts take me about an hour or one and a half!

Same with me, Diane. It usually takes more time finding the perfect kit than it does to scrap! The Big Photo challenge is probably the quickest.....or using a template!

DON'T stop your photo editing just to get one done in 20 minutes! LOVE your photo editing!

 

[AnaSantos]

Great job in 20´, love your layout!! I don't know how long it takes me to make a layout but... it's a lot, LoL.

 

[Jam-on-toast]

Ana, your layouts are amazing... and I'm happy to hear you don't churn them out in 20 min each... it's reassuring to know people need time to create somethng beautiful!

This is true for me too...getting the photo right takes the most time.

 

[mywisecrafts]

Sometimes I can.... most times no.... I tend to be a perfectionist.

 

[LSlycord]

I would guess that most of mine, although quite simple, take at least an hour.

 

[Kythe]

Not a chance. Nope not going to happen.
