I usually spend between an hour and 2 on a layout counting the many distractions that I have while scrapping.

Man! I am slow... slow... SLOW! Best guess ... it usually takes me about 2 days (about 4 hrs ea day)!

Were any of you who are fast ever slow ... in other words has your speed increased over time? Goodness I hope so! Also for those of you who are fast ... do you often change colors of premade elements and manipulate things? Play with blend modes of layers, make some things yourself? I'm obsessive of about tweaking everything to suit my own purposes and I think that is really slowing me down. Course now you are going to say that you do all those things too and can still get a LO done in a hour! ::sigh:: I'm so SLOW!

I'll say slow....it takes me forever to figure out which kit to use and how I want it all laid out.....

i've had different seasons of speed. i've been a slow scrapper, while i was on the Digital Elite Team, i was scrapping so much that i became a medium scrapper.

for the last several months, i've generally gone back to being a slow scrapper. i've really enjoyed savoring, lingering over my different layouts.

okay, i have been thinking about this...i *think* i am a meduim scrapper...if i scraplift, then i am faster than if i creat a LO from scratch

I used to be extremely slow, but now I consider myself to be medium. I have learned lots of new tricks and tips over the years that have helped speed along the process, but I am still not fast, mainly because I go back and change things alot. I usually finish a layout in an hour or two, and in one sitting. It just depends on how the creative juices are flowing.

Another thing that has helped speed the process is my new love of templates, which really takes most of the guess work out of the layouts. I don't always use them, but they are fun and quick!

I am all rates! Sometimes I can finish a layout in under an hour and love it! Other times I could be here at the computer for two hours or more fussing over the smallest detail! lol

Im on average a medium, but it really does depend on how important the LO is. I tend to fiddle a lot with something that I want to be perfect for a special album, gift or competition but generally I do finish LO in one session .... some of the best ones tend to be the ones were I dont over think them...LOL should do that more often, turn of the brain and just follow the instincts....definately got quicker as I got more LO's under the belt....

I consider myself a slow scrapper ( is that a bad thing?) I like to take my time and make sure that everything looks just right...on the other hand, give me a deadline and I'm sure to get them done!
