I am talented at creating digital scrapbooking pages. Friends and family have suggested that I should sell my work. I am fairly certain that there is a need out there for this sort of service because many people do not have the time/inclination to scrapbook but would like a finished photo album of their memories.
I was wondering how I should go about advertising my services beyond word of mouth. I was thinking about creating a webpage but I don’t know how to promote it. I was thinking about creating flyers in my neighbourhood. I am not sure what else I could do. Any suggestions?
Good questions, I have a scrapbook business and I am always trying new ways to advertise.
My first suggestion is networking word of mouth is the best advertisement because it is a testimonial of your great work and people are more receptive if they know someone that recommended you.
A website is the business card of the new Millennium and a great way to display your work, you can find some web page sites that have a easy to use templates to help you set your site up http://www.homestead.com . Another option is to start a blog which is free and a great way to share your work and promote yourself http://www.blogger.com .
Another good tool is the old classic business card and flyer’s. I carry them around and give them to anyone I meet Vista print offers free business cards and great templates http://www.vistaprint.com .
My latest advertisement idea is a monthly newsletter featuring new products, events, product specials, and other scrapbook information I believe is worth sharing.http://scrapbookmemorias.blogspot.com
I guess the best suggestions is keep trying new things scrapbooking is great hobby and is becoming very popular teaching others how to preserve precious memories is important and I congratulate you on your efforts. Good Luck and feel Free to check my website and contact me for more information. http://memorias.memory-works.com .

I am just getting into scrapbooking due to the new addition in my family. I am wondering, when you go out and purchase the nice pretty background paper, do you glue that to the provided white paper of the scrapbook or do you omit the white paper and just use the pretty paper?
I have chosen to not glue anything to the scrapbook white board. I figured if I need to change my mind on order of the pages, it’s impossible with something glued to both sides. So I just get a background paper and attach everything to that, then slide it in (in front of the white page). If you mean, do you utilize the white paper as part of the background, and just decorate the white paper…no, I don’t do that either. I like lots of decoration and cover every square inch.
Either way, your choice.
I have a bunch of scrapbooking templates that I use to crop photos, and I need a way to keep them organized. If you also love scrapbooking I would assume you would be able to help me the most, but I’m open to all suggestions!
I used to keep mine in 3-ring binders, because most of them came already punched with holes for storage. I recently changed my whole craft area and now use a filing cabinet. I’ve placed the templates in hanging folders, filed by shape: circles, hearts, squares, rectangles, and ovals. I usually know what shape I want before I pull out the templates, so it is just a matter of pulling that file and sizing the template to the photo.
The art of paper crafts and scrapbooking is becoming very popular these days with people of all ages. Join scrapbooking enthusiasts Bettie Luper and Michelle Keeth who will teach you the basics of this exciting hobby as well as tips and the tools you’ll need to become a pro.

I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?
There are tons of good message boards out there that will help you. Scrapgirls is a very good one that comes to mind. They also have online tutorials for some of the software. Check them out! www.scrapgirls.com
