Getting paid to scrapbook isn’t as easy as people think. It’s true that a scrapbooking business doesn’t require as much capital funds as other Internet businesses. But that doesn’t mean you’ll immediately have money pouring in. If you wish for your scrapbooking home based business to work, you need to think of it just like any other Internet business and devote to it a lot of your time and effort.
5 Ways to Get Paid to Scrapbook
If you don’t possess ALL of the following characteristics then it’s very unlikely that you’re suited to successfully run a scrapbooking home based business or even to just get paid to scrapbook.
Imagination / Creativity – Although you can make templates of your designs, some or many of them will soon run out of favor with your clients. These designs will have to be “retired” and replaced with something new, and herein lie the most important question: are you sure you can consistently create new, attractive, and unique designs for your business?
Scrapbooking is an art. It’s not a science. You need to show a flair for creativity for each and every aspect of your design. You need to be willing to explore the very limits of your imagination. So are you ready to do that?
Diligence and Patience – Scrapbooking is hard work. If you’ve been doing this for a long time, you should know that by now. But making a scrapbooking project for yourself and your loved ones is entirely different from doing a scrapbooking project for profit. There is no emotional motivation to ensure you work diligently on the project. Money and maybe a sense of achievement and pleasing someone are the only motivational factors you’ll get, but are they enough for you?
Scrapbooking isn’t governed by objectivity. It’s an art, after all. In mathematics, you add one and one and get two. There’s no other right answer than that. But in scrapbooking, what you may think is gorgeous may appear gaudy to others. There will be times that you and your customer will not be able to see each other eye to eye. When this happens, can you exhibit the required patience to see things through till the end of the project?
Pressure – Making scrapbooking projects can be high-pressured tasks. There’s the deadline, for instance. Because you’re creating scrapbooking projects for others and for profit, it’s what they say that matters. Customers will always want a deadline: you have to give it to them and meet it. And of course there are the expectations from your customers: you need to ask clearly what they expect from you and determine if you’re ready and able to meet all these.
Business Mind – Never forget that even if a scrapbooking home business allows you to earn money from your hobby or artistic talent, it is still essentially a business. A business can’t survive if it doesn’t profit. To obtain profit, your income must be more than your expenses.
Are you prepared to handle the business front of your scrapbooking business or will you have someone manage this aspect for you? Either way, you must be sure that your scrapbooking business can satisfy the following conditions.
Firstly, your scrapbooking must have competitive pricing. You must determine just how much you can reasonably charge for items. Determine how much would appeal to your target market. What other pricing strategies can you employ to attract more customers to your business?
Speaking of target markets, do you know who it is your scrapbooking home based business will best appeal to? For that matter, do you wish to work with a general market or carve a niche for yourself?
Someone has to handle the accounting aspect of your business if you’re not prepared for it. Like other businesses, yours have to pay taxes regularly. Performing financial accounting will also let you know if you’re earning or not.
Fourthly, determine your goals for the business. You must have vision and direction. You need to have something to work for because your business won’t survive for long without a plan.
Last but certainly not the least, you need to develop and implement the necessary marketing strategies to make your scrapbooking business more well-known.
Internet Savvy – Home based businesses in general flourish and succeed more in the virtual world. If you want better ROI and greater access to the market, you need to develop your Internet marketing skills to create a formidable online presence for your scrapbooking business.
If you have all these then congratulations! You’re definitely suited to having your own scrapbooking home based business!

There are so many scrapbooking supplies out there that it can be difficult to know where to start. As you do more and more scrapbooking you will start to put together many items into a kit. You can start your kit with the 10 items below. They are tried-and-true tools that belong in the arsenal of every serious scrapbooker.
*A Scrapbooking Album*
This one’s a no brainer, you can’t scrapbook without an album. There are a wide variety of them out there in different shapes and sizes. Be sure to pick one that matches your theme and colors. If you take the time to find the perfect one it will make all the difference in your project.
*A Pair of Scissors*
A nice, sharp pair of scissors is a must for the serious scrapbooker. In fact, we recommend having a pair that is only used for your scrapbooking. That way you won’t have to deal with lost or dull scissors.
*Adhesives*
You certainly don’t want your scrapbook pieces falling apart on you. Unfortunately, that might be exactly what happens if you chose the wrong adhesive. As a rule, any kind of children’s glue or cheap gluesticks will cause problems. Some of the best adhesives are photo tab dispensers, and double sided tape runners. Whatever adhesive you chose, make sure that is acid-free.
*Tweezers*
Unless you want to get your hands messy and smudge up your scrapbook pages you’ll need some tweezers. They make placing small pieces on your scrapbook a snap.
*Scrapbook Paper*
Make sure the size of your scrapbook paper matches the size of the album you are using. Great scrapbooking paper will be also be acid-free and may be described as buffered or lignin-free. Card stock is also a great paper to have around as it can be used for many things related to scrapbooking.
*Pen*
A good pen is also a must for scrapbooking. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just a basic black pen that is acid-free. You may want to add more pens with different colors as your scrapbooking kit grows.
*Paper Trimmer*
A paper trimmer is a necessary tool for cutting straight and making squares. There are several different sizes of trimmer and all of them are useful. It’s probably best to start with a 12″ paper trimmer but you may also want to get a smaller one for portability reasons.
*Eyelet Setter Kit*
Some of our favorite scrapbooks use eyelets for embellishments. Without an eyelet setter kit you won’t be able to use these handy little guys. Fortunately they are easy to find online or at most craft stores. They are also affordable.
*Embellishments*
These are the little things that give a scrapbook character: Stickers, eyelets, buttons, charms, etc. Go for embellishments that match the theme of your scrapbook. Have fun collecting these!
*A Great Scrapbooking Book*
Need some scrapbooking ideas? You’ll usually be able to get some inspiration if you have a good idea book around. Becky Higgins and Tracy White are both authors who have written some fantastic books on the subject of scrapbooking.

Not only is scrapbooking a fun hobby and a great way to save and display your own personal family photos, you’ll find that scrapbooking makes perfect gifts for friends and family. Since scrapbooks are personal items, you may not find them suitable for acquaintances, unless you are creating custom scrapbooks for another person. For example, someone in your work place may ask you to create a scrapbook for someone who is retiring. You’ll be amazed how once people find out about your talent and passion for scrapbooking, that everyone will want one. But in general, you’ll find that creating scrapbook gifts for your parents, siblings, children, and close friends is an excellent gift and one that is greatly appreciated.

One of the fun parts of creating scrapbooking gifts are in gathering resources and research. This is one project that you can’t expect to complete on your own. A close accomplice is essential. You’ll have to brush up on your sleuthing skills and take out your detective cap as you whisk photos away from your intended recipients. With a computer and scanner, you can copy photos without anyone ever noticing and have the perfect images for completing your projects. Be sure to take current photos as well. It’s also a great idea that you always leave some blank scrapbooking pages. This way, your recipient can choose to add several photos of his or her own to the scrapbook. A surprise scrapbook makes an excellent gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and retirements.

If you don’t like surprise, or simply feel that it will be too difficult to get the photos that you need without the recipient being aware of your intentions, you may want to let the recipient know that you are planning on creating a scrapbook for them as a gift. This way, they can be included in the planning process and will help choose the photos that they want included. You won’t need to feel uncomfortable about this. People love to receive scrapbooks and it isn’t the element of surprise that makes these gifts special, it is the time and skill that you will invest in the project that makes them endearing. So, make sure that you spend plenty of time beforehand determining if it would be better to keep the gift a surprise, or whether you would like to enlist the services of the recipient. You may find that it is just simpler, easier, and results in a better gift to have the recipient select the content for the scrapbook.

Another scrapbook gift that you may want to let the recipient know you are planning on making is a bridal/wedding scrapbook. The bride to be will be more than delighted with the gift and will gladly share her collection of pictures, treasures, and sentimental items for the scrapbook. This is another gift where you will want to leave a few blank pages to ensure that the bride can include some of her most treasured and personal moments.

Holiday scrapbooks are also excellent gifts. These can be created without the help of the recipient. Since these scrapbooks do not necessarily need to reflect momentous milestones in a life, you can use current photos and create the scrapbook as a memory book for events that transpired during that holiday season. These make excellent surprise gifts and are treasured for years to come. There are numerous embellishments that are available to accessorize holiday inspired scrapbooks. There is no doubt about it, no matter what the occasion, scrapbooks make perfect gifts.

If you’ve ever wondered how scrapbooks began you’re not alone. Most people are familiar with the photo album and understand that once the camera enabled people to have their own photos, these photos were stored and organized in a sensible manner. However, scrapbooks are a bit more detailed than photo albums. Scrapbooks also contain other information, documents, text, and images than mere photographs. In fact, the art of scrapbooking includes using other items that are appropriate for the subject and displaying them in a creative and beautiful manner. Scrapbooks are much more than photo albums. They have the ability to tell a story, and are comparable to journals with photos. They are true memory books and are very sentimental. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “Every picture tells a story,” well, scrapbooks provide the room to “tell the story” alongside the photo.

The inherent wonder and beauty of scrapbooks is found in the fact that generations may not only view the photos as they would in a family photo album, but have a theme, style, and journalized information to help explain the photos as well. Since scrapbooks are often customized and designed according to a theme, it makes it much simpler and more organized for readers to understand what was taking place in each photo.

However, what may be interesting to realize, is that scrapbooking is in fact older than photo albums. Before there were cameras and family photos, there were news clippings, magazine stories, drawings, notes, and memorabilia. These items were often arranged and displayed in books and the art of scrapbooking was formed. It is said that both Mark Twain, the writer, and Thomas Jefferson, the politician, were both avid scrapbookers. They kept close journals, records, and details of their lives by creating scrapbooks that displayed personal memorabilia.

Not only is scrapbooking a step above the traditional family photo album, scrapbooks are also very popular for those who are involved in genealogy. In the past, these scrapbooks were referred to as memory books, and they were used to document family journeys across generations. It was only logical that these books would contain personal information to help explain the nature of each memorabilia that was included.

Scrapbooks offer many more advantages than traditional photo albums. The way scrapbooks are displayed, the ability to create books with themes, and the ability to pour out your own creativity, heart, and soul into your scrapbook is a benefit not provided with photo albums.

Another important aspect of scrapbooking is that old photos that are in traditional photo albums are often displayed in paper that contains acid. Over a period of years, this paper deteriorates and leaves the photos to become damaged. It is imperative that old photos are removed from these albums and displayed in safe, acid free binders or papers. Many people are choosing to replace photo albums with scrapbooks to not only protect their sentimental photos, but to combine them with journaling and other important memorabilia. The popularity of scrapbooking continues to rise as more people discover the benefits and advantages of using scrapbooks as compared to photo albums.

Scrapbooking Printable Design worth $27 “Instant Scrapbooking Guide For Beginners Who Hate Too Many Scrapbooking Jargon!”

Your honeymoon in Hawaii was simply an occasion made in heaven. You’ve just spent 2 weeks in the most beautiful tropical paradise you’ve ever been to, and now you’d like to capture those memories in one handy, convenient place. Your friends are suggesting that you start a scrapbook album, but you don’t even know how to make one! Scrapbook albums can be a lot of fun to make, even if you have never tried one before. So how exactly do you make scrapbook albums? Let’s look at the process, step-by-step.
First, the basics. Scrapbook albums come in a variety of materials, sizes, and styles. The primary step in creating scrapbook albums is choosing the album itself. Some of the costly ones usually are made of leather. But since important albums, like your honeymoon scrapbooks, are valuable, however, you may feel like selecting a high-quality and hard-wearing leather album for yours, so don’t scrimp on it if you can help it! Cloth-covered scrapbook albums are also a good alternative, however. The fabric used in these albums is usually book cloth, so you can rest assured that it is strong. Cheap scrapbook albums are also obtainable, if you want reasonably-priced ones to begin with. These are typically made of heavy cover stock, plain or covered with paper.
Standard scrapbook albums have a utilizable page size of 12×12 inches. The scrapbook album itself may measure 13×14 inches or more, but part of that is the book’s spine. Some scrapbook albums can get bigger, as big as 18×20 inches. As a beginner, you may feel like choosing your first album from standard-sized scrapbooks, given that the majority of scrapbook supplies are prepared to that standard.
The assortment of scrapbook album designs has also flourished together with the growth of scrapbooking’s popularity. Plain cover scrapbook albums now come in many colors. Some scrapbook albums may have a military-themed cover, while others might have a fun cartoonish theme, with popular cartoon characters embellished on the cover. Tropical scrapbook albums, which you might prefer for your Hawaii honeymoon, would be gorgeous in scrapbook albums with a vivid red or blue Hibiscus-patterned cloth cover.
Once you have selected the scrapbook album, you now have to arrange the pictures and memorabilia you will apply. Pay attention to the subject matter of each piece in addition to the colors. Honeymoon scrapbook albums already have an overall theme – the honeymoon! Your subsequent step will be to settle on sub-themes for each 2-page spread. For example, you might have a theme of your arrival at Hawaii, with approach photos of the island from the air. This theme could also include photos taken upon landing.
Outline the rest of your photos, deciding on a subject matter for each spread. You may want some legroom for notes and other elements you would like to insert later, so don’t give in to the temptation of packing your scrapbook pages with photos. You might furthermore decide to add a bit of torn paper underneath the photos to set them off from the backdrop. On some pages, you may fancy placing a paper frame around the photos.
Whewn the photos are all arranged and affixed to your liking, it’s time to add your notes, or “journalizing”. These notes are nothing more than captions to give details about the photos in your album. You may want to cherish a special memory of what was said when a certain photo was taken – or a comment about what happened right away before or after. Your comments can be added on little pieces of paper that are added to scrapbook albums, much like how photos are added.
Embellishments, charms, stickers, and other small pieces that add interest and personality to your scrapbook will be the final touch in creating scrapbook albums. You can pick out the decorations and embellishments you’ll put on your scrapbook depending on the theme you’re using. Honeymoon scrapbook albums might include small hearts or kisses. Hawaiian scrapbook albums, or other tropical scrapbook albums, might include small sandals or seashells.

Digital Scrapbooking is becoming very popular. It is a way to share photos with friends and family, that allows for creativity just as in traditional scrapbooking and plays into the technology driven world that we live in. Digital scrapbooking is becoming increasing popular among traditional scrapbookers and newbie scrapbookers due to the increased quality, decreased expense and mess as well as the ability to share final projects easily with others.

One of the obvious benefits of digital scrapbooking to the traditional scrapbooking is the physical mess that it does not create. With traditional scrapbooking, creators have to either have enough space in their home to leave their supplies and tools out or have enough storage space and containers. Problems arise with both, potentially dangerous tools lying around for children to get into and the hassle of putting everything in or out of storage mid-project are obvious deterrents. The other important thing to mention is the physical clean up. As many scrapbookers know, getting into a project provides an easy distraction from noticing the paper clippings and pieces of string, buttons and items spreading across the work area. Digital scrapbooking also minimizes the work area, to a computer screen.

The next great thing about digital scrapbooking is the cost, or lack there of. Yes, you can spend a lot of money on digital scrapbooking if you want, but you do not have to. The first money saving aspect is that of tools and supplies. There are many scrapbookers that have endless tubs of tools, cutting devices, hole punchers, rubber stamps, ink pads, paper supply, ribbon, buttons, pins, stickers and the list goes on. The supplies for digital scrapbooking can often times be found online for free or created with graphic and photo software. The biggest cost of digital scrapbooking is usually related to finding a computer program to use. Photo programs can run from $50-300, but many provide free downloadable trials so you can be certain of your investment. One could run into a some expenses when it comes to equipment like digital cameras, scanners and printers, but most people are likely to already own most of this equipment.

One of the best things about digital scrapbooks is just that, it’s digital. The digital platform allows corrections and additions to be made easily. How easy is it to physically change an actual hand-made scrapbook page, its not. In fact, attempting to do so may ruin the page all together, wasting a lot of time and resources. Digital scrapbooks are also extremely popular because of their ’share-ability’ (is that a word?). The satisfaction in scrapbooking in two-fold: seeing the final product and sharing the final product. You can share your scrapbook with all those around you. With digital scrapbooks, you can share with those around the world. Have family members living cross country, or grandparents that can get enough details about their grandchildren? You wouldn’t want to risk mailing your piece of art to them.

As mentioned a minute ago, one of the greatest things about scrapbooking, is being able to see it in completion. To have something physical that looks good, is personal and gives you a sense of accomplishment. Digital scrapbooks do not take this away. There are many websites, scrapbooking companies and even photo labs that can print your pages or even an entire book, printed & bound.

Digital scrapbooking provides many of the perks of traditional scrapbooking but with added ease, lower cost, with just as much of a creative outlet. It also has many benefits that traditional scrapbooking does not have, making it the choice for many. If you are looking for a project that is enjoyable to build, personal and fun to share, digital scrapbooking may be for you.
