Scrapbooking is a way of life for me. I love creating and I LOVE giving scrapbooks as gifts. I love creating books for my customers and seeing the looks on their faces as they thumb through them for the first time. I love hearing them say, "I hate to give this one away!" when they've had one created for someone else. All of these things bring me a great deal of joy.
Talking about money? NOT my favorite thing - what's fun and creative about that? But here's the lowdown for you. I do not work off of a formal pricing list for my creative work. I quote each project on an individual basis, based on these pricing guidelines:
For 12 x 12 books:
I would charge "around" $125 for a book where I am creating pages for you and you are adding the photos afterwards. These books would be 20 pages in length (10 sheet protectors - double-sided).
For a 12 x 12 book that I have created for/around your photos where I am attaching the pictures as I go, my fee is going to be right around $225. This is a very labor intensive project as I shop for all papers and supplies to match your photos and purchase extra adhesives to attach your photos, etc. This "guideline" again is based on about 20 pages (10 sheet protectors). If I go over that amount, I will charge by the layout (2 facing pages). By meeting with you and looking at your pictures, I will quote you based on how many pages I think it will take.
For 8 x 8 books:
I would charge about $95 for an 8 x 8 book where I am creating pages for you and YOU are adding the photos afterwards. These books would be 20 pages in length (10 sheet protectors).
For an 8 x 8 book that I have created for/around your photos where I am attaching the pictures as I go, shopping for special papers, extra adhesives, etc. I would charge about $150.
The 12 x 12 and 8 x 8 fees are based on the purchase of a basic scrapbook/album ~ prices will be higher if you select a more expensive album, etc.
6 x 6 books:
I LOVE creating 6 x 6 books! These books are a quick and easy way to put a book together and get a lot of bang for your buck! These books tend to run about $50 (including photo placement!) and can be created promptly when you're in need of something FAST! Even if you're not in a hurry, a 6 x 6 album is a lot of fun in a little book! These books can be fun if you want to do duplicate/multiple albums too. For example, I created 4 6 x 6 albums a few years back for my daughter and her 3 closest friends. It was a lot of fun to create them and they loved them :)
Add-ons:
If you are going to be giving the album as a gift and would like to have it all packaged up and ready to go, I can do that for you! For $20.00 I will package it up in an appropriately themed gift bag, create a matching gift card for it and include a small package inside with a fresh roll of double-stick tape, instructions, and ideas for the person you are giving it to. It's kind of a fun way to "wrap it up"!
Time lines and Rush fees:
If you know you want to work with me soon, let me know! I do live a busy life between my family and creative ventures and it really helps to be able to know ahead of time, so that I can allow time for your scrapbook. If you need something done in a hurry I will try my absolute best to squeeze you in, but I will charge a $25 rush fee. I really need at least 2 weeks to complete an average project and 4 weeks to complete a project which includes adding photos, etc. And remember, my delivery/promise dates quoted to you may include delays if I am already in the middle of another project. As always though, I am here for YOU, and appreciate your business. I will ALWAYS try my best to meet your needs.
Special Project Combos: If you tell me what you need OR share an idea that you have, I can give you a custom quote. For example, I just worked with a nice lady named Louise who wanted a scrapbook as a special gift for her future daughter-in-law's bridal shower. She knew her daughter-in-law-to-be wanted to start scrapping herself... SO I put together a package which included an album with a few pages completed and the rest plain scrap pages (that she could add to), a gift certificate to "The Scrapbook Addict" so she could buy embellishments of her choosing, AND included a crop night with me to help her get going. We topped it off with "pretty packaging" and a matching gift card and Louise was ready to go to the shower with a truly unique gift! The ideas are endless - try me :)
Customer Supplied Scrapping Supplies:
If you have purchased products and are ready to finally put them to use but don't want to do it yourself, I can help you with that too. We would simply need to meet so that I can see what you have and then give you a quote.
