Do I need to be organized?

A complimentary consultation can get you started in the right direction. I will assess your needs and give you a proposal based on the material you would like to scrapbook. I can help you get started in the organization process or organize for you.

Are services available outside of Northern Virginia? 

ABSOLUTELY!
Your consultation will be via email, phone or in person. Traveling to your site can be arranged as part of my service if out of state.  All digital images can be emailed or provided on a flash drive. All traditional photos or memorabilia can be shipped. Return shipping will be done by USPS, UPS or Fed Ex. Shipping charges are not included in the package price.

Can photos be scanned?

Photo scanning services are available for any project and a quote will be given upon request.

What is a traditional and digital album?

Traditional albums incorporate printed photos, paper, and embellishments and are adhered to the page with photo safe tape. Digital album pages include all digital media (photos, paper and embellishments), are created with a digital scrapbooking program and each page is printed as a single sided 12×12 photo on photo paper. Each photo page is adhered to a scrapbook page or put in a top loading sleeve. Coffee table books can be created from digital pages through www.blurb.com or the website of your choice.

How many photos can fit in an album? 

Traditional pages can hold 4 to 6 photos. Albums hold a maximum of 45 double-sided pages (up to a total of 540 photos). Digital pages can hold 1 to 12 photos of varying sizes. Digital pages are printed one-sided, and a thirty page album can hold between 30 and 360 photos.

Will my photos be cropped?

Cropping or cutting of traditional and digital photos is an important part of the scrapbooking process. Photos may be cropped to better focus on the main image in the picture. You may request photos not to be cropped.

How will memorabilia be attached in traditional albums? 

Memorabilia will be attached in top/side loading sleeves, custom sleeves or photo-safe corners attached to the page. Some memorabilia may be permanently attached to the page with permission.

Can I include memorabilia in a digital album?

Yes, anything that can be digitally scanned can be included in your scrapbook. If an item can’t be scanned I can include it on a traditional page within the album or in a side/top loading sleeve.

What types of albums are available?

 Album choices will be presented when choosing a package. You may also separately purchase and provide an album of your choice.

What type of paper and embellishments will be used?

Theme appropriate paper (archival if requested) and embellishments will be used. You may choose a certain color palette for your album.

Do you have supplies that you would like to use in making an album?

Any and all of your supplies can be used for the completion of your project. The price will be changed accordingly when a customer provides materials and the album.

Can a memorabilia album be created with cards and notes?

Almost anything can be put into an album. I can incorporate cards, invitations, baby memorabilia, and other items. Please contact me to see if your memorabilia can be placed in an album.

Will copies be made of my photos or scrapbook pages?

Traditional albums cannot be copied. I retain a backup copy of your digital albums and photographs in case you would like to have more copies or additional albums printed in the future. However, I will NOT use any of your photos without your permission. Proofs of your album pages will be available via Dropbox.com

Is a deposit required to start a project?

A deposit of 50% of the package price is due to start your project.

How long will the project take to complete?

Projects are custom and based on the amount of photos/memorabilia submitted. I will provide an estimated completion date at the start and updates throughout your project.
