Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to make an album?

In most cases, production time is 4-6 weeks.  This allows a couple of weeks for ordered supplies to arrive and then 2-4 weeks to put it together.  Making multiple changes, back ordered products, etc. could elevate the total processing time.  In those cases, clients will be notified immediately.  Be sure to let us know if there is a special date or deadline.  Special orders can be expedited for an additional fee.

What format do we send photos?

Depending on the type of scrapbook you want, either .jpgs or printed photos are acceptable. For digital books, digital files are best.  However, I can scan photos at an additional charge.  With traditional albums, either digital files or printed photos are accepted.  If printing is required, a small printing fee will be added.




How involved can I be in the design process?



During our consultation, we will go over all your preferences and dislikes.  Any special requests that you have, we will do our very best to accommodate. On custom books, I will provide photos by e-mail of the layouts as they are completed for your approval.  Changes can be made at that time.  However, if you prefer for it to be a surprise for final reveal, we can do that.  Every project is unique and designed for your preferences.

In some cases, an album can be created without photos or journaling.  We do the whole design of the album and leave room for your personalization.  You can then add your own photos and write your own stories.  



Do you have packages or kits available?




I do have some coordinating packages available, though no two albums are exactly the same (unless requested).  With the Power Palettes that I purchase from Creative Memories, all the papers, stickers, & embellishments coordinate together, but the layouts are unique.  I am currently working on my own designs that will be available at a later date.  

What is the difference between digital, traditional, & PicFolio?


Digital albums are compiled using a digital program and printed in a bound book (soft cover or hard cover options).  Digital albums can be printed multiple times.  Traditional scrapbooks use printed photos on paper with decorative stickers, paper, and embellishments.  PicFolio is a high quality slide in photo album with some enhancements. 

How elaborate are the albums?  What if I just want something simple?

Any project can be done as simple or as elaborate as you like.  This is a preference to be discussed early in the consultation.  The goal is to preserve your photos, memories, and stories!

Is a deposit required?



Yes.  A quote will be provided prior to beginning a project.  Client must provide 50% deposit to start a project.  This will help pay for any materials or supplies needed.
