STEP ONE:
Hand over your memorabilia, photos, and scrapbook supplies (I know you have some hidden in a closet from a workshop you went to 10 years ago!!)
STEP TWO:
Choose your 12 x 12 album color from the Creative Memories website.
Available colors are: Chocolate, Cobalt Blue, Ebony Black, Bright Blue, Ruby, Pine, Pale Pink, Baby Blue, Hot Pink & Plumberry. Each album is $25.

Choose your Power Palette: http://www.creativememories.com/MainMenu/Our-products-and-services/Traditional-Scrapbooking/Paper/12×12-Power%e2%84%a2-Palette-Systems–Sets
These power palettes are designed to offer coordinating papers, stickers & embellishments to complete an entire album. Available palettes are: Black & White, Discover, Delight, Jewel, Primary & Simply Beautiful. Power palettes are $60.50.
STEP THREE:
Choose the style you’d like your album to be in. (see facebook or my website for specific style examples)
Style A – KEEP IT SIMPLE PLEASE – a page with a basic design, minimal amount of cropping and limited paper & stickers.
Style B – JUST A LITTLE MORE – pages with paper framed cropped photos, a few more stickers and maybe a title.
Style C – I LIKE A LOT! – creative pages of cropped photos, lots of stickers & paper!
OK Kristine, what is this really going to cost me…

FAQ:
Q: How long will it take to get my album once I give everything to you?
A: About 3-4 weeks. It takes about 5 days to get all the product from Creative Memories before I can start.
Q: Will you use things I already have?
A: Absolutely. If you already have an album you want to use or paper/stickers you’d like me to incorporate, I am happy to do so. For this type of service I charge an hourly rate of $20. (A basic album typically takes about 8-10 hours to complete, to give you a rough idea of what you’d be looking at)
Q: I’ve seen digital books online, can you complete one of these for me?
A: I can, but the nice thing about doing a traditional book, is that you can go back and add journaling to tell the stories if you’d like to. Once a digital book is printed, you can’t go back to add anything.
Q: This seems like a lot of money, can’t I do it for a lot cheaper?
A: NO. Let’s look at it this way. You have to buy the product anyways. The total cost for the basic product items is $165.00 including tax and shipping. That makes my charge to complete your basic album $75.00. Is that a deal? I think so.
What’s your time worth? Let’s say you work full time and want to spend the evenings and weekends with your family & friends. Your time is invaluable. Is it worth it to spend $75 to have something that your family will enjoy FOREVER? I think so.
Q: Can you make any other size albums?
A: Yes, I can do whatever you’d like, I just prefer the 12×12 album size myself. Creative Memories offers 12×15 albums, 8 1/2×11 and 8×8 albums as well.
