GETTING STARTED

As a consumer you get to make all of the final decisions but I am here to help. Everyone has their own style and it is interesting to see different people's tastes in scrapbooking. That is why the consultation phase is so important. I will throw up some suggestions but if it is not what you want then it's important you stop me right there.

So where will we start? First what product do you want? It may be something as involved as a scrapbook with lots of journalling to capture stories from your past. It might be a photobook showing off your wonderful family snaps... or a wall canvas to show off a lovely photograph. Heck it may even be something as simple as a mousepad or a coffee mug. I use Snapfish.com.au to print my products and if you have a wander through their website you will get some idea of the multitude of products they offer.

Once you know what you want we can start looking at the style you'd like. There are so many ways to go here and sooooooo many kits to use... There are very clean cut pages with big photos, clear fonts and minimal elements. There are rich, element full pages with loads of clustering. There are bright, fun pages that leap out at you (always good for the kids!). The list is endless and I am happy to direct you to some of the main digi-scrapping sites so you can see what is on offer out there in the big, bad world if you are confused.

That done... we move on to the actual pages. I will email you drafts of each one seeking your feedback and allow two modifications on each. Once the project is completed and approved by you and payment has been received I will place the order with Snapfish and advise you of time frames etc.
