Why should I get a custom scrapbook made?

CREATING A LEGACY
A scrapbook showcases your treasured photos and preserves your important memories. Have you ever found an old family photo and wondered, "Who is that? Where was this taken? When?" Creating a scrapbook won't leave your loved ones guessing and it will help to pass on your legacy to the ones you love.

PROTECTING PRECIOUS MEMORIES
Scrapbooks also help to protect your photos over time. If your photos are in shoe boxes or magnetic photo albums, they are deteriorating over time. In order to ensure the longevity of your photos, it is imperative that you store them in an archival/photo safe box or scrapbook. Rest assured, Creative Corner Designs' scrapbooks are all "acid and lingin free", making them 100% photo safe.

A SOUND INVESTMENT
In the age of technology, many people invest large sums of money on digital cameras. Often times, these photos are stored on a personal computer or left in the paper envelopes from the developer. Don't throw your money away! More importantly, cherish these beautiful memories by bringing them to life in a scrapbook.

IDEAL GIFT GIVING
Lastly, having a scrapbook made for someone is the perfect way to show them how deeply you care for them. With every turn of the page, your gift will bring happiness and nostalgia.

 Why do custom scrapbooks cost so much?

Having a unique, personalized scrapbook created for you is a custom service. I take a great deal of time creating the perfect scrapbook which accurately reflects your personality, beliefs and emotions. Every one of our scrapbooks is an original piece of art. With custom work, comes an increase in cost. I am confident that your completed scrapbook will be worth every penny and you will consider your finished product to be priceless.

 I'd like to give a scrapbook to someone as a gift, but, I don't have any photos to include. How can you help?

It's easy. A custom gift scrapbook is perfect for any occasion. We create a scrapbook, customized for your specific event/theme, leaving room for the photos. All the gift recipient would have to do is add the photos. It is the best way to give a unique and thoughtful present for a birthday, bridal or baby shower.

 I thought I would have time to scrapbook, but I don't. I bought some supplies but never used them. Can I transfer my supplies to you and have you create the scrapbook for me?

Sure. Contact us for a consultation and price quote. We will go over what supplies you already have and we'll determine if any further purchases need to be made.

 How many pictures can I include in my scrapbook?

It depends on the size of your scrapbook, how I design your layout and crop your photos. Here are some basic guidelines:

12" x 12" Scrapbook:
Approx. 3-5 photos per page/Up to 100 photos per scrapbook

8½" x 11" Scrapbook:
Approx. 1-3 photos per page/Up to 60 photos per scrapbook

6" x 6" Scrapbook:
Approx. 1-2 photos per page/ Up to 40 photos per scrapbook

 Is there a minimum purchase for invitations or announcements?

No, whether you want 5 invitations or 50, we will gladly accept your order.

 Can a greeting card be sent directly to the recipient on my behalf?

Providing that you allow ample time when ordering, we can send a card on your behalf to arrive when you request. Please note: There is an additional fee for postage/shipping and handling.

 Do your cards have wording included on the inside?

We leave the inside of our cards blank in order for you to add your own personal message. We are able to add your own brief message/poem etc. to your card at no additional cost to you.

 What if I want something made but I don't see an example of it on your website?

Please contact us. We are a custom business. The samples in our gallery, are just that, samples! At Creative Corner Designs, we love to take on new creative challenges. More times than not, we will be able to accommodate your request.

 I live outside of the NY area. Can I still place an order with you?

Absolutely! Our initial consultation can be conducted in person, over the phone or via e-mail. If you are interested in having a scrapbook made, we can arrange to have your photos and memorabilia mailed to us. Your completed project will be packed with the utmost of care and will be mailed back to you. Please Note: There is an additional fee for postage/shipping and handling.

 How long will it take to finish my custom order?

During our initial consultation, we will discuss your timeframe and will set a reasonable date for completion.

I ask that you allow 4-6 weeks for large custom orders (ex. 12x12 custom scrapbook, 100+ Invitations). Smaller scrapbook orders, custom gifts and invitations can usually be completed within 2-3 weeks. Greeting cards can be created within 48 hours.

Your project timeline will be based on how intricate your order is and my current custom workload . Please allow extra time for shipping. RUSH ORDERS are available. There is an additional fee for this type of service.

 How do I place an order?

Please click on "How To Order" located on our welcome page and follow the instructions.

 What methods of payment do you accept?

Money order or personal check. Please Note: All personal checks must clear prior to the initiation of work and the receipt of your completed order.
