Does anyone have an idea of how to organize scrapbooking templates?

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 02:53:04 +0000

I have a bunch of scrapbooking templates that I use to crop photos, and I need a way to keep them organized. If you also love scrapbooking I would assume you would be able to help me the most, but I’m open to all suggestions!

I used to keep mine in 3-ring binders, because most of them came already punched with holes for storage. I recently changed my whole craft area and now use a filing cabinet. I’ve placed the templates in hanging folders, filed by shape: circles, hearts, squares, rectangles, and ovals. I usually know what shape I want before I pull out the templates, so it is just a matter of pulling that file and sizing the template to the photo.

How do start a monthly online scrapbook kit?

I know how to assemble them and order the product. I am just not sure how to get business. Like, how do I set up a nice website, and how do I advertise it to get business? How do I show up at the top when someone types in scrapbook Page Kits.

You really should develop some form of a business plan to start.

E-commerce packages are widely available depending on needs and budget. First, you will need a domain name that is not already in use – try Network Solutions. From there, you will also need a web hosting company to host your website — I recommend 1and1.com since they have a wide variety of tools at your disposal that are user friendly to a beginner.

Also, if you plan to build the site yourself you will need basic knowledge of HTML/CSS. If you don’t plan to build it yourself then a pre-packaged site such as Volusion or Homestead will be helpful to you.

You have to build the foundation before you even begin to think about how to market it correctly. Your business plan should help you address this — as you will need to decide your target market and how best to reach them through various media.

Showing up at the ‘top of the page’ refers to SEO — Search Engine Optimization. There are two ways to approach this: organic and paid search. Organic Search is based on the content and relevance of your site as it pertains to search keywords. This is a fueled by search engine methodologies. On the second hand business pay for keywords or search terms. The budget you set for these terms will affect your page ranking for a specific search. When users click on your ad you pay based upon your top bid for that keyword.

I recently rec’d a dozen stamps from my aunt who has moved on to something different. I have never incorporated stamping in my scrapbooking. Looking for any tips/techniques. Thanks!

I have used them to create a background on solid color cardstock.
For scrapbooking I like to emboss the image, it seems to show up better.
Try you public library. Mine has several books on stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafts. don’t forget to check the magazine section. You should be able to check out old issues

What are a few book books for digital scrapbooking beginners?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:59:01 +0000

I have been doing traditional scrapbooking for 9 years. I now want to start digital scrapbooking. The trouble is I have no clue on how to procede. I am also fairly cyber challenged. I do not just need a book for dummies but one for complete idiots. I have a photoshop CS2 program that I am just learning. I also have Corel Paint Shop Pro XI. Can anyone recomend a few books that will take me through each and every little step?
