Carrie Lowe
The number of people who enjoy the latest form of scrapbooking, digital scrapbooking, all seem to have one thing in common. A hugely creative side that thrives on making almost anything that is crafty or unique. However, this also means that there are plenty of others who are not so talented and need a bit of additional help in order to actually create a digital scrapbook page that looks good. With this in mind, it is time to start looking for someone who can provide you with the elements and papers to create a beautiful scrapbook page. This often is what brings about the need to start looking for others to provide the pieces that you need to create your own digital scrapbook pages.

As a scrapbooking person who is skilled at creating items, papers and elements there are several ways that you can begin making money. If you take some time and consider these options, you are likely to think of a few additional ways that you can make some money as well, but this should be sufficient to help you get started towards earning a bit of money doing what you love.

Your first option is to actually sell your services. This would require you to talk to the client and get the pictures that they want used, as well as the overall idea of how the page should look when it is finished. It would then be up to you to create and provide to the client a final product. This can be extremely time consuming and would require a modest fee in order to compensate for the time that it would take to create each final digital scrapbook page.

Another option that you can explore, which is incredibly common, is to actually create digital scrapbook kits that you can sell. These tend to include such things as elements, which is the term for decorations and embellishments for the pages, papers, and even specialized alphabets that are designed to match the overall theme of a kit. There are many people who create and sell these kits for small amounts of money, frequently less than $5 each for a large pack that includes anywhere from 50 pieces, to as many as 150 pieces. By doing this method, you can sell the same kit repeatedly, and even run sales to have an ever growing stock of kits to sell.

If you find that creating the kits is something that you truly enjoy doing, there are many different places that you can arrange to sell which charge only minimal commissions that can help you advertise towards those who are looking for your creations. With a wide range of programs available that can be used for digital scrapbooking there are plenty of options and ways that you can get started making money on digital scrapbooking today.
