Answers to Your Questions...
1. Why “acid/linigin free” or “archival”?
Remembrance Scrapbooking is committed to helping you preserve and display your memories for a lifetime. In order to keep you photos and memorabilia safe from decay, deterioration, and fading, they must be preserved using acid and linigin free or archival quality products. This insures that your memories will stand the test of time. Products used in our designs, and especially those that touch your photos are of high archival quality.
2. Who does the “Journaling” for my album?
In any memory album, journaling is just as important as the photographs. It tells the story behind your smiles, and it is important to include names, dates, and places in your journaling as well. Each order comes with an archival pen, and each layout has designated space for you to fill in these special stories and moments of your life in your unique handwriting. Or, Remembrance Scrapbooking will do computer-generated journaling upon request.
3. What Happens during the initial consultation?
(Local Orders) The initial consultation can be set up at a place of your choice. This meeting, usually about one hour, will allow us to see your photos and discuss all the album possibilities with you. We will fill out record sheets containing all your preferences to insure that the finished product is about you! During this time you may also look through our portfolio albums to find styles and layouts that you especially like, or that would best fit your photos and memorabilia.
(Out-of-town Orders) Initial consultations can be set up via e-mail or telephone. During the consultation period, we will discuss your album possibilities and preferences and fill out record sheets to insure that the finished product is about you! After viewing sample pages on the web site, you may choose styles and layouts that you especially like, or that would best fit your photos and memorabilia.
4. What is the process for completing my memory album, and how do I get started?
First, you need to decide what photos you would like to preserve and display and set up an initial consultation with the designer. After this meeting, we will estimate the total cost for the project. Also, you are responsible for the cost of your album. However, if you purchase 10 or more layouts, you album is included in the cost. Next, You may then sign the Service and Payment agreement and 50% of the cost will be due as a down payment at this time. Remembrance Scrapbooking will then begin turning your photos and memorabilia into lasting memories. After the first several layouts are completed, we will email photographs of the layouts to you for approval and to ensure that we are keeping your interests in mind. After we receive your approval, we will complete your album within 2-6 weeks, depending on the size of your project. You will be notified when your album is complete, and the remaining balance on your account will be due at the time of delivery (for local orders) or before the item is shipped (for out-of-tow orders). Payments may be made via Paypal, cash, or money order/cahiers check. Once you receive the album, don’t forget to add your personal touch by journaling on each page .
