Probably not… there is a market for Scrapbooking kits… but creating the actual scrapbooks – that’s a personal thing… journalling in a scrapbook can be emotional or about the activities leading up to or after an event… you (as a professional scrapbooker) wouldn’t know or be able to capture those feelings or emotions.
There is a market for Scrapbooking Coaches – someone that helps people scrapbook or journal. Try becoming a Demonstrator!

I have had several people over the years ask me to do their scrapbooking for them. I always say no. I am emotionally invested in the things of my own that I scrapbook. I won’t have the same feelings for someone else’s things and so it won’t come out the same. It won’t mean anything to them if someone else scrapbooks it for them.

However, I’m sure there are tons of people who would love to have you scrapbook their things for them. I’m sure many would pay top dollar.

i would say so… i’m sure there are a lot of people who would love to have a scrapbook (particularly for their baby, and weddings) but just don’t have the time, or feel that they aren’t creative enough. if they were to do the scrapbooking themselves, the supplies alone would be pricey anyway. at that point, what’s the harm of paying more and having someone else do the work? if it’s your passion, go for it! what’s better than earning some extra money doing what you love? good luck.

Well it might be tough to make a living – but might bring you some extra money. Soooo many people are doing this on their own now…it’s a hobby it seems every single one of my friends and family are doing…so many just do it themselves, and if they don’t?…they have a friend or family member who will (for free or for the cost of materials…I’ve had 3 made for me already – as gifts). Sooo, there might be some market for it – but I wouldn’t think a very large one. …but for a little side job – little extra money from time to time…that you might well do. Good luck to you.

I know of a lady who does scrapbooking for people. Some of her clients are famous ie Shania Twain…and I can’t remember the rest. She charges around 125 per page.

Yes, but you would need to find a way to cut costs- that is very pricey.

Yes. I think a lot of people would love to have scrapbooks but don’t have the time to make them. That’s a really good idea.

I’ve got to say no.
