QuOTD? 4/18: S4H

[~*Kiana*~]

So do you Scrap4Others or have a S4H type of business?

[MurlieMac]

Nope!!! I don't have time to get all my own projects done. Maybe some day when I retire. Then again I think I would burn out creatively.

Not yet, but this is exactly what I had planned for my digital scrapping. So far, I've done a couple hundred of pages for myself and designed two kits to use for S4H, but that's it. I had a friend ask me to do a wedding album for her sister in August, so at this point, that will be my first "sale" lol. I hope it works out that I can drum up some more business before then, but I haven't been actively pursuing it either. I love to scrap other people's pictures, not quite as much as my own, but it adds a bit of pressure and excitement!

I've done a few free pages for friends, and while I like it, I'm always sitting in my head over analyzing, "will they like this" "is this a color they'd like" etc...so not sure I could do it for a business. I admit, back when I started I thought about it, but I think I get more satisfaction out of scrapping my own family's pics.

I would like to do that.

I have done several pages for family members....

I did a book for my grandma at my mom's request. I would be open to the idea, but I would have to wait until I retire in 20 years!

I do lots of pages for friends and family members as gifts, but no scrapping for hire. I particularly like to do mini-layouts that end up on mugs or other useful daily items. I don't know how I'd feel about it if someone wanted to pay me to scrap for them. . .

I have made gifts for people.

I just did a whole book for my mother for her 70th birthday. It was a lot of work. For the amount of time it took I would have to been paid $1,000 of more just based on the hours I put in.

My paper album gifts were too much time, but by making a few Plopper- or QC-style templates, you can alter them enough that nobody will know if it was the same sketch turned on its side. Saves a bunch of time!

People have asked to have me scrap for them, but I refused. For me, it would take all the fun out of scrapping. This way there are no complaints either.

Nope! Ive had two other hobbies that I turned into home businesses and burnt myself out with each one so much so that I dont want to ever have anything to do with either of those crafts again Keep the enjoyable hobby an enjoyable hobby is my motto now

What hobbies did you turn into businesses?

I've done a few S4H pages but if they are willing to pay me to cover the product license and my time. Mostly if I scrap for others it is to be given as a gift to them.
