I started out as a scrap booker. I never really paid attention to what each page cost until we had water damage and I was faced with replacement costs. When I started to calculate out the cost of the actual pg, the paper used, the cost of developing pictures,( and the cost of the film, if used) the embellishments, the ALBUM, the pg protectors..... It came to about $500 per album. AND that did NOT include the time to complete the Pages.
I'm very selective in who I give home made gifts to. If I don t think they will appreciate the time involved.... They aren't getting one!
