I love to scrapbook as we all do but I am at a point in my life where I don’t want just any job. I want a job that means something to me and the people I can help. And this industry if very family friendly and thats where my very first priority is right now and my business second. I’m excited to share my love for the art and business of scrapbooking. There are many sites out there but this one has filled so many of my needs and is done with a great deal of integrity. Thank you for such a wonderful site.

I am just starting my business and need all the help I can get. I would love to win a subscription so I can jump start my business and be a success as a scrapbook artist! Thank you!

I seem to have less time every month… where does it go… I am thinking, to things that can be done quicker & smarter, so I think I need to spend more time reading & studying… but where do I get the time…
reading the little I can here though you is helping some, but I have so far to go…
reading the chance to get a lifetime access just sent a push though me making me want it so here I am writing why I want it… LOL
I am a photographer by trade & have crafted & designed for some years now… I have a site now & will be having a shoppe there by early spring… myself & my partner have had to learn alot just to get it up & running & the shoppe ofcourse is a bit more detailed… but I have high hopes that along with this I will soure to new hights…
now working many hours at the computer doing designing for crafts & scrapbooking I so need to learn more about the business end of it all… funds are not present at this time to put out any amounts to purchase these tools, so I am hoping this will give me that little edge to great learning…

I hope you pick me as the life time access winner because, because simply, “I Want It”…
thank you for your time & consideration… Best Regards, J

I have not started a scrap business yet, but it is my dream. I have been researching the start up costs involved,web based vs. brick and mortar, consultant vs. reallife store, funding, book keeping, etc….I’ve been looking at all of the web based stores and reviewing what works for them, what doesn’t, forums, galleries, design teams….asking about behind the scenes things that need to happen, shipping and handling issues etc…

I don’t have the funds at this point, but hope to be able to acquire a loan that would assist in my dream. For now, I am doing all of the research that I can, making sure that when I go to apply for a loan that I am loaded with all of the right answers, make sure that I have all of my ducks in a row and that I can be as prepared for a new business adventure as possible.
I hope you pick me, as I believe that scrap venture pro will be the a great resource for achieving my dream.

Hello, I have been a scrapper for about 11 yrs now on and off. I got into scrapbooking when we had a house fire and I lost everything and the love of my life, my husband. All my memories,my love,my wedding dress, my children’s pictures, my wedding pictures….all gone. I had to start over and from that day I had gotten pictures from family and friends of my husband and my children that they gave to me to start again with new memories and a new addicting hobby of scrapbooking. My pictures for close to 22 yrs had always went into those “magnetic” albums or boxes, hoping to get back to them soon. Well, soon ended up to be several years. So after the fire I started with pictures I received and the new pictures I started taking. I started out with grandchildren’s pictures and made myself a scrapbook with just my grandbabies. Then a scrapbook with a little bit of everything. I was hooked! I have since did one of just Alaska. My girlfriends and I took a cruise together and I made another book of memories. It was like I had to grab everything and put it in a scrapbook so I didn’t ever lose it again! I have had so many compliments on my albums. I have always wanted to have something to bring in more money in my home, and I know this “addiction” to scrapbooking can do it! I want to make albums for others, so they too can cherish their memories like I have and still do! I don’t want to let go, I want to give others that same feeling. I would love to have a “lifetime access” to Scrap Venture Pro! It will help me fulfill this journey I am on! Thank you!

I would SO love to win this! I run a scrapbooking group for seniors during the winter months. In September, our home burned to the ground and I lost most of my scrapbooking supplies. I would love to start a business doing what I love and replenish my supplies, but I have no idea where to start, and this seems like the perfect way to find out whether this would be do-able for me. I can’t afford to spend money on anything right now, as we try to rebuild our lives, so winning this would be a dream come true for me

I would love to have access to Scrap Venture Pro because I have a wonderful talent that God gave me, that I want to use to encourage others. My goal is to create and design cards, that arrive snail mail at just the right time, so that the receiver KNOWS that they are cared for and someone loves them.
I know this business IS SO competive, and easy to make mistakes, so I need advise from a Pro. Then I can be the encourager that I feel God has given me the talent to do.
We ALL need to know someone cares, it is a necessity. Please help me do that!!!!

First of all, I would like to say that I love your site. Each and every entry, tutorial, and web video speaks volumes to me. I began scrapping for the public in April but didn’t really realize that I could actually have the hope to do this full time until the Fall of 2007. That is when I developed my site. This is a long process and it doesn’t happen overnight. I was beginning to lose hope that it would ever happen until I found your site. I subscribed yesterday and I have already read every word of it. I have made business cards and ordered pens and magnets to leave everywhere I go. I am looking for every open door to talk about my business. I am working on my blog to promote my site as well. I have also been working on fine tuning my website. And browsing sites such as Ebay and Etsy to sell my work. I promise you that if I were to win the lifetime membership, every detail of your site would not go unused. I am thankful to have a coach to guide me through this process. I am soaking it in like a sponge and my goal is to have a full-time business that surpasses my wildest dreams and supplies all the needs of my two small children and myself. I feel like I am on the right track now and my dream is so close to becoming a reality that I can just taste it. I guess it is everyones hope to be able to work a job that they actually love and have a passion for, thank you for giving me hope that my dream can come true!
All My Best,
Elisha

First let me say that I really love this site. I have been scrapbooking for a while now and I can’t seem to get enough.
Every time you send me an e-mail I get in there and read everything I can. I love to learn and you put it in such a language that it is easy to understand and it isn’t boring like some sites that I have come across.
As a wife of an active duty Airman and a mom of 4, 3 of which I home school, I am very busy. Not to mention that I work full time day care. To have access to your site for free would be a god send. I could use any help I could get, and I think that your articles are just the cream of the crop.
Thank you so much for all that you do and I would just love to be the winner of the lifetime membership.

I never scrapbooked much until, at the age of FIFTY and single, I adopted a little one from overseas. I have since retired from teaching to devote more time to her, and need to supplement my income in a major way without the need to leave her in child care after school. This is the PERFECT new career for me and for her. I hope that I can give my community the best products possible and I know this site will help me do just that. I have registered the name of my company, but have yet to do anything with it. It is called Paper Views.

Money is always tight for the WAHM especially when starting out and it’s always these types of services which are so necessary for inspiration and encouragment, but seem like extras that get cut when money is tight. I’d love a lifetime or 3 month freebie to help the monthly budget a bit.

I am really enjoying scrapventure pro, it’s inspired me to my next venture, I knew I wanted to incorporate digital scrapbooking into my business, but didn’t know how and reading your reports and hanging out here, inspired me to figure it out.

Thanks Vera for helping us all turn something we truly love doing into something we can make money doing!

Hello, I just want to say first that I love this site. I came across it oneday when i was searching about opening my own scrapbooking business. I have no idea how to do this, but I do know that i have two loves in my life.. One is my family and the other is scrapbooking. So I was wanting to combine these two, which would let me stay at home and scrapbook while spending time with my family. By picking me for one of the two prizes, It would help me to becomming a little closer to my dream. I have 7 children living at home with me, ages, 1,2,3,5,6,10, & 14. So I have a bunch of small ones…They also love to scrapbook, when I start ona project they will sit in the floor next to me with their gluesticks and wait for me to give them something to put on their pages.. It is family time for me also. I would love to have the opportunity for the liftime membership, but would also be just as happy with the three months. I alos love recieving your e-mails. I chech my mail all day becuase you give me the best information that I could get. You make it easy for me to understand, which alot of people and site are so confusing. Thank you in advance for the time and opportunity for consideration!

Sorry for the mispelleed words, I was just so happy and my fingers were moving faster than my mind! LOL!!

I have always been a very creative and visionary person, but about 3 years ago my husband would buy me a Christmas present that would pivot me into the creative stratosphere and change my life. A DIGITAL CAMERA!! I started to capture and develop all our families’ special occassions and memories and before I knew it I had a virtual windfall of photos just thrown in a box. One day I stumbled upon the scrapbooking section of my local craft store and I was “hooked”. I began to spend every dime of my surplus money as well as every free moment in my day scrapbooking. Soon all of my family was coming to me for thier own scrapbooks, wanting me to do the same for all of thier precious photographed memories and keepsakes. They even asked why wasn’t I doing scrapbooking for a living or opening up my own store. I created a couple of wedding albums for girlfriends and several baby themed albums and before my eyes was a tangible money-making business forming. At this stage, I could use some more helpful hints, tips, and pointers on how to actually continue prospering and growing in this industry. I believe I have a natural eye and innate sensibility to create real wealth with scrapbooking. This site and information is a wonderful resource in which I have already partaken. So, please select me as the Scrap Venture 2008 lifetime access winner in order that I may continue to further and flourish in my budding scrapbook artist career.

Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon…

I am at a turning point in my life. After 8 years of marriage and 6 years as a stay-at-home Mom, I finally found the strength to leave my abusive husband and start over. I have now been on my own for over a year. While being a childcare provider puts food on our table and a roof over our heads, it’s not exactly a dream job, nor is it particularly secure. I want more for my life- I want to work a job where I don’t depend on anyone else, where I get to use my talents and abilities and do something I love everyday. I want more time with my children- and less with someone else’s.

Being free from constant emotional abuse has allowed me to see the natural talents and abilities I have always had, but never saw in myself- even when my friends and family insisted I had it. I want to use my talent and intelligence to provide for a family and chase my dreams. Thank you for this oppurtunity.

I have always loved pictures and started scrapbooking at a very young age. The first album I made was for my mom when I was a teenager. Well, when I became a mom myself I started really wanting to make more sophisticated scrapbooks for my boys to enjoy for years to come. I started to really get into it and tried to get a business going. First I tried selling pages on ebay, then at craft shows. I made specialized occasion books and pages. I did ok, but we had to move because my husband got a new job and I have been having a hard time getting back into it again. I really want something more. I do believe your site could help me with this. I would really be honored if I was chosen to win this prize and would definitely put it to good use.

Thank you so much for this opportunity.

Hi Vera ~
I, too, have enjoyed reading and learning from your site. I have been scrapbooking for 30+ years (carrying on a tradition started by MY mother when I was born 50+ years ago). About 5 years ago I was re-introduced to scrapbooking (which had kind of “fallen by the wayside” when my kids were younger and needed more one-on-one time with me) – I found the scrapbooks I had started for my two older children 25+ years earlier were literally falling apart and quickly started re-doing them and completing the three kids lives up to high school or college graduation. I then tackled MY old albums, resorting to hundreds of slides to print new pictures and turning the album over to my mother to do the journaling again! I have had numerous friends and family members come to me to help them organize or complete albums – and find that it is something I love to do – see all the photos in an album that people can enjoy instead of pictures stuck in drawers and boxes. I would love to get some more insight into how to make this a more productive business – isn’t that the dream? to make a living doing something that you love??! Scrapbooking is my relaxation and recreation – I hate it when I have a day that I can’t get do work on some kind of project! I’d love to win a subscription to learn more!
Thanks…
Carol

Well where do i start, my sister-in-law introduced the hooby to me about 3 years ago, and have been hooked ever since. This is the first thing that i have found that i am truley passionate about! My first book i did was for my younger brother (whom has cerebral palsy) for graduation.It was a scrapbook of his whole life up to the point where he graduated. My purpose of that book was to show all the trial and tribulations he had to overcome and deal with, all the struggles he has from day to day that we may take for granted, and need i mention fellow students who lets face it can be cruel. Needless to say i’ve been making alot of books for family and myself, and am starting a business as a scrapbook artist. I am soooo passionate about this and belive everyone deserves to have a scrapbook and want to share my gift and passion with everyone!i could use all the latest tips and techniques and insight i can get.i love your site and of course anything that has to deal with scrapbooking. I would love to get a subscription and would put it to good use too

Hello!
First at all, I wish you a very happy, healthy, prosperous new year!!!
My english is not too good for talk or write but I can read it.
I’m a grandma who likes to learn beautiful things and scrapbook is one of them. I have been sufferinf depression for almost 20 years and I stay at home all day, so I would like to learn all about scrapbook, if this can help me to make some money it will be very useful for me, I don’t like to depend from my husband or sons for everything I need, including my medicines, I want to feel me useful!!!
Thanks for everything!!!

I have been at the same JOB for 11 years and although I always liked what I do,it has been a challenge for me to get up and go to work. I work with 8 women in one room!!! I reaized that I spend at least 80% of my life at work and I don’t want to spend that much time with people that complain about everything ALL day. So the idea of my own business sounds like heaven to me. I’ve tended my resignation and hope to venture into a new Career.
As I’ve quit my present job and my husband is retired fund are limited at this time. To win this would be very benificial to me. I NEED to work at something for the sake of my sanity and my marriage!!
I love my husband, but 24-7 is toooooo much together time!!!
I’v alway found that if your doing something you like it is not really a JOB no matter how mush time you put into it.
I sincerly hope I win the life time or the 3 month access either one, but I feel that I have gained so much just by being a member of this site.
Thanks for everything you do.

I am a senior and loving it. I have always had children in my home. I had foster children, child development programs, and six children of my own, plus grandchildren, and great grandchildren.I made sure each and every child had their very own LIFE BOOK with photo’s of every occasion. With these I made sure there was a caption telling where and when the photo was taken. You can imagine when these children leave my home with their LIFE BOOK in hand, how very proud they were. I’ve seen so many happy, proud, smiling children leave my home. I would like so much to continue this LIFE BOOK project, but being finances are so limited in my senior years, it has become a struggle at times to have enough finances to buy the books and take the photo’s that made it so special for every child who passed through my home. It would be so great to get some kind of help from your great prizes. I feel I have so much to be thankful for just being able to much help from your website. Thank you so very much, for all you do.

I am a single mom and have realized that in order for me to make it financially on my own (with out my parents’ help). I need to make my business grow. I have started a business, but working full time leaves little time to work on the business. This site helps to answer many of the questions that I have been looking for. I have been interested in starting a scrapbook business for years and now that I really need to focus on the business part your offer would be a huge benifit. One cannot start a business just because they love scrapbooking, there is so much more to starting a business in this very competitive field. I have added to my knowledge by taking a web design course, at the local University, as well and currently taking a second more advanced web design course. The more keys to unlock the knowledge that is out there the better.
Thank you for your give away and your site.

<p>After being a college professor I have now chosen to stay mostly at home with our 3 year old daughter from China. I am preparing to start up an at home business in scrapbooking. Having done scrapbooking for about 12 years now, I know what an essential process it is for every individual and family–to preserve memories, in a creative and meaningful way, before they are gone. I want to pass along what I believe in to others–and make an income, too. </p>
<p>I need all the help I can get. I look forward to the possibility of winning access to your services to help guide me in my new venture. Thanks for considering me.</p>
