Having quite a number of commonly asked questions from our customers who are new to scrapbooking, we have decided to post them here for those who have them as well.
1. What is the difference between a Scrapbook in a Bag Kit and Scrapbook in a Box kit?
For the scrapbook in a bag, it comes with a solid color preservation album, which you can embellish on your own.
For the scrapbook in a box, it comes with a post-bound album with the co-ordinating design of the card stock. It also comes with a memorabilia box to keep your album in, great for storage or if you plan to give it as a gift.
Below are the following 2 samples of the albums to show you the difference

All Scrapbooks in a bag are also known as memory books.

9. How does the scrapbook kits differ from the monthly kits?
Our monthly kits are specially put together by the team at MemoirActs with done up samples showcased in the Flickr Gallery. It gives variety and ideas of what you can do with the patterned papers to make into a few beautiful scrap layouts or have some special altered projects with special moments to decorate your house with. We aim to put together the most recent and latest products from a few of our favourite brands so that your layouts and projects will always be the most up-to-date and you’ll be kept in loop of the SB trends.
Scrapbook kits are ready for assembly anytime and anywhere as it comes with specific instructions on how you place the ready-cut, matching patterned papers together. From there, it gives you a feel of what scrapbooking is like for newbies and makes a fantastic gift for friends in a short time for the seasoned scrapper. And as busy moms ourselves at MemoirActs, it helps us scrap our precious photos in a short span of time but yet it will carry our own signature touch in how we like our albums to look : contemporary, fun-free-fancy or shabby chic.
