Premade Scrapbook Pages

Premade Scrapbook Pages
For those who buy/sell scrapbook pages on e-bay.

What is it with "tear bears". It seems like you can't sell a scrapbook page for a decent price on e-bay unless it has those hideous "tear bears" on them. I put a LOT of work into my work, and I do beautiful work - it takes up to 16 hours for me to make a 2 page scrapbook layout, and my pages are just as good if not better by far than the best selling pages on there, but because I flat out refuse to use "tear bears" on my pages, they don't sell very well. I won't use them because I think that they are stupid and ugly. To see what "tear bears" are, go to www.ebay.com and type in "premade scrapbook pages" and sort them by highest price first. Really, what is the deal?

I sell scrapbook pages on ebay. I'm not real impressed with the whole tear bear thing,but that's what is in right now and what people want. I have found ways to get around the bear thing. I've done tear dogs,trees,birds etc. I've even done Disney layouts and put some kind of hand torn item on the page and they sell. I'm not sure why people are so crazy for the tear bears. As long as the words tear bear are in the title and something is hand torn on the page,people will buy it. If I want to make money selling pages,I have to give people what they want. For my own personal pages however,I do not use any tear bears at all. Just not my thing.
