Digital Scrapbooking has become extremely popular over the last few years, and for many like myself, it has replaced traditional scrapbooking because it is easier to maintain, and cheaper. Digiscraps is the common term for the collective word art, backgrounds, and elements you use to create your scrapbook pages with any photo editing software (I use MS Digital Image Pro). While you can purchase full kits online, once you've gotten started, you may prefer to add to your digiscrap collection a few elements at a time. Most digital scrapbooking sites offer FREEBIES on a weekly basis (in .jpg or .png format)
You can find thousands of digital scrapbooking supplies online for any scrapbook theme or subject: baby, wedding, sports, heritage, holiday, school. Most freebies are for elements - quick pages, overlays, embellishments, alphabets, or background papers -- but occasionally, you'll find a great deal on an entire kit. Whether your style is grunge and altered, floral, or primary color based, there are freebies to be had for all!
At Best Scrap Freebies, you can browse through an entire list of "Top Sites" - these change frequently, so be sure to bookmark! Once you've become addicted, er...familiar with the world of Digiscrappers and Bloggers, I'm sure you'll want to create your own freebies to share, or at the very least, join a group of happy digiscrappers and participate in their group activities and contests. Soon you'll learn how to create other paper crafts
Go to SimplyCleanDigiscraps.com for a variety of free elements, alphabets, word art and background papers with a floral flair. Click on Resources once you've downloaded and you can get also get a great "How-to Get Started" tutorial.
