Digital Scrapbooking Freebies — free digital scrapbooking supplies & top 10+ places to get them

Welcome to the world of digital scrapbooking! In theory, digital scrapbooking is not that different from traditional scrapbooking methods, except that your scrapbooking supplies — papers, elements, overlays — are in digital format.

In order to build your scrapbook page, you need to have some kind of digital scrapbooking software (ie: Photoshop) that you use to build the digital scrapbooking layouts. You will then proceed much the same way as with traditional paper methods, You will start with your background paper, place your photos, add journaling, and finish it off with elements. The only difference is that there is no messy scraps to clean up, fixing mistakes is only a click away, your journalling is never messy, and you don’t have to worry about your papers getting wrinkled!

Luckily, thanks to the free digital scrapbooking kits and graphics available online, known as “Digital Scrapbooking Freebies”, learning digital scrapbooking can also be cheap! All you have to do is download the papers, elements, or entire kits, and get started in your creations!

To learn about digital scrapbooking, check out our digital scrapbooking tutorials, which take you through the process of creating digital scrapbooking layouts step-by-step.
