Fun Freebie - Blog Trains

There is a fantastic blog that I just ran across called The Blog Train Blog. Every month or so they do a huge train of designers (think about 100) who all design based on a theme. On a specific day, all the designers post their design on their own blog (as a free download) and link to the next person on the "train". Talk about freebies! I enjoyed looking through one of the months designs. Some of them I liked and downloaded and some of them weren't really me.

But talk about options! And because it all uses a similar theme and color template, you wind up with great color-coordinated downloads (of whichever ones you download). On some of the blogs the links will expire after a time, so you have to keep an eye out for that.

I'm learning how to cut pictures out. Fun! Although for some reason these ones have a weird line around them that I can't figure out how to make go away.

More Freebies!

All right, I have 10 more fun links for you if you're looking for freebies. The last two in particular have links to other freebies. Lots and lots and lots and lots of links! If you can't find enough stuff from these links, you just need to design your own because you're obviously to picky!

1. Designer Digitals has some really pretty stuff. Just become a (for free) member of their group, and you can download freebies from the gallery. It looks like the freebies rotate off every few months, so keep looking for the newest.

2. Daisy Trail doesn't have a ton of free stuff, but a few well-built kits with some neat ideas in them are available. Don't know how frequently they update.

3. Digitals has a running deal of being able to download one piece of a kit every day. Depending on if you like the kit, might be worth the time. They also have quite a few other bits and pieces of freebies--not always full kits. Look under the "Categories" section for the free stuff.

4. No Reimer Reason is actually a blog but she lists a lot of other freebie places you can get things from. She also has a page you can go to (here) that has a lot of her own freebies that she's designed.

5. Peppermint Creative appears to have only one free download at a time, but it is an entire kit and it is a big kit. And the website seems to be updated pretty regularly with a new kit, so check back if you don't like this months!

6. RakScraps is a scrap-booking community; however, if you're looking for freebies, every month they have a mega-kit that is available for free from the 15th through the end of the month (again--join the community--it's free; and looking at some of the forums and what not might give you some good ideas).

7. Scrapgirls is another community website. Have a huge kit you can download for free, and also have regular little pieces that you can download. Also have a newsletter that comes with links for freebies and ideas. Of course the idea of the little downloads is that you'll like the whole kit it comes from and buy it :)

8. ShabbyPrincess has quite a few kits and seems to update new ones quite frequently.

9. The Digital Scrapbooking Free Site has--you guessed it--All free stuff! Looks like they compile stuff they've selected from other sites. Give you the links and then have it. Tons and tons. Apparently they have coupon codes available for some websites as well, so if you ever get into the buying side of stuff, check and see what they might have.

10. Craft Crave is a great site. This one apparently does a search every day of all the freebies available on blogs. For example, today, there is apparently 214 blogs with freebies. Plus they have past days you can look on. And it looks like they have little pictures of what the freebies are for easy browsing! That's a good one to kill an hour or two in a day--just browse that!

Free Stuff Websites

So, here are a few websites I've found that have free downloadables to play with. A lot of these websites you have to become a member (for free) in order to be able to download stuff.

Just a niceness note--I will be trying to credit whomever this stuff comes from. A lot of these designers do sell other stuff, so if you're creating and publishing using their free stuff, give credit (and links) where it belongs if at all possible.

Free Digital Scrapbooking: Lots and lots of free stuff with lots of new content coming on a consistent basis. Also includes some tutorials.

Digital Scrapbook Place: Has an entire freebies gallery (have to be a member). Looks like new content is added regularly. Some of the freebies are only if you buy something and some of them you have to be posting content yourself. Really pretty stuff though. The website also has a lot of other information/tutorials, etc. So far, most of my downloads have come from here. Really like the quality of stuff their members put up.

Scrapbook Flair: Another website with lots of freebies added regularly. One of the things I like about this website is that it has a lot of individual elements and not just full kits (which are nice and convenient but if you're looking for one thing, not as useful).

DigiShopTalk: A scrapbook community with lots of new downloads. More becomes available if you're a member, but there's plenty of fun kits without.

Faith Sisters: Lots of freebies along with lots of to-buy offers. Includes some Christian-related items (Bible verses, etc) as well, which is nice.

Computer Scrapbook: Lots and lots of freebies! Currently all of their stuff (even stuff normally sold) is free. Check it out while you can!

CottageArts: Has limited freebies (more come out, but it's not a huge stas). However, what they do have is really pretty.

My First Page Ever (so proud!)

My Life in Scraps

I love scrapbooking. The only thing I have never liked about it is not being able to easily share my completed works with friends and family. So I've decided since I'm going to be transitioning to more digital works of scraps, I might as well post them.

I also plan on posting information/link/freebies as I find and use them.
