Scrapbooking Paper
With the digital cameral has come a whole new craze in scrapbooking. Digital
scrapbooking has opened doors to anything from designing your own scrapbook
"paper" to sharing your designed pages with others by simply sending
them to a scrapbook website via email attachments.
Digital scrapbooking is a hard concept to grasp for some of the old school
scrapbookers. We have acid free and lignin free paper, die cuts, etc. ingrained
in our heads and it is hard to imaging creating If you are an avid scrapbooker
who takes your scrapping seriously then you can relate to the feeling you get
if you are on a role doing different pages in the middle of the night only to
have your creativity come to a screeching halt when you do not have the correct
scrapbooking paper, stickers or die cuts to complete a page. There is nothing
worse then digging through your mounds of piles looking for a page for a baby
scrapbook complete with smiling stars or a page with sailboats for your weekend
on the water only to find that you have nothing that even comes close to what
you need.
If you have had this experience you know that your scrapbooking balloon has
deflated. It is practically impossible to move onto another page because this
is the one you want to do right now. I typically do pages in chronological order,
so having to skip a whole day of vacation or a family get together can really
throw me off. Sometimes I link pages together, so I really can't move on to
the next page because I don't know how the scrapbooking paper on the previous
page is going to look.
I found the answer to this scrapbooking dilemma one night while searching for
scrapbooking paper geared towards twins. There, on the computer in front of
me, was a lovely sight…FREE downloadable scrapbooking paper! Yes, free paper
anytime, anywhere, anyplace that I need it. Anything from themes to dots to
checks to custom designs. It is a scrapbookers dream to be able to shop whenever
the mood hits you.
While searching for the downloadable scrapbooking paper I also found borders,
letters, diecuts and frames, all of which are helpful for when we are creating
our scrapbooking layouts. Most of the
paper can be downloaded to your computer so that you can print it at home on
your printer. I also found many sites that will allow you to use the pages that
they have for both digital scrapbooking and to print making them very versatile
as many people have moved to the digital phase.
With hundreds of pages to choose from, you are sure to find scrapbooking paper
online that fits whatever project you are working on. In addition to the free
downloadable paper, you can find sites that offer unique or custom made scrapbooking
paper that you can have shipped to you which allows you to buy paper that you
won't find in any of the large craft stores and helps make your scrapbooking
pages one of a kind.
