[article] Free Printable Scrapbooking Page Kits - Make Stunning Scrapbooks Easily - by Erik Birkeland

Digital scrapbooking page kits can really simplify the process of making a scrapbook. Not only do they simplify the process but you can also get free digital scrapbooking page kits and save a lot of time and money when making your scrapbooks. These kits allow you to create high quality scrapbooks. A number of websites provide sampler kits for free and are well worth taking a look at.

If you are just starting out then using free digital scrapbooking page kits will get going quickly. Instead of spending your time developing your own pages you can use these kits and get your scrapbook project completed fairly quickly and it will look fantastic!

In the free digital scrapbooking page kits you will get the designed backgrounds, frames, titles and possibly stickers. These will already be placed for you. This means you don't need to spend your time preparing each element that you plan to use. You will just need to put your pictures onto these pages. Once you have placed your picture then you should add some text as to what the picture is about. This is called journaling.

Don't forget to add journaling to each of your scrapbooks. When you create a scrapbook you are trying to tell a story. The pictures are just one part of that. The journaling, title and captions lend context to your pictures and complete the story. I have scrapbooks from my grandparents and since they didn't do a lot of captions I unfortunately don't know who is in a number of the pictures. Don't let his happen to you.

In order to use your free digital scrapbooking page kits you'll need the following:

* Photo editor. You can use Microsoft Word or Adobe Photoshop Elements (regular Photoshop is quite expensive). If you don't have these and don't want to spend money on a photo editor then you can find a free digital editor at my website.

* Digital scrapbooking page kit

* Quality printer

* Digital camera

* Scanner (if you want to work with older pictures)

Free digital scrapbooking page kits can definitely make the experience of creating a scrapbook much less stressful, especially if you are just beginning to scrapbook. Happy scrapbooking
