The Web And No-cost Scrapbook Supplies

Because there are so many Internet-savvy scrapbooking supply designers today, there’s an abundance of digital scrapbook supplies. As long as you know how to do a Web search and download files, you can find all the designs you need to create professional-looking scrapbooks. That caused famous artist Mary Englebreit to remark recently that the Web is a great source of digital scrapbooking materials that will yield almost anything you might need. And she should know about good images; products with her illustrations sell like hotcakes!

Here are some of the types of free scrapbook designs that are available:

Babies and Children

Like weddings, babies invite the taking of photos. And what scrapbooker wouldn’t want to pass down a distinctive baby scrapbook to her child as he or she gets older? Fortunately, this can be done for next to nothing using just scrapbooking designs from the Web. If you’re not up on baby images, however, you might be surprised to learn that the colors are less traditional than they used to be. Burnt orange, chocolate brown and red are all the rage, as well as a few specific shades of green. Of course, you can still find lots of blue and pink, but these days there are many bold color choices too. And for older kids, there is a lot of free clip art that portrays a range of special interests, like horse-back riding images and World Series clip art.

Vintage

More and more people seem to be searching for vintage scrapbooking materials. That could be because antique art is so timeless and creates such classy results. Antique greeting cards make terrific vintage scrapbook embellishments, as does antique clip art. And if you’re fortunate enough to find vintage designs on digital scrapbook papers, you’ll experience digital meeting traditional in a beautiful and useful way. Antique designs also cover a wide variety of subjects, including images as diverse as Victorian fashion illustrations, magic show posters, cigar labels, rose clipart, vintage cat art and historical sailing ships. So whatever the topic of your scrapbook, there’s probably antique art to match.

Holiday

The holidays are great subjects for scrapbooks, since those are the occasions when many of us create some of our most lasting memories. And Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Valentine’s Day aren’t the only holidays that make people want to create scrapbooks; many people are interested in the minor holidays too. There are all kinds of patriotic scrapbooking papers and embellishments on the Internet for holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Flag Day. There is also free environmental clip art for Earth Day, as well as images suitable for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and just about any other holiday you can think of; even the silly or off-beat ones.

Butterflies and Flowers

People who scrapbook seem to love flowers of all kinds, and why not? They’re appropriate for almost any occasion. Butterflies attract a large audience too, because they bring to mind so many things we love: freedom, summertime and other happy things. Butterfly and flower images are also diverse, because you can find them in both illustration and photographic form, and in modern and vintage forms. There are even free printable butterfly pictures that sometimes even span both vintage and modern in the same collections.

Wedding Images

Scrapbooks and weddings are a natural combination, because wedding photo albums have always been traditional anyway. But if you can make it a wedding scrapbook instead, you can preserve your memories in an even more creative way. There is a surprisingly good selection of wedding scrapbook images on the Web that will allow you to create a lasting memento for little or no cost. And if you can’t find any specifically for weddings, flower images can also give you a gorgeous look.

So the next time you go looking for scrapbook designs, check out what’s available on the Web. You might find some free images that will really surprise you.
