That means all you need to know is how to do an Internet search and download files and you can find all the images you need to create delightful scrapbooks. That’s why popular artist Mary Englebreit recently remarked that the Internet is so overflowing with terrific free digital scrapbooking materials, it can provide nearly any type of images you might need. And she’s an authority on good images; products featuring her graphics on them fly off the shelves as soon as they’re released!
Here are some of the types of free scrapbook designs available:
Vintage
More and more people seem to be searching for.vintage scrapbooking embellishments. Maybe that’s because antique art is so timeless and doesn’t date the final product to any particular modern era. Cards from times long gone make wonderful vintage scrapbook embellishments, as do clip art images from years gone by. And when you can find digital scrapbooking papers made from compilations of vintage images, you’ll experience digital meeting traditional in a beautiful and useful way. Vintage art also covers a range of subjects, which means you can find images as diverse as tall sailing ships, vintage travel posters, antique flower baskets, magician posters and Victorian fashion illustrations. So whatever the topic of your scrapbook, you can probably find vintage art to match.
Holidays
The holidays just naturally invite the creation of scrapbooks, since those are the times we gather with friends and family to create special memories. And it’s not just the “showier” holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day and Halloween that inspire scrapbooks; it’s the minor holidays too. There are all kinds of patriotic scrapbooking papers and embellishments on the Web for holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Flag Day. There are also many images out there for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Earth Day and any other holiday you can think of; even the off-beat and downright bizarre ones.
Floral and Butterfly
I’ve definitely noticed that people who scrapbook love flowers, and why not? They work for nearly any occasion. Butterflies, too, have a large audience, because they bring to mind so many things we love: freedom, summertime and other happy things. Flowers and butterflies are also diverse, because an abundance of them can be found as both illustrations and photos, and in modern and vintage styles. There are even flower art scrapbook papers that have multiple mix-and-match designs in the same collections.
Wedding Images
Weddings and scrapbooks were naturally made to go together, because wedding photo albums have always been traditional anyway. But if you can make it a wedding scrapbook instead, you can will have an even more creative way to preserve your precious memories. There are many good wedding scrapbook embellishments online that will allow you to create one of these very special mementos with no or little cost. And if you can’t find any specifically for weddings, flower scrapbook images will often do just as well.
Babies
As is the case with wedding ceremonies, the birth and growth years of a little one often generate a lot of pictures. And, of course, scrapbookers love to use those photos to create family heirlooms. Fortunately, this can be done for next to nothing using just scrapbook materials 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. Chocolate brown, burnt orange and red are popular, as are various shades of green. Of course, you can still find lots of blue and pink, but these days there are many bold color choices too.
So the next time you need scrapbooking graphics, check the Web. You might find some amazing free things.
