Free Digital Scrapbooking Page Kits

Don't let the thought of digital scrapbooking keep you from doing it. It isn't as difficult as you may think. It is also does not have to be all that expensive. You can use free digital scrapbooking page kits to make creating the scrapbook fairly easy and greatly reduce the costs. You will also be able to use the free digital scrapbooking page kits to make stunning scrapbooks that will get you a lot of compliments.

Now instead of having to think up and then create your digital scrapbook pages you can use the free digital scrapbooking page kits to save you all that time and work. The kits come pre-designed, have frames, titles and embellishments already setup for you. You just need to provide the pictures and the captions for the pictures.

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.

Here are the steps you are going to take:

Load your pictures into you computer.
Download the photo editing software if you don't have any. You can use Photoshop Element (not inexpensive) or if you don't want to spend money then use one of the free programs:

Lasting Expression (Cost $29 for title and words eBook. Digital software is free with 11 other bonuses. Worth the money!)
Picasa from Google
GIMP from GNU
Serif PhotoPlus
Paint.Net

Download your free digital scrapbooking page kit. Unzip it if necessary.
Launch your photo editing software and then open the files that came with your free digital scrapbooking page kit in your photo-editing program.
Now take your pictures and place them on the pages that came with the kit.
Place captions on each of the pictures.
Once done you can print out your scrapbook pages.
