I
recently became a member of some Yahoo
Groups, and what a great resource! The ones I'm in are all about
digital scrapbooking freebies. Designers come and post their freebies
and scrappers post freebies they've found. If you're a scrapbook designer
with freebies, or if you're looking for freebies, come and join us!
The groups I currently belong to:
Digital_Scrapbook_Freebies | pspscraphouse
| all_free_digi_scraps
| Sweetz_Scrapz
If you belong to a scrapbooking group you think I should join, please send me a message and tell me about it!
Creative
Busy Hands is a digital scrapbooking freebie search engine that
finds hundreds of new freebies all around the web every single day!
There are several search engines online, but most won't work with my
feed. Luiza took some time to get it to work, so my stuff can show up
there too! :)
I
LOVE CraftCrave!
I post some of my digital scrapbook stuff there occasionally (search
for statchoo!) It's not just for scrapbook designers, there's some amazing
stuff through the whole site. If you've never been there, check it out
and be inspired!
I just joined this community called
CreatingTheHive.com - Arts & Crafts Community. If you're into arts and crafts (or
looking for them) this is the place to be - there's a whole network
of all sorts of artists and crafters of all kinds!
MyGrafico
is an online store with tons of clipart, templates, stamps, papers,
overlays and more! They work with a bunch of designers and have some
very unique and cool designs for all sorts of craft projects. They even
offer a few freebies for personal use, and commercial licenses are available
for most sets you buy. If you sign up as a member of the community,
you can request designs - plus they have challenges for you to win free
sets!
My
Memories Suite - established by pier review as the #1 rated product
in its category for more than 2 years running!
I just got this and I've been having fun experimenting with it and seeing what it can do. The download is huge (over 500MB!) because the program comes with a bunch of backgrounds & embellishments, and also includes some templates - so if you're just starting out with digital scrapbooking and don't have a hard drive full of graphics already, this will get you started - and of course you can import your own stuff!
They've also recently added FREE, online "Intro to MMS" workshops that are offered regularly, so you can get the most out of the software. It's currently selling for under $40, plus after you buy it, they also give you a $10 store credit!
Photoshop Ninja - In my opinion the ultimate site for Photoshop tips, tricks and helpful information. Lots of good stuff here!
Photoshop Cafe - Colin Smith is my hero! Check out his gallery of photorealistic illustration. Wow. He's also got tutorials, even some video tutorials.
There are plenty of Photoshop tutorial sites online, and lots of good ones. Photoshop Roadmap is one of my favorites, and they have a search that actually works if you're looking for something specific.
Another great Photoshop site is Planet Photoshop. Lots of video tutorials and information about new releases and new features.
