Hi all! I'm finally going to work on some digiscrapping projects. I've been a traditional scrapbooker for a few years now, but since I have a background in Graphic Design, I really want to try the digital stuff.
What are some good websites? I'm looking for layout ideas/sketches, downloadable goodies, fonts, etc.
For sketches, I like using traditional sketches like those from pencil lines or so sketchy. But, if you go to any of the sites above, you'll find sketches and other challenges there.
shabby princess and little dreamer designs are my fave. shabby princess has some that are free and they are really cute. not sure on little dreamer but everything is fab!!!
Bianca....where did you take the course from Jessica Sprague? I just got her Computer Tricks magazine and love how she makes it easy for those of us that are just starting. I haven't found a course by her but since CK is moving their website, it might just be hard to find.

Bianca - I'd like more info too! That sounds awesome.
stampie_newbie - Where did you pick up the magazine?
I was lucky enough to get it at Michaels when it first came out and used my 40% off coupon. It actually came out a while back but I never read it b/c I hadn't started diving in to digi until now. I think you can still get it off of CK's website or probably Barnes & Noble. I have been interested in digi for a while but have never had the time to devote to learning. I saw one of Jessica Sprague's video tutorials and realized that I could do this. I like it that she is so step-by-step b/c I am very new to this.
This is great info. Thanks, everyone. I have already found some sites on my own, but this list is great!! I'm kind of into hybrid scrapping at this point. Too many supplies in my craft room to go totally digital!!!
I like digitaldesignessentials - if you like her stuff sign up for her newsletter for specials!
And designerdigitals. And I always haunt shabbyprincess to see if she has something new out, she is my #1 favorite.
Both have lots of freebies and great tutorials. They're responsible for me getting addicted a few years ago. Don't have as much time to do it now though, sadly.
I have to say that Little Dreamer Designs is the best Digital Scrapbook site...but then again I am partial since I work for them..lol
Definitely check the site weekly as we always have new products or better yet sign up for the newsletter this way you can see what's new. And EVERY Wednesday there is one product for $1..so worth whatever is on sale!
Thanks for these, Emily. So far I've just checked outfunkyplaygrounddesigns.com and I'm already in love. Already familiar with sweetshoppedesigns.com (love it too!), and look forward to browsing the other two. This thread is SUCH a great resource!
Jessica Sprague is having a free course starting Nov. 9th... I thinking today, the 8th, is the last day to sign up...
I am a newbie at digi scrappin also, and found that it is very addicting and overwhelming at all the graphics you can find.... I think I remember that I have a family and home that needs TLC....lol...lol...lol
DigiFree has all the sites everybody mentioned and many more.I am a college student and can only afford the free things and this is the place I go for my daily fix.enjoy
ScrapbookMax has alot of free downloads.....www.scrapbookmax.com
the site is set up like SCS...go to Online Community, then scroll down to templates or embellishments....
I wholeheartedly agree!! I am on lesson 3 of Up and Running and I plan to take all of her classes-it is just awesome to do things and not feel frustrated! She has done an exemplary job!!

Something I didn't see here was http://ikeagoddess.blogspot.com/ She has tons of freebies listed, of different types (templates, kits, elements, etc) almost every day. Also, if you like free brushes try http://www.brusheezy.com/brushes for tons of free brushes in all sorts of styles.
__________________ All inked up... and somewhere to go. My gallery, small but mighty... or maybe just mighty small! Come see my almost new blog... M'ija Stamps!
You can find a lot of freebies if you head over to my blog (www.digicyberscraps.com). These are all kits that I've designed myself. There are a lot there, as well as blog trains that will take you from blog to blog to download kits around a certain color scheme and theme. I just participated in a valentine convoy and on March 1 I'll be posting my part of a birthday blog train.
If you stop by, drop a note in my shout box that you read my post here.
As some of you have mentioned, digifree is THE best place to find out about freebies that are out there. She does a wonderful job!
If you would like to make a paper photo cube instead of a page, have a look at easyphotocube.com where you can make a printable photo cube pattern out of 6 digital photos. the pattern is its own web page that you can print, link to or send via email to your friends.
then click on Help Zone...digital scrapbooking and there are some really helpful online digital classes. There is Digital Done in Four. There is free software that is downloadable from the shop products, then digital scrapbooking, then under Downloadable themes. If you have questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected]
