Places to Get Digital Kits and Supplies
Monday, 09 August 2010 13:08 |
There are so many online stores where you can pick up digital kits, elements, alphas, templates, and many other supplies to use on your layouts. Instead of attempting to list them all, let me point you to some places where you can find listings of them or advertisements for them.
Browse Product Galleries
First, there are some places that offer advertising galleries. You just look through the product images and click on one you would like to look more closely at and there should be a link in the information to where you can pick up the product if you would like.
Digi Shop Talk Product Gallery
Digi Scrap Addict Product Gallery
Subscribe to Ads
Next, there are many Yahoo Groups where if you subscribe, you will get ads from designers and stores sent to your e-mail or simply listed in Yahoo groups for you to check at your leisure. Simply go to Yahoo groups and put digital scrapbooking in the search box and you will find a bunch. Please be careful here because there are some groups that share supplies illegally. You are never allowed to share digital scrapbooking supplies between multiple users or computers without the permission of the designer who created them. (Click here to read more about that.)
Online Stores
There are so many digital scrapbooking stores online. Right now I have not been able to find an accurate listing of designers or stores in the digital scrapbooking industry, but I will let you know if I do. My suggestion is to start looking through some of the product galleries listed above. If you find a kit or something you like, then follow the link to the store and look through what else that store has to offer.
Try some Free Products
Online you will find a mixture of free supplies and supplies that you can purchase. Free supplies are a great place to start as you are just learning to scrapbook digitally. Once you get comfortable creating layouts you will probably want to start buying kits and supplies. Most of the time you will find a much higher quality in the supplies you purchase compared to those you pick up for free. There are some digital sites, though, that offer a sample of high quality supplies for free so you can try them out.
Oscraps has a large freebie section in their store.
Shabby Princess offers some great freebies in her download section and on the blog.
Peppermint Creative offers a free kit every couple of months.
Finally, many designers will offer small freebie samples with a subscription to their newsletter or on their blog. So if you find a designer you like, you may want to subscribe to their blog or newsletter.
