Included in this kit are: Four 12 x 12 papers, one flower with brad and leaves, one tag with ribbon, one paper frame, one dress pattern scallop and one butterfly sticker. (Drop shadows are for illustration only. Created at 300 dpi and saved as .jpg and .png files.)

Scrapbooking Fonts

Free fonts are wonderful! Two things to keep in mind, however. If you have too many on your computer, it can cause problems. Also, always read the terms of service or "Read Me" file for any font. There may be limitations placed on your use of the font by it's creator.

Getting Started

So, what do you need to get started with Digital Scrapbooking? A lot of money, if you don't already have some of these things...

The Epson R1900 Large Format Photo Printer

Wondering just how on earth you're going to print out a 12 x 12 digital layout at home? Well, what you are looking for is called a large format printer, like this one from Epson!

It can print a high quality image as large as 13 inches wide! Now you can print your layouts at home at the touch of a button.

Or Make Yourself a Book

There are many websites dedicated to offering printing services for your digital photos, like ShutterFly, SnapFish, WinkFlash or PhotoWorks, to name a few. Many of these services also offer you the option of making your own photo book as well. Turn your digital scrapbook pages into your next coffee table book with the click of a button!

I highly recommend ShutterFly myself. I made a baby book for my son with my digital goodies and I uploaded it to Shutterfly's website. When my book arrived, I just about cried! It simply looked incredible. They do a wonderful job!
