When planning a scrapbook it can be difficult to find inexpensive supplies. This guide is here to help you not only find inexpensive, but free scrapbooking supplies! The only thing you will need to complete your scrapbook project is a computer with internet access and a color printer.

Finding Your Free Scrapbooking Supplies On The Internet

While there are many sites dedicated to free scrapbooking supplies there are other alternatives to these as well. First you can start by looking at what the free sites have to offer. Most times this will include patterns and pictures that you can use to highlight and outline your scrapbook. Take a look through and make yourself familiar with what products they offer so that you can better apply some of the other things you find on the internet towards your project.

The next step towards making a unique scrapbook using free scrapbooking supplies is to pick a theme for your scrapbook. Whether it is dogs, skiing or G.I. Joes does not really matter as long you pick something to base the scrapbook around. The key to getting your free scrapbooking supplies and making them look expensive is to keep everything unified.

Once you have your theme you are now ready to begin looking. Do a search on your topic and find some images and color that go with it. Download as many different free images as you can so that you have a good palette to choose from. You can than load up a free picture editing software, or if you have Photoshop you can use that as well. I recommend Photoshop if you have it because it does a very good job of incorporating images from various sources into one image that can be printed as basic scrapbooking supplies.

Take your images that you want in the scrap book and start combining them with the free ones you downloaded. Try different angles, filters, textures as well resizing and blending the images into one coherent image. Once you have something that you feel fits with what you are looking for, simply print it out and add it as a page into your book. It is that easy.

As you can see using the internet for free scrapbooking supplies is simple and very cost effective. By following the instructions above you will be putting together a scrapbook in no time. These techniques can be applied to virtually any topic or theme, so get out there and start your one of kind scrapbook today.
