Have you visited PIXEL SCRAPPER yet? Be sure to visit one of my favorite go-to websites !!!


               I found Pixel Scrapper when I joined a creative team for a digital designer and was looking for an open gallery to showcase my layouts. I had no idea how much this little corner of the web would completely change my daily creative habits. I started digital scrapbooking after a vacation in 2008. That creative obsession led to joining forces with another creative scrapper and starting a digital design business of our own. After several years we both went in different creative directions and moved onto other business ventures. Just recently over the last year when the pandemic hit, I started to focus on creating some freebie items again. I found some amazing designers who had commercial use items here for download and I started logging on daily to get my five free images. I built up a nice little stash and started working with some of those items to see what I could create. Those few commercial use items that I worked with from this site jump started a creative explosion in my world and a necessary distraction from what was going on around us and globally.

                I finished one whole vacation book that I had been trying to finish for 10 years. I relaunched my blog and started offering up freebies to see what kind of attention I could drum up. I got a lot of wonderful comments and even my layouts garnered some extra added attention. I was hooked …. and it was all thanks to Pixel Scrapper!!! I started browsing the page kits section which can be found here:  https://www.digitalscrapbook.com/browse/kits . And then I got a link to download an entire kit for free. There was no way I was going to pass that opportunity up. The toughest part was trying to decide what amazing kit to get. And at that point I started making a personal wish list of all the kits I wanted from this site.

                Pixel Scrapper has everything any creative individual would need. First, the community is amazing. I always become creatively distracted when I log on and see the gallery page. The members comments are kind and their words make you feel positive about your work knowing others enjoy them as much as you do. And then I always must log in and pick up any new commercial items that catch my eye. Like I said it has become a daily obsession. I can share my own layouts and creativity and be inspired by others as well. I have also for a few years got into the Project Life obsession. There are so many resources here at Pixel Scrapper as well for that. I am currently using some in my Project Life for 2021 right now.

                I recently got a Cricut machine as a gift and I have also used some commercial use items to cut out on cards and personal little items I have made for myself here at home. There are so many things you can find here at Pixel Scrapper that will get your creative juices flowing. If you are looking for an inspiring place to find kits and items to jump start your creativity, then this is the place to be. I hope you find the creative spark you are looking for. And if you have any questions the members here are kind and extremely helpful. Be sure to drop by the forum section and look at all the information there is available. This is in my opinion, one stop shopping for my creative habit and I am sure in time it will be yours as well.
