Because there are so many Internet-savvy scrapbook material designers today, the Internet is full of free scrapbook images that can be downloaded for no charge. That means all you need to know is how to do an online search and download files and you can have an almost endless supply of designs to create beautiful scrapbooks. That’s why popular artist Mary Englebreit recently remarked that the Web is so overflowing with terrific free digital scrapbook supplies, it can provide virtually any type of images you might need. And she’s an authority on good images; products with her illustrations on them fly off the shelves as soon as they’re released!

Here are some of the types of free scrapbook designs available:

Antique

There seems to be an rise in the number of people looking for antique scrapbook graphics. Maybe that’s because vintage art is so timeless and doesn’t date the final product to any particular modern era. Greeting cards from times long gone make great vintage scrapbooking embellishments, as does antique clipart. And when you can find digital scrapbooking papers made from compilations of vintage images, you’ll experience digital meeting traditional in a beautiful and useful way. Antique designs also cover a wide variety of subjects, including images as diverse as vintage travel posters, free vintage flower scrapbook embellishments, Victorian fashion illustrations, magic show posters and old sailing ships. So whatever subject you’re trying to cover in your scrapbook, there’s probably vintage art to match.

Holiday

The holidays are great subjects for scrapbooking, since those are the occasions when many of us create some of our most lasting memories. And it’s not just the “showier” holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day and Halloween that inspire scrapbooks; it’s the minor holidays too. There are all kinds of patriotic scrapbooking papers and embellishments online for holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Fourth of July and Flag Day. There are also many images out there for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Earth Day and any other holiday you can think of; even the off-beat and downright bizarre ones.

Butterflies and Flowers

People who scrapbook seem to love flowers of all kinds, and who can blame them? They’re appropriate for almost any occasion. Butterflies attract a large audience too, because they represent summertime, freedom, happiness and other cheerful things. Flowers and butterflies are also diverse, because an abundance of them can be found as both illustrations and photos, and in modern and vintage styles. There are even butterfly scrapbooking papers that have coordinating modern and vintage designs available in the same collections.

Weddings

Weddings and scrapbooks were made to go together, because wedding photo albums have always been traditional anyway. But a wedding scrapbook can preserve your memories in an even more creative way. There is a surprisingly good selection of wedding scrapbooking images online that will allow you to create a lasting memento for little or no cost. And if you can’t find any specifically for weddings, flower scrapbook images will often do just as well.

Babies

Like weddings, the birth and growth years of a baby often generate a lot of photos. And, of course, scrapbookers love to use those photos to create family heirlooms. Fortunately, you can find a huge selection of scrapbook designs for babies. If you’re not up on baby images, however, you might find the color schemes a little surprising these days. Chocolate brown, burnt orange and red are popular, as are various shades of green. Blue and pink are still popular, of course, but these days there are many bold color choices too.

So the next time you go looking for scrapbook materials, check out what’s available on the Web. You might find some amazing free things.
