Because there are so many Internet-savvy scrapbook supply designers today, there’s an abundance of free vintage scrapbook papers and embellishments. As long as you know how to do a Web search and download files, you can have an almost endless supply of images to create beautiful scrapbooks. That’s why famous artist Mary Englebreit recently remarked that the Web is a great source of scrapbooking designs that will yield nearly anything you might need. And she should know about good images; products featuring her designs sell like hotcakes!

The following are some samples of the types of free scrapbook graphics I’ve found on the Internet:

Antique
There seems to be an upsurge in the number of people looking for vintage scrapbook supplies. That could be because antique art is so timeless and creates such gorgeous results. Antique cards make terrific vintage scrapbook embellishments, as does antique clipart. And if you’re lucky enough to find vintage designs on digital scrapbook papers, you’ll have the best of both worlds. Antique designs also cover a wide variety of subjects, which means you can find images as diverse as Victorian fashion illustrations, magic show posters, vintage flowers, vintage cat clip art and vintage travel art. So whatever subject you’re trying to cover in your scrapbook, you can probably find antique art to match.

Holiday
The holidays just naturally invite scrapbooking, since those are the times we gather with friends and family to create special memories. And Christmas, Easter, Halloween and Valentine’s Day aren’t the only holidays that make people want to create scrapbooks; many people are interested in the minor holidays too. You can find lots of patriotic scrapbooking papers and embellishments on the Internet for holidays such as Veterans Day, Fourth of July, Memorial Day and Flag Day. There are also images suitable for Earth Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and just about any other holiday you can think of; even the off-beat and downright bizarre ones.

Floral and Butterfly
I’ve definitely noticed that people who scrapbook love flowers, and who can blame them? They’re appropriate for almost any occasion. Butterflies attract a large audience too, because they bring to mind so many things we love: freedom, summertime and other happy things. Butterfly and flower images are also diverse, because you can find them in both illustration and photographic form, and in modern and vintage forms. You can even find free butterfly scrapbooking papers that have coordinating modern and vintage designs available in the same collections.

Weddings
Weddings and scrapbooks were naturally made to go together, because wedding photo albums have always been traditional anyway. But if you can make it a wedding scrapbook instead, you can preserve your memories in an even more creative way. There are many good free wedding scrapbook images on the Web that will allow you to create one of these very special mementos with no or little cost. And if you can’t find any specifically for weddings, flower scrapbook images will often do just as well.

Babies
As is the case with wedding ceremonies, the birth and growth years of a baby often generate a lot of pictures. And, of course, people who scrapbook love to use those photos to create family keepsakes. Fortunately, this can be done for next to nothing using just scrapbooking designs from the Web. If you’re not up on baby images, however, you might be surprised to learn that the colors are less traditional than they used to be. Burnt orange, chocolate brown and red are all the rage, as well as a few specific 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 need scrapbooking materials, check the Internet. You might be pleasantly surprised at the free images you’ll find.
