This is a great site. It’s full of creative ideas, tutorials and it’s nicely organized. I haven’t taken any of the classes but I’ve heard good things from some of our Picaboo Pros.
Shauna recommends this site as it’s a great way to meet new designers. Each month they choose a theme and color scheme and several designers submit mini-kits that align with the theme and colors. This site offers a mix of free and inexpensive kits.
This site is full of cute seasonal kits. You can find great seasonal kits starting at just $1. For December, check out her “Festival Fun” kit. It’s adorable and would add real fun to a kid’s book!
This site feels like a department store. There are many departments and tons of kits and one-off embellishments to choose from. You may want to set aside extra time to search through this site as it’s a bit hard to navigate. But it’s worth it.
This site has it all. Great looking and creative kits, a gallery featuring fun and innovative layouts and even a phrase guide where you can find the perfect quote for any themed-book. And each month features a different free download. This month is Game Night. How fun is that!
This site has a fun plan. Sign up for their daily email and you get one paper or element delivered to your inbox each day. At the end of the month, you’ll have the whole kit.
Embellishments are great for family and school pictures.
In some of the picaboo book examples I see exactly the embellishment I need for a project. But I spend hours looking for it and can’t find it anywhere. Is there any chance that you could list the embellishment sites that are used in each particular page…. or book?
I also offer free kits on digitalphotobookpages.blogspot.com
Thanks for the mention Picaboo!
