Downloading Your First Kit

Creating a digital scrapbook page is so much fun, but before you can get started you will need a digital scrapbooking kit to work with.

Step 1 - Choosing your kit

With so many great digital scrapbooking kits out there to choose from it can see a bit overwhelming. Don't stress. Most kits are very affordable or even free and remember you can reuse your kits as many times as you like. Here is a link to our Free Mini Kits.

Step 2, a - Downloading a free kit.

Once you've found a free kit you like simply click the image or download link ( this will vary depending on the site) to start your download. A new window will now pop up. Choose Save and click.

Step 2, b - Purchasing your kit.

If you choose to purchase a kit you will want to start by adding it to your cart. You can then continue shopping or check out. This will again vary slightly by site. Many site will offer discount codes. I you make a purchase at our Digital Shopping Center, just enter the code GettingStarted to save 20% off our already low sale prices. In our shopping cart you will need to click the Update Cart button after entering your code. Then just click on the Paypal button, follow the directions and enter in you information. Don't worry you don't need  a Paypal account to make a purchase. They will simply process your credit card info.

Once your payment has been processed you will be redirect to a download page and your will also receive a conformation email containing your download info. In most cases you will need to download your kits within 72 hrs of your purchase. To do this just click the links.
 

Step 3 - Unzipping your kit.

When your download has completed you may need to un-zip the file. To do this double click on the icon and choose the Extract All or Extract To option. You can now choose the location to save your new kit. I would recommend creating a Digital Scrapbooking folder within your My Documents folder.

If you don't have an un-zipping program installed on your computer you can go to WinZip to download one.

Step 4 - Opening your kits.

To use your new kit you will first need to open up your photoediting software. Go to Edit mode. Then go to the File dropdown menu and choose Open. Then navigate to the location where you saved your kit and select the papers/embellishments you want to use.
