Want To Jump On My Band Wagon?

Are you thinking to yourself "Hey! That looks kind of fun. I wonder how I can try it out without going to any expense." Funny you should ask! I am going to list a few of my favorite places that give away GREAT free digi-kits. These kits have everything you could need or want to put together a great page...or two...or ten. Once you get your feet wet (and yourself properly addicted), there are stores attached to the free-links from where you can purchase MORE kits. Kits aren't a huge expense either...they typically run $3.50-$7 and yes, the stores do hold SALES!! :)

Some of the sites require that you register in order to access their amazing freebies. It's quick and painless - I've registered at all these sites and I have not been spammed by any of them.

I'm telling you - this is an amazingly fun hobby! Give it a try. What do you have to lose? :)

Well I am at work right now, so no point in checking any of them. However, if I check them, and I make cute pictures, and I like them... Well, I may have to hurt you. Just so you know.
Yours are so cute and I have been risisting the urge to give it a go. But maybe I will.
Do you print them on plain paper, or do you just keep them online?

I print them out on photo quality paper (I use matte since I don't like the look of glossy paper), save them on my HD *and* save them to CD. :)

I was thinking it might be fun some night to hold an on-line class for those who want to learn. We can all meet on AIM or MSN and go through it step by step. It really isn't that hard once you get the initial page or two done. I can crank one out in under an hour - I have a few I did in 20 minutes. :)
