In Pewter7's blog is a list of other blogs "The big Blog Collection" In this list are many scrapbooking elements, ideas, backgrounds etc. It will take you days to go through it but one I found with Genealogy Word Art was " Who's your daddy?"

Kristine...have you tried Gimp? I got Paint Shop Pro X for free awhile back, but I don't think it's free anymore. Here is the link for Gimp.

Hi everyone I just added some vintage capitals clip art to my genealogy blog. I find these fun to use as initials or as capitalization on the first word of a paragraph.
Enjoy!!

Where is everyone?

I just got an idea for a page I want to do. I like putting some "flesh" on all the names and dates in the family tree. If they immigrated, I like to have an idea why. I like to know how they lived and see where they lived. I just happened across a site showing and describing the houses of certain times and places, mainly in the 1700's. Some of my ancestors were from Germany and settled in PA. One article that I found was Virginia Frontier Culture Museum 1700s German Farm. I think I will use some of these pictures and scrap a page. I think this is a great way to put some flesh on all these old names..

Genealogy research and family history is what got me started into scrapbooking now I am a scrap-a-holic and a genealogy-a-holic

Katrina: I just joined this group, then checked out the website and you have really done an outstanding job!! I enjoyed the log cabin story and loved the way you illustrated it. Thanks for creating a website that will become very useful. Mary

I love to scrapbook too. I started two scrapbook pages at scrapbookflair, for those interested:

http://www.scrapbookflair.com/groups/Genealogy

http://www.scrapbookflair.com/groups/In_Memory_of

Or just go to my home page. You can download the free software and graphics, backgrounds, enhancements, etc. and if there are any of them you need to download in groups, they are very reasonable.

Unfortunately a lot of the really neat stuff is commercial, but usually quite reasonably priced. I owned an online scrapbook store for 4 years, and I did notice a distinct lack of kits made especially for genealogists. That's why I started my own line for it. You can find quite a bit of suitable material under the keywords heritage scrapping, but they base that on look and feel and colors, rather than including any genealogy specific things like wordart etc. I would love to see some of us here start designing and sharing things, how wonderful would that be?

I've done some searching for the free stuff and have gotten some, but can't seem to find the really neat stuff I see some folks use. I've played around and made some of my own, but I'm not an expert at that.
