Pixel Scrapper: Digital Scrapbooking in Community

At Pixel Scrapper we are a digital graphics site primarily oriented around and to digital scrapbookers. (Don't know anything about digital scrapbooking? Check out our easy-to-read and in-depth article right here.)

Values that Change Lives

Marisa Lerin founded the site on values of generosity, creativity, and connection, with the goal of creating a space on the internet for digital scrapbookers (really digital artists of any kind) to find community, be inspired in their craft, and to do it all in an atmosphere that rejects the mentality that there's not enough to go around and instead celebrates being open handed and sharing the work we create.

Features that Make a Difference

These values play out in a lot of different ways. Through heaps of great, to-the-point tutorials. Articles on a wide variety of topics connected to digital scrapbooking and the digital arts world that you'll find on Marisa's blog. A forums that is hopping with all kinds of friendly, helpful discussions. An open gallery where members can upload their layouts (that don't have to be made exclusively from Pixel Scrapper graphics) and find inspiration. A Commons where designers, from beginners to advanced, can hone their designing abilities and get helpful feedback and quality control in a safe and encouraging environment.

And positive, uplifting interactions and comments on anything you upload or post to the site.

These are just some of the great features you'll find at Pixel Scrapper — there are plenty more to be discovered once you come and spend some time on the site.

Thousands of Free Graphics for Commercial Use

But what about the graphics? Because we are, after all, a graphics site.

To stand by our value of generosity, every user that registers for free receives five free downloads of their choice, daily. And these downloads can be under either personal or commercial use licenses, and are premium graphics of the highest quality that come in a variety of file formats.

Thanks to our highly faceted site search, you can find exactly what you're looking for, in the shortest time possible, and choose whatever you want or need from our collection of over 150,000 graphics (at the time of this writing) that gets added to daily.

The Netflix of Digital Scrapbooking

But what if you want or need more than 5 downloads a day? We have a great solution for you.

In keeping with our value for generosity, we built the site using a subscription model rather than a typical storefront. This has made us the Netflix of digital scrapbooking, by helping us to streamline and make digital scrapbooking affordable like never before.

To demonstrate what I mean, let's run a scenario. With our subscription you could download 5 kits a day, every day, for a month. If there are 30 days in that month, that's 150 kits. Even if we choose a low average price for a kit, let's say $5, that should cost at least $750 at any other site. That's not even beginning to hit the full worth of one of our subscriptions, and it's already paying for itself dozens of times over. There's nowhere else in digital scrapbooking you'll find this kind of value.

No more agonizing over whether or not to drop $5-10 more on another kit that you’re not sure you can either afford or that you'll use. Pay only once a month, or once a year, an affordable flat-rate and download as much as you want, when you want. No more limits, no more struggle to stay under your budget.

Want to browse our collection of kits? Just head here.

And these subscriptions aren't just for hobbyists. We wanted to provide a space for designers and professionals as well. So we built a commercial use license that's as flexible and freeing as we could make it.

Your Life Will be Enriched

I could go on. About our beautiful manifesto that puts in writings all of these values. About our being a public benefit company that seeks to serve the common good. Or about the great team and community that really make Pixel Scrapper the special place that it is.

But words can only do so much. Come visit us. Experience us and the site and all that it has to offer. Discover the joys of creative memory keeping in digital format. The joys of doing it in community and connection. The joys of getting and giving generously connected to your craft.

Your life will be enriched for it.
