Pixel Scrapper - What a great way to add graphics and sentiments to your artwork!

 


Today I would like to give a shout out to Pixel Scrapper. I have been a member for many years and really enjoy the wonderful graphics they have on their site. I put this banner together in Photoshop Elements in less than five minutes. All the elements are from Marissa Lerin. The base is a tag that I added an arrow, sequins and a butterfly to. I would highly recommend their digital scrapbooking site. I use the graphics for homemade cards, tags, gift bags, ATC's, cut and paste and digital art. Check out the site. You will not be disappointed. 

♥ Wendy

Hi everybody!

First off I want to say a big thank you to Wendy for letting us write a guest post and introduce ourselves to you.

Today I want to just briefly let you know about who we are over at Pixel Scrapper.

We are a digital scrapbooking (that link will take you to a great, in-depth article that will let you know all about what digital scrapbooking is and how to get started in the craft) and graphics site.

At Pixel Scrapper you'll find some of the best graphics on the web (with a huge array of formats - PNG, PSD, SVG, and more), and they're completely free.

You heard me right - totally free. All you have to do is register an account and you'll get 5 premium-quality graphic downloads every single day.

And if that's not enough to scratch your itch or fill your graphics' need, then you can sign up for one of our unlimited-downloads subscriptions that go for an incredibly affordable price (and we even have a very generous commercial use license subscription available!). With our subscription you'll get unlimited downloads, as well as access to our kit and bundle downloads.

But we're more than just a digital scrapbooking site. We're a community. We have a very active forum, an open gallery, a live chat room, and more great features that help foster a sense of getting to know others and also be known by them.

We believe in doing life, and art, together! It's in that place that creativity can best be fostered and be the most lifegiving.

We have a manifesto that you can find on our site that will let you know about all the values that Pixel Scrapper was built on. Things like generosity, creativity, abundance. We believe that there is enough for everybody, and we believe in backing up that belief and showing it by giving away as much as we possibly can.

As a part of that, Pixel Scrapper is a Public Benefit Company, which means that we are held accountable by the community and that we put the good of the community ahead of profits.

We believe these things are important. Which is why we talk about them and share them.

If any of this resonates (or even if you simply want some really good graphics), you should come check out our site. You won't regret it.

(And introduce yourself on our forums! We'd love to hear from you.)
