How does ScrapbookScrapbook.com  work ??

NOTE: We have changed all our sets to FREE.  For us to continue, we need you to do two things. Link to our site, &  tell your friends about us  !! And making a donation using the PayPal or Amazon links below is important.

All of our scrapbook paper design sets are now in .pdf form. 

If you do not already have a pdf reader installed on your computer to open our files, we suggest that you get the free Foxit Reader. 

Now a note of explanation about the original sets:

When I started making my sets about 1999 most people used slow dial up connections, and I looked for a good way to compress the big full size, color graphics in a file size that small enuf to be downloaded successfully by most people. Back then eFax was called Hotsend, didn't have any restrictions on my using it and like so many things on the web then, it was a great little free utility. It made the prefect vehicle for super small files that people with slow dial up connections could download without errors. The file size was much smaller and better quality than the Adobe PDF files. And had much better printing choices--still does. Then things changed---they started adding ads, then the pop-ups, and I was kinda stuck. 

When you download a set of scrapbook graphics from us in the first format we used, the eFax software,  you instantly download an entire set of pages which print from a self-extracting viewer. The viewer allows you to see each page full size, scroll between each page on your screen, and print each page individually in a variety of sizes to suit your needs. You can open the viewer and print as many copies of each page as you want for personal use, whenever you need them. It is like a mini program that will reside on your own computer after you complete the download. You will be licensed to use the graphics for your own personal use.

Now, on with the How-to info:

If the concept of downloading is new to you, please go to this download help page for info and an illustrated tutorial.

This is a reduced size screen shot of what the viewer window in our old sets looked like, containing the graphics set.

This happens to be a shot of the Paws & Gardens Graphics Set, scrolled about half the way down. You can see the thumbnails of each page on the left and the full size page on the right. Across the top of the viewer are options to enlarge or reduce the view, zoom in , or print. When you close the viewer, it will exist as a little icon on your desktop (or zip disc, etc or where ever you place it) (The file of a complete set is larger than a small 'floppy' disc can hold.) TIP: You will be able to print any page, any time. You can even print a pastel version by changing your printer to 'economy' or 'draft' mode when printing. See our Print Tips page for ways to really save on ink. Our FREE sets are free because of our wonderful advertisers !!

When we sold the sets rather than giving them away, we had a page telling about the free samples.
