***hint***read this whole post to see how you could win a free month!

A lot of you have had some really good questions about the ScrapHD Club Membership, so I decided to dedicate an entire blog post to clarify..Hopefully this will answer most of your questions, but AS ALWAYS please let me know if there is anything else on your mind. Soooo, here’s the skinny on the differences between a free membership and a Club Membership

i like FREE

Here is a quick overview of what you can do for free on ScrapHD!

~Number one, you can create and save up to 100 scrapbook pages. You can also upload up to 100 personal photos at a time. If you exceed 100, don’t worry, just delete the ones you’ve already used in your scrapbooks and replace them with new photos. Your photos WILL REMAIN in the scrapbooks they are already saved in. You can also share  your scrapbooks across the web- email, facebook, twitter, blogs, etc! And COMING SOON you’ll be able to order professional prints.

i DO like free, but I LOOOOVE A BARGAIN even more!!!

Why should you upgrade to a Club Membership??? I’ve got a list of reasons, one of them being that you can save up to 1,000 scrapbook pages at a time! I can honestly tell you that $9.99/month or $99/year (that’s 2 months free if you do the math!) is a steal when you break down everything you get…

UNLIMITED USE of DIGI DESIGNS FROM 14 TOP PAPER MANUFACTURERS!?!?

ummmm, 7gypsies, American Crafts, Art Gone Wild, Imaginisce, Jenni Bowlin, Kaisercraft, Karen Foster, Mrs. Grossman’s, My Mind’s Eye, Piggy Tales, SEI, Teresa Collins, Three Bugs, and We R Memory Keepers, anyone??!?

It almost sounds too good to be true. Think about it…on some sites you have to calculate what each and every background and embellishment is costing you. This paper may be a dollar, while this butterfly is 30 cents…By the time you’ve created just one page it can really get pricey! (Especially if you like to do a lot of layering like I do! ) Then what if you want to print that layout or scrapbook? That will be an additional cost on other sites. With ScrapHD you’ve used AS MANY designs as you can possibly fit on the page AND you can print it for one low fee! Which leads me into just that -

Print from Home!

The print from home feature is incredible. For no extra fee we will provide the high resolution (300dpi) .jpg file of your scrapbook! If you have a 12″ printer, great! You’ll be able to print those 12×12’s no problem. If you don’t have a 12″ printer,  you can still print your 5×7’s or 8×8’s! (*note 8×8 and 12×12 layouts are interchangeable when it comes to printing because they are both square).

The high resolution file that you use for printing can also be used for so much more! You can use that to post to galleries that except .jpg formats, you can create twitter backgrounds, desktop backgrounds, and so much more!

Ok, so those are two of the most obvious reasons to upgrade, but there are even more. Have you dabbled in digital scrapbooking before? Do you have a digi “stash” somewhere on your computer or external hard drive? Do you like browsing for digital freebies? Do you design your own digital elements? Or maybe you’re excited that another paper manufacturer has gone digital, but they aren’t currently a partner with ScrapHD? If you said yes to ANY of those questions then you’ll like this next one….

Upload any JPEG or PNG file!

This is AWESOME! When you purchase digital files or find freebies on the web you will notice that all of the embellishments come as .png files and the backgrounds come as .jpg files. So, in addition to the thousands of backgrounds and embellies available to our Club Members you can upload even more!

Upload multiple photos at a time!

I would put money on it that 98% of you out that have TONS of photos you still need to scrapbook We’ve included a little time saver for Club Members. Rather than waiting for each and every photo to upload individually, you can hold down that handy Ctrl button on your keyboard and highlight as many photos as you’d like to upload all at once! Love it!

We then figured, if you’re going to be uploading multiple photos (Club Members can save up to 1,000 at a time on the site!) then we should also probably give you a way to organize them…Hence the next Club Member benefit..

Organize your photos/uploaded files into folders!

For example, I have folders set up for all of my Winter Photos, Niece and Nephew, .png files, Family, etc. So when I’m creating a new scrapbook they are nicely saved right in my ScrapHD account and easily accessible! It definitely beats having to scroll through multiple pages of photos to find the ones I want to use.

…and last, but not least

Access to exclusive Club Member contests and prizes!

Right now we are running the Scrap Your Pet Contest. Club Members have the chance to win $50 to their favorite scrapbook store!

So there you have it. I think I broke it down so you all could understand it a little better! I’m giving away a free month long Club Membership on our Facebook page right now. All you have to do is comment on the post that asks which Club Member feature you’d like the most! Hurry because I said I was going to pick a winner today – unfortunately my blog post kept getting pushed later and later today, but you still have time! Go post your comment right now and I’ll pick the random winner tomorrow!

Have a great night! xoxo,
