You don't necessarily have to be a scrapbooker to use these scrapbook layouts, embellishments and borders, because they're great for Easter crafts and handmade greeting cards and ecards too. But if you are a scrapbooker, you'll probably find a lot of use for these.

I designed two sets of scrapbook layout components in Picnik, the free online graphics program anyone can use. (To learn how to use it yourself, read my tutorial on how to make clip art with Picnik.) The first set is brightly colored and features a mother chicken, her eggs and one of her chicks. This whimsical set includes two full layout pages, two borders, Easter eggs that can be scattered around the page and matching Easter egg photo frames.

The second set is more subdued and features pastel colors. There are full-page layouts with various patterns of repetitive stripes in subtle colors that include Easter eggs, mother chickens, baby chicks and butterflies. These are accompanied by a butterfly sticker, an Easter egg border and a full page of pastel purple that can be used to create solid color accents or color panels.

There are a variety of ways these scrapbook layouts, embellishments and borders can be used. Please see below for instructions.

Choose a small thumbnail version of any of the Easter scrapbook paper images in the right column. When you click on one of the images, it will appear larger.

IMPORTANT: Once you've chosen an image and see it larger, double-click on the larger image, which will make the best version of the art appear. Sorry for the extra step, but this will give you the highest quality art.

Then, if you have a PC, just right-click and save the final version of the artwork to your hard drive. If you're a Mac user, control-click the image until you get a pop-up menu that will give you an option to save the file on your hard drive.

Note to Internet Explorer users: You may have to click one more time after following the instructions above. In other words, click on the image that comes up after clicking on the large image.

Once you have the images on your hard drive, you can do one of the following:

• Size a full-page layout in a word processing document and print it.
  
• Size the images individually in a word processing document and print them. You can then cut them out and paste them on your page. Printing on card stock would work best for this.
  
• Create your own digital layouts in a Word document, using the mix-and-match components from within a set.
• You can also create digital scrapbook pages in a graphics program. Using digital techniques removes the restrictions inherent in paper scrapbooks and lets you implement whatever scrapbooking ideas you can dream up.
