Blog Trains

The best and least expensive way to build your stash for scrapbooking is to hop on board a Blog Train. This is also a great way to find digital scrapbooking blogs, FB pages, and stores. Here are a few suggestions of what you should do while downloading kits from the list of designers in a Blog Train:

1. Make a folder on your computer with the name of the Blog Train
2. Download each kit into that folder.
3. Bookmark the designer’s page where you download the kit.
4. Leave a comment thanking them for taking the time to be a part of the train, and for sharing their talent.

While most Blog Train kits are for Personal Use Only, there are a few designers that provide Commercial Use kits as well. So Blog Trains are also good for building a CU stash for those who design their own kits. Always be mindful of the Terms of Use for each designer.

There are several different types of Blog Trains. Some trains have a common theme and color palette. Some trains have a common theme, and let the designers pick their own color palette, and some have a common color palette, and let the designers pick their own theme. Most trains run for one month, however, they all have their own start dates.

Another thing to remember about Blog Trains is that the designers live all over the world, so if someone’s site isn’t up and running by the date and time specified you will need to check back. I usually wait two or three days into the train to visit all the sites so that I don’t have to check back later.

Here are some current Blog Trains to visit for the month of June.
