Digital scrapbook forums: where digi scrappers post in 2026
Most digital scrapbook forums belong to a kit shop: GingerScraps, The Lilypad, Sweet Shoppe and Oscraps all run one with galleries and monthly challenges. Scrapbook Campus is built around teaching.
Browsing and posting are free.
Digital scrapbookers have kept their forums longer than paper scrapbookers have, because the shops that sell kits use them to run challenges, and a challenge often earns a free kit.
We checked each forum below on 27 October 2026 from its own pages or from what Google holds of it.

Why most digital forums sit inside a shop
A kit shop gains when you use its papers and elements, so it hosts a gallery and sets a challenge each month. Your layout credits the kit, and others go and buy it.
That keeps these forums busy, but the talk centres on that shop's designers. If you use kits from many shops, you may want two or three forums.
Where Pixel Scrapper went
Pixel Scrapper was a large free digital scrapbooking site with its own gallery. Its old address now forwards to DigitalScrapbook.com, which uses the Pixel Scrapper name on its Facebook page.
Posting a digital layout
Export a JPEG at 600 pixels on the long side for most galleries, under the size limit the forum sets. Keep the full-size file for printing.
List the kits and templates by designer. Most shop forums ask for this, and some challenges count only layouts that use the shop's products.
Where the tbf scrapbook community fits
It is not tied to one shop. A digital page sits beside paper and hybrid pages, and its materials list can name kits from anywhere.
You can post a page made in tbf scrapbook straight from the studio, or upload a layout made in Photoshop Elements, Affinity or Canva.

Questions
What is the biggest digital scrapbooking forum?
GingerScraps and The Lilypad were the busiest we found in 2026, each with challenges running every month. Sweet Shoppe and Oscraps run steady challenges too.
Is DigiShopTalk still running?
Its site would not open for us on 27 October 2026, and what Google shows of it is mostly old Pinterest pins. We could not confirm it is active.
Can I post a layout made in Canva or Photoshop Elements?
Yes, in any of these forums. Shop challenges may require their own kits; the tbf scrapbook community takes a layout from any program.
