New: DigitalScrapbook.com Manifesto

DigitalScrapbook.com didn't just spring up as a random weekend hobby: rather, it has always had a strong foundation of intentionality. For me and Jordan this site is about more than digital scrapbooking, forums, and freebies: it's a place for us to live what we believe with regards to pursuing creative work and empowering others to do the same, with regards to generous distribution and licensing, and with regards to fostering a spirit of abundance. We believe that creativity is important, that creativity wants to be generous, and that optimism is better than pessimism if given a choice.

I think you can see our philosophy at work throughout DigitalScrapbook.com, from the daily "choose your own" freebies to our positive TOUs, but we thought it was time to get some of these thoughts down on paper, so we've written up a first draft of a DigitalScrapbook.com Manifesto. You can read it online, or download the PDF.

This is a first draft, so it's still a bit rough around the edges, but feel free to leave a comment, or send us an email with your feedback: we always love hearing from you.

As a side note, I'll just say that if the manifesto resonates with you, and you believe in what we're trying to do here, if you've enjoyed all the freebies and our positive TOUs, please consider supporting us by becoming a subscriber. DigitalScrapbook.com will only be able to exist as it is, in the long run, if you're willing to help us keep this dream alive.
