I'm trying to do a little digital scrapbooking.

There are sites with FREE papers, elements, etc.

My favorite one is:
www.gottapixel.com
Lots of cool layouts and plenty of stuff going on - all the time.

Another favorite is:
http://www.digitalfreebies.com

Digital freebies has free stuff every Friday.

a place with a lot of quilt links:

http://www.wishuponaquilt.com/links.html

The manufacturers have lots of free quilt patterns.
