Feature Set:  

>Site:

Two Peas In A Bucket has been around since February of 1999 and is a well-respected scrapbooking site. The site offers great educational tutorials for physical and digital scrapbookers in online, video and download formats. There is a lot going on throughout the site from both a visual and informational standpoint which can become overwhelming fairly quickly. The minimal number of free downloads offered are buried deep within various categories and many are no longer available but are still displayed.

Community:

Two Peas’ strong community consists of multiple blogs, emailed monthly newsletter, user gallery, user forum, top 10 lists, polls and challenges.

Store:

The store has a Wish List feature (one of the few sites we reviewed that does) which makes it easy to keep track of items you really want but can’t or don’t want to buy immediately. You can even have multiple wish lists for different projects, events or topics.

The drawback to the store is the confusion created because they sell everything (physical and digital) through one store so it’s very possible that you’ll find a product you love only to discover it’s not a digital download, it’s an actual piece. It’s far too easy to accidentally end up on the physical elements side of the store.

Two Peas In A Bucket’s digital site feels somewhat like an afterthought. The community element is very strong but the site’s organization is confusing and difficult to navigate.
