A designer I really like, Mo Jackson, is offering a free kit at her website, www.mojackson.com... you have to do a survey, but hey you get a great free kit! Here's a Layout I did with her free Melissa's Garden kit...

Everything except from the green ribbon is from the free kit... and there's more to it, it's really cute. :)
Also, the Shabby Princess has a new free kit at her site, www.shabbyprincess.com that is really nice! :)
Just thought I would share!

just so you know, u've created an addict!!! i gave in to the peer pressure... i'm scouring the web looking for free kits. all of my pictures WILL be on digi-scrap pages (do u here me using lingo? "digi-scrap") i haven't bought any kits yet - do you have ones you suggest that i purchase? i must feed this addiction.
the computer will have to be pryed from my hands!!

That's awesome Amy! :) It's so much fun. :tu
I would start by playing around with free kits that you find... maybe start by doing some "scraplifting" where you copy someone's layout, or do a challenge (RAKscraps.com has a challenge section, may give you inspiration). Start a "favorites" files at one of the websites that has galleries... after a while you will start to notice what "styles" you are drawn to, and that will probably give you an idea of what kits might appeal to you... I have some favorite designers myself that I can recommend... I love www.thedigichick.com, www.digitaldesignessentials.com, www.playonelements.com and Jen Wilson who sells her stuff at scrapbook-bytes.com. I also love cottagearts.net and escrappers.com for their wonderful tutorials! :)
But the free kits that I have posted here are really great, and you could probably do quite a few pages with the free kits you've found. :) I try to buy kits that I can think of 2-3 photos or layouts that I could use them for, or if they have "elements" that I really like that I know I could use in different ways. :)

Do you need a digital scrapbooking program to use them?

You just need a general program like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop Elements or similar... I *believe* if you go the to photoshop website there is a free trial program you can download to try it out!
