What our customer's say!"Promises More Than It Delivers", I thought that the price was right, and Amazon always delivers in a hurry, so I
got out my credit card. I'm still happy about the price and the delivery, but the program is pretty bad.
It is very slow to start up (always a problem with Broderbund software), and the
templates are very simplistic - not at all anything I would want to send out to family or friends.
On the plus side: You don't have to be a computer 'expert' to use the program,
and thus it could be a very useful tool as an introduction to Digital Scrapbooking.
For beginners, though, my choice would be Scrapbook Flair which is available
as a free download, and has many free backgrounds, embelishments and templates
ready to download from their website.
I have been really impressed with PhotoShop Elements as a very flexible tool for creating Digital Scrapbook pages.
It's a lot of trouble to learn, but the results are worth it.
"This is an abomination", This is an abomination. The GUI has to be seen to be believed. No, its not in a window. It hijacks your entire desktop. Its like what you'd get if you dosed up a reetard with some good acid and locked them in a white tiled bathroom with a box of fluorescent crayons. Most mind-boggling of all, it swallows up *600+* mb of your hard drive. And that is a minimal install which requires you keep the CD mounted so you can access the graphics libraries! There should be capital punishment for releasing this kind of software.
"American Greetings Scrapbook & More 7", Very easy to use and you can start with a blank sheet and do whatever you want with the page. I used it all the time to make genealogy pages for family members. I couldn't do that if I couldn't start with a blank page.
I have recommended the program for friends who want to make collages because the creativity is all up to you and you can do so much.
Just have to play with it.
"I'm disappointed with this product.", My main complaint with this software is that you can't begin with a "blank" project. The only way to make a scrapbook page, (or any project for that matter), is to start with a predesigned project and then recustomize it to suit your needs. While there are plenty of nice fonts to choose from, I find the clip art to be very cartoonish - way too cutesy for the elegant pages I am used to creating on my own.
I think this software is much more suitable for children due to the overall look of the projects. For the dedicated scrapbooker, I would suggest looking around for software that will create a more professional finished project.
"Totally Useless!", I thought since this was compatible with Windows XP, it would be very advanced with everything I could possible want. It isn't, it is no diffent than PrintMaster, same fonts, clipart, etc. Don't waste your money on this program. Wish I hadn't.
