What our customer's say!

"Scrapbooking software", Product is good except when you click on graphics for a certain image they have listed you get a message saying it is not available. If so why is it even listed?

"Very limited.", The pre-created templates are predominantly ugly and unappealing.

Creating one of your own is easy enough, but in saving item, I was very disappointed that the page couldn't be saved as a jpg or other photo format. Only being able to save in scrapbooking format or pdf is a very poor design idea.

I had really hoped for something better.

"Good Program", Some of the reviews I've read said that this is just like Printmaster software. I've been using an old Printmaster Gold for years, and it's still my favorite graphics software. But Creative Scrapbooking is so much more, and so fun just to check out the ready-made pages for inspiration, if nothing else.
I love it, and consider it money well-spent.

"Versatile Scrapbooking Software!", I use Art Explosion Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 2.0 (which I love) as well HP Creating Keepsakes software (not very intuitive-- beautiful, but requires more creativity & designing on the user's part). This Broderbund software is a good complement to what I already own. It is very easy to use, especially the pre-designed templates. Very easy to change the pre-written text, or insert your own photo. A drawback is that the photos need to be manually rotated when inserted into a tilted frame. (Use the rotation arrow at the bottom right-hand corner & know your 360 degrees!) The only other drawback that I can see is that I must insert a "Program CD" to access the templates & images (maybe that's just my computer.) The advantage with this software over the Scrapbook Factory Deluxe is that the images are more current and less tacky. The disadvantage is the organization of the images. I am still figuring out where to find the embellishments and clipart I'm looking for. Maybe it's just a matter of time before I am fully used to navigating this software.

"Wow Wow Four kids and still saying Wow", I can't believe this program. I bought it last year and I have over 300 scrapbook pages completed. I have four children 7,5,2, and 4 months old. I can honestly say that I will never scrapbook the traditional way ever ever again. It is so fast and easy. I will be all up to date with my scrapbooking by Christmas 2005. I am overjoyed. I don't believe I know anyone who scrapbooks traditionaly, that is up to date. I have promoted this product to atleast 50 women. Thank you so much for making my life easier and a whole lot of fun.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"don't try and ask broderbund for any help", When I purchased this software I was very excited to get it installed onto my computer.
I am not a computer wiz, my computer seemed to meet the system requirements but I couldnt get the program completely
installed to the computer. I kept getting a message saying it was still installing, even after 8 hours.
Finally I emailed broderbund for some assistance, that ws almost 2 days ago. Their website advises that emails are responded to with in 8-10 hours if you contact them over the weekend or on a monday.
I still haven't heard from them.
After reading the previous reviews I have decided to return the program.
Maybe it was better that I didnt get the program installed on the computer, I might have been even further disappointed.

"Colossal Disappointment", I'm a huge scrapbooker, and - much to my husband's dismay - I seem to buy anything and everything that contains the word "Scrapbook." But, I've got to tell you, Creating Keepsakes really let me down.

Turns out that most of the truly good templates depicted on the box reside in something called the "Idea Vault." That is not a happy place because it amounts to a series of PDF thumbnails that are completely uneditable and completely unusable in the software. And the templates that are available are pretty crummy.

I'm sorry, but it's just not fair to include designs on the box - much less boast of the idea vault as a "feature" (gimme a break) - when they're just not available to people who buy the software. I can't recommend Creating Keepsakes. But I do own Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 2.0 (of course ... it has the word "Scrapbook" in it :-) and that I can heartily endorse.

"Fun but...", I have to say I'm disappointed. The "new" Creating Keepsakes (CK) fonts advertised are not really new at all - they're from CK's original font collections, which I already own. The CK art, too, is from their CD packages. Like another reviewer stated, the whole workspace and basic set-up really isn't any different than other Broderbund programs, either. I just invested in the new Printmaster version - this program isn't very different at all. The main advantage I see is its ability to create layouts/projects in 12x12, except I don't have a printer that can do that.

It's a good program if you don't already own anything by CK or any of Broderbund's creativity software, but I give the program 2 stars because of its lack of originality and what I consider to be deceptive advertising.

"Don't Waste Your Time!", I am a longtime scrapbooker and ordered this right away when it came out. Well I got it today and guess what - it's just Print Shop all over again. How many times does Broderbund want me to buy the same program under a different name. If you have Print Shop or Printmaster or any other Broderbund product, don't waste your money.

"Fantastic", CK Scrapbook Designer has nearly everything you need to create your scrapbook pages. (There are also some great new add-on CD's containing digital art images from another company, FanCraftic, everything from buttons to tags and more.)

The photo editing tools and special effects are a real plus. But I especially like the shadow effects, it makes my digital layouts have dimension. I have tried other products and no one has a shadow feature that's this easy to use or as effective. In fact, people seem to think I used expensive software well known in the design world to make my pages, but I use CK Scrapbook, instead!

I can also email my pages to family and friends! And it makes it easy to make extra copies for them as well...a time and money saver!

Plus, I can still scrapbook traditionally by printing out my own unique background papers or my journaling (on vellum, even!)

This package also includes greeting cards, calendars and more, plus special CK Fonts. It's a great all around value, and very easy to use. Now you have no excuse---get those keepsakes created!
