Customer Reviews

Excellent idea!
Digital Scrapbook Artist is a great idea! It combines two hobbies or `interests' - that of scrap-booking and computer `design' - be it a formal piece of software or just using a photo editor. The results are excellent. This can be used for all sorts of things - designing birthday cards, flyers, posters, invitations etc. as well as making a scrap-book. It's easy to use, good fun and for those who are `computerate' an easy link between an ancient hobby and modern technology. However, just one word of warning before you rush out and buy this as a present. Some people like the manual approach of making a scrapbook and may not enjoy the software alternative. I remember mind-mapping software trying to make a manual skill into an IT project, not always successfully, so be careful. Make sure this is something the recipient will actually want to do.

Not only for scrapbooking
I am not a scrapbooker but was drawn to this system as I thought it would be useful for card making. Its easy to install and quite simple to use. Not saying it will not take time, but if you are already confident with the computer, you should pick it fast. Think that even the novice could learn as the pack comes with good user guides. I really enjoyed the Daisytrail digikit as this had some really great items. You can add things to the page such as buttons and bows or tear the page, to create a page that you have made. You can also change page sizes to what your printer is set to print, which is great. I think even as a card maker you could use elements from the collection and all in all good value for money!

nice kit for being creative
This program is great for those who find it hard to be creative, or have the neccesary tools or software to create anything fun or exciting.
It may look like it suited for 12 year old girls because all the packaging is pink and it has flowers everywhere, but I can tell you its not.

You can pretty much design any sort of layout you want in this, with its many pre set options. It also allows you to create your own art work so you can use them within theirs.

It is more suited for younger people, but as I say, for those who would like to do this sort of work, but dont haev the know how or skills to, get this as it will enable you to do more than you normally could
