Summary: Awesome Program!!!
Comment: I'm in shock at the other reviews. This program saved me HOURS and HOURS of design time. What I do is search, online, for digital scrapbooking downloads and you will find digital website that give you FREE downloadable backgrounds, fibers, brads, eyelets, tags, everything you can think of and ADD them to the gallery folder in the software. The only reason I use it is to plan my entire layout before I actually create it. One thing you want to do is plan an entire layut before glueing anything down. This allows you to do that. It only takes minutes to create a layout instead of several hours.

Another thing I do is scan every scrapbook paper I buy. If you do a little at a time it's not overwhelming. This way you can really create your layout. You can also scan any stickers u buy and add them to the gallery folder. To find the folder go to c: drive, Program Files, Ideasoft, Graphics, and add any folders there.

If comes with REAL graphics, not stupid clip art that other's use. It comes with sooooooooo many alphabet patterns.

Summary: Pretty Good Program
Comment: My wife and I have been traditional scrappers for several years. I picked this up and tried it. Since it is the only program I have tried, I don't have much to compare it to.

In the first couple days I have produced four pages and I am very pleased with the results. However, there seems to be a lot of limitations and extra steps. Many things I can only do because I have worked in Word Publisher and other such programs. If someone does not have some experience, they will not figure out many things for a long time.

Doing text is weird. If you don't do it in certain steps, the changes don't take. Once a background is added, it can only be changed, not removed (at least I haven't figured out how yet). I didn't find ways to cut photos and borders like all the fancy scissors do in "real life". Matching things like ovals and circles is quite challenging.

Like I said, I have never used any other, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I am VERY impressed with the results--I love the pages that I did and they were relatively easy. The limitations I mentioned may be true with every program out there. With a coupon, I got the program for less than $4, so it was worth it :-)

NEW NOTICE on February 7, 2008:
I just bought a laptop with Windows VISTA Home Premium. The program works TERRIBLE. I can't even use it because it is so slow. Customer support has no solutions.

HOWEVER, in Windows XP I have done over 50 pages and absolutely love the results. Heather from WI is correct--you can import your own backgrounds, stickers, clipart, etc. The things that they provide are pretty good as well; you can even change their colors, etc. Pretty impressive.

My initial impressions remain and the program can be a little user-UNfriendly. The biggest problem is that it is slow, although workable (I have 2.5 gig of RAM, so it is not a computer problem). It also won't export an image in the highest resolution for some reason. As long as one understands that it won't work in VISTA, it is a pretty good program. I would up it to 3 1/2 or 4 stars in Windows XP.

Summary: Not a bad product at all
Comment: I thought this product was easy to use and produced decent results. It works better than some of the more expensive software; I have tried at least a half-dozen similar programs, but I keep returning to this bargain-bin favorite. For the money, it is an excellent value.

Summary: The New Age of Scrap Booking
Comment: I can't believe this application. I bought it last year and I have 200 pages completed. I can truthfully say that I will never scrapbook the traditional way from this moment on. So fast and easy! I will be all up to date with my scrap booking for X-MAS '05. I am overjoyed. I don't believe I know anyone who scrapbooks traditionally anymore! Thanks for simplifying my life
