Useful Tool for Creating Scrapbook Pages
This program is easy to use, and helped me create a custom scrapbook page with little effort. One caveat: Once you select a size template, be certain to check the result with "print preview" before you expend any effort. I had trouble getting the first page I created to print in 12 x 12 size on a 12 x 12 sheet of paper. However, I called tech support. The first rep didn't help much, but then I got a follow-up call from Derek, who had gone to the trouble of downloading my Canon S9000 printer's driver! Together, we got the print function going and produced a perfect page. It's really refreshing to find a software outfit that really cares about the results its customers are getting! It is too bad that the templates supplied with this program are so cutesy and schmaltzy, and that more background "paper" isn't supplied. But if you start with a blank template, hey, it's a clean slate and you can let your imagination run wild. It'll let you drop in your pictures and graphics wherever, and help with the lettering for titles and journaling.

Frustrating for several reasons
I've been trying to find a good program to scrapbook with so that I can still print out pages and not just have them on the computer. This one doesn't print well at all. I've tried printing one of thier premade pages, pages I've created from scratch with and with out pics put in and everything comes out pixilized. I haven't had any text come out with clear edges and anytime you change the size of any graphic it will pixilize the edges. I do have a good printer and can print perfect pictures so long as I don't use this program. Another thing I found extremely frustrating was not being able to search for a type of graphic. If you want a heart or scissors or flowers you have to search through everything to find them. This program would be ok if you don't want to print the pages out but if you do . . . look for something else.

Missing Graphic - no help from Product Support
I love this program and would have given 5 stars BUT based on my experience product support is non-existent UNLESS you are willing to sit on the phone long distance waiting for help. Email support is simply not there - requests for help are unanswered. I have tried for a month with no response from Nova Development (makers of this program.) This program is missing "Decorative H" from the alphabet graphics and I have found no help from Product Support. Other than this... the program is great fun and I love it!
