Serif Digital Scrapbook artist 2 ~ Review & Giveaway



I've never sat and taken the time to do scrapbooking, although I think it's amazing what some people do. However, I still want to be able to put my favorite pictures in a format that I could put in an album, where they would still be interesting to look at. I was so excited when I found Serif and their Digital Scrapbook Artist 2!

As soon as I received the product for review, I started dreaming up ideas of what I could do with it. Well, once I really started delving into the program, I realized I could do much more than I had even dreamed of!

Not only can you use the layouts, backgrounds and embellishments that they give you, but there are also craft tools like scissors and stencils to really make it your own. They also have photo editing software that allows you to do some seriously cool effects on your photos. The program is super easy to use and there is just so much to it! I have had so much fun creating the things I have so far and I know this is going to be one of my absolute favorite craft tools for a long time to come!

Here are a few of the projects I have done with it so far...

This is a page with the names of all of the people in our family who have birthdays at the end of March and the beginning of April, that we celebrated on our family's annual Easter camping trip. I just made it and hung it up on the sliding glass door of the trailer as a cute little reminder of everyone's birthdays.


This is a page I made representing how fast time goes. I just celebrated my 32nd birthday and it seems so strange to me that I could be that old already.


Brian's grandma turned 94 on Wednesday! What a blessing she is to our family!


This is just a cute one of Riley and Asher being their silly selves. They decided it would be fun to lay on the kitchen counter one day.



You can see from this small sampling of pages that I did that there are tons of possibilities!

Not only can you make scrapbook pages, but you can also make cards and other things too. You can also upload your finished products to their daisytrail website so you can share them with others!

I am absolutely thrilled with this product and having so much fun with it and I know you would too.

Wow! I'd love to try their WebPlus Essentials! I only recently started blogging, and it really hadn't occurred to me yet that this might be something to look into. Thanks for the prompt, and for the opportunity to win the Scrapbook software!
