Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had several questions about this software which I was not able to find the answers to before purchasing it so let me outline for you what this software is and what it isn't. I'm sending it back because it doesn't meet my needs. Let me tell you what's great about this product. 1. It's easy to make scrapbook pages that look professional and it's fun too. You don't have to have any graphics skills. 2. The graphics are way cute and attractive; they are definitely Hallmark Quality. No cheese here. 3. The fonts alone are probably worth the price of the software. Unfortunately, if you're heavy into digital scrapbooking or want total control over your pages, this is not the program for you. 1. The software is completely self-contained. That means no importing of your own Backgrounds/Alphas/Clipart, etc. You must do all your pages with their supplied artwork. This also means no exporting. You cannot take one of Hallmark's backgrounds and export it then use it in another layout program. 2. 90% or more of the layouts are for 8 1/2 x 11. If you use 12x12 pages to make your pages forget about this program. There are only a very few layouts for you to use. 3. Scrapbook Studio holds your created finished pages hostage by not allowing you to export/save them to any format except its own proprietary file type. This means that you are forced to print from the PC they are created on. It sure would be nice to export as a jpg and send it to my nice color laser printer at work that prints 12x12. It would also be nice to e-mail my pages to a vendor who prints digital scrapbook pages on premium paper. This is just not possible. 4. This software does not accomodate a full bleed print. There will always be a white border around whatever you create and then print. Happy scrapbooking everyone, and I hope you find the software that fits your needs.
