NOT an upgrade!! Same old program! I bought Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook designer several years ago. The version I bought back then was titled 'Scrapbook Designer Deluxe'. It's been a great program, though sometimes slow and lately has been crashing an awful lot. So I thought I'd upgrade and buy the newest version. I checked online and saw that this 'new' verson was in completely new packaging and was called 'Scrapbook Designer Platinum version 3'. So, I assumed, as anyone would that this was a new version. I just got it in the mail and it is exactly the same bulky program...the only thing they have added, is a few more images and sounds (and the new images aren't even that cute). But the program itself is exactly the same. It has not been redesigned--just repackaged. I am very disappointed.
Skip this One I am an avid digital scrapbooker. I have used almost every software out there and not once have I felt so frustrated with a piece of software. The first problem is that for every page you make you have to insert either ART CD 1 or ART CD 2. This is a big hassle. Second, if the template you want to customize has clipart from both CD's then you are out of luck. It has you go back and forth putting in CD 1 then CD 2 then back to CD 1. Please save your money and puchase Scrapbook Factory, which in my opinion is the best scrapbooking software out there.
total waste of money! Don't ever buy this program. Its horrible, it makes you constantly switch between four CD's to get anything accomplished. The graphics are mostly bad cliparts and it has very few actual scrapbook embellishments. I too thought that the creative keepsakes brand name would mean good quality but I was completely misled. Shame on this company for letting them put their great name on this awful product.
Lots of Uses For Creating Keepsakes Scrapbook Designer I have been using Scrapbook Designer for several years and I use it more than any other software program I own. You can't beat Photoshop Elements for versitilty, but for ease of use and the great number of projects you can create, this is the program I use over and over again. While I agree that the art found on this program is too cute, I rarely use the clip art. I import just about everything into my projects from digital scrapbook files that I have purchased online. And it is so EASY to do. This software is essentially PrintMaster in a scrapbook package. You can easily create newsletters, brochures, cards, scrapbook pages, photo gifts & more. By saving projects I can open & reuse them, just by changing the text or photos.
BAD BAD BAD I would give this 0 stars if it was an option. I feel like I got ripped off. This is not the program to get if you want to do digital scrapbooking. All they have is cheesy clip art with very few scrapbooking embellishments. There are no brads or buttons or ribbons. They do have mats and frames but that's about it. I would not recomend this program to anyone. I'm very disapointed in it. I thought that if I purchased Creating Keepsakes that it would be perfect for digiatl scrapbooking because they make the "#1 scrapbooking magazine" so I thought they would have what scrapbookers wanted. Do not purchase this product.
