I jumped on the scrapbooking crazy train when my husband and I got married in 1997. I have a beautiful scrapbook documenting our Key West honeymoon. After I had my oldest daughter in 2002, though, I discovered the world of digital scrapbooking, which has all the features of paper scrapbooking, but is minus all the mess and boundless supplies to organize and store.
Serif’s new Digital Scrapbook Artist software would be a great present for someone who is interested in digital scrapbooking. Scrapbook Artist comes with DaisyTrail DigiKits, fun themed content packs, full of layouts, backgrounds, embellishments, materials, photo frames, and decorative letters. I found the software incredibly easy to use and was able to create a scrapbook page using the kits in less than 15 minutes. You can also design your own scrapbook items.
The software also has a companion web-based scrapbooking community at www.daisytrail.com where you can share the layouts you’ve created. Once you register (for free) at the site, you’ll also receive two free digikits. To get your started, however, Serif Digital Scrapbook comes with a DaisyTrail DigiKit DVD.
Other features of the Digital Scrapbook Artist software include:
- Choice of 8”x8”, letter-size or 12”x12” pages
- Photo paintbrushes
- Decorative edge scissor cut out tool
- Filter effects for every object
- One-click sharing to post designs for others to see
- 10 free themed digikits
Digital Scrapbook Artist retails for $39.99 and would make a great present for someone interested in learning more about digital scrapbooking. Savvy Housewife readers get $5 off their purchase of Digital Scrapbook Artist from Serif using the code DSAUSPR05 at checkout.
I tried to use the promo code for the Serif Digital Scrapbooking Artist and they wouldn’t accept it. How long was the offer good for?
Definitely a piece of software to check out. Thanks!
