Summary: Not for PSE scrapbookers
Comment: I just got this as Christmas gift and am very disappointed because I was hoping I could use it with my PSE. Here are my main issues:
1) it allows you to email your final work but it converts the project into an .avi file (movie file) with very poor quality. On top of that it includes advertisement of the software in your project. I was very disappointed because I spent a couple of hours making digital birthday party invitation and when I emailed to myself the result looked like a poor/cheap invitation with advertiments.
2) all cliparts can only be used with their proprietary software. You cannot export them to other programs such as PSE or convert them into other formats like jpeg or bmp.

Summary: Good as a starter kit
Comment: The kit is basically easy to use and you can get started without having to read too many instructions. It takes up a lot of memory. I've used it for a couple of projects and they've come out fairly professionaly done. The e-mail postcards are next to worthless and are basically free advertisements for Hallmark which turned me off to the whole set. If I pay for it, I don't want to become a walking billboard from some corporation.
I'd recommend it to beginners. bg

Summary: Makes pages, not books
Comment: The graphics are high quality; however, this software only allows you to make one page files. If you are looking for software that will make books, this is not it.

Summary: hours of fun and creativity
Comment: For scrap booking, this is just what I needed. I've put together some beautiful album photo pages. You may want to print them all as I do for albums as they take a lot of memory to save on your computer.

Comment: This was a gift to one of our family. She just love how easy it is to use. She has been using it to make a photo record of the growth of our Grandchild over the past years.
