Craft Artist 2 Software Review -

When I first started digital scrapbooking, I started out by using Serif Craft Artist software (or at least the previous version that is), so this is what I have used from day one!  I tend to do easier type of layouts and projects...but I also love to play with all the bells and whistles, to see what I can come up with too!  I love the free kits I could download and use, without having to spend a bunch of money up front..., but I also like the kits you can purchase too!    
You can download a free version of software at Daisy Trail web site, along with more free kits you can use!  Sign up for a free account, that way you can get on and check out what others are doing!  This review is on the Craft Artist 2 Professional software - cost $39.99, but is worth it in my opinion with everything you get with it!   Create scrapbook pages, photo books,  cards, invitations, toppers for cup cakes,  gift bags, tags, certificates, flyers and more!  Plus with the free kits they come out with all of the time, you will always be able to create fun things!    
The paid version of software includes quite a few page kits included as it is, plus the free kits you can download - you can create without worry of spending more money on kits.  Add to that the kits you can purchase if you want to - (or those that you are attracted to or would use a lot anyway) - you can create a ton of different things using the same kit!  The software is easy to navigate through, when you first start up, you will have a startup wizard to help you get the right template up you will need depending on the project you want to make. 
As the template comes up you have chosen, you can then go in and add the kit or things you want to add to the project!  For me personally, I love the fact I can change an aspect - such as background papers, embellishments, fonts can be changed, and photos moved around!  You can't do that as easily when you use paper!   One of the best things I like about this software, the startup wizard allows you to open up previous projects you have saved...and even learn how to use the software by watching YouTube video's!  

Easy software to use - wonderful FREE kits you can download, templates you can use - or start with a blank!  A web site with a gallery you can go and check out - get inspiration from, along with a forum where you can chat with others!   From the free version of software, to the Professional version - this software is worth the price, whether you just create a few layouts a year, or a few layouts a day!
