Giveaway & Review: Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 (Software) [CLOSED]
I am a graphically inclined person for the most part and always have had an interest in scrapbooking. The problem is that I never had the time to dabble in scrapbooking (digital or otherwise). When I had the chance to try the software Digital Scrapbook Artist 2, I was extremely excited. This was the perfect excuse for me to try my hand at digital scrapbooking.
Since I am a novice at digital scrapbooking and do not have experience with the original Digital Scrapbook Artist software, I am writing this review from a novice's point-of-view. Please take two minutes to watch this overview of Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 . . .
This software was much more powerful than I expected. I am able to use other graphics programs (although mostly self-taught), but it took me awhile to explore this one. There were some things that were intuitive and easy to achieve, such as selecting a theme and a layout, dragging and dropping elements and photos onto your page, resizing, using the special effects, and selecting brushes.
Below you will find a ready-made scrapbook layout and what it looked like after I modified it . . .

Below is a page I created with elements from the same theme, but I started off with a blank page . . .
The functions I listed above only scratch the surface of this software's capabilities. Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 also offers:
Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 is available for purchase right on the Serif website. You can order the boxed software or download the program for $49.99. Serif even offers download protection for an additional $6.99 to eliminate the risks of not having a physical copy. You can also purchase this software on DaisyTrail.com and Amazon.com .
Thank you to Serif for sending us a sample copy of this software free of charge to base this review upon and for providing an additional copy for our contest prize.
What you can win: One lucky reader will receivea boxed copy of the Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 software, which retails for $49.99 .
