Update

Hi all
Sorry I've not been around for a while, to be honest I have not even done any crafting! I'm much better and we had a fabulous holiday. Things are very busy at work, hence I don't get much time to play.
I hope everyone is well and still crafting, I will try and get round to visiting your wonderful blogs.

Having a break.....

Hi all
You may have noticed my lack of crafting lately!! To be honest I'm pooped and my mojo has packed it's bags and gone away! I have been to the doctors today and he has diagnosed a 'stress' related stomach problem (very painful and not fun!) so I am therefore taking a blogging holiday for a while. I only have a few weeks before we jet off to Florida and I want to be well for that!! Mickey is expecting me....and I can't let him down!
I wish you all well and plan to be back ASAP, I will still try and visit all your wonderful blogs!
{{{hugs}}}}

Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist.

Review: Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist

I have been using this software for a week or so now and I can highly recommend it. I have tried a couple of 'specialist' digital scrapping style softwares before and to be honest they have been typically digital, very basic and produce clumsy, outdated looking pages. This software is a real breath of fresh air, you can produce perfect pages, that to an untrained eye - would look identical to a traditional paper scrapped page.

The software itself is extremely well thought out and very easy to use, ideally for the beginner but challenging enough for the more experienced user. It comes complete with several pages packs and a bonus disc of even more themes (more are available), all very useful and cover a variety of occasions and they can be used as individual elements. There is also a daisytrail website, where you can share ideas) The best bit is: you can use ALL of your already downloaded digital items (just use them in the photo's tab). The software is a bargain at £29.99, but several craft mag's have a voucher for a further £5 off at the moment.

Tracy and Sally have already been affected by the bug, so beware it is infectious. Check them out because they have produced some great first LO's. You maybe wondering why my LO's are a strange size. Well that's because I have produced them to fit in my Digital Photo frame, that I got for Christmas, they look fab!

Have a great weekend. Any questions? please ask, if I can help I will!

My lovely hubby brought me a Digital Photo frame for Christmas,
so I thought I would produce a few Digi layouts for it.
I can't believe how easy it is with my new software!

Have a good weekend! Thanks for looking. x
