Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 {Giveaway}

I love messing around with digital scrapbooking, particularly with designing things for my blog. If I had any kind of decent, full-color printer, I'd certainly be a digital scrapbooking fiend by now since I really enjoy working on the computer with graphics.

Recently I was given a chance to try out some software called Digital Scrapbook Artist 2, by Serif.
I'm pretty skilled in Photoshop, and I found that this product was similar in terms of layout but much simpler to use. My Photoshop skills took quite a while to perfect (I'm self-taught), but Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 makes it so easy to get started immediately on your own projects.

Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 has a Start-up Wizard that walks you through the steps of creating a project, if you're a bit timid about stepping out on your own. You can do a lot of cool stuff digitally, like adding stencils,

stitching, or using a brush in this program.

I enjoyed using the decorative scissors with scalloped edges to accentuate my photos. So much less messy that actual cutting!
There are tons of features in this program and the creative possibilities are endless. Here's a sample that I did of my son, using one of the free templates that comes with the program.
The software also came with a $15 voucher for Daisy Trail digital scrapbooking site to get you started with some kits or embellishments. Of course one can buy digital scrapbooking kits on other sites too, and they're compatible with Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 as well.

I really like using this program and am looking forward to compiling some pages for a photo book I'd like to get printed of some highlights in my son's life. Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 will make it much easier to make and much more decorative than straight-up photos. I also think this would be a great way to design your own photo cards for party invitations and the holidays.
