Summary: Colossal Disappointment
Review: I'm a huge scrapbooker, and - much to my husband's dismay - I seem to buy anything and everything that contains the word "Scrapbook." But, I've got to tell you, Creating Keepsakes really let me down.Turns out that most of the truly good templates depicted on the box reside in something called the "Idea Vault." That is not a happy place because it amounts to a series of PDF thumbnails that are completely uneditable and completely unusable in the software. And the templates that are available are pretty crummy. I'm sorry, but it's just not fair to include designs on the box - much less boast of the idea vault as a "feature" (gimme a break) - when they're just not available to people who buy the software. I can't recommend Creating Keepsakes. But I do own Scrapbook Factory Deluxe 2.0 (of course ... it has the word "Scrapbook" in it :-) and that I can heartily endorse.

Summary: Don't buy this if you already own Printmaster.
Review: Printmaster Ver. 15, which I use often, offers the same graphics and options that this software does, plus much more. I expected original art and template ideas and was very disappointed. The page layout templates are quite unimaginative and would be easy to create from most very basic, and less expensive, photo editing programs.

Summary: don't try and ask broderbund for any help
Review: When I purchased this software I was very excited to get it installed onto my computer.
I am not a computer wiz, my computer seemed to meet the system requirements but I couldnt get the program completely
installed to the computer. I kept getting a message saying it was still installing, even after 8 hours.
Finally I emailed broderbund for some assistance, that ws almost 2 days ago. Their website advises that emails are responded to with in 8-10 hours if you contact them over the weekend or on a monday.
I still haven't heard from them.
After reading the previous reviews I have decided to return the program.
Maybe it was better that I didnt get the program installed on the computer, I might have been even further disappointed.
