I love this program. It was easy to use straight out of the box, and unlike other programs I have purchased (the print shop, and printmaster) the clipart is on the cd and can be put on your computer, so your computer is not constantly dialing up to get clipart from the web. This is great for those of us who still have dial-up and can't wait 5-10 minutes for all the clipart to decide to download.

The downfall I see (I really miss American Greetings CreateACard and still have it loaded) is that you can't select multiple clipart items at a time. You have to pick one then re-open the library, and if you found the last piece by using the search, you have to reenter your search and pick the next one you wanted. It would be so much easier if you could hold the control key down and pick as many as you want in one shot.

Overall, I think it is great.

Buyer beware....if you have other Nova products such as Scrapbook Factory or an earlier version of this product, you cannot load it without taking out the other products. Tech support advised me that I needed to take out Scrapbook Factory. They didn't know if I would be able to re-load it????? Also, on the support website be wary if you go into msconfig to disable software if you are having a problem loading this program. This program has really created issues on my computer and I can't even use it, unless I want to remove Scrapbook Factory. As far as product review, I own the product but unfortunately can't use it!!

After using Deluxe Version3 for some time, we upgraded to 6.0. There is a lot more stuff to enable you to produce very professional-looking cards. The reason for not giving top marks, is that the program still crashes occasionally when doing sizing of imported images.

Great program! You can export anything you work on as an image file so you can actually do scrapbooking with this product! Cards & verses are excellent.

Since I am a new user with this software, I don't know if it's me or the program that is lacking something. Program states you can customize the size of paper you are using but I can't seem to get that to work. Also, what looks to be centered on screen does not print out that way.
My old American Greetings program is so user friendly and this program is more like using a Photoshop program (too many bells and whistles) for a greeting card program. The only reason I purchased it was because of the custom paper sizing option.

This product has as in the past editions show to be an excellent product. I am very pleased to have it. I love to be creative.

Although this program does a nice job on cards forget it when printing envelopes. It won't print #10 at all and it won't preview or print some of the other sizes. So what good is a nice card if you can't get an envelope for it to go in.
