Solid enough but...
the 1 knightNovember 18, 2013
Pros
Stable, useful in parts
Cons
A money making machine if you wan to progress.
Summary
Serif is nothing more than a money making machine, period. They do little to help the consumer. For instance, I downloaded this cut down version of Craft Artist in order to give me a feel of it before deciding to buy their previous version at a knock down price. However when I contacted them asking them to make the product a download rather than pay the postage, they point blank refused.
Works beautifully and intuitively.

Pros
Easy to use, lots of features and effects. enough free kits available to make a beginners experience fun and exciting. Free version is more than sufficient for beginners and the Pro version is even better.
Cons
Can't think of any
Summary
I played with the free version for over a year before I broke down and paid for the Pro version. I really like this software and reccomend it often.
Professional Quality!

Pros
Top quality design software that includes all the features that scrapbook makers and card makers require. That's what I would say about this great program. It's professional, it works, it does what it says, and it does it well. You even get some professionally designed embellishments and papers to work with. You can then choose from an amazing range of digikits at the Daisytrail site - including some excellent free kits - and be confident that they will all work perfectly with your software and you will be able to make perfect scrapbooks and cards as often as you want.
Cons
Haven't found any!
Summary
Go for it! Professional software, easy to use, ideal for experienced users - who will appreciate the professional interface - or novices, as it's a great way to learn how to use and manipulate graphics and photographs. I've made hundreds of scrapbooks, I started with the Compact Version, and I recommend it to all my friends.
A 'Quality' Freebie from Serif!
WernddofnNovember 15, 2011
Pros
For a free download of crafting software, CraftArtist Compact is just brilliant...very user friendly which is what you would expect from Serif and it has lots of great features to help you create some fabulous work....even without all the 'bells & whistles' that the upgrade versions of CraftArtist has this free programme certainly 'delivers' on many levels. For someone wanting to 'dip their fingers' into the world of cardmaking and scrapbooking I don't think you can beat CraftArtist....with this FREE download and all the FREE digikits that you can download from Daisytrail.com as well what more could you want...?
Cons
The only limitation would be your imagination!!!!
Summary
A superb Freebie from Serif...a great way to get started with papercrafting and the wonderful world of digital arts & crafts!
A neat little program!
