Pros: creating your own & saying whatever you want in the card
Cons: the upgraded version is too difficult to navigate

I've always been sort of a creative person,so when my daughter gave me this CreataCard program shortly after I became "computer addicted" I found myself making card after card for everyone I know for whatever occasion came up, Then we gave her an engagement party & I volunteered to print up the invitations..What fun I had & what a challenge, since I had to make over 60 cards & I wanted them to be just right for the occasion,without looking homemade.I think I succeeded.
At that time I hadn't discovered yet how to import photographs into the cards so it really wasn't that difficult. All I had to do was use the program the way it basically tells you step by step.
Now, I've discovered how to use photos from files I have in my computer,either from scanning them or from using the Wolf or Kodak photonet,then downloading them into files ,I have a virtual gallery of my own pictures to use.
I started by using the option "Import a Photo".This is also fairly simple, just follow the directions & this program has good ones. Now I have figured out how to use the art workshop program & I can import them onto any & all cards available on the disk.Not only the "add a photo". It's great!To be able to make a card so personalized that you can put a photo of the person you are sending it to..Or a place you have been. Or your pet,whatever you want to include.
I just love it...I made all my own holiday cards this year, I did a millenium card..I put pictures of my husband & I on different vacations & even added a photo of my new grandbaby...
Then ,I decided I needed more options so I upgraded & bought another program offered to me by American greetings...the Gold Plus 4...This one I'm not to crazy about, it's a lot harder to navigate & because there are more CD's involved, you have to change the CD's to often to see what's available .I like the other much better even though the new one has thousands of options and art work you can use.I think I may need to work with it a bit more,& eventually I will learn how to use it, but the other is so simple. It's a shame they just didn't leave the old format alone & just added the new art work..I won't let that stop me though . I love creating my own cards & don't think I will ever go back to a greeting card store again.
