Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give you an update on the free photobook digikit. Unfortunately you'll have to be patient for a couple more weeks; we've hit an unexpected snag in the programming and want to make sure the digikit works perfectly before we release it.

Hope you're all still excited about it!

Thanks,
Jo

We're going to bring you new video tutorials as often as we can so check back to this section regularly for the latest one!

Here's a quick demonstration of how to create a pop out effect with Digital Scrapbook Artist:

I visited Crafts Beautiful, a popular craft magazine in the UK, and gave them a quick ten minute demonstration of Digital Scrapbook Artist. You can view the video here:

Sorry for the grumpy face at the start!

We really enjoyed meeting everyone at the CHA Show (The Craft & Hobby Association (CHA) show) in Anaheim, California. The CHA show is a trade show for all craft & hobby retailers and we gave loads of demos. We even won an award! Serif are now the proud owners of the 2009 Exhibiting with Excellence New Exhibitors award  Here's their website.

I've put some more photos on my profile, so have a look if you get a chance! 

Thanks,
