Summary: THIS PRODUCT IS THE WORST!
Review: This product is not worth the money I spent on it. It allows you very little access to creativity. Basically you print what's there the only nice feature of this entire program is the event minder to remind you of upcoming events. That's about it.

Summary: THIS PRODUCT IS THE WORST!
Review: This product is the worst. Changing text is a NIGHTMARE! How could Hallmark let their good name be associated with such a badly designed program. It is only Ok if you want a card exactly as formatted. We previously had an older American Greetings program that was great. My 9 year old could write birthday cards; thank you notes; etc. with no help from me. We changed or designed every card, it was easy. Now we have a new computer with XP and no adequate software options.

Summary: Not good!
Review: This product sounds great when you hear what it is! But, if you have any computer smarts, you could do this on your own! If you have access to Power Point, you don't need this program! You can create your own! There is a VERY limited selection of cards and when creating labels, there are only a few choices for the different Avery label sizes. The ONLY good thing is the program already has the card and label sizes formatted for you! If I knew what this program was to begin with, I would have NEVER purchased it!

Summary: Can't find anything
Review: This program offers no options for creating shaped fonts as in the older program "Greetings Workshop", which is a very good program. On it you can add many shadows and shapes to your fonts and make a very professional looking project. However, this new program has no options to do that. It has limited color choices and no "search" option to find specific pictures, as the old program did. I will buy the older program and see if I can use it on my ME system. It's made for 95 and 98. I wish I could find a new program that has the options of my older program. I AM RETURNING THIS PROGRAM.

Summary: Makes Great Cards
Review: This software is easy to use and makes great cards. With the average card being 2 to 3 dollars a piece, this package will pay for itself in only about 15 cards. I have not tried to make my our card from scratch, but there are so may premade ones in every category and type that I have not had the need to do so yet. I previously had version 2.0 and upgraded to version 3.0, but there was not much difference. The only difference is the the photo editior which comes with it. The photo editor, Instant PhotoExpert is ok, but you can not print different photos on the same page when using the reprint templates. The only thing about the Hallmark software that gets annoying is if you use standard 8.5 by 11 card stock to print a two sided card, the front picture does not automatically resize for the size paper and you end up with white space at the top and bottom of the card that goes beyond the regular unprintable area when you print it out. Overall, this product is worth the price.
