Serif to Introduce New Users to the Fun and Creativity of Digital Scrapbooking

Free Digital Scrapbooking Software and Worldwide Scrapping Contest Launched Today

Serif (Europe) Ltd, the UK’s leading independent design, publishing and creative software developer, today announced the release of a free version of its popular digital scrapbooking software. 

Digital Scrapbook Artist Compact, which is not a trial or time-limited in anyway, offers all the features expected of a fully functional digital scrapbooking product, including a fun selection of tools and creative content (such as embellishments, background papers and brushes) to get everyone started straight away. It is available to download at DaisyTrail.com, and will give people the perfect opportunity to make beautiful keepsakes from the stacks of photographs they all have at home. 

“Digital Scrapbook Artist Compact will make it possible for anyone to enjoy a fantastic and fun way of preserving photos and memories”, said Ashley Hewson, Sales Director at Serif. “And what’s more, the results you can achieve with this software far outshine those of our competitors, while still remaining an incredibly easy to use program and despite the fact that it’s completely free.” 

Serif has already enjoyed considerable success with the standard version of its software, and its online scrapping community DaisyTrail.com which were both launched in October 2008. DaisyTrail.com is already listed in the top 50 scrapbooking websites worldwide. 

To coincide with the launch of the free version, Serif is running a contest, Serif Super Scrapper ‘09, in association with Scrapbook Trends and Scrapbook Magazine. The competition will be open to adults and children of all ages and scrapbooking capabilities. A total of 10 winners will be chosen and awarded a variety of prize packs that will include digital cameras, Serif GraphicsPad Tablets and other digital scrapbooking essentials.
