So I received this for Christmas and finally got a chance to set it up today. Since I'm on a creativity kick for the new year, I thought it would be just the thing to finally help decipher digital scrapbooking. I haven't decoded all the bells and whistles yet but I have to say I quite like it. The kit came with Art Rage software that I've not installed yet, therefore I really haven't seen all it can do. But so far I was able to take notes in a specially designed notebook (by me!), and draw silly accents on a photo and play some game with squares and circles that I'm still not sure I understand but on which I was able to do particularly well.
After some trials and tribulations, I've even gotten the hang of the pen-y thing. I'm not sure I'll be able to use it as a mouse like some people do, but it works in a pinch (especially if you read the tutorial first...learned that the hard way). Now I'm all aflutter to get into all the really nifty artsy craftsy stuff. I must admit I'm not an artist but I'm sure I'll be able to draw some easy little embellishments and liven up some photos. The feature I'm most excited about is using handwriting. I've always wanted to create super awesome amazing crafty things like this to use in frames or scrapbooks but have never figured out how. Now that I have this tool, I'm thinking my scrapbooking fun may finally take off. That is once I get a printer to actually print my masterpieces...
