• I actually hated PSE and ditched it after a couple of months.  I started with Scrapbook Max which is like $25.  It's VERY simple to use - there's almost no learning curve.  Of course, it's not as full-featured.  But if you just want to get it done and not do tons of fancy tricks to your pages, it's a great little program that works with any digital kits
  

  Now I use Digital Scrapbook Artist by Serif.  They have a free compact version that you can download from Daistytrail.com.  It's a great way to try before you buy.  I have the full version and love it.  Even though it has a ton of features, they are more like scrapbooking would be and not like PSE were you have to watch tutorials to figure out how to curl a corner or cut a wavy line.  You can do all that in DSA using the "curl" or "cut" tools.  It's so much easier for me to understand. 

  If you want to go super-simple and print photobooks, my PhotoBooks{etc} site has a free simple download that enables you to create your pages for printing in our photobooks.  It has some simple, but useful photo editing tools such as crop, red-eye fix, blur backgrounds, color change, etc. as well as drag and drop technology.  You can upload digital scrapbook products to use on your pages there and we also have like 3000 different backgrounds and embellishments.  I usually just use my own stuff, though.  We also just added some premade digital backgrounds, too.  You just plop your photos and journaling on the page and you're done.
