Gorgeous layouts!
If you do a lot of work in Pages, this one is worth it.
Too expensive!
The desgins are nice, and if you have the money to burn then maybe this might be for you.
They’re way too expensive for my tastes tho, and most of what you see can be constructed and designed yourself with a little extra work if you don’t mind taking the extra time to put into it.

OK but muddled
Contrary to what was said above there are quite a lot of Free templates under the “Purchaased” category plus a range of graphics.
The interface is muddled, you never quite know where anything is, some templates open as templates, others open as documents (then need to be resaved as templates) and a lot have the same name so replace each other! Took me a while to catch on what was happening thanks to the poor Pages 5 UI, where you can’t add templates in their own folder.
Not sure I’d ever use these as they are neither designed that well, nor implemented with full features. But that is par for the course with most Pages 5 material as well as the program itself.
I appreciate that the Free material is probably not the best of the selection, but the mistakes and poorly thought through UI and naming did not fill me with enough confidence to throw any money at this to check it out.

A free program with only Paid Options
Basically download this FREE program where your only option is to BUY EXPENSIVE elements and layouts for pages. Misleading, not worth the internet I wasted on downloading it.
Average designs at a high price
First, this app is really a store for templates. Second, the free ones are pretty ordinary. And finally, the paid ones are pretty bland and not worth the price.
Fantastic
I spent ages searching the web for nice templates for word or pages only to find the costed a lot of money or were rubbish. This app has some really high quality templates and I love how you can purchase them individually for around $1 Australian if you don’t want to pay for the enitre set/collection. Very flexible. I even grabbed a pack of clip art to enhance my template as well.
Very impressed.

Lost purchase
I paid the $70 for access to all the apps graphics and designs and since the update have lost them all. Although they served me well while they lasted I see no way to restore my purchase and the support link does not work.
Wonderful!
Absolutely love this toolbox.
It takes a huge amout of pressure off the creativity side, when you are putting out content on a regular basis.

Toolbox is an indispensable tool for anyone producing Newsletters. There are two parts to Toolbox. The first is using their Templates, the second using clipart and graphics.
Toolbox templates such as Newsletters, Cards, Adds and Flyers etc. are copied directly into Pages - My Templates folder. Like Pages templates they work flawlessly with Pages. They can be saved to a Word docx file and opened in Word, rather messy though.
The Jumpsoft Clip art is fantastic. When used with products like Pages, Word and Belight’s Swift Publisher, they copy seemlessly in a drag and drop method. Just click on the image in the Toolbox window and drag across the screen onto the other application page, resize the window and do a text wrap. Clips will open in Preview and can be saved to a folder on your hard drive for use in other applications. Once opend in Preview, go back to the Toolbox page and drag the object from the Toolbox window onto another application page as many times as you want.
For the ‘Elements for Pages’ and the ‘Graphic Styles’ on the Toolbox window there is a little learning curve. You must first buy the product then select ‘OPEN’ underneath the graphic in the Toolbox window. The ‘Elements for Pages’ and ‘Graphic Styles’ have multiple clip art items on a page. When OPEN is selected in Toolbox, a Pages, page, will open and all the clips will appear as items on a pages, page. A copy and paste procedure works fine to copy the clip to other word pages.

worth it
A useful application - i liked the option of buying individual packages when needed - versus spend $50 on the whole works then not needing 99% of it. Tools is worth grabbing
