....and on....(a giveaway)

Hello my dear friends, I hope you had a good weekend.

I am always humbled by your beautiful words and friendship. Please know how appreciative I am of your daily visits, and as much as I try to say it with words, there are times when I wish I could show you with actions. That is why when the nice people from My Memories Suite contacted me for a review and giveaway, I was truly excited to be able to share it with you. 

I do have to admit that I was a little hesitant as I am not all that savvy when it comes to digital scrapbooking and even though I had heard of My memories suite, I had not previously tried their software.  I politely informed them that I would only do a giveaway if I truly felt the software was a great product. Their response was that they expected nothing but my honest review, and so here it is.....

This is the first layout I worked on.

After the initial download, which took approximately 10 -12 minutes, it took me less than 15 minutes to learn how to navigate through their program.  

The program has step by step instructions and it's fairly easy to understand.  I created this template on my own, but they have numerous pre-designed templates available.

Such as this one.  All I had to do was change the colours to my liking, move and add some of the snowflakes and load the picture.  In total, this layout took less than 5 minutes.  The pictures I am showing you are individual jpeg format, but you can create albums with music, books, CD's etc. 

A quick collage from my previous post. I love those little wooden pegs.

 I decided to keep my layouts simple and without many embellishments

 but there are many to choose from.

And while I was at it , I made these prints just for you.  I think people have the notion that you can only create albums with digital scrapbooking, but as you can see, you can also create prints, invitations, thank you cards etc.  You just need to think outside of the box.

Right click on the picture,

save it onto your desktop and print.

All of the embellishments and fonts that you see are from My Memories Suite version 2 package. There are many others to choose from, both that can be downloaded for free or purchased. 

I can honestly say that I was very pleased with the program and it became addictive very quickly.  I created several other albums, which I will be downloading onto a CD, which means I just created extra space on my hard drive for more pictures :)

Here is a sample of some other albums I found on their website...

On to the good part....

I am excited to be able to provide you with an opportunity to win your own  My Memories Suite software.
