Well, dear readers, it's an exciting day here. That's because I am having my first giveaway!
As many of you know, I scrapbook. Or at least I used to. I will get back to it. However, since my move, all of my scrapbooking supplies are still packed in boxes, with no time frame in sight of when it will be unpacked. So if I have an itch to be creative... to make a scrapbook page or a greeting card...what can I do? My glue, paper cutter, and scissors are all packed away! Enter... digital scrapbooking!
Now I had not tried digital scrapbooking in the past just because I always said I liked to play with paper and glue. Feel the products in my hands. However, I find myself in this unique situation of being unable to use my tactile supplies... so trying out digital scrapbooking makes a lot of sense.
I recently was given the chance to try out the My Memories Suite software. Now this is more than just a scrapbooking program. You can make scrapbook pages or an album, sure, but you can also make greeting cards, calendars, videos, invitations, and much more! You are only limited by your imagination! They include lots of templates in the software, plus if you don't see something that strikes your fancy, there are tons of templates, kits, and accessories on their
site.
Now you have the opportunity to receive this fabulous
scrapbook software for free (worth $40)! Plus a $20 savings for everyone!
I made three projects using the program this afternoon. It was very easy to do. I used an album template for my first project. These are several scrapbook pages already designed, and all you have to do is drop your pictures onto the pages. If you don't even want to do that, the program will add your pictures for you! I also wanted to demonstrate how you can use the album templates for a theme other than the one originally suggested. For instance the album I chose was originally designed for girl pages; I adapted it for my doggie!
Then I made a heritage page, cause that's what I do. This page I built from "scratch," using background paper and embellishments included in the software. It's a simple page, but effective.
Also, because I hate paying $3.00 for a greeting card, I made one myself! Here's the original layout from the software:
And here it is cropped into pieces so you won't have to stand on your head to read the verse:
