I've been meaning to look into scrapbooking for some time, as an extension of my card making. Like most people I have boxes of photographs that never get seen, and it's got worse since digital cameras became more common, because now I have even more images stored up on my hard drive! But where to begin? And did I want a physical or digital scrapbook?
Then I heard about the My Memories Suite, which is digital scrapbooking software that is rated #1 by Amazon and which has a value of $40... It's great for utilising those digital images in scrapbooks and photobooks, but you can also use it for cards and calenders and when you have created your albums, you can just print them out - it is really easy to use!
The first thing I tried was to create a page using elements from some of the free kits I downloaded, and some photos from my hard drive. As it was Remembrance Day, I chose to make that the topic of my page.
I've never made one before and was really impressed. It just shows how easy the software is to use.

When the challenge is closed, on Sunday 27th November, I will randomly choose one of the comments left here to be the lucky recipient of the free software. I will then contact the winner and let them know what code to use to get it.
As an additional bonus, if you submit an entry to the Crafty Cardmaker's challenge, you may also win a £10 voucher from the lovely Joanna Sheen (who is the sponsor) too!
And if you don't win a copy of the software, you can still grab a bargain by using my code STMMMS59047 which, as a special offer, will provide you with a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store - $20 value in total!)
Just enter the Code STMMMS59047 on the shopping cart page here at My memories.com
I downloaded the software straight to my computer with no problems at all from here in the UK, so it isn't a problem that the company is based in the US.

Any set? There's so many lovely ones but I'm taken with Ancestors Legacy :)
ReplyDeleteby the way, your Remembrance page is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Christmas Party Pages - and the new snowballs one. I am seriously tempted because, as you say in your journal, it would be a good way to make photobooks for family and friends.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't win a free one I might even splash out...
Ohhh this looks so easy to use and such fun. Perfect for a busy person to be able to create something gorgeous like your Remembrance page above.
ReplyDeleteHave to say though my favourite has got to be One Miracle Night! I love those white scrolly bits against the dark background of the night sky. Lush!

PS May have to put the software on my ever increasing crafty needs wishlist!
