My Memories Suite + a GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone!! :)

Now I'm sure you've all been seeing all the posts lately for My Memories Suite and giveaways and digital scrapbooking layouts made with My Memories Suite. Well I am here to tell you there's a reason for that... Its AWESOME!

I have been playing around with My Memories Suite and I am LOVIN' it! I love it so much that I have 2 copies of it.. one on my Mac and one on one of the PCs. I normally don't do digital.. but in the past I have done a few pages using Photoshop. Since I'm a photographer Im familiar with photoshop and its cake for me to use. I thought that it would be impossible for this program to be any easier to use for me.. but it is!! It really is.

There are a few things.. to bring up here, not only is it easy to use it's also fun! And lets not forget the fact that clean up is non-exsistant!! Thats a HUGE plus! It's fast, produces amazing projects with just a few clicks.. and you don't have to look around and hope you have that pic you're looking for printed.. or printed at a special size.. with My Memories Suite it's all just a click away!

The possibilities are endless with this. This program is NOT just for scrapbooking.. it can do so much more. Now, I've only been playing with it for 2 days now but I know that it can make movies, use music, make cards etc etc.

There are tons of kits online at Mymemories.com, whatever you're looking for.. it's there!

One of the big questions I had about this program was.. "Am I limited to just the kits on Mymemories.com?" the answer is no. If you find something somewhere else you can still use it in My Memories Suite.. it just doesn't upload into the program the same way. You can even make your own kits/papers/embellishments to use. Thats what makes this program so much fun! Mymemories.com also has free kits and all kits are very reasonably priced :)

The pics are some of the pages I've made over the last 2 days using My Memories Suite.. the time to make each page ranged between 30mins - 3hrs (mainly because I have a hard time picking out pics and deciding which of the many papers/embellishments I wanted to use).

Now on to what you're really here for... GIVEAWAY!

I was given a copy of My Memories Suite to giveaway to one of my followers. The winner will receive a coupon code to get My Memories Suite (the download version) a $39.97 value and $10 to use in their store for kits.. thats a $49.97 value!!

blooming Beauty layout

My very first layout for/of Harmony. These are her first 2 ultrasounds. I made this for the DCWV October Scrap-a-holic challenge. I used the Blossoms & Butterflies stack and the white cardstock is from the Citrus cardstock stack. I used pooh font for the title.

Im also entering this into the Scrap It With a Song - Heaven challenge... My subject matter... Harmony is like Heaven to me.. matter of fact we had a real hard time picking out her name and it got down to Harmony or Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards) obviously we picked Harmony but it was REAL close!

Hope you like it.. again.. stay tuned for a pretty cool giveaway that I will post by tomorrow!!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

Do Not Enter wall decor

I made this little sign using Mini Monsters cart.

I used some chipboard from a flier that came in the mail and its cut at 5.5x6 and then i covered it with the green circle paper cut at the same size. I cut the spider & web image at 4 inches and the "DO NOT ENTER" at 3 1/4 in both black and orange. I inked the spider with black and put some google eyes on him. I hi-lited the web with a white gelly roll pen. Using my big bite 2 I punched holes along the bottom and right side as well as a whole on each of the sides on the top for the ribbon to hang. I threaded black ribbon thru the bottom holes and orange ribbon thru the side holes.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - #81

paper cutz challenge - #113
