MyMemoriesSuite Giveaway!!!

I have been playing with a digital scrapbooking software by MyMemories.com
I was asked if I could review this digital software and share with my friends.
This is my personal review 
1-painless to install -took a few minutes to download
2-choice of creating your own or using pre-made templates
-(When you first open program, you have a choice of using pre-made designer templates or create your own)
-Choice of square 12x12 or 8x8, etc.; landscape 11x8 1/2 or smaller; Portrait 8 ½ x 11 or smaller

Even if you decide to create your own, you have tons of available photo layouts.
-When you download designer templates you have the choice of Mac PC or other ("other" allows you to use with other programs such as Photoshop, etc.)

3-On the side bar (left) you get lots of free templates and some links to purchase your own if you prefer.
Note: on designer templates, anything you see such as embellishment, etc., you can move, duplicate or delete, not on the quick pages (these are pre-made for you to just drop your photos if you prefer).

4-There are many paper packs and embellishment sets for you to play with.

5-They have many videos on Vimeo and YouTube and on their blogLove the ones on their blog, they even offer you the PDF format so you can follow along if you prefer. Click HERE for a list of videos on their blog.
6-Love all the ways I can share my album once created
... is that neat or what?  Costco prints 12"x12" prints. You can save as JPEG to share on your blog like I just did or turn your scrapbook into a movie to watch on a DVD-or view on an iPod. My Memories Suite allows you to share an interactive album on a disc (DVD or CD) that will automatically play on a computer (PC or Mac). Viewers can interact with your scrapbook by clicking on video, playing narration or navigating through your scrapbook like a website. You can even place in web links for them to visit or embed hidden files like Grandma's secret cookie recipe. With My Memories Suite you can even create and share professionally printed and bound calendars, make posters or trading cards for your son's soccer team, post a movie of your scrapbook on your Facebook page-all with the click of a button.

My Memories Suite is the #1 rated scrapbook software. Not only is it affordable and fun, it’s also extremely easy. Whether you’re new to digital scrapbooking or a seasoned pro, My Memories Suite is the perfect digital scrapbooking software to use. (ad)

and guess what was super exciting to me?! it is not only for scrapbook pages, you can create your own Blog Header! here is the video on that!  

I was able to quickly create this picture file
I just wanted to add to my picture the LUFP badge/button as a layer, tried it and voila! super fast.
Tomorrow I will be posting a layout I created with MyMemoriesSuite and 4MyBabiesScraps Digital collection, yeap, I was able to use a third party's digital collection.




I am super excited to be able to give one MyMemoriesSuite software to on lucky visitor --  just visit MyMemories come back and leave a comment with your favorite digital paper collection or layout -- the winner will receive a unique download code.  I will personally email it to you, so make sure 
1-you visit MyMemories and chose a layout or pack 
2-come back and leave me a comment with the info and make sure you add your email or blog address so I can notify you by Sept 30th.


But if you must have it now just use code STMMMS33892  and guess what? you will receive $10.00 off the regular price. That is right! just enter STMMMS33892 (best if you copy and paste) and you will only pay $29.97 and in addition you will receive $10.00 to shop MyMemories.com store! that is a $20 dollar value free.


Tomorrow I will post a layout using this software   hope you come back and visit!

4 My Babies Day 2

Welcome to Gaby Creates and to
the Scrapbooking Queen's Court Week
of 4MyBabies showcase Day 2

For today's post I created this cute little shoe...

..using a Silhouette file and the Polka Dot paper in addition to the scalloped tag and the "it's a boy" embellishment from the Hayden Timothy collection (I printed and hand cut the tag and embellishment and layered together).  I think this is cute to give as a pin holder to play the "if you cross your leg, I'll take your pin" game.  I am trying to come up with ideas to use at a baby shower for a friend who is having her first grandchild in November.
