My Memories Digital Software Giveaway and Ideas-CLOSED


When I was contacted by My Memories to do a review and host a giveaway of their My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software Suite, the first word that came to my mind was... REDEMPTION! See I had an experience a few years ago.  The women's organization of my church group was doing a scrapbooking night.  They passed around a sign up sheet during church for people who would be interested in bringing a scrapbook.  I had just finished my daughters baby book so I was excited to bring it.  I noticed something when I set it on the display table when the scrapbooking night came.  My scrapbook was noticibly different from the rest.  Come to find out that I had overlooked one big part on the scrapbooking night sign up sheet.  It was a DIGITAL scrapbooking night.  Wow I felt foolish.  Well now is my chance at redemption! I knew you could use the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software to make digital scrapbooks but I was intrigued by the other possibilities that the software also provides.  I first used the software to solve a little problem of mine.


This is my current stack of papers cookbook.  Wow it is bad.  The majority of the recipes are written down on papers and tucked in between the cookbook and where the cover used to be attached.  It is a pain to find the recipe that I want.  So I decided to use the My Memories Software to remedy this.  One thing that I love about commercial cookbooks are the pictures.
 
I am way more likely to make a new recipe if I can see a picture of it.  This will be my ongoing project to take a picture of the food when I make it but I am really excited about this project and am looking forward to turning it into a family gift when I am all done.

I am planning on printing them out and putting them in a 3 ring binder in plastic sleeves.  Easy, functional, stylish.

Of course the digital software has a bunch of embellishments for you to use but I am a simple girl so I went with a simple layout (except when it comes to birthday parties-then anything goes). 


The next thing I did with my software was to compile one of my instaFriday posts into a memory page.  I think this will be such a fun idea.  You take your instaFriday pictures or whatever pictures you have taken from a certain week and compile them all together.  I was happy at how easy it was to use one of the photo layout templates to put together my own page.  Plus I can add journaling and everything is really easy and fast to do.
