Back to school and back to blogging.
Let's start with a giveaway.
I used to scrapbook all the time. A LONG time ago. I look back at those scrapbooks now and just sigh. I wish I wouldn't have cut up those pictures and spent so much money on all those funky embellishments. Sure, it's nice to have memories, but my style has changed so much that now I think most of my pages are tacky, and my pictures are all chopped up. I guess those scrapbooks will serve as a good reminder of my wonky style. Like the 80's.
I've heard of digital scrapbooking before but have never paid much attention to it. Then the people at My Memories contacted me about their software and asked me to take a look. I was curious, to say the least.
Their My Memories Suite software was easy to download. I quickly started browsing their page layouts and embellishments to see what this was all about, then downloaded some photos off of iphoto and started making some pages. After about an hour too long and dinner being neglected, I needed to stop. Oh, the possibilities.
I like to give grandparents and the kids photo books for Christmas. This software is just what I need to do that. Wouldn't it be fun to have a little spiral book with funky faces of all your relatives? Or a recipe book. Or an I-Spy book. Or thank you cards.
You can share your pages online, print them at home, or send them to a professional printer. You can also include music or movies to your pages. I'm not a facebooker, but that would be cool to have a talking scrapbook page on your update thing. (Can you do that? I dunno. I'm behind.)
My pages are really simple and basic, just how I like it. I didn't dive into all the possibilities here. There are a lot of embellishments, backgrounds, and templates you can use...I just made my own.
We made Andy's birthday invitations in about 10 minutes.
My Memories wants to give a copy of their My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbook Software to you, a $40 value!

ReplyDeleteI am not a digital scrapbooker... but I loved this post. YOUR kiddos are so darned cute.

I liked the boyish template. simple. modern and still boy. I can't decide if I want to become a digital scrapbooker, I being able to use my own creativity and it seems more from the heart, yet wAY more time consuming.
ReplyDeleteI need this soooo bad! I did a family scrapbook for 2008 through Shutterfly and I resolved NEVER to use it again. Yet, here I am using it again. I don't like it but I couldn't find anything better. I tried looking up a digital scrapbook app through the apple store and it looked like the cheesy layouts that you're probably talking about.
ReplyDeleteI love Joey on the wall, and Kaci Marie. Those looks are timeless.
I loved loved the thank you card, how sassy is Kacie!!! I am a major scrapbooker but want to start trying the digital, I just have not found one that is easy enough for me. I'm kinda computer illiterate!!! I would love to try!
ReplyDeleteI love the weathered floral template.
I just kinda keep all my memories in my head
ReplyDeleteand my heart
but that stuff looks coooool
I would LOVE!!!!to learn how to digital scrapbook. My old supplies and scrapbooks are doing nothing but gathering dust. My youngest 3 children don't even have 1 picture/page in a scrapbook. I feel a little guilty about that. Digital scrapbooking could make it very easy for me to "catch up" at least to the point that I have something for each of my kids in a scrapbook. I hope I win. My favorite template was the swimming template that had 5 picture slots. That way I could put all 5 of my swimteam swimmers on the same page AND be able to insert the team name. I could also use the single picture with the waves (from the same album)for the individual swimmers so they could allhave one for their book and I could have 1 (the layout with 5 picture slots) for the "family book".
