My Memories Software Giveaway!!

Liz, from My Memories, contacted us to see if we wanted to do a digital scrapbooking software giveaway.  We couldn't resist!

The my memories suite software is easy to use, has great layouts to choose from, and various free elements to get your creative juices flowing.  The software isn't limited to just scrapbooking either.  You can create cards, videos, and photo books too!

So here's the deal:  My Memories would love to give one of our readers their own FREE DOWNLOAD for their my memories suite software.  And, as a special deal for all of our readers, they gave us a Share the Memories coupon code STMMMS45229 that provides a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software AND a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store!  There are loads of fun scrapbooking kits and album templates choose from.  

I created the following scrapbook layout using one of the easy layout templates and some of the free elements which are included with the software.  Oh, and some wonderfully-dated photos from my high school days.  :)

I also made this Christmas Card:

Digital Scrapbooking

When I started my personal blog in 2007, I also started dabbling in digital scrapbooking.  I liked that I didn't have to clean up my mess (or pull it out to begin with), I didn't run out of my favorite paper EVER, and when printed, the pages took up far less space.

I don't claim to be amazing (far from it actually), but I have become completely converted.  Thanks to blog printing, I still have pretty scrapbooks which are, by far, more financially sound and space-friendly.  If you're interested in trying your hand at some digi-scrapping, here are some things you'll need:

• a graphics/design program for your computer (I have used PrintMaster Publishing Suite, PhotoShop--I have the CS2 edition, and Gimp--like PhotoShop, but it's a FREE download)
• some tutorials (I use THIS and THIS constantly)
• and some supply sites--some are free and others require payment (Favorite FREE sites:  Summertime Designs, Shabby Princess, Craft Crave, and DigiScrap Depot)

Do you have other favorite sites for supplies and tutorials?  If so, please share!  I would LOVE to add more to my list.  :)
