My Memories Digital Scrapbook {Review & Giveaway}

If you know me, I love to do anything creative, and I wish I had the time and patience to sit down and put together a scrapbook.  However, I don't.  My Memories contacted, asking for me to do a review of their digital scrapbooking software.  I was pretty ecstatic to give this a try!  The wonderful thing about digital scrapbooks, is its all done on your computer...no mess, no clutter, and it's easy to use.

Before I downloaded the software I started browsing their website.  They have different kits to choose from, some cost and some are free.  They have pre-made templates, or you can create your own from scratch.  You can print your pages and put them together in an album, you can create a slideshow of your pages and share them with your friends and family, you can even add sound and other interactions to your pages. 

From their website:

My Memories Suite will help you build beautiful pages from scratch or to make a page using one of the many professionally-designed scrapbook templates provided within the scrapbook software. A large collection of papers and embellishments are available at your fingertips to help you make each page uniquely your own. Drop in your in pictures in seconds-then crop, edit, retouch and rotate them right on the page. If this were any other scrapbooking software, you might be finished. But with My Memories Suite, the real power-and fun-of this software is just beginning.

You can make a beautiful scrapbook an interactive memory experience for anyone who sees it. Use simple one-click options to enhance your scrapbooks, with music, narration, video, and even the Internet. Go beyond pictures by showing off video of the birthday party, or record a narration to capture the memories that pictures alone cannot. With My Memories Suite you simply don't look at a scrapbook-you experience it!

After I downloaded the My Memories Suite Scrapbooking Software v2.0, I got to work on my very first scrapbook page.  I downloaded a couple of free kits to choose from, and then started narrowing it down to what I wanted.  I created one from Mel & Dustin's wedding last year...

I used the "Moment" digital pack, adding in some gradient colored text and fun embellishments.  Their colors were Yellow & Charcoal, which I just loved (pretty popular colors right now)!  Don't you just love it?

I know I'm having a lot of fun creating pages; you'll probably start seeing more posts from me sharing my digital scrapbooking creations.
