I am so excited to announce Artsy-Fartsy Mama's very first giveaway!!
Let me just start by thanking all of you who read & follow my blog, your support means so much to me!! After putting a lot of thought into what I should offer as a giveaway to such loyal fans, I was coincidentally contacted by My Memories and was offered to review their digital scrapbook software and give away one My Memories Suite v2.0 software download to a lucky winner!! Sounds pretty fantabulous, right?!
Since I don't really have the time or the money to scrapbook anymore, I just save all my digital photos in folders and try to just blog about it on my family blog (which I have been slacking in, too). I should also add that being a graphic designer, my business consists of putting photos, text & embellishments together - so this software sounded like something that would be fun to try and see how it compares to other programs.
To my surprise, My Memories Suite makes scrapbooking SO convenient! It's a simple download, and a plus for me was that it was available for both PC & Mac! It is easy to use, and perfect for even a beginner digital-scrapbooker. I figured it out fairly quickly, but if you do need extra help, My Memories offers plenty of video tutorials and forums to help you! I also like that the program is on your computer, and is not internet based.
I like the fact that you can easily create your own project in minutes. You can also spend hours playing with all the different options! And you don't have to just create scrapbook pages - you can create photo books, calendars, videos, photo greeting cards and so much more. It's also great that you can print your creation, share it online and even get it in book form. (I will probably be trying that soon!)
The program comes with 1500+ background papers, 1300+ embellishments and 20+ new templates. You can create your own template from scratch or use one of the installed templates. I liked that you can drag & drop photos and that your fonts are automatically installed. If you decide you need more papers, embellishments and kits, you can easily download them from their online Design Shop for great prices. Don't forget to check out the free digital scrapbook kits, too!
Honestly, I am more comfortable with the design programs I already use. But for scrapbooking, this is one of the best programs I've seen. Here is one of my creations using My Memories Suite. Feel free to use the image to promote this giveaway! ;)
