Those lovely people at MyMemories.com contacted me earlier this year and offered me the chance to play with their best-selling digital scrapbooking software program – My Memories Suite – then version 2.0. In return, all I have to do is host a giveaway on my blog – my pleasure!

When I first got the software, there was an awful lot happening at home and on the work front, added to which I have been using my phone as a camera – not ideal really. I am getting a compact digital camera for Christmas and I can’t wait….! I feel that I have made some lovely pages using the program, but the possibilities for the future are endless, and I have only just scratched the surface:

This is just a simple Quick Page to which I have added a couple of photos, my own choice of embellishments and text. It’s called “Grumpy Cat Quick Page” and is a freebie I downloaded from the MMS website! What a great vehicle to practise on, no? Yes!

This is my biggest reindeer from the Christmas collection that I have shown on my blog recently. Here I have used the software to create a December desktop background for my PC – how cool is that? I could also have used him as a background paper for an album… in various sizes, not all square!

I made this page for an album about my DD, Amber, completely from scratch… I was practising whilst watching the video by Lisa J on the My Memories blog, covering all the functions of version 3.0 (which I have upgraded to). I changed the colour of the background paper, the dragonflies, the frame mat for her photo… you can customise all the basics that come with the software.

I watched the Youtube videos on the MyMemories channel and was really impressed by functions like the Fast Fill, which creates a complete album for you, in a hurry, of all the photos in a particular folder, for example your holiday snaps, picnic party, or weekend away. In just 45 seconds, no less! You then can choose whether to burn that album to a CD, have it printed as individual pages or bound into a printed book by My Memories Suite themselves.

I created this page from scratch using my own background papers from my own files, adding text and embellishments along the way. It’s such a fast process, or it can be a lengthy one if you’re a fiddler, like me!! I’m one of those “What if…?” kind of people. I love to experiment, and MMS is ideally suited to that!  This page will be for an album about our pets…

This would make a fun greeting card for family/friends, wouldn’t it? My flowers form the background page and DD is in the forefront. I could make this a page in a calendar if I wanted to… and all using My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software. Amazing! 🙂

There are brilliant tutorials with accompanying pdf. files on the blog too; an active Facebook page with a weekly freebie giveaway of a kit or a page, etc. The blog hosts regular challenges with the chance to win vouchers or kits and of course you can follow along on Twitter for fast news and updates to stay informed.

This is a page I made to honour my Mother. The photo is an excellent likeness of her and I want to get this one printed up and framed, to have her near… I LOVE this program and its all-singing, all-dancing possibilities, and I hope you will too!

Good luck! ♥
