My Memories Suite Review and Giveaway

Hello everyone!  My Memories Suite contacted me to review their digital scrapbook software and to give one away to one of my followers too!  Stay tuned to the end of the post for details on how to win :)

I have never tried digital scrapbooking before trying My Memories Suite. I think it is a lot of fun!  It comes with papers and extras already with the software.  Their website has lots of freebies and sales too.  You can do so much more than just scrapbook pages. 

Here is a page that I made for our puppy Charlie.  I did not use a template, just placed everything on my own.  The software let me save this as a jpeg to my computer so I could just pull it up and add here--I think this is so cool!


I have not tried printing yet, as I do not have a good photo printer.  I think I will have to invest in one -- LOL!  This will be a fun addition to my scrapbooking.  I think I would love to print out pages and still add some dimension.  But, hopefully I can get caught up a bit since I am way behind.

This is a free card template that I found on the My Memories site.  I can't wait to print it out!!


Isn't it cute?!  And what is so great about this software is that you can leave the album all digital and even add music and narration.  This would be great to send to out of town family members.  I think I will try this for Christmas for my family out of state.

Here's 2 pages from a 6 page album that was ready to go.  All I had to do was add some text and my pictures.  It took me maybe 30 minutes!




Now that you have seen the few things I have made, go visit My Memories Suite and check it out for yourself.  Come back here and tell me your favorite paper pack and you will be eligible to win this software for yourself!  There are lots to choose from so grab your coffee or tea and browse away :)

If you are not a winner, you can purchase this software for yourself and get $10 off with this code when you check out:  STMMMS61574.   And if you are on Facebook, make sure to LIKE My Memories -- they have giveaways, freebies, and fun challenges!  I know you will have fun with it too :)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #82

Hi eveyone! Fantabulous Cricut Challange Me Monday day is here!  Today's challenge is Purple People Eater-use purple and a monster or bug on your project :)  So fun!!



Here are the details:
  • Monster cut from Mini Monsters at 3 inches
  • My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns
  • Doodlecharms:
    • Monster Mania Monster Dots Paper
    • Doodle Twine Halloween Assortment
  • TCP Studios Rockets and Rayguns Googly Eyes
  • iRock
  • Action Wobble
  • Black Diamond Stickles
When I went to cut out the monster, the pieces for the eyes and mouth looked so tiny that I decided not to even cut them out.  I knew I would use the stickles for the mouth and then I pulled out these fun googly eyes I bought in September but hadn't used yet. Half the package has extended eyes that bug out.  You can see this in the second picture. 

I hope you have time to play along this week!!  Make sure to visit Fantabulous Cricut to see all the Design Team's Purple People Eaters :)

You can visit my Friday post to leave a comment to win a set of the stamps I used today.  I'll draw a winner tomorrow!

My Pink Stamper Pink-alicious Blog Hop

Hello everyone!!  I just love the 2nd Friday of the month--it's a Pink-alicious Blog Hop night!!  If you have just come from Edna's amazing blog Create with Expression, then you are in the right place.  If not, make sure to head over to My Pink Stamper so you can enjoy all the projects!

Today's challenge is to make a Treat or Goodie Bag with any holiday them and we had to use Yummy-licious or Sweet Goodness.  Mine is more of a box from Art Philosophy (of course!).

This next view shows the side.  It has a cut in the flaps you can't see so those sides just hook together.  Then you finish off the top with ribbon, or twine like I did.  These will go together so quickly and would make great treat boxes for school kids too!

  • My Pink Stamper Yummy-licious set
  • Art Philosophy box cut at 11 inches
  • Very Merry Tags peppermint cut at 2 1/2 inches
  • My Minds Eye Peppermint Patty 12 Days of Christmas paper
  • Heat set gems with the iRock
This was so super easy to put together!  I think I'm going to get some more of this paper and make these for some co-worker's for Christmas and probably put some peppermints in them.

Your next stop is Agnes and her fabulous Flowerdisco's Scrap Hut blog.  When you make it to the end, m ake sure to go back to My Pink Stamper to see where you can buy all her fabulous stamps and to link up your own project that you make for this challenge!

Since you have made it to the end, I have a treat for one lucky comment!  Please leave one comment with a way for me to get in touch with you for a chance to win a My Pink Stamper Spooky Puns stamp set.   I will draw a winner on Tuesday and ship out as soon as I get the address so that you may have them in time for making Halloween goodies!       Giveaway is over.


Hop order in case you get lost:

Have fun and thanks for visiting.
