A new trick! And a GIVE AWAY!

Hi there, it has been a little while since I've posted anything creative but it is not because I haven't been busy!  I have been very busy sewing lots of costumes for the production of Annie that my daughter is in, but I have also had a new toy.

My Memories contacted me a while ago to see if I wanted to try their digital scrap booking products.  I had to think about it for a little while because I am not very well versed in computer software programs and I knew I would be very busy at this time of year.  What I also discovered is that I will ALWAYS be busy and they have a great customer service line!!  I used to scrap book with my film printed pictures before I had children, but now that all my pictures are on my computer....A). I NEVER get to see them and B). they NEVER get a journal log or shared.  What is the purpose of taking pictures if they only live in the computer and no one ever sees them?  And what if the unthinkable happens and your computer hard drive fries? (Like mine did this summer???)  What happens with all of those fabulous memories you downloaded to the computer for "someday".  Well, I decided that I should at least try a digital scrap booking method. So I decided to go ahead with My Memories offer.  They allowed me to download the My Memories Suite software for free to try it out.  Let me just say it is VERY comprehensive!  I LOVED all the options for backgrounds and papers.  They basically have a layout for every imaginable event, season or Holiday.  I really appreciated the pre-organized pages that allowed me to drag and drop my pictures into a fully designed layout.  I am a busy Mamma and I don't have the time to dream up beautiful page designs!  However, if you do, they have options for you as well. Pick your own papers and accents and design away!

Now for the really fabulous part!  They very generously offered me the opportunity to do a give away for you guys, so you can have your own My Memories Suite software download!  The ideas for this are endless.  Of course for you scrap bookers, there is and endless array of digital scrap booking options, but for you sewers and quilters out there, I am envisioning a whole new level to memory quilting!  No more just printing plan old photos onto transfer fabric, now we can make a whole story unfold on the page with test included and print it out onto the transfer paper ready to incorporate into our projects!!  Yippee!  The page above is just a quick layout I picked but I hope to be able to do some really fun pages and get some printed on fabric for Christmas gifts.  I just knew that I couldn't wait until all of that was done if I wanted one of you to be able to have some fun before Christmas too!
