My Memories Scrapbook Review and Giveaway

One of my dreams is to put all my photos into scrapbooks for my daughter.  Okay realistically – I don’t think I could accomplish scrapbooking 50 years worth of photos…but I can dream that I can.  I actually wish scrapbooking was something I grew up with – it would be so much easier than starting now – oh well, such is life.  I will do what I can and know that I at least gave it a shot!  That being said I am going to start with my digital pictures and I am going to let My Memories digital scrapbooking software assist me.

I’ve tried a few programs – just to play around with over the years  to create cards, invites and so on; but I found with those programs that every time I upgraded my computer to a different Windows – that software was useless. My Memories isn’t like that. They offer upgrades at a discounted price. Not only that, but if you’re looking to scrapbook a wedding there’s a software just for that – the ‘My Memories Wedding Studio.’ And, there’s also the My Memories Photobook Studio software.

The suite software is quite intensive – but not hard to use.  There are over 1500 papers and over 1000 page elements to make your creations.  That being said, I had quite the time trying to figure out which elements and papers I wanted to use because I wanted to show you several on one page.  I added to the template (on right) the following:

• I cropped each photo
• The scrolls 
• The buttons 
• The bow on pic 2
• The bottom checkered banner
• The text (Happy Holidays was already on the paper – I just made it smaller and moved it)
• The colored box behind the text (1st pic)
• I rotated the pics
• The blue outline around the pics
• And – I removed a bunch of snowflakes that were on the template to begin with
