A big thanks to everyone who left comments and entered the My Memories scrapbooking software giveaway.

I numbered everyone except for Anonymous (Christine Bennett) who already has this software.  Using a random number selector 8 was the lucky number.

Congratulations Rhonda and I look forward to seeing some classy scrapbooking pages featuring your new grandson.  I will email you details of your win.

For those of you who were not so lucky don’t be too disappointed – just take advantage of the special offer (in my sidebar) using the promotional code for a $10 discount on the My Memories software together with a $10 voucher to use in their shop - $20 value.  My Memories is normally $39.95 USD so with the discount it is a very, very affordable buy.  Apart from scrapbooking, there are just so many other things you can do with it.  Try it.  I know you will be impressed.

Thanks again.

Our grandsons

Once again I am trialling my new My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software.  Made these two pages on our grandsons in a flash using the templates that come with the software.  Have used nothing else, just inserted the photos and voila!!  I will get more creative later and start with a blank page and pull in the different backgrounds and creative elements myself but for now am quite content to use their wonderful designs.  And you will never run out as there are literally hundreds of  cool design packs that can be bought at a small cost (yes I was amazed at how cheap they are) from the MyMemories.com shop.

Only another 3 days to go before I do the draw for one lucky reader to win a free copy of this fantastic software.  Just go to my previous post which gives the instructions for entering this giveaway.  Thanks to all those who have already entered by leaving comments and naming their favourite design or background pack.  You will soon know the winner and if that is not you don’t despair.  See my offer on the right of this page and save money buying the software suite with the generous discount My Memories are offering my readers.  The normal retail price is only $39.97 USD so with the discount and no shipping (just download straight on to your computer) this is a really reasonable price for such wonderful software.

Here are the pages I made.  By the way, by using the correct paper and printer settings I have been able to make a much better job of printing out these pages so that makes me real happy.  Might have to look around and see about replacing my A4 printer with an A3 one so that I can print them out larger.

 

 

Taken at the beach a couple of years ago.

Love these photos.

 

 

 

 

 

Had a hard job finding photos of these two.  As it is the one of the two of them fishing was taken a few years ago.  I have got plenty of them when they were younger but no recent ones.  Must speak to my daughter and see if she can let me have some.

Scrapbooking Software giveaway

I am thrilled to tell you that I am hosting a giveaway of the top rating My Memories Suite Scrapbook software.  Scroll down and see some examples of what I have made so far using this software, not only quick, fun and easy to use but also utilises some of the nicest designs and templates I have seen.  Make scrapbook pages, photo books, greeting cards and much, much more.

To enter simply leave a comment either on this blog, or on Facebook when this Networked Blog shows up on my Facebook page and let me know your favourite digital paper pack or layout that you find on www.memories.com.  I will give each comment a number and the draw will take place on Wednesday 5th December.  I will use a random number selector to pick the winner.

However, do not despair if you do not win a free copy of this software as My Memories has offered my readers a special $10 discount off the purchase price of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the My Memories store - $20 value!)  To get this special offer just enter the promotional code STMMMS30955 when purchasing.

These are the two pages I have done.  My printer isn’t the best but hope to upgrade one day or get them printed out professionally.  I will show you 2 versions of each page – the first will be just as it comes using the My Memories suite and the second is printed out and has some 3D embellishments (using stamped images) to show how you can ‘lift the page’ a bit more and give it more dimensions.  Please remember I am a newbie using digital scrapbooking so hope to get more creative as time goes on.  I have been neglecting my scrapbooking over the past couple of years and am well behind so hope that now it is much easier to create my pages that I will get my enthusiasm back though I do like to combine the digital with the hand-made concept.

  

On the left is the original and on the right my printed and 3d embellished version. As you can see my stupid printer has got the colours wrong!!  I removed the original flower embellishment in the bottom right hand corner and replaced it with a stamped, cut out flower and added the butterfly.  Both are raised using dimensionals.

   

Once again the printed version on the right is different colours but you will see the only alterations I have made are the butterflies which I stamped, coloured and punched out and raised using dimensionals.  Only a subtle difference but in real life looks really nice.

Please also note that I did not print these in a photo format which probably results in a much clearer printout.

Anyway, please go check out My Memories and take advantage of these great offers.

Happy scrapbooking all.
