MY MEMORIES.COM & A GIVEAWAY

Hello Crafty Friends~Have I got a post for you today!

The wonderful folks @ MY MEMORIES.COM have offered a special gift for ONE lucky follower of my blog. It is the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software!

If you don't know about MY MEMORIES.COM let me fill you in on what you have been missing.

It is a digital scrapbooking software program that offers you so much crafty flexibility. The My Memories Suite is a fun filled, diverse and artfully prepared digital, scrapbooking software program designed to help you succeed at digital crafting in a snap. Their site is easy to navigate, the software is chock full of freebies and the amount of graphics to chose from are over abundant! You can definitely do more than scrapbook pages with this software because it allows for many sizing & styling options. You can print your creations & adhere them to tiles, canvases, coasters, chipboard & more to create your unique, personalized & customized works of art. The program does all the work for you all with the touch of your masterful fingers on the handy dandy computer. So while it is still a computerized work of art, you are using your hands in a different sense to make the magic come to life. By the way, you can use it with PC's &/or MACs.

With this software you can print your own photos or link up & have them printed for you & mailed right to your door step. You can use their designs or start from scratch. You can share your creations with others & more.

I got warmed up by making a quick page using the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Software.

I was able to customize the page with the photo & text you see just with a touch of a few key strokes. I also changed the color photo to a sepia toned & tried another feature to size the photo to fit in the circle and make it seem like you were looking into a ship's porthole window. I enjoyed the ability to customize. I did all that on my first try!

Once I finished that I decided to try another quick page but this time I printed it out on photo paper, adhered it to chocolate cardstock, used a corner rounder, inked up the edges on both the photo & the cardstock. I then used a little Tim Holtz crackle paint in rock candy, let it dry. Then mounted the digital printout onto a mouse pad base & laminated it together. After, I adhered a pom,pom ribbon around the outside edge. That ribbon edging actually helps the mouse to stay on the pad by creating a mini barrier. Remember to use strong adhesive that will work on laminated surfaces if you try this.

Check it out below:

Here it is all finished:

You can find this quick page design HERE FOR FREE. It is called the Togetherness Quick Page.
