I Don’t Scrapbook, but With This Software, I’m Going to Start: A Review and Giveaway

I wish I was a scrapbooker, but I’m not. For a lot of reasons; I have the attention span God gave a humming bird, I don’t have the room or the patience to spread all the materials out, I have zero skills and even less talent at scrapbooking.

But I love the look of the pages.  And the idea of at the end of the year putting all our pictures together sort of a year in review.  And I take hundreds of photos over the course of a year. I would love to be able to do something with them besides save them to flash drives at the end of each year.

It seemed like a perfect fit when MyMemories.com contacted me and offered me the opportunity to review their digital scrapbooking software.  It combined my love of photography, my love of my laptop, and took into account my aversion to mess and clutter and rolled it all into a very easy to use scrapbook software program that makes me look like a creative genius.  Yes, please.

I downloaded their scrapbooking software from their website.  While I was there, I browsed through their free kits they offered and downloaded several other pages, packs, and other goodies I could use and installed them as well.  Then, I was ready to go.

That was three hours ago.  I have been sitting here at my laptop browsing through all the premade templates they offer.  (it comes with over 40 premade templates) Each template has at least 5 pages, some as many as 10, and the photo only templates usually have 25 pages so there is no shortage of options to chose from.  Each page can be rearranged, items added or removed, colors changed to suit your preferences.

Just to show you that even my lack of a creativity gene isn’t a problem, I made the following pages. (in about 10 minutes each, I have a LOT of pictures to look through)

Yes, those were all premade pages, but I added a few personal touches to each one (besides my own pictures, obviously).  Drag and drop makes it simple. It automatically resizes your pictures to fit, and everything on the pages can be manipulated to suit you.

Now, the good news is, the people at MyMemories.com have graciously allowed me to give away a free copy of their Digital Software Suite (a $40 value) to one of my readers.  Yay them! And Yay You!  With 2011 winding down, what easier way to remember this year with a scrapbook of your photos.  They make sharing your albums easy so you can share them with grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends.  You can also print them so that you can have a ‘real’ scrapbook.

So how do you get your own copy of My Memories Suite?  Easy peasy.

Leave me a comment and tell me which one of the above pages you like best.
