Another Give-Away

I am excited because I just got a NEW TOY that is so awesome!!  And I am happy to say that I can give one away for free as well. 

I was given a full, downloadable version of My Memories Suite Version 2.0 digital scrapbooking software (a $39.97 value) to give away to one of my readers!

I LOVE it!  

It is SOOOOOO Simple !!!!

I had to give mine a spin for a few days before I put it up as a give-away. I wanted to see how it worked.  It's fantastic!

Here are some of the things I've done with mine... I created everything on this "day of the wedding" page using some elements from the program.  I was really trying to keep it simple, because you could just fill up the page with all the great embellishments! Oh! and I LOVE being able to add shadow to everything, if you can't tell.  


The photo of groomsmen was taken this summer at the wedding of our son's best friend from high school.  The wedding was in Washington state so we didn't get to go, but I love the pictures. Our son is the one with his arm raised.  I didn't even ask...

These next photos were done using a simple template.  My oldest daughter took the photo of the fence.  I put a bible verse on it. 

You can manipulate the templates and change their size and the location of the photos on the page, but you an also just leave them in the templates that My Memories has created, so you don't even have to figure out how to do anything, its done for you!  Voila!


Another page I worked on was from the recent wedding of my nephew.  I wanted to play around with the type, and boy this was FUN!  Look...

The letters are "painted" with one of the photos from the wedding, in which all the members of the wedding party are raising their glasses for the toast.  I just love it!

Wedding Fun and Give-Away Winner!

First some party photos from this weekend, then on to the AMAZON GIFT-CARD GIVEAWAY!

This past weekend I had the privilege to be in attendance at my nephew's wedding.

 Isn't this the cutest photo ever?? This is my nephew & his bride right after the wedding vows.

They look so very joyful!

My nephew, a widower, has a young son, and this wonderful family lit the candles together.

I was also lucky enough to spend some time with my amazing family who live far from me!

And look at these cake pops!
They were each shaped like tiny little fancy two-layer wedding cakes!

Aren't they adorable!?  The bride chose this instead of traditional wedding cake for the guests.  They tasted absolutely delicious, you could tell they were NOT made from a mix (says the Mix-Queen, I)...

A wonderful time was had by all!!  

Now, onto the GIVE-AWAY WINNER!!  

This was Noreen at www.make-homemade-gifts.com who said:

A Christmas tradition I loved as a child was for all the family to gather at my Grandparents' house on Christmas Eve. That tradition continued at my parents' house with all their children and grandchildren.

Congratulations, Noreen!  You've won the Amazon Gift Card!  

I will contact you by email to make sure I have your email correct, 

and then you will see your gift card in your email box!  

Thank you all SO MUCH for stopping over and playing!!  

I love a good excuse for a party!!  Now if only I could get my camera hooked up to my son's laptop (yup, still haven't fixed my pc since the flood), 

I could actually put up some photos of my crafts!  

I hope to have something up soon, and in the meantime, 

I hope you get the chance to do something creative today!!
