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!  


To enter, you'll need to visit the My Memories website and take a look through their products. Then come back here and leave a comment below telling me what interests you the most along with your email address so that I can contact you if you win. 

You can earn additional entries by doing the following and leaving a separate comment for each:
That's a LOT of ways to win!  Be sure your post either includes your email or attaches to your email, so I can let you know when you win. 

Winner will be chosen on Friday, December 16th at 5pm!!   If I email YOU as the winner, and you don't get back to me within 48 hours, then I will choose another winner.  So check your email...

3 Ways to Be a Super-Hero

My daughter is in LOVE with the Hippie Tote I made last week, and even though I have lots of requests for more from my other daughters and their friends, I have been trying to make some headway in my house - it's a wreck and I can't even set up for Christmas!

Oh! Did I tell you that I am going to have another Give-Away this week?

However, it takes me forever to get anything done, because I get so EASILY DISTRACTED (see above, lol).

In fact, recently I have been enlisted to be the newest super hero...Easily-Distracted Woman!



How did I do that?  Nice of you to ask!  By doing a few things...

#1.  Making MORE cookies... (recipe adapted from HERE)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies adapted from Smitten Kitchen

#2.  Making some pretty scarves...


 #3.  And I have ALSO been ignoring my cleaning and decorating because I've been using digital scrapbooking software, which I will be posting about here in the next few days.  I started playing around with digital scrap-booking after I went to that "crop" in the spring, because I just loved that I could create beautiful images and vignettes using my photos that I have in my computer.  I can't wait to show off what I'm working on!

So stayed tuned for THAT, and my next GIVE-AWAY!!
