My Memories Suite Version 4 - Giveaway - Sampling Different Kits

If you are a paper scrapbooker, how often have you purchased a kit, but wished you could just take a couple elements out of another kit and plop it on your page? With My Memories Suite Version 4, it is so easy to do.

I rarely use one whole kit for a page. I usually search for elements that I want to add by doing a keyword search. In this instance, I searched for snow globes, and up popped the kit I bought that has five different snow globes in it. What it actually is, is an overlay. You get your image to approximately the same size as the globe using photo shapes and send it backward a step. Voila! I love this particular kit, as it is so much fun.

And of course, you determine the shape and size of your scrapbooking page. It doesn't have to be square. And custom sizes, as I showed in yesterday's blog, are so easy to do. It's no wonder I love this program so much.

You can win a copy of My Memories Suite version 4 - the latest version, which was released the day after Thanksgiving. All you have to do is visit My Memories, browse through the kits, come back and leave a comment telling me which is your favorite kit. It's that simple. If you'd like extra chances to win, visit them on their Facebook page, like their page and come back and tell me in the comments section; and/or follow them on Twitter, come back and leave me a message in the comments section and you will get another entry into the drawing.

The contest ends at Midnight CST on December 20th. Winner will be posted on December 21st.

My Memories Give-away - Day 7 - Not Just for Scrapbooks

If you have been following along this week, you will see I have been scrapbooking pages of our new pet, Mouse. Mouse is a cat. She is a shelter cat and my organizational-minded hubby started a binder with all of the stuff the shelter and the Spay/neuter clinic sent home with us. He asked if I would make a cover and a title strip for the binder.

 I love a challenge and this is what I came up with. I used the sample page from "Rescue Me," on top of a paper background. I used the new "Rip" feature for the "Rescue Me" sample, ripping the left and right edges. I imported the background sample as a photo box, which is why I was able to size it, rip it and shadow it. I used the Word Art function for the title and added a few buttons and a postage stamp shape for the picture backer. I shared it as a .jpeg to print it on cardstock.

The spine insert was created by creating a custom page size. In this case 1.5 x 10.5 inches. This was also printed on cardstock, which made inserting it in the binder spine, so much easier.

My Memories Suite Give-away - Day 6 - Quickpages

We were still anxiously awaiting Mouse, the shelter cat we adopted. To help pass the time I scrapped these two pages, using My Memories Suite v 4.

I used the Rescue Me Quick Pages. I don't normally use quick pages, but I really liked the colors of these. And the little paw prints.

At this point, the only pictures I had of her were the ones on Petfinder.com. So I got the "these might be pixelated" message. But I think they turned out fine!

You can win a copy of My Memories Suite version 4 just by going to My Memories and browsing through the kits. Come back here and tell me which kit is your favorite and that will enter you in the drawing which will be held on December 21st. All entries must be made by midnight CST, December 20th, 2012.

Visit My Memories Facebook Page, like their page and come back and leave a comment telling me you liked their page for an extra entry. And you can also get an extra entry by following them on Twitter and leaving a comment here. It's so easy to win! It's such a great program.

My Memories Suite Version 4 Giveaway - Day 5

Today, I'd like to share with you the newest member of our family. Her name is Mouse and she is about one year old.

Our older daughter opened her apartment door very early one morning and this adorable cat walked in. Because our daughter already had two cats who didn't take this invasion nicely, she called the police and they took little cat to the Animal Shelter.

The funny thing is that my DH and I had just talked about adopting a cat in the new year. Well, sometimes things are just fated, so we went first thing when the Shelter opened on Monday and made her ours.

I made this page using a sample page from "Rescue Me." The title also comes from "Rescue Me."  I was able to add the embellishments easily using version 4 of My Memories Suite.

Would you like to win a copy of My Memories Suite v 4? It's simple. Simply visit the My Memories page and browse through all the great kits available. Then come back and visit me and tell me which kit you've picked out.  For extra entries, like them on Twitter and/or Facebook and come back and tell me that you've liked them. Contest ends on December 20th.
