My Memories Giveaway - Day 15 - Mischief Maker

Our shelter cat, Mouse, is giving me plenty to do and scrap about. She is full of mischief and has her ears tuned to the sound of our closet door opening. Or planting herself under the Christmas tree out of reach. I'm afraid the gift wrappings are starting to get a little wet from me spraying her with the water bottle. And I swear she goes under there so I'll use the laser pointer to lure her out - which works every time!

I love this paper "Santa Paws and Santa Claws" by MagsGraphics from the My Memories store. It's so versatile. I kept this page simple, using curly bracket frames from 4 Seasons - Winter by MarieH. The smaller papers were added as photos and came from Give Thanks by Sweet Pea Designs and are embossed. I did a search for embossed papers and liked how well these played with the background paper. And this is how I generally work, mixing kits!

My Memories Suite Giveaway - Day 13 - More on Templates

Sometimes, it is easier to use a template than to take the time to align elements yourself. I wanted a specific layout, so I went searching in the Designer Templates for a layout I liked.

What I will do when I find one, is to save it as a template album in this case I saved as Classic Template album and then I am able to just import one page from that album into my working album.

The photo layout I chose consisted of five photos. Where I inserted the word art, is actually a photo box, which I inserted with paper.  You can see our sweet little Mouse is full of mischief. It's all I can do to keep her from knocking all the ornaments off the tree. Some people count the days until Christmas, I am counting the days till the tree comes down! Hopefully by my hands and not her little paws!

My Memories Suite V. 4 Giveaway - Day 11 - Templates

One of the great features of My Memories Suite is that of being able to use designer templates and there are some great ones that come with the program. Even better, if you have a selection of photos you want to use, you can have the photos autofill the templates or you can opt to pick and place them yourself.

This page was done with the Stocking Stuffers template by Snickerdoodle Designs. It's so cute. All I added was the cat in Santa hat from Santa Paws & Santa Claws kit by MagsGraphics that I bought last week. It seemed appropriate.

These templates are great if you are out of ideas and want to produce a book quickly for a gift. You can choose your layout and add pages at the time you opt for the templates. It also allows you to see what the other pages look like. If you would like to have a two page spread that the right page is the mirror image of the left page, you can do that. I just love the features of this program.

My Memories Suite V 4 Giveaway - Day 10 - Speed Scrap

One of the fun activities is "Speed Scrap" on Sundays at 8 pm Eastern/7 pm Central on the My Memories Facebook page. I hadn't done one in quite a while, so it was fun to do this as fast as possible. Sometimes it can be nerve-wracking. Here is my finished page.

In order to follow quickly it helps to pick out a kit and subject matter ahead of time. Sort of cheating ... or search while you are trying to scrap. Jessica always makes it challenging.
