Hello my dear friends, I hope you had a good weekend.
I am always humbled by your beautiful words and friendship. Please know how appreciative I am of your daily visits, and as much as I try to say it with words, there are times when I wish I could show you with actions. That is why when the nice people from My Memories Suite contacted me for a review and giveaway, I was truly excited to be able to share it with you.
I do have to admit that I was a little hesitant as I am not all that savvy when it comes to digital scrapbooking and even though I had heard of My memories suite, I had not previously tried their software. I politely informed them that I would only do a giveaway if I truly felt the software was a great product. Their response was that they expected nothing but my honest review, and so here it is…..
This is the first layout I worked on.
After the initial download, which took approximately 10 -12 minutes, it took me less than 15 minutes to learn how to navigate through their program.
The program has step by step instructions and it’s fairly easy to understand. I created this template on my own, but they have numerous pre-designed templates available.
Such as this one. All I had to do was change the colours to my liking, move and add some of the snowflakes and load the picture. In total, this layout took less than 5 minutes. The pictures I am showing you are individual jpeg format, but you can create albums with music, books, CD’s etc.
A quick collage from my previous post. I love those little wooden pegs.
I decided to keep my layouts simple and without many embellishments
but there are many to choose from.
And while I was at it , I made these prints just for you. I think people have the notion that you can only create albums with digital scrapbooking, but as you can see, you can also create prints, invitations, thank you cards etc. You just need to think outside of the box.
Right click on the picture,
save it onto your desktop and print.
All of the embellishments and fonts that you see are from My Memories Suite version 2 package. There are many others to choose from, both that can be downloaded for free or purchased.
I can honestly say that I was very pleased with the program and it became addictive very quickly. I created several other albums, which I will be downloading onto a CD, which means I just created extra space on my hard drive for more pictures 🙂
Here is a sample of some other albums I found on their website…
On to the good part….
I am excited to be able to provide you with an opportunity to win your own My Memories Suite software.

Viver. Lembrar. Gravar e recordar. Criar através de novas sensações melhores vivências: isso é ser famílias. Linda postagem. Boa semana
Ooo, looks like fun. Currently we keep all our photos on iPhoto with back-ups on our home server and Apple TV. I also never erase a memory card so that is stored away for additional back up.
Thanks for doing the giveaway!!! Hope all is well.
Looks like I could spend HOURS with that program! Currently my pictures are mostly in boxes and on two hard drives…
My photos are on my harddrive…..and in boxes.
I love the October paper pack!!!!
Twitted about this…
Sitting in my computer. All 10,000 of em. lol
Very cool. Love the digi pages you did. I wanted to let you know that I have a button for you on my blog for being on my Feature Me Daily with your book pumpkins. I just loved them and had to share with others. I hope you will come by and pick it up.

We currently keep most of our photos on an external hard drive. I’d love software like this to create books to display and give away our photos to family.
I love all the paper packs by Let Me Scrapbook! There are just too many beautiful choices! I love the colors in the Berry Bliss pack.
And I follow your blog in Google reader. Thanks for the chance to win!

Ooooo, fun giveaway!! I keep some of my photos in albums, some in boxes, and many on my computer. Can you tell I am organized?! 🙂 I’d love to win this giveaway! 🙂
I have thousands of pictures on my hard drive. I know I cringe too but I backup daily. My winter’s project is going to be organizing them. I checked out this software and its ideal for what I want to do. I’ll throw my hat into the ring and pray I’m the lucky winner. Thank you for having such a great giveaway!!!
I have older pictures in albums and boxes. All of my digitals are on my computer. Hmmm, I should probably do something about those.
I “liked” them on facebook. Now I’m off to browse their site.
My photos are on my hard drive, on an external hard drive and a lot are also on my cell phone camera. This looks like a great site to store them on.
Thanks for the chance to win some great software and digital options. I currently don’t own or use anything such as this.
I spent a lot of time on their site the other day and than forgot to come back and even enter the giveaway, as I got so engrossed into looking. I walked away loving what you did most with your example page called “Neutral Fall”, so that would be my #1 pick. Love the tiny clothespin clips you used for that, the color tones, and the images are gorgeous as well. As a Vintage Redesign Jewelry Artist this would be perfect for showcasing my designs.
I liked on facebook too.
My computer is full of photos. About once a month (or when I remember) I copy them to an external hard drive.
I love the Monster Mash Pack pack! There are a ton that I like though!
Liked them on facebook as Brandy A
I’m following them on twitter now.
Okay, last but not least there are so many different things to see on their website that it’s a little overwhelming but so far I really like the pack…Moms the Word Pack. They also have tons of things that can be downloaded for free. I’ve never done digital scrapbooking. Wouldn’t mind having a go at it though. Thanks so much for the opportunity and the reminder for the giveaway! Thanks for the leaf tutorial too!
love these! like so many others, my computer is full of photos ~ I try to download these to discs when I remember. thanks for a chance to win!
I have not taken the plunge into digital scrapbooking, but have wanted to do this for years. My family has tons of pictures on the computer that I would love to work with this new digital scrapbooking software.
I love all your beautiful calming and lovely posts. I would love to win this exciting giveaway. Martha Pitts
I’m actually here to let you know how much I like your cloth leaves. But, as long as you asked, I keep my photos in IPhoto & always keep the memory cards filed away.
Hi Lu, wonderful giveaway, I am sorry I am just now entering! I am completely guilty of keeping my photos on my computer…. And once in awhile I back them up on an external drive…. Whyyyyyyyy don’t I print them? So sad!
My photos are on my computer and I am sloooowly backing them all up to smugmug. I have scrapbooks for 10 years and then it all went digital.
My fav is all wrapped up!
I follow you via email. I love your blog.
Blessings,
Shelley
My photos are here on my hard drive and for the life of me, I can never find the one I want when I need it. Organized I am not.

My digital photos are on my hard drive, and backed up on CD in our fire safe. My print photos are mostly in boxes. Wishing I could get them all in a viewable format so we could all enjoy them!

My favourite pack is “Moments of Everyday”.

I am completely guilty of keeping mine on a hard drive. YEARS of them. (and now feeling scared f a hard drive crash, thinking about buying an external tomorrow!)
Hello, I am a new visitor and love what I have seen so far!
I really had never heard of digital scrap booking before but with a new grandbaby I have tons of pictures both on my computer and in boxes (sadly) I am sure I could spend hours using this software! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My favorite digital paper pack from mymemories.com is the “cowboy up pack”
I “like” My Memories on FB
