My Memories Suite Giveaway

OK, I have played with this digital scrapbooking software for the past two weeks and I think it is great.  And remember, I don’t plan on doing scrapbooking.  However I have found several uses for it:  journaling the process of my quilts (or other crafts, someday),printed labels for my quilts, and Christmas cards.

This is my try at the journaling of a past quilt:

Practice piece 1-001

It was so easy to set this page with the pictures I already had.  And this layout only took me about 30 min. even though I haven’t used any of the tutorials that can be found on the My Memories webpage.  One of the neat things is that you can create an album of several pages for each quilt or project you do, you do not have to have everything on one page like I have above.  You also can make the pictures any size you want and can crop the pictures right in the software.

I would show you my Christmas Card plan but, unless I come up with something better, I will be using it this December.

So, anyone want to win a copy of My Memories Suite?  If so, please visit the My Memories web page and look at the different layouts available.  Then leave me a comment on this post telling me which layout you like the best.  On Monday I will be picking a winner.  And, if you don’t win I will have a way to purchase the software at a discount so don’t miss this opportunity.

I've just recently acquired My Memories Suite and will be having a giveaway on my blog soon.....so anyone who visits here should keep looking at my blog for that (probably within the next two weeks). Nice page documenting that quilt of yours, Gari!

Great idea to make signature squares for quilts! I love all the foodie pages too! I would love to make a recipe book with them. Thanks for a chance!

I LOVE the "Spooked" layout! I just cut fabric last night for two Halloween quilts and that pack would match perfectly with some pictures of the progress. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love to win this... it might be much easier than PhotoShop. For the life of me I can't figure out where to see the designs you've made. Am I missing something. I think the label idea is great though.

Duh ... I just reread the instructions... look at the available designs... bleh... no brain working yet this morning. I liked Cherry Lemonade... and I noticed that the designs will work with Photoshop which makes me think all the designs I currently have would work with this suite. Pick me, pick me! B.
