Guys, the craziest thing happened. Someone contacted me and wanted to do a sponsored giveaway.
It's a company called MyMemoriesSuite and they're all about digital scrapbooking. Here's the downside though, I've never been into digital scrapbooking and I just couldn't see myself doing this program justice. I didn't want to turn down such a fun opportunity though and it didn't take me very long to think of my friend JaCobi who happens to love digital scrapbooking. I asked her if she was interested in guest posting and she immediately said yes.
MyMemoriesSuite provided me with a copy of their software which I passed on to JaCobi for her to play with. So without further ado, here's JaCobi and her review (make sure you read to the very bottom where there's a treat for you).
Hi there!! I'm JaCobi and I blog over at Changed For Good. I'm super excited to be visiting here at Laura Thoughts today and sharing my digital craftyness with you! As some of you may know, I've been into digital scrapbooking for a few years now. I started by downloading the GIMP (an image manipulation software) and then teaching myself how to use it to scrapbook. This was not an easy task, as this software is not very user friendly. But I learned to do what I needed to and have made a ton of scrapbook pages and some other crafty stuff with it. But, recently I got a new digital scrapbooking software! I was so excited to get MyMemorySuite and to try it out! The first thing I noticed is how user friendly it is! It has a convenient side bar menu that makes it quick and easy to add or change anything to your page, whether you want a background paper, a photo, embellishments, or text!
- You can print at home or export to JPEG, which I usually do to post my projects on my blog or facebook, or to have them printed at Costco or Walmart.
- There is a Professional Printing option. You can upload your album right from the program to the MyMemory website to have it printed and bound as a book or calendar.
- And then there are the Multimedia Output options. You can save your album as an Interactive Album, Movie, I-Pod Ready or DVD-Video files.
Some of the other features I love:
- you can just drag and drop photos into photo boxes
- you can rotate text or set it around a circle or square
- you can quickly and easily add a mat or shadow to any photo or element
- change the color of any element
- use page templates from other sources (the program has it's own, but I can't figure out how to use ones that I already have)
- how to change the size of the grid to help line things up more precisely
But the features definitely outweigh the limitations for me!
Now check out some of the other projects I have made with MyMemorySuite digital scrapbooking software:

Hi Laura, oh my goodness, I joined your site then decided to browse, what creativity you have, I love the little one in the laundry basket, those curls are to die for. I saw the info for my memories suite. This program looks AWESOME!!! I have been doing digital for only a short time now, and this software is amazing, and what Jacobi made with it was a selling kicker. I went to her site and let her know what beautiful work she does. I would love to win this giveaway, but either way I am so happy to have found your and Jacobi's sites. Thanks for sharing your creativity!
