It's GIVEAWAY Time!!

The fabulous people at My Memories have asked me to do a review and giveaway of their digital scrapbooking software.  I am so excited about this!

First off, let's talk about the good and the bad.  Honestly, there is a lot more good than bad.  Being someone who has never used software like this, and the kind of person who rarely (if ever) scrapbooks, I was a little hesitant to get started.

What if I can't figure out the software?  What if I have to sit and read the "how-to" guide every time I want to use it?

Well, I didn't have any of those problems!  The software is really easy to use.  In fact, I put this page together in under 10 minutes! (I also did a whole scrapbook of Sewing Summit, but didn't post pictures of them because I just did my recap last week and it was kind of repetitive.) The My Memories Suite software comes with a bunch of papers, embellishments, etc.

I did wish that more variety came with the software, but it integrates really easily with their website.  They have a lot of free paper packs, embellishments, word art, etc on the website, and some really cute designer album packs for low-cost.

Downloading the additional content is super easy, too!  Once you've completed the checkout process, just go to the Downloads section of your account and download it right onto your computer.  It downloads pretty fast (and I'm on a slooooow internet connection at work) and automatically goes right into the software, so it's totally hassle free there.


Now, down to the nitty-gritty (and the best part, in my opinion).

To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment here on the blog.  Easy peasey, right?

For an extra entry, you can do one, any, or all of the following:

1) Go to the My Memories website, look at all their paper packs, and then come back and leave a comment with which one is your favorite.

2) Follow the My Memories blog and leave a comment here to let me know.

3) Like My Memories on Facebook and leave a comment here to let me know.

4) Follow My Memories on Twitter and leave a comment here to let me know.

6) Tweet about my giveaway and leave a comment here to let me know.

7) Facebook about my giveaway and leave a comment here to let me know.

If you do all of the extras, that's 8 chances you have to win!!  Make sure you leave a separate comment for each one you do so they all get counted! :-)

I'll be drawing a winner on Halloween (happy Halloween!!!)  so make sure that you check back to see if you won!!
