My Memories Suite Review and Giveaway!!

A couple weeks ago I was contacted about reviewing a new digital scrap booking software program called My Memories Suite. I have no experience whatsoever with digital scrap booking (and have almost no crafty/designer talent whatsoever) but it sounded like a neat program, so I said yes. After loading the program, which I was pleased to see works on Macs too (you would not believe how many awesome programs only run on PC) I tried designing a scrapbook page. It is so easy! MMS gives you plenty of pre-designed templates to choose from, or you can create your own. I haven't gathered the courage to try making my own template yet :) but I have had a lot of fun with the program! Here is one of the pages I made:

Isn't it cute?! I added the text and 2 ribbons; that's about the extent of my scrapbook creativity! I enjoyed trying out all the design options. There are various embellishments, shapes and "word art" that you can add to your page. You can also get more templates/designs online. Some of these are free, and some cost up to $2.99, but they are really cute. This is honestly a program that even I, who am about as non-scrapbook-type as you can get, enjoyed using! It would be perfect for a mother or grandmother who wants to create memories of her family for keepsakes. You can design a whole album, then print it off and put it in a book! Or you can share your album online, turn it into a movie and burn to dvd...the options are almost endless!
