Giveaway Time!

So, you all know I'm a really crafty lady, right? But did you know that I suffer from what psychologists simply deem as "scrapbook anxiety"? It's true! (Okay, I'm not sure if the psychologists part is true, but the part I made up sure is!) I'm not very good at scrapbooking. In fact, when my manager suggested that I become "an expert" for the scrapbook area of the store, I politely declined because I honestly know nothing about it. (If you'd have seen the scrapbooks I created in grade school, you would agree with me.) Pretty much, scrapbooks are not my forte, and I had given up on ever understanding them.

Then something unexpected happened. I was contacted recently by Liz from My Memories to do a giveaway of their digital scrapbooking software. I was hesitant at first, thinking about all the horrors of scrapbook mayhem I had concocted in the past (okay, I may be exaggerating a bit there), but once I played around with it I really started to enjoy it! It makes creating scrapbook pages so much easier because you do it all digitally! I really like that, being a Photoshop aficionado and all :) Plus, I can add my own touch of customization to any of the pages! (Even better!) So of course I said yes, and here we are!


Just in case my description of My Memories was confusing, here's the gist:
My Memories is a digital scrapbooking software designed for anyone from total newbs to the superstars of scrapbooking! Everything you need to get started is included in the software, and you can find hundreds of other packs to buy to fill in the gaps and expand your horizons. From my experience, the whole package seems a lot cheaper than physically doing it yourself. And here's my favorite part: they even offer lots of freebies! Everything from background papers and embellishments to text and Quick Pages (that's what they call pages that are already made for you). I've downloaded a bunch of everything already. Plus, with My Memories, you can save whole albums, convert them to .jpg so you can share them anywhere digitally, and print your scrapbooking pages. But wait, there's more! (lol) I've heard that you can make blog headers easily, as well as holiday cards with My Memories Suite. In fact, I've whipped up a little holiday card of myself and Mr. Marine to show you an example:

That was created using some basic tools, quite a bit of tweaking, and general knowledge of the software. Not bad, eh?

It took a bit of getting use to the interface before I was comfortable exploring my creative side, but once I got the basics down, I really enjoyed it. So much easier than doing it in real life, if you ask me! No mess!

Let's face it, most of us are digital people, and printed photos aren't something we concern ourselves with anymore. If you've ever wanted to try digital scrapbooking software for yourself, or just like to get things for free (hey, I'm not judging you!) then I've got a giveaway for you! I'm giving away a copy of MyMemories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software v 2.0 to a very lucky reader! And since this is my first giveaway, I want it to be big and fun!

Feel free to use this button to spread the word!
I made it using (you guessed it!) My Memories.

      A blog award and anyone up for a giveaway?!

      A BIG thank you! to Janey over at A Few of my Favorite Things for giving me this blog award! Please check out her blog, she's awesome! I can't state that enough, seriously. So here's the dealio:

      The Liebster Blog Award is given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is a German word meaning dear, sweet, kind, nice, good, beloved, lovely, kindly, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome.

      To keep this award going, pass the award along to 5 other new deserving bloggers who have less than 200 followers.

      The rules for the Liebster Blog Award are:
      1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
      2. Reveal your top 5 picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog
      Jane, you're wonderful! Thank you for being my most faithful follower and caring enough to catch up with me once in a while when I haven't been very active on my blog. I love your posts and enjoy reading about your life and seeing your cute puppies! Keep up the good work. :)

      So without further ado, the Liebster Blog Award is passed on to:

      Ashley at The Mommyhood Adventure: I think I found her through a blog hop, but I stuck around because I liked her style and after I found out she sung karaoke in contests, I was smitten! Check her out, she's not your average mommy ;)

      Charla at Heart Like Mine: I stumbled across her blog somehow, and since then I've been hooked. She's inspired me a lot, even though I've never told her so. The inspiration for her blog title turned over a new leaf in my life and I also really enjoy reading her posts :) Sorry for being a lurker instead of a dedicated commenter though, lol.

      Jenn at Pickles and Cupcakes: Yet another lovely bloggie that I found from a link-up. She's been a pretty supportive reader of mine, and I try to reciprocate as best as I can. I always enjoy reading her posts and I think she has pretty good taste in music too, from what I can remember! :)

      Erinn at It's the Journey: She's recently changed her blog from "As it were or even if it weren't.." I like it either way, personally :) I met Erinn through a blog link-up (notice a pattern yet?) She is so nice, so supportive, and has a great taste in music. Also she's a pretty great dancer and posts things that I like to read.

      And finally,
      Jillian at Iron and Sunshine: Jillian is the kind of person who can inspire you to put your mind to whatever you like and believe that you will accomplish your goals. At least that's what I got from reading her blog. :) Besides, she's just plain awesome and the pictures she posts in her blog are top noch!

      Please be sure to check these ladies out and give them some praise for their neatness! :)


      So here's the part where I tell you about the giveaway that I'm hosting soon:
      I'm teaming up with "My Memories" and am giving away a copy of their program for free to one lucky reader! But I cannot stress this enough, this is just a warning to be on the look-out for the post that should be up within the next week. Any comments made on this post will not go towards being entered into the contest, ya digg? This is my first giveaway and I hope it goes well. Any tips to offer up? :) Thanks in advance!

      ...and thank you so much for reading
