I was delighted recently to be asked to review the My Memories Digital Scrapbooking Suite Software.
I've never before tried digital scrap-booking but have been intrigued by it, and interested by the results that I've seen some people produce using it. It's certainly a lot less messy than scrap-booking with assorted papers and glue (though as I always use reclaimed materials when I do paper collaging or scrap-booking then it's a useful and enjoyable form of recycling). The best thing with digital scrap-booking is that it is so easy to change things if you get something wrong, which avoids wasting time and materials! My Memories software includes a useful Check Album feature, so you never need to make a mistake again!
Anyway I enjoyed playing around with the My Memories software, it's got lots of choices for backgrounds, photo layouts and embellishments with a whole range of album templates to suit the mood and topic of your scrapbook. You also have the option of creating your own album design from scratch. You can create recipe cards, greetings cards and a whole variety of other items that can be stored digitally or printed out for use.
Here is one result of my experimentation, a page that is currently in an album that I'm putting together on Spring in the Dells, by the Water of Leith, although it could equally well work as a greetings card. In fact, I think my biggest use of the software in the future will be to make digital greetings cards.

Digital Scrapbooking sounds a great deal of fun and so much less mess than the real deal which I have to admit I do like. Will check out more of the digital tomorrow.

That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing this information. I will have to check out the My Memories site.
I've not had an "old-fashioned" scrap book since high school, but the digital version looks like it could be as much fun.
Interesting that I just was talking with someone yesterday about the way my blog has taken on life as a kind of scrapbook. As I said, when I'm too old to remember what I've done in my life, I can read my own blog and see what I was up to!
Fun giveaway!
I like the Holiday Moments pack. I'm a sucker for the holidays :)
I followed My Memories on twitter!
