My Memories Suite Giveaway!

Folks,  oh boy do I have a WONDERFUL surprise that I am about to share with you!

Recently, I was asked by My Memories to review the newest version of their digital scrapbooking software,
My Memories Suite Verson 3, and I've got to say, friends, it's pretty darn amazing!

As a professional photographer and a creator/designer of custom high resolution photo cards, I use my Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom programs to do most of my editing and post-production. But, I've got to say that the technology offered by
My Memories has many wonderful, convenient, and easy to use advantages. I've noticed that in using this software I am able to not only customize my very own digital scrapbooking albums from loads of design options, but I can also create blog buttons, printables, headers, and more in just a matter of minutes! 

If you know me well, you know that I LOVE to scrapbook, particularly the old fashioned way. (You can visit a past post on preserving memories through the art of scrapbooking here.) But what's really nice about using My Memories digital scrapbooking software is the ability to create memorable gorgeous pieces of art without all the mess!

Take this A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. page I created to remember my daughter's sweet first birthday party. 

Precious, wouldn't you agree?!

{Click here to read all about this very special event!}

I couldn't just stop there! While exploring the vast capabilities of this very same software I then also decided to create a
blog-a-versary button that I plan to showcase this December. Let me share with you now the step-by-step approach for just how I was easily able to do so.

First, open the software and select a new album. I chose square in this case to make my button.
I changed the units to pixels, and customized it to 200x200.

I then had fun selecting from various background options. There are extra digital kits on the website that have embellishments, papers, word art, etc in loads of colors and themes that are also available for purchase.

After I made my background choice, I then added and centered a couple rectangles and a fun flower to add a little character.

Lastly, I added my custom text.

And Viola!

And check this out... I made a lovely header too! Pretty snazzy, huh?!
I just picked Landscape for my album type, specified the pixels, and had a blast designing.
(Header is 3000x1000 when full size).

There are many more amazing creative ways to use this fabulous software, and I just know you would LOVE to try it yourselves! That is why I am sooo very excited to announce that My Memories has offered to giveaway a
My Memories Suite Version 3 {a $39.97 value} to one of my very lucky followers!

There are many ways to enter this giveaway! The Rafflecopter below with guide you through the entire process.

And, even if you don't win or if you just can't wait to get your hands on it now, there's more!

Starbucks Gift Card Giveaway {$30 Value!!!}

Hello there, all my lovely blogger friends and fellow readers!! I am in a very giving mood today, perhaps it is because today is my FOUR year anniversary {to my husband!} or perhaps it's because the weather is reaching temps near the 80s (very high for this time of year where I live in the mountains of WV) or maybe it's just because I want to continually express from time to time how thankful I am to have each of you as my avid faithful followers!!

That is why I {in addition to a few of my fellow blogger / etsy shop buddies (more on them in a moment)} am offering you a chance to win a $30 Starbucks Gift Card! When deciding what I would put up for grabs at this giveaway, I had several ideas in mind but always came back to the very item you see below. I mean, and I'm sure you'll all agree, who doesn't enjoy a good cup o' joe from your local Starbucks every now and again. And for those of you who just aren't into coffee that much, well, they have plenty of other delectable items that I'm sure your palate will certainly enjoy, from muffins to cakes... even a nice warm cup of hot tea, if that suits you. Yes, I'd say this is quite a treat! And I'm happy to have one of you win it!

Before you start clicking away at your chance to win, let me take a moment to share a little bit about my lovely fellow contributors:

1. Sewplicity is a fun mommy/crafty/photography blog where you will find life-inspired tutorials, pattern and tutorial reviews, sewing tips along with ramblings about her life and family. It's a very fun place to hang out!
2. Mama Meg's Yarn Shoppe is just the cutest little crafty crochet shop on the planet! I've even used her work for my photography shoots. You'll want to check her out!
3. Frazzled Five is a super fun blog written by an amazing mommy of five! Stop by her blog to be biblically inspired and to read all about her fun loves for life!

Good luck to you all! And did I mention just how awesome you all are, because guess what, you really really are!

(Oh, and I'm not actually entered in the giveaway if you happen to notice my name on the entry list... Confession, this is my first time using Rafflecopter, so I had to check it out and make sure my settings were correct. hehe!)

NOTE: This giveaway ends Thursday, May 10, at midnight (EST), so don't forget to check back then to see if you are a winner. The winner has 48 hours to contact me {thephotomommy@gmail.com} with their information (i.e. name and address to where they would like the gift card to be mailed). If I don't hear from the winner by the end of the 48 hours, the gift card will go to the runner-up.
