My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software Review and Giveaway

UPDATE: This giveaway has ended.  A winner will be chosen soon.  Please feel free to enter any of the other giveaways listed on the left sidebar.

I am not that much of a scrapbooking kind of person. I still have photos (you know, the kind that you took with a film camera and got developed) from several years ago that haven't made it into albums. And now that our photography has gone completely digital, I have lots and lots and lots of pictures on my computer, which just sit there, doing nothing.

But I recently discovered My Memories digital scrapbooking software - and now things may change for me!

MyMemories Suite v3 software is a complete digital scrapbooking solution that provides a comprehensive powerful set of creative tools no other scrapbook software can offer. With its intuitive workspace and enhanced time-saving features, this application is perfect for a beginner to create a complete album in minutes, or to empower the design pro to build a scrapbook album masterpiece.

I knew nothing when I started, but I easily was able to make a sample page for myself.  I used some photos from my Frugal Recipes list.  The scrapbooking software has premade templates for you to use, but I decided to try making my own.  After choosing an album orientation (portrait, landscape, or square) and from one of four sizes, I started creating my album pages.

I was quite pleasantly surprised about all the options available with the software. I thought that I would get just a few options built in. Instead, the software contains over 1,500 papers, over 1,000 page elements, and over 30 album templates.  There were so many options of background papers, text styles, shapes, and embellishments, it was hard to decide which one I wanted!

The software was really easy to use, and it made for a much better product than I could ever create by hand. Here's my sample scrapbook page:

It was a lot of fun to make this scrapbook page!  Even my six-year-old helped, suggesting where I should put the photos and how I should turn them.  This would be a great activity for yourself as well as the whole family (well, as many as can crowd around the computer).

There are so many features to the software that I didn't even have the chance to explore.  One that intrigues me is that you can include video, audio, and other multimedia to your scrapbook.  That would be really cool to have a scrapbook that includes some video!  Let's see a print scrapbook do that!

But if you'd rather end with a printed scrapbook, you can print pages at home, have a scrapbook professionally printed, or add your pictures to a calendar.

Or would you rather get the software for free?  (I love free stuff!)
