10% off Digital Scrapbook Software Using MyMemories Suite

Arts and craft is one of my favorite past times. I love making handmade cards and scrapbook pages. I also create digital scrapbook pages once in a while and I use MyMemories Suite software to create the perfect memory!

Here is a sample page I made recently using MyMemories Suite:

The software is very easy to use and not as complicated as Photoshop or other photo editing programs. I am not very familiar with Photoshop so doing my layouts before was so time-consuming because I kept researching for helpful tips and tricks.

MyMemories Suite is very user-friendly digital scrapbooking software . The interface is simple and to the point. The buttons have names of what they correspond to like photos, Word Art designer, background papers, embellishments, shapes and many more. I don't have to worry about layering because you can right click an image or embellishment or even text and choose send backward, bring forward, send to back, and bring to front. Not only that, you can bring your digital scrapbook page to life with audio narrations, videos and even music. I think those are very easy to follow procedures and great features which do not require elaborate explanation. I just don't want to use difficult softwares so I am sticking to MyMemories Suite.

The simplicity and easiness of this software gives scrappers more time to play around with their projects and actually finish not just one scrap page but more! I did the page I posted here for a maximum of 5 minutes unlike the other projects I did in other softwares. With all the ease of use features of this digital scrapbooking software, I don't think I'll be looking somewhere else for another software to use. MyMemories Suite is a sweet success in the digital scrapbooking world!

Organizing my Stash

I have so many scrapbook stash which are all placed in plastic containers. I do not have any studio for my arts and craft so I keep all the stash on a cupboard. However, each time I try to look for something, I cannot locate it because I have not organized my embellishments and other craft supplies properly due to lack of space.

I have been asking my hubby to allocate a corner of the flat for my arts and craft session but it is not possible to drill holes at home to put the divider so I have to settle with doing my craft on my study area.

I am off to Ikea to buy wooden drawers to keep my smaller embellishments so they are not everywhere. I just want my area tidy-up and in order. I can't crank my creative juice looking at my table which is a mess right now.

Where To Get More Stuff?

My momentum is on over-drive regarding my handmade cards craft. I was just thinking a while go where to get more stuff to create more cards. I don't know if I will make a profit or not but I love to be able to support this hobby and passion in some means possible.

Dubai is not really a haven for scrapbookers and crafters like me. There are only 2 shops here which sell embellishments, patterned papers, glues and other tools needed for the craft. The other stationery stores carry office supplies only. I am so tempted to buy online. The dilemma!

Digiscrappin'

I have yet to learn the rudiments of digital scrapping let alone learn how to use Adobe Photoshop CS intensively so I can start creating fabulous scrap pages for my photos.
