Valentine's Day Cards

As many of you know I have developed an obsession with pretty paper and card making.

Here are some of the Valentine's day cards that I've made recently. Hope you like :-)

Apple Blogging Apps

I'm trying to decide if I like the Blogger app or the Blog Press app. Both are free and give you the ability to blog on the go. Both give you the ability to add photos and tags to your posts.

Blog Press gives you the ability to post your article to Facebook and Twitter after you publish it. Meanwhile the Blogger App only gives you the option to post your article to Google+. For my purposes it seems like the Blog Press app is better but it would be useful to have both on your iPod or iPhone.

MyMemories Holiday Card

Hello everyone,
I am so excited to share with you all the card that I made using the MyMemories Scrapbooking Software. I was able to find tons of free downloads on the MyMemories site.
Here is the card that I ended up sending out to my friends and family for Christmas.

I just LOVE this bundle!!! it is my favorite combination of baroque and kawaii...so cute!!!
Once I was finished with the layout I saved the "album" and then exported the image to my photos. I then used the Ink app which is affiliated with Sincerely and can be found in the iTunes App Store. I simply uploaded my image to Ink and selected my recipients and submitted my order. Bam! Done. The printing and mailing is taken care of.
Now I want to reward you - This is the best part!

As a special for all of my readers, I give you a $10 discount off the purchase of the My Memories Suite Scrapbook software and a $10 coupon for the MyMemories.com store - $20 value!)
Just go to: https://www.mymemories.com/software

MyMemories Digital Scrapbooking Review

Hello dear readers,
I have recently been introduced to a really fun program for creating digital scrapbook layouts, cards, and more!

Here is a brief video tutorial on how to use the MyMemories Suite digital scrapbook software:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2Jt9OndVW8&feature=plcp

And recently they came out with a new version.  Learn more about it by clicking on this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKbqoNNigHs&feature=plcp 
 
It was very easy to purchase, download and install the software.  After I downloaded the program I went online to browse through their scrapbooking kits.  They have a HUGE selection to choose from with prices ranging from FREE to $0.69 and then all the way up to just over $11.00.

My favorite kit (without browsing through the hundreds of pages) is the Leaf Diving kit

I just loved the little squirrel, scarecrow and owl!

After watching the YouTube tutorial I got started with my first project.  I used the stock backgrounds and embellishments for my project and this project literally took me 15 minutes to design.  Easy!

Here is my first attempt at a layout

It is a very simple design I am pretty pleased with how it came out considering it only took me a few minutes to put together.

Then when I had more time I spruced it up a bit by adding some leaves and matching the color of the text

 I look forward to playing around more with my new scrapbooking program!
 
Now it is time to get you all involved in the fun!
I am giving one of my lucky readers a FREE download of the MyMemories Suite software.
