They Love Each Other

-

So today I have a simple layout I put together digitally using a product I am trialing. The program I used is called My Memories Suite.

I have used other digital products before so this wasn't anything new to me. That said I still think the simplicity of this program would be easy to use no matter what your experience level. I didn't bother reading any of the instructions I just jumped straight into using it.

With the program you get a range of free papers and embellishments which means you can start working on a layout straight away. The thing I like was the papers and embellishments were easy to mix and match. Plus you can pick a textured paper and then change it's colour to any colour you like using the eye dropper facility.

There are also alot of pre designed pages for you to use if you aren't sure how to design one for yourself digitally all you do is add your photos.

The difference with this program when adding papers to your layout is to do them as "ad shapes"  which for me was a little different to other programs I've used before but still really simple and easy to navigate. 

What's not to like?  Well the download time for me was really long (an hour), but that could have more to do with how fast broadband is here in Australia than anything else. And I did have some trouble initially resizing my images but got the hang of this really quickly.  All in all I found this a really easy program to use and as you can see from my above layout you can still create some really nice pages with just the free papers and embellishments you get with the program.

So what's my final word?  I love it! Easy, Quick and really affordable at $39.99 with no other spend needed to get started. You can also use the program to do other publishing types of projects like printing your own calendar or cards or anything else you can imagine.

As I found this program easy to use, simple and good value for money I'm going to ad a link to my sidebar on where you can buy it..... plus cause you know I'm all about how to save on your scrapbooking.... if you use the coupon code provided you'll get $10 off the price!

Hope you enjoy using it and I'll put up more examples of my work as I get to play with it more and more.

Cardstock only Layouts

-

After looking at the cost of a layout I'm going to challenge myself to do some cardstock only layouts (not for my wedding though). Do you think you could manage it? Well I'm not sure but I'm gonna give it a go. But it does get a little ridiculous the costs, con't you think? So I'm going to challenge myself to do a layout using cardstock and patterned paper only! Of course not having a cricuit or sizzix or anything this will mean hand cutting my title....... painstaking... BUT I think it'll be a challenge artistically too. These layouts were done by Deb of Toowoomba and you can see how she's used her paper and cardstock to acentuate her photo's theme.... I especially love the dolphin! When I went to a scrapbook evening recently one of the ladies did a fabulous layout using paper piecing. She made Dora the Explorer layous and her 'dora' was fantastic. I don't think I have that much patience but punching and tearing are right up my alley. Bu...

Coffee Mugs are Finished

Here are the digi scrapped coffee mugs I told you about a few posts back. They're back from the "printer". These were really easy to do. I first created my document that I was digi scrapping and I made the size of the document 4" x 6'" (a standard photo). I then decorated that page using my digital scrapbooking papers and embellishments and finally added the photos. I then went to my local photo lab and uploaded these images to their software and chose to have them printed on mugs. (I chose the stretch option which stretches the image around the mug. So then I had to resize the image to get all my decorations on the mug). And here they are! It only took them a week to print them! So if you're thinking of doing this for a christmas present I think you may just get it back in time...... but check with your photo lab to make sure they could get it back to you before Christmas. I'm happy with the result..... hope the recipients will be too?

Digiscrap a PhotoBook when on special!

-
Image
Have you ever wondered what to do with all that beautiful digitally scrapbooked work? Well you could print a photo book. I save all my pages up and then when there's a special on (Like the recent $9.95 for a 19 page book at Big W) I go in and get them printed. This way I have a hard copy of my work to show people and I get the pages printed very cheaply... that's around 52 cents per page. Just remember though the specials are more commonly done for the smaller books 8 x 8 etc. So when doing your layouts keep that in mind.
