Young Women in Excellence & Scrapbook Software Giveaway

By 23 Comments

For our ward’s Young Women in Excellence, they are using this recipe/cooking theme from Beehive Messages. They have a really cute invite, but there is not a downloadable version, so my YW President asked if I would come up with something similar for them to use. You know if I am going to design it I am going to share…

It is made to print on 4×6 photo cards. Just add in your ward’s name under “from the kitchen of” and your time and place under “mix it all together on” and you have your Young Women in Excellence invite.

I made it using My Memories Suite v2 scrap book software and Everyday Mom Ideas free Li’l Monster Kit.

Speaking of My Memories Software, it was the first time I had used it. Here’s my take:

What I love:

  • Comes with ready made layouts and shapes to make placing pictures super easy.
  • There are 1500 digital papers and 1300 embellishments like ric rac, stitching, brads, etc.
  • Comes with a myriad of word art and fonts and the text is easy to edit.
  • You can add video and music for slideshows. Can’t wait to try this!
  • You can add a hot spot for a link in your album.
  • Lots of output options: jpg, photo book, ipod ready, dvd, etc.
  • It has spell check.
  • Price is SUPER reasonable especially with the code I will give you 😉

What could they improve:

  • Has a learning curve especially if you are used to Photoshop. Figuring out how to re-size to 4×6 and export to jpeg. Like instead of {file, save as, jpeg} I had to find the export options.
  • It is set up more for scrapbooking than for editing. I there were no eraser tools etc that I use when I want to use one of my existing designs and just erase something.
  • The help function would be nice to be searchable by word. I would love to type in re-size and have it find it for me.
If you are in the market for digiscrap software my friends at My Memories are totally giving you an awesome deal! Use the coupon code: STMMMS97077 and it will not only give you $10 off making it $29.97, but also a $10 code to spend in the MyMemories.com Design Shop!

  6. It was hard to pick a favorite!! I loved the Abbys. I also loved all of the vintage layouts. We have three generations (4 if you count the kiddies) that scrapbook every Wednesday night. We have for nearly ten years!!!! How fun would this be!!!!

  7. I am just discovering digital scrapbooking and learning Photoshop, so I was so overwhelmed with all the amazing kits at My Memories! I am already making a wish list. I think my favorite was the “It Happened This Year” kit. I could see using that for a single album or all sorts of other fun things. I can’t wait to spend more time looking at the site 🙂
