    Cute Card Freebie

    My Memories has become my favorite software out of all the ones I have used. So many things that you can do with My Memories Software, this week freebie is a flower card template. 


    Flower Card Tutorial
    Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Flower Card

    1. Download template file and install it into your software
    2. Using MyMemories Suite, choose Create Album From Designer Template and find your project
    3. Now you can print and enjoy the provided template, or customize it with your own papers and embellishments.

    TIP:
    You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.

    Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around.  This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.

    Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it.

    Timeless Love

    I really love this photo of my Grandparents. My Grandparents were divorced and as a young girl I would sneak into a little white trunk she had tucked under her bed with all her wedding photos. Never did she have any old photos of her and Grandpa out for view. At my last visit with my Aunt, we came across this photo of a very young Grandma with Grandpa. This was clearly before they had married in 1947, so they must of been courting at the time. Grandpa was a Marine during WII and quite the wild fly boy as we have gathered from earlier photos of him.

    I have used another layout kit from the Chocolate Valentine kit that Missy Bits Created. You can get her kit through her MyMemories store Missy Bits Designs.  Don’t forget to use Discount code STMMMS36408 for your $10.00 savings on the software and $10.00 off your digi scraps.

    My Memories Tutorial

    Making a digital scrapbooking page can be a lot of fun! The options are limitless when using digital scrapbooking. Here is this weeks new freebie, and a tutorial on one I made earlier today.

    MyMemories Suite is a great gift for someone who enjoys scrapbooking or someone that needs an introduction to the fun world of digital scrapbooking. Don’t forget to use Discount code STMMMS36408 for your $10.00 savings on the software and $10.00 off your digi scraps.

     

    1. Open My Memories Suite. From the New Album Options Window, click on design your own. I choose Square 12*12 inch.

    2. Enter your album title, chose the album location and choose your preferred shape, then click on ok.

     

    3. Select blank page and click on Ok. On the Right under Background Papers click Purchased, this will hold freebies and purchased papers. Quick pages will be under Elements.

    5. Choose Custom from the expanded list and browse to the welcome (or other) kit on your hard drive. I choose Christmas Lace for this page.

    6. Click on the drop down arrow next to photos in the control panel, and click on Add Photo.

    7. Browse to your first photo, select and click on Ok. The photo covered part of the elements, so I selected the Element button and found the matching ornament element.

    8. To keep your photos looking realistic on a page you can add a drop shadow by clicking on the drop shadow button. You can adjust settings according to taste. All Digital Scrapbook Place Elements however already have their own shadows.

    9.To Add Text to your layout, click on the drop down arrow next to Text in the control panel and click on Add Text. You can use the settings in the Text Control panel to adjust your fonts and font styles as required.

     

    10. Click on the Share Album button, select export pages, save and finish. You can now open your finished work in your photo file.

    Here is my finished photo page.

    More Preserving Old Memories

    As I work through my large file of old photos fixing all the scratches and tears digitally I am also making a digital scrapbook. This book I will be able to print, make a movie DVD, or online video for sharing. The amount of options is limitless and I enjoy making these for my family. Adding old letters, original photos before editing, photos after they have been fixed and a lovely memory book that can be shared with every family member.

    This one of my Great Great Aunt Lovella and Uncle Earl Moore is just stunning. She had her mother’s blue eyes and married Uncle Earl when she was 16, they eventually had two wonderful children and lived a long happy life together. The top was bent and smudged quite a bit.

    After using Photoscape, and cloning the damage to the photo, I got this as the final result.

     

    And tonight I created a page dedicated completely for them, using MyMemories.com
