My Memories accounts are always free. Each week I will post a new freebie and instruction how to put these together.

Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Cupcake Liners
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.
Cupcake Liner Tutorial
1. Purchase or Bake and Cool Cupcakes. If cupcakes are frosted, place in refrigerator and chill cupcakes before putting liners on. It is easier to put liners on if the frosting is cold.
2. Print your Cupcake liner templates on cardstock and gather supplies. Each printed page will have enough supplies for 2 cupakes. (Recommended supplies: small craft scissors, tape, foam squares, 1.25″ circle punch, toothpicks and ribbon)
3. Using the scissors cut along outside line.
TIP: Use a 1.25″ circle punch to cut out the toppers. If printed at full size, the circles should be exactly the same size.
4. Wrap liner around cupcake and tape at seam.
TIP: If using a smaller cupcake, just wrap around at the desired height. You can place a smaller cupcake at the bottom of the liner or make it tighter and wrap it around at the top.
5. Using foam squares or tape, attach the front and back circles together to form the topper. Insert toothpick between the circles.
6. Add ribbon onto the toothpick or at the bottom of the front circle, if desired.
7. Insert toothpick into cupcake. Enjoy the finished cupcakes and share. Don’t forget to use your imagination. The possibilites are endless!
It has been awhile since my last post on My Memories Freebies. This week My Memories released the Share Card
Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Purse Cards
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.
Purse Card Tutorial
1. Print your Purse Card templates on cardstock and gather supplies. (Recommended supplies: small craft scissors, bone folder, 8-12″ of ribbon, stapler, tape or velcro)
TIP: To print your information on the inside create another page with the template in place. Put all your text and embellishments in (leaving a little room on the edges) and then remove the template right before exporting or printing the inside page on the back of the first. This will keep from having to worry about if the templates line up exactly when cutting out your card.
2. Using the scissors cut along outside line.
3. Fold card at indentations.
TIP: Using a bone folder will help you get crisp edges on your project.
4. Repeat by folding down top flap.
5. Staple ribbon to both sides of your card on the inside to look like a strap or handle.
6. Enjoy the finished cards and share. Don’t forget to use your imagination. The possibilites are endless!

Using MyMemories Software to Customize your Doorknob Hanger
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.
Doorknob Hanger Tutorial
1. Print your doorknob templates on cardstock and gather supplies. (Recommended supplies: bone folder, craft knife, cutting mat, metal edged ruler, small scissors, tape runner)
2. Using the craft knife and metal edged ruler cut along outside line.
TIP: a paper cutter could be used as an alternative
3. Repeat on all four sides.
4. Using a bone folder, fold the doorknob hanger in half.
5. Apply a liberal amount of the glue of your choice and glue sides together.
TIP: A tape runner works better than a glue stick!
6. Using small scissors, cut out the white center circle.
7. Hang on a door and Enjoy!!
TIP: To make your doorknob hanger last longer, it is best to laminate your project. Clear contact paper makes great Do-It-Yourself lamination.
When working with digital scrapbooking the opportunities are limitless. All the images can be rearranged and printed into any craft you want to create. Tonight I am going to share how to make a bookmark using the freebie design from My Memories this week.
STEPS: Open MyMemories Suite software and choose your album size (I chose 8.5 x 11 for a printable project). Add the papers and elements you wish to use to create your own printable project (I made these Bookmarks), and when you are finished, click: SHARE ALBUM ====> EXPORT PAGES and save as a .jpg! The new .jpg papers you created are now usable as stand alone printable projects to use and reuse anytime! The Freebies enclosed are just samples of the printable projects you can make! Just print, cut and use!
I used hard card stock to print out the bookmarks. I cut the bookmarks out using a paper cutter and cleaning up the edges using scissors. Using a hole puncher I was able to get place the hole needed for the ribbon.
I just added a little ribbon fringe, and voila!! What better little “extra” goodie when giving a book? These are perfect gift.
The ink in my computer is low, here is another photo of one created by the my memories team.
These designs are available through My Memories.com and you get a $10 Discount on MyMemories v3 software using our promo code STMMMS36408. And this Saturday is the last day to also receive the RAKStar promo , with each purchase of My Memories Software.
Create smaller projects or add elements to a larger layout! These are 4″ x 6″ Photocards. You can use them to create photos for printing, create postcards, or add to a larger layout and use as a photo mat.
