My Memories Suite Review

I was given the opportunity to receive this software and review it for a very special giveaway! To be in with a chance of winning this software plus to be given an exclusive discount code please click here!

My Memories Suite is a software aimed at creating crafts on your computer/laptop with ease. You can find on it a variety of different backgrounds, layouts, embellishments, photo and text effects and more! This software is the number 1 software on Amazon and can be used to create scrapbooks, cards, awards, calenders, business cards, posters and much more - the options are endless!

First of all I was a bit wary, wasn't the whole point of scrapbooking getting your hands dirty and doing things yourself? Wouldn't using this software make it a lot less personal? No. It turns out that this software actually makes scrapbooking and other similar crafty things a lot easier. It's a very simple to use software, you have the endless option of different backgrounds, text, embellishments etc and its so easy to arrange your pages and your photos. What stood out to me was the variety of different layouts ; they all had specific areas for photos so it was so easy to simply drag and drop your photo onto the page without having to mix and move around pictures to see how they would fit best. The reason why I think using this software is just as personal as using your hands is that it's so much more creative. You can simply add a background and your photos and print it out like that - then go on to add your own buttons, embellishments, ribbons and much more therefore making it creative and more dimensional. You could also go all out and simply use all the additional add ons making the whole page a lot neater and cleaner looking. 

You can also use the software for a lot more than scrapbooking. You can personalize your own cards, you can make banners, business cards..the options really are endless! And as well as the fact that the team are offering you the chance to WIN this software, you will also find that you can download additional layouts, backgrounds, embellishments etc from their website to use with this software. Much of this is free with different things becoming free for a limited time only but we have also been provided with a $10 off code to spend on the store! With a lot of downloads costing less then $10 anyway, you can essentially get additional add ons for almost next to nothing! The site is extremely easy to use, if you already have the software or happen to win this giveaway then you will find that to purchase these items you will be given a download link for them immediately. This means no waiting around for items to arrive in the post - it's all digital! Also, the website also has its own blog where you can find inspiration and tutorials for using the software.

Here are some examples of things I made when using the software -

This is going to be the first page of a bunch of pages about my three years at university! Please excuse the crazy grin in the bottom right hand corner!

I'm all excited for Christmas already! This was used using a FREE software download on the website here and the Christmas tree stamp was taken from here! 

Please bear in mind that although I love scrapbooking, I'm still not very creative! These are just some (not very good) examples of what I have made in the few days since I've had the software. I'd suggest checking out their blog here instead for some better examples!
