My Memories Suite and Giveaway

I was recently asked by Liz at MyMemories.com and was asked to review My Memories Suite V2 Digital Scrapbooking Software.   Over the years I have done a number of scrapbooking projects - both on paper and digirally.  I have hundreds of pages that I'd love to have scrapbooked, but I just haven't gotten there yet.  As a busy mom of 3 kids, I'm sure you understand... 

This software was easy to install and didn't take me long to get started designing a few pages.  I haven't had much time to scrapbook as the kids just started back to school and all our activities are just starting up which means changing schedules, etc.  But I have managed to do a number of pages, and this digital scrapbook software has a number of really wonderful features.

I love My Memories Suite V2 Digital Scrapbooking Software that allows you to scrapbook many photos quickly into a book of pages.  The Fast Fill feature with some premade templates would be a fast way to create many pages.  BUT not only can you make pages automatically, you can also create your own pages.  There are a number of free templates available for download as well as many others available at very reasonable prices.

I had been wanting to get some photos ready from the summer... My daughter took to picking fruit trees this summer by climbing the tree... just like my great-uncle used to do.  These layouts were created using the FastFill  and the Funky Fall Template that is included with MyMemories Suite.

My apple pickers!

Climbing trees

More tree climbing and fruit!

Pocket Tutorials

I just stumbled upon a wonderful blog, with a series of excellent pocket tutorials.

 

Currently she`s having a giveaway to win this wonderful quilt.  It looks really interesting with a button off backing so you can see how the pockets are constructed.

An amazing win!

Mandy over at Simply Solids recently had a contest for an AccuQuilt Go!  And I`m so excited as she announced today that I`m the AccuQuilt Winner!   How exciting!  I can hardly wait until it arrives...

As for sewing today, have done some more of the quilt binding, and am now off to work on the Moose Quilts quilt block for the layer cake along.

Won a contest (or two)

After entering many contests and rarely winning anything, I've won a few things recently...

Recently my name has been drawn for a few prizes... I have received some embroidery designs from Bertina Studio Birthday Bash Winners and received some beautiful designs from Bertina Studios. I can't wait to try them out....

And a while ago I won a book from
Material Mama blog giveaway. It looks interesting and I'm waiting for it to arrive.

And this week I won a contest over at I Heart that Dance Blog. Their Celtic stuff is amazing... now I need to choose my prizes... decisions, decisions... their stuff is all beautiful!

Thanks to all those who put on these contests... Once I get organized, I will probably run a few myself... unfortunately right now I am so busy with school, kids, dance, etc that sewing is falling behind... and so is blogging (and so therefore contests aren't in the picture right now) Hopefully I can be organized to run a giveaway for the next Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

May Giveaway Day

Amy at embroidery-methods.com had an embroidery poetry contest for Sew, Mama, Sew! May Giveaway Day 2010?

May Giveaway Day celebrates handmade items and the supplies used to make them. the website.

My kids and I entered this poem....


Thanks Amy for giving all of us prizes!

Thank you Ottobre

A big thank you to Ottobre Designs for hosting a hat sewing contest and sent all of us who entered either a prize package or a back issue. My back issue arrived yesterday, and there are a number of items in it that I like.... too bad most will have to wait until fall as I received 4/2002 in some unknown language (with translations into another unknown language). Too bad they weren't French translations, they are about the only language that I'd be able to muddle through.

Thanks again to Ottobre Design!

Hat sewing

Ottobre posted the results from their Hat Contest.... Congrats to all the winners... and thanks to Ottobre for the prizes for all who entered! I'm eagerly awaiting my free magazine.


And here is my hat posted at Craft Stylish in their Accessory Contests.
