Cyber Monday - Digital Scrapbooking Giveaway

I occasionally get requests to do sponsored giveaways. I've always said no - until now. Why did I agree to this one?

Simply put, the product interested me: digital scrapbooking software. I've loved scrapbooking since I was a teenager but this was my first try at the digital type.

My Memories offered to let me try their software and (here's the part where you come in) give away another copy of the software to one of my readers. Hooray! They're also giving my readers a $10 off coupon code. (I love a good coupon code...)

Now, I haven't had as much time as I would like lately for traditional scrapbooking but this digital stuff is easy to do. You can sit down and make a page in as little or as much time as you have. You can save your progress. You can walk away from it and make supper - without having to clear all your supplies off the kitchen table. (Not that I've had to do that often or anything. Ahem.)

I've been enjoying the Holiday Simplicity album. The color scheme (reds, blacks, and greys) just goes perfectly with our 2010 Christmas pictures. 

Will this replace my love for traditional scrapbooking? No.
Is this a fun and easy new way to scratch that crafty itch? Yes.

(Want to know a secret? Philip even gave this a try. And he liked it. His page is amazing but I don't think I'm allowed to show you. Maybe someday.)

This is not exclusively photo editing software, but it does have some editing capabilities.
You do not have to have the software from MyMemories to use their scrapbooking kits. I suggest turning your willpower on High because some of those kits are seriously cute.

You can find the My Memories YouTube channel here, if you need some help getting started. I can tell you from my experience with MyMemories that they're great to work with.

So, how about the giveaway? Here's what you need to do:

• 1. Mandatory first entry: visit MyMemories and window shop all their amazing products. Leave a comment here and tell me your favorite paper pack or layout.

You can get extra entries these ways (leave a comment for each extra entry):

• 2. Follow the MyMemories Blog 
• 3. Become a Fan of MyMemories on Facebook 
• 4. Follow MyMemories on Twitter

This giveaway will run until Sunday night (12/4) and the winner (chosen randomly) will be announced next Monday (12/5). This is my first "real" giveaway so thanks in advance for bearing with me. I've been excited about the chance to share this with you and I hope you'll forgive this diversion from our Usual Blogging Business.

Disclosures: I was given a copy of this software free to try. I will earn a commission on any sales made using my unique coupon code (found in my sidebar).
