Win 'My Memories Suite' Digital Scrapbooking Software

I was always on the fence about digital scrapbooking. Why? Because I have spent so.much.money on all my paper scrapbooking supplies to give them up just like that. But that was before I actually got to try digital scrapbooking for myself. 

I was given the chance to get my own copy of My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software to try out and bonus - you guys get the chance to win it as well! It's really simple to use, although it takes a few minutes to figure out what you're doing if you've never tried digital scrapbooking before. 

But I'm enjoying it. All the pages I've made so far took 10 minutes tops, and there are just so many options to choose from for backgrounds, embellishments and such. On top of that, there are also some free digital kits you can download from the MyMemories website and some you can buy that range from $0.99 to $5.99. I already took advantage of a couple of the free kits. 

For those of you who aren't as into scrapbooking, the program can have other creative uses too (like cards, invitations, announcements). I used it to quickly whip up a little Etsy announcement. 

And a baby announcement of sorts:

So if you want to win your own copy of My Memories Suite, this is all you need to do:

Go to the My Memories website and tell me which scrapbooking kit you like the best.

Giveaway winner announced!

That giveaway I ended a few days ago? I think it's about time I announce the winner.

I used a random number generator to pick the winner. There were 14 entries, 10 of which were eligible entries (the other four guessed I was having a boy). The first two numbers that came up were for people who weren't eligble, but the 3rd time around I had a winner.

So the winner is Caro.

Since I never decided on a prize, please email me (thebestdays@live.ca) and we can try to figure something out a little more suited to you, instead of me picking something randomly.

Thanks to everyone else who entered : )

Blog Makeover Giveaway!

I am one of those awful people who actually do judge a book by its cover. Which also makes me one of those people who judge a blog by it's layout. I'm not saying I wouldn't follow a blog because I didn't like it's look, but I have read a blog before because I loved its whole look. I guess I'm just a visual person. I like colorful, organized things.

With that being said, I wouldn't say no to a blog makeover. I definitely wouldn't turn down winning one. What about you?

Here's the deal:

Just hop on over to The Ramblings of a Disgruntled Secretary to get the details and enter yourself. To get an idea of how awesome your blog could be, Designs By Amber is who would doing the creating. It's super easy to enter, and there are a lot of opportunities for more entries.

The contest ends March 31st so hurry!
