My Memories Suite Review and Giveaway

 I was recently contacted by a fabulous company, My Memories, that wanted to share with me their amazing digital scrapbooking software.  Not being a “scrapbooker” I wasn’t sure how this software would be of use to me.  I was reassured there was a million ways that someone could use scrapbook software…and wow were they right!

From the traditional uses like family scrapbooks and digital scrapbooks, to calendar, VIDEOS!! Christmas cards and invitations..there are hundreds of different ways to use this amazing software.

I was excited to download My Memory Suite and see just how easy it was to navigate. Most of you know by now my son is graduating from high school in just a few short weeks..gulp! I decided to see if I could create a cool and fun Graduation Party Invitation using my scrapbook software.

Here’s what I came up with! What do you think?

My Memories Suite walks you step by step through the process of creating your layout.  They have already designed, easy to use templates in lots of different sizes, or you can create your own custom template, which is what I did.  Once I created my “album page” i.e. invitation I just saved it as a .jpeg file and uploaded it to a photo processor! I had 100 custom photo invitations in one hour for $13.00! How awesome is that?!
Even the basic package comes with TONS of cool graphics, fonts, papers, etc BUT you can buy an endless supply of packages for super cheap off the My Memories website in any theme your heart can imagine!

I’ve already thought of so many other uses using My Memories Suite Software.  I have started the graduation program in it and I have plans to use it for our blog…of  course! Think of all of the amazing buttons, headers and graphics you could create for your blog! They also hold weekly challenges and have a forum for help and to get great ideas!

    You are right it is so hard to just pick ONE. I will say Sunshine Beach. I love the movie theme you did. I want to do a birthday party in that theme and already have so many plans for it. I don’t do much scrapbooking any more but I could use it for so many other projects.

    Thank you for the opportunity Vanessa, Heather and My Memories.

    Quand on prevoit de voyager, le premier des soucis
    est le genre de bagages a emporter.
    Pour un long sejour, discerner les bagages adequats n’est pas une chose aisee.

    Trouver ces bagages ne demande plus trop d’effort ni de depenses parce que les moyens sont deja nombreux.

    La vente en ligne pour bagages pas chers augmente de plus en plus.

    De plus, les choix de qualites sont varies.
    On peut distinguer diverses marques sur ces sites, Samsonite, Tumi, Little Marcel et autres.

    La reduction des prix sont causees par la forte concurrence.

    Les tarifs de ces boutiques en ligne sont exceptionnels et elles font,
    presque tout le temps, des promotions.
    A notre epoque, pour bien organiser un voyage, les gens ont tendance a
    choisir ces boutiques, particulierement ceux qui n’ont pas le
    temps de faire du shopping.

    Pour un sejour, que ce soit long ou court, on peut avoir tout types de bagages dans ces boutiques.

    Par exemple la boutique en ligne Bagage Bagage, Mesbagages et autres qui presentent plusieurs types
    de bagages de toutes dimensions et de differentes marques.

    Bref, chacun a son choix car il y a ceux qui demeurent amoureux du shopping et preferent faire directement les
    magasins.
    Ces boutiques en ligne ont ete instaurees pour une facilite d’achat specialement pour ceux qui
    en ont vraiment besoin.
    Neamoins, il faut mentionner que les clients de ces boutiques en ligne augmentent de plus en plus.

    Antioch residents really should always inquire as to no matter whether the technicians who are employed
    by a company have had existing coaching. There is a broad range of
    plumbing problems that can occur within the home. Clean grease accumulation with a
    solution of boiling water and detergent and pour it down slow-moving drains occasionally.

I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake a I just went to make my mid-morning protein shake and grabbed a banana out of the freezer and was about to put it into my shake before I realized it was a frozen egg roll. Sooooo that's how my day is going so far! 🤪How about you?

It's honestly fairly representative of my state of mind these days as I can't seem to make the date on the calendar match the date in my spirit because it feels like it should be January 45th. Every year this month drags on and every year it seems to surprise me for some reason. In addition, my heart just feels heavy as I witness a lot of darkness and sadness around me. So, I'm choosing to control what I can control by making my house feel as cozy as possible, relishing the sunshine whenever it dares to peek through the clouds, gathering inspiration for warmer weather projects and, most importantly, resting in the comfort of the sovereignty of my Father.

“God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that everyone he has made may know his work..." Job 37:5-7

Chocolate croissants for breakfast followed by church then naps/football/reading/etc and soon we’ll be heading out to dinner with friends. These are my favorite kind of weekends. Hope yours has been lovely too! 🌿
Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshi Yesterday was stormy and cold but today the sunshine is breaking through the fog and my house just seems happier. We definitely needed to see that light streaming in through the windows and it’s a gift I don’t take for granted.

And yes, there are still twinkle lights on my mantle because those help when the sunshine goes away again. ✨
Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here i Happy weekend! The rainy and gloomy weather here in the Willamette Valley has me feeling less frustrated about my migraine forcing me to just snuggle up indoors and these flowers in my kitchen are lifting my spirits. What are you up to on this holiday weekend?
It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offe It’s time for TIP TUESDAY! This week, I’m offering a gentle reminder from my own parenting experience after feeling my heart pricked with conviction about what was waiting for my daughter every day after school. I hope it will encourage you! 🌿#tiptuesday
The day after Christmas I found myself laundering The day after Christmas I found myself laundering and folding all of the linens we used the previous night as we hosted my husband's side of the family for dinner and other festivities. As I laid out each cloth napkin and folded them one by one, I couldn't help but be struck by what a simple, yet meaningful, task it was. It's such an honor and privilege to be the hostess and, at this stage of my life, I realize that this has almost one hundred percent become my role now. Our parents are in their 70's and have either downsized significantly or simply don't have the energy to take on hosting duties for a large group. I could resent this. I could feel overwhelmed by it. But, instead, I'm choosing to embrace it knowing that, someday, I too will pass the hosting torch and I hope that I will be welcomed with love and attentiveness. So, I fold the linen napkins, taking pleasure in the way all of the creases line up and how neat and tidy they look in the drawer of my dining room buffet. These seemingly simple chores are part of the lifeblood of homemaking and my attitude towards them can either be one of gratefulness or grumbly-ness (yes, I'm making up words now). 

And I’m choosing gratefulness. 

“This job has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot⁣)
Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kic Welcome to Tip Tuesday! I’m so excited to be kicking off the year with a brand new series! Each weekly installment will feature a tip for everything from your home to faith to parenting to family life and so much more. My goal for 2023 is to have far more personal interaction with this community while continuing on with the mission of weaving together all things heart and home. I hope you enjoy this first tip and I’d love to hear from you about whether or not you decorate for winter!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. H “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favor Oh how I love this week each year! It’s my favorite for sure. Everything is still festive and decorated but there’s none of the stress of the cooking and wrapping and making preparations. It’s the week where we get to take everything slowly and simply enjoy being together while the house still has twinkling lights and we can just be cozy.

What about you? How will you be spending this week? ✨
