This was a really fun review! I was asked to try out the MyMemories Suite digital scrapbook software and I jumped at the chance because I love to play around with all things artsy. I am a huge lover of scrapbooking and I must own at least 1000 stickers and papers by now, they are so easy to collect over time but they do cost a small fortune to get enough to actually have fun with. Digital scrapbooking is way easier on the pocketbook, that is a plus for sure!
The software was so simple. I just registered for an account, logged in and “purchased” my software. Once it was purchased I downloaded it to my computer, it is in the “my downloads” section after you buy it. Installation was easy, I just clicked as it prompted me to. After that was done I went back and picked out some kits to buy with a credit I had received for getting the software! I picked out several kits including some that were completely free. Once everything was purchased I went to “my downloads” and downloaded all the files. My only gripe is that it would be nice to have a button to click so that the items I already downloaded can disappear. I got confused and downloaded a couple things twice which wasted time.
So once everything was on my computer I then restarted it and opened up the MyMemories Suite software. I immediately picked out a template and got started. It was easy peasy figuring out how to manipulate the embellishments and papers. I had a fun time and what was going to be just 10 minutes of me messing around quickly turned into an hour hehe, I had gotten lost in it! This is fun and could be a new addiction. It makes me happy to think that I will no longer have to fool around with those sticky glue dots, clean up a big mess from cutting paper or have to buy more stickers. I only did scrapbook pages but there really is so much more you can make!
Here are a couple pages I finished in about 15 minutes!
