My Memories: "Bucket List" Challenge

It's SO nice to be scrapbooking again! I'm kind of struggling to get the creative juices flowing again though. This layout took me almost 6 hours to put together because I didn't like the way it was coming together. I'm looking forward to Sunday nights Speed Scrap to help give me some focus. This is my entry for this weeks Wednesday weekly Challenge over at MyMemories Blog.

Happy Birthday to Me!

     Yikes! It was my 31st birthday yesterday. I had planned on having a party with family but I was a little out of the party mood with the news of my grandmother. All day home alone with a few updates from family of the condition of my grandmother I really needed a distraction. When my honey got home we decided to get dressed up and see where we could find to celebrate my birthday. After all people travel from all over to celebrate their birthdays here and I should be enjoying Las Vegas for the time that we're living here.
     We got dolled up and headed to the strip to check out the deals at Half Price Tickets for the night. I have always wanted to see Tony N' Tina's Wedding dinner show but I did my research with Yelp.com before heading out. Their reviews were not so hot but I came across Marriage can be Murder and they had 4.5 stars. So I was very excited to see that VIP tickets were $53 at the Half Price Tickets!
     Oh man the show was GREAT!! We were called on and picked on through out the whole show SO much that we were voted as possible murder suspects. It was just the greatest experience that I can hardly wait to go again in 3 months when they change the plot and the actors.
     To end the night we walked around Freemont St and checked out all the fun performers. I met up with 2 Johnny Depp impersonators; One was The Mad Hatter and Jack Sparrow and the accent was so great with the Jack Sparrow impersonator that I had to get a photo to remember him.

My Memories: Rememberance Challenge

     My Memories is the new digital scrapbooking software that I've become addicted to. Every Wednesday on their blog they have a theme for a scrapbooking challenge and this week with 9/11 approaching they fittingly have a challenge of Remembrance for a loved one that has passed away.
     My page is of my amazing grandfather whom I miss dearly. My grandfather lived a very full life into his 90's... Wow, it's tough to write about him. I have SO many great memories growing up in my grandparents household. I can remember my grandma getting upset with me and I'd run to my grandpa who would protect me from being punished and he'd just hold me in his arms. I remember stretching out on the sofa watching TV with my head in his lap and my grandma always saying how she'd end up with my feet.... I miss you grandpa!

I can't find where the word art is from and I'm assuming it was with the program.

It's All About Me- Entry

Made this with My Memories Suite. Enter my giveaway by Monday to win this digital scrapbooking software.

My First Giveaway: My Memories Suite

Yay! This is my first giveaway!!

I've never tried scrap booking much less scrapbooking software before but I've got a ton of pictures on my external hard drive just waiting for me to put some order to them. So I was thrilled when they offered me their product to try out. I kind of got in stuck mode and spent ALL DAY yesterday the past 4 days sorting through my photos and playing with this program. I got so excited with all the kits you can purchase that I've downloaded almost all the FREE kits (because that's my favorite price LOL) and I've bought a couple kits too. Here's a couple of my pages that I had auto-filled with a few of my favorite photos of myself.

Looking at the My Memories Suite You Tube videos I've learned so many neat tricks for this software Not only can you make scrapbooks maybe set it to music, you can make calendars, movies, photo albums or a DVD. I've decided I want to make calendars for everyone for Christmas. I'm really excited to try out this program more in depth but I figured I'd take time out and give you guys the chance to win your own My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software.
