My Memories Suite giveaway.

One of the things I love about digital scrapbooking is that I can download a picture on the computer and immediately scrapbook it!  I have done digital scrapbooking mainly through free sites, like scrapblog.com until the end of last year, when I got a photo editing program on craigslist for a killer deal.  That has helped me to get more familar how things work on the computer.  Yet the program I was using wasn't digital scrapbook friendly...BIG learning curve!

Well recently I was contacted by My Memories about their digital scrapbook software called My Memories Suite.  My fears and confusions are out the window folks.

The program is so simple.  It immediately downloads into your computer so you can access it right away.  Do you want to see what I made in 5 minutes after downloading the program?  Seriously, i'm not kidding.  This thing is so easy and user-friendly...

And this wasn't even their papers and embellishments that are found on the program!  So you can imagine how much easier and faster it would have been to make something already in the program!

Speaking of stuff, their designs are adorable and so fun to play with!
I made a chore chart recently from them just to show you that there are many things to do with their scrapbook software:

Inspiration is from here.

Do you want to hear GREAT news?

hands that serve & giveaway.

For those who don't know, I'm a Mormon.  I recently was given a calling (an opportunity to serve those in my church) to help out with activities for the ladies in the church.  This past Tuesdays, we had a special evening called, Hands that Serve.  

Our focus was to remind and encourage one another that through our hands, through our service, Heavenly Father blesses each and everyone of us.  We also did a bit of pampering for ourselves since we need to remember the importance of taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of others!

Being on the committee, I signed up to make some cupcake stands, which are easy!  Grab some plates and cups/bowls/candlesticks and super glue and put them together!  These were put on the food tables with cupcakes on them for dessert!

Next were the centerpieces for the tables that we would be pampering ourselves with hand scrubs!

Cute huh?  They were free...which is even better!

So here's how they were made:

So I grabbed some mason jars..I have a lot!

I spray painted them pink, and grabbed some twigs from my backyard...

I filled it with rocks that my girls collected to hold the stick in place...

I found and wrote up some quotes and printed them off for each branch...

I marked 2 hole punches in 2 identical papers...

I put a paper on each side and tied them around the twig with some string and ta da!!

What do you think?

Here are the quotes:

Aren't those great quotes?

The evening turned out lovely and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get a picture of the night.  The message of the night was uplifting and it strengthened my efforts to use my hands for good!

So seeing how I have 2 sets of these beautiful quotes, I am giving one set away to one of you!

I'm going to put my set in some frames and hang them in all crazy-like in my craft room to inspire me as I create :)

So to enter:

Leave a comment letting me know what quote you like the best!
