Page Builders!! Photo-Only-Layouts with a PUNCH!

The photo-only layouts for My Memories are a great way to get started. But they lack a little something extra. The templates (Quick Mixes for Memory Mixer folks) are also a great start, but tend to limit your creativity to the designer's style and/or kit being used. Page Builders (the genius idea from Barb at Albums to Remember Designs) is the best of both worlds. They are like Photo-Only layouts with a PUNCH! They have added shapes to them, so you can add papers easily and quickly. They have shape placeholders so you can see where you may be likely to put some embellishments or clusters. Similar to the PSD templates for Photoshop. Only these require the use of My Memories Suite.

Freebie so you can try it: HERE!!!

Here is the page set I made with the freebie:

Kit is "All in a Day - Pink Bliss"

Small Changes Challenge from My Memories...

It's been a while since I posted, or participated in a challenge. I've been fairly busy recovering from the flu and helping my family recover. That was a doosie!!! Anyway, the latest challenge was Small Changes...when you do small changes on a regular basis, it adds up to a very large change! So...as one of my resolutions was to downsize...I figured I would be more likely to downsize if I did it in small increments. Here's the page I came up with.

Kit: Le Diva - Crazy 4 Monograms

After scrapping with this kit, I have to say it is one of my new favorites! I had a blast scrapping this page! :)

Recipes!!!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I've been super busy with work, kids, husband, Christmas and worst of all, recovering all of the lost kits from a fried EHD! :( I was able to recover most of them...but the hardest part is unzipping and organizing. It's UNREAL how much I had and now have! LOL

Anyway, my latest project is a set of recipe cards for my family for Christmas. I've been working on them here and there and have about 10 or so completed. :)

Here are the cards. I can give credit to Albums to Remember, Magical Reality Designs, By Becca, Fayette, PrelestnayaP, Mye DeLeon, Crazy 4 Monograms, and a few others for random bits and pieces to complete these cards.

Elegant new kit from Albums to Remember Designs

An elegant holiday kit just hit the shops at both Memory Mixer and My Memories Suite! It's called Holiday Spice from Albums to Remember Designs. It's a simply gorgeous kit with lots of rich colors and glittery embellies. It is a step outside of her usual style and she did a fantastic job with it! She is also releasing a kit next week in her more traditional style with the same colors. It's another must have!

Here are a couple pages I made with this kit:

Family Traditions Challenge - MMS Blog

This week's challenge was to create a page that describes a family holiday tradition. I've been kind of busy all weekend and finally got a chance to scrap tonight. Which, happens to coincide with the release of My Memories Suite Version 3. Yes, they just released version 3 today! I've already downloaded my upgrade and must say it is FABULOUS!!! Lots of great new features! If you'd like to take a peek at the software, you can download a free trial version here. If you like it, they promise to have a super sale on Cyber Monday for the full V3 version. Watch their Facebook page for super deals.

Here is my challenge page.

New Potty Training Kit!

Do you have potty pix that you have no idea how to scrap? LOL....I had a few and really had no idea what to do with them. Albums to Remember released a coordinating kit to her Little Baby Boy and Little Baby Girl kits...it's Potty Training!

The potty kit is filled with little potties, toilet paper, panties, underwear, diapers....perfect for little boys and girls.

Here are my pages:

Also...there are matching alphas to all three of these kits. There are a total of 11 - ELEVEN - in this set. :)

Weekly Challenge - Hat's Off Challenge - My Memories

The challenge this week was to use pictures or embellishments that have hats in them. My daughter is such a little diva and fashionista. She loves clothes...and absolutely adores her Minnie Mouse hat.
