I have tons of digital pictures. I post them to this blog. I post them to Facebook. I post some to Flickr. Some of them just sit there - waiting, neglected, sad. Do you have pictures like that too? One of my co-workers prints out her pictures and makes scrapbooks. She has them stacked in her house. They are fun to look at, but I don't have room for that. Besides, this is the digital age: we blog; we do other online things. We have computers, smartphones etc.
Why not have digital scrapbooks? Imagine sending a scrapbook to you cousin across the country -or for that matter in a different country. Now you are getting the vision!
I got a very cool software package called
MyMemories Suite. It is a very cool digital scrapbooking package. It comes with lots of "stuff" to make scrapbook pages.
BUT you can also make other cool stuff with it. Did you notice my new blog header? I made that with the
MyMemories Suite. I did crop and re-size the image in my photo editor.
Let me tell you about this software and then I will tell you how you can possibly WIN a copy.

Created in MyMemories Software |
How did I make that blog header? I simply made a one page album. Then I exported that one page as an image (a jpg file.)
The coolest part in my opinion is the Word Art feature. See how the letters in my banner look carved out? Notice the shadow? All of this gives a great 3D effect that I love.
Word Art has several subsections: Fill, Stroke, Shadow, Shape, Bevel and 3D. I think I used them all except Stroke. Each of them has a little "enable" checkbox in the sidebar menu.

I added a green arrow to show you where the checkbox is located |
Fill is how you color the letters. I chose solid color then clicked the color "block" to choose my color.
Stroke adds an outline (but I didn't use it.)
- Shadow adds a shadow to you word making it seem to float. There are adjustments for position of the shadow.
- Shape allows you to curve or angle the words.
- Bevel lets you add that carved effect. I like the "pillow bevel" but I played with all of them. I am not sure which I used on my banner.
- 3D adds an outline that is adjustable.
I had lots of creative fun playing with the Word Art. My only complaint is that when I add Word Art it starts in "Gradient Color" and I prefer "Solid Color." However it is only one click to change it.
There is also the ability to make a movie out of your album. This would be a great way to share photos at a family reunion or perhaps a milestone birthday. I have made a simple album using some of my quilting/sewing just so you can see. I did the album and made it into a movie in less than twenty minutes. Choosing which pictures to use took the most time.
If you expand this to full screen it is blurry - that is because I chose a low quality when I did the output. I have done one on DVD played on a large screen TV and was NOT blurry.
I sincerely hope the movie works in Blogger. It plays perfectly on my home computer. I also put it on a DVD just to see how it worked. It is great.
