Oooo....I've got a great giveaway for all you crafty folks out there. Especially those of you who like working with paper in any way shape or form. My Memories is a scrapbooking site that offers so many products and so much information for those of you who enjoy scrapbooking. Here's a small list of what you can find on their site:

Digital Scrapbooking Kits and Downloads
Album Templates
Design Club

I got the chance to review the newest in scrapbooking software....the My Memories Suite. I've already used it in my new job as a librarian to make a poster about a reading contest. The images and backgrounds built into the program are incredibly nice and I found the software fairly easy to use. I don't do much in the way of scrapbooking myself, only because I've never tried it. This Suite can be used for more than just scrapbooking!! It's perfect for crafting in general. You can make and print so many different images to use in framing, decoupage, gift tags, etc. 

The are many option for layouts and backgrounds. Take a look at this funky chevron:

The whole program is laid out very simply. Design your own page or choose from the prepackaged ones:
I'm totally excited to wander around some more on this program. Here is what I made in minutes for my job:
Pretty simple, right? I love the font and the image of the notebook.

If you don't find a background or layout you are looking for on the Suite, you can just skip right over to the website and download it there:

Love Twined in Yarn

I saw this great yarn wrapped love post on Family Chic and just had to give it a try. 

I used some flexible jewelry wire and twined it in one long line, so that I could shape the metal in what ever way I wanted. It's was super dooper easy. All you need is wire, yarn, hot glue, and some patience. Glue the yarn to the tip of the wire and begin winding the yarn around it, tapping some glue on the metal from time to time to help it hold it's place. 


There are so many fun ways to use this!!!! 

I <3 this craft.
