My Memories Suite v2 software review

Layout for Big Picture Scrapbooking class I took

     A few weeks ago, I was asked to do a review on some digital software called My Memories Suite v2, I am hooked.....for many reasons!!!   One reason right off - is the ease of use for downloading the software and kits they have.  I downloaded their free kits so I could play with the software itself.  I downloaded all of the free kits, which was enough to make 12 layouts from a class I took at Big Picture Scrapbooking (and very well worth it too)!!!  Another reason is their selection of not only free kits, but kits that are priced at $9.99 and less in tons of different themes as well!   


     This software is not hard to use or learn, very user friendly in fact!  If you are already familiar with any kind of digital software, then you shouldn't have too much of a problem.  However, it might take you a few days of playing with the software to get used to it's features.  If you go to Youtube  you will find plenty of tutorials if you need a bit of help in learning how to work it all!  My favorite thing about this software is the fact you can get inspiration at one moment, and then go in and create the layout without having to get any supplies out!  If the background paper doesn't match or look good, it's really easy to change, without having to "unglue" something - which is too hard to do!!!  


     As you open up the software, the first option you will get is to create an album from a template, create your own, or browse online - I chose the create your own option - which brought me into another area where I was able to choose what type of layout I wanted.  You will then go in and name your album, and pick the options that are best for you!  If you are working on an ongoing project, then you want to make sure to name it something you can remember easily!  There will be a picture on he bottom that you can click on, and go directly to that set of files!  


     On the right side of the software will be the options you have available to you in the control panel.  Start with the background paper, and then you can go to the left side of the software - there is a little button underneath resource gallery that says photo layouts gallery (3rd button from right hand side of the icons) where you can look at the different layouts you can add to your creation depending on the number of photos you are planning on using.  There are tons of different styles - some with multiple photos - others just one, depending on what you have in mind for your project.  If you need to add another layout to your creation, simply right click on the bottom bar right after the last page you have done, and insert layout!


     If you are a tried and true paper scrapbooker, you will love getting this software, even if you just try the free kits that are available to you for now!  Looking at the web site there are plenty of kits I have got to have, and the price is perfect!   I know for me, I love picking up my supplies and playing with paper...but I also love making digital albums now as well!  The layouts I am sharing here - are all done with the software and kits from My Memories Suite v2...and to tell you I give them 10 stars, or 10 thumbs up is an understatement!!!  I love it!!!
