Want It? Win It! Wednesday: My Memories Digital Scrapbook Software

I shared with you before that I'm a digital scrapbooker.

It's such a less cluttered way to scrapbook
and I was totally smitten with it once my friend Mandy
introduced me to almost 6 years ago.
I have to admit that I don't do it as often as I'd like,
but it's still fun to use to make printables and other
fun things!

So I'm excited to be able to offer a giveaway
of Amazon's #1 rated digital scrapbook software -
My Memories Suite!!!



It's a totally affordable and user-friendly option
for digital scrapbooking.
You can make scrapbook pages, edit and
embellish your photos, and create printables!

Jaime and I recently took our kids out to the
the mountains to enjoy some Fall apple fun.
I used My Memory to make a quick album
page and a funny printable of a sign then had up
at the cider mill :)


I was impressed with how user friendly My Memories Suite
was for digital scrapbooking.
I opened the program and started right in with no problem.

Today one winner will win My Memory Suite
Digital Scrapbooking Software!

Want It? Win It! Wednesday: Shutterfly Holiday Cards!!!

***CLOSED***

Did you know I'm a digital scrapbooker?

I love it.
I used to be a paper scrapper,
but the mess was too consuming.
paper supplies + toddler + apartment = no bueno
So, I turned to digital and never looked back.



Enter Shutterfly.
I *HEART* them.
They have amazing products
that are perfect for digital scrapbookers like myself.

Every year I make personalized wall calendars
for all the Grandparents in my life.
And every year I get told - you have to make these every year.
So I do.
And I think they are awesome.
You can personalize your dates and customize the top with your own photos.

I also love their photobooks.
I've made a remembrance book for my Grandpa for his 80th birthday,
did a photo sign in book for my brother's wedding,
scrapped my December Daily Album - a la Alie Edwards-,
and made an album of my son's first year of life.

Last year I tried their Christmas cards for the first
time and I {LOVED} how it turned out!



The quality was excellent,
the shipping was fast,
and I got lots of compliments :)
Plus, they had a Top #10!
I've done Top #10 for 6 years now,
so it was perfect!

I loved it so much, I might just use it again!
But I also love so many others!













They are all just so cute!

And if I'd have had the kids' costumes
done early, and had Syl shoot them,
then I could have sent Halloween cards!

This is your lucky day, because THREE winners will receive

25 {FREE} cards from Shutterfly!

Want It? Win It! Wednesday: Razzle Dazzle Ruby

***CLOSED***

I am so excited for today's giveaway!

Truly!!!!
Being a former 2nd grade teacher,
I am a total children's lit junkie.
No joke.
My friend Heather and I used to have a competition
to see who had the most picture books in their library.
She's still teaching, so I'm sure she's surpassed me by now.

Thanks to the peeps at Scholastic I got to preview a
new book that is so cool!

RAZZLE-DAZZLE RUBY
By Masha D’yans
Ages 4-8



A little about the author:
Masha D’yans is an award-winning artist. Her line of greeting cards, clothing, and home décor, featuring her alluring artwork, are sold at Target, Macy’s, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom, as well as other major retailers and smaller specialty shops. Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, and classically trained at the St. Petersburg Academy of Art Lyceum and subsequently at Cooper Union in New York City, she now lives and works in Manhattan. Razzle-Dazzle Ruby is her first book. Visit her at www.masha.com.

It is seriously darling and Isabella loved it!!!
It came while her brother was at school,
so she got to enjoy it all by herself.
Plus, it's right up her alley with all sparkles, twirling, and spinning
that goes on in this fun, interactive book.



Isabella was enthralled from the moment she opened the book.
The sparkles had her at the first page.


Take a peek inside:


She loved all the pop-ups, spinners, and pulls.


I was worried that she wouldn't be able to
do them independently, but she didn't
have any problems at all :)


This is your lucky day, because two (2) winners will receive

striped tights just like Ruby wears and a copy of Razzle-Dazzle Ruby!

Want it?
Well, you can WIN IT!
If you want to win
then here is what you need to do!

Want It? Win It! Wednesday: Maynard's Mousetrap

****CLOSED****

Why hello there friends!
Are you ready for a new giveaway???
I'm so excited to present Maynard's Mousetrap to you.

Julie says about her shop:
My husband and I created Maynard's Mousetrap 12 years ago. We come up with the idea together, I make stylized unique pillowcases and he creates the image for us. We love kitsch and retro.



Aren't they so darling???
Julie sent me a set of Orange Robot Pillowcases for review.

They came so perfectly packaged and ready for gift giving.
The kids couldn't wait to rip into them.
In fact, I made them wait!
My camera went to the "doctor" for a week or so,
and I didn't want them to open them until I took pictures.
Every morning JT would wake me up asking,
"Now can I have my robot pillowcase?"



Once we busted the pretty little package open,
the robot pillowcases did not disappoint!
The full image was gorgeous and the kids love sleeping on them.



No joke.
They insisted I take their pictures "sleeping" on them :)

Maynard's Mousetrap is giving away a $25 shop credit today!!! Now you can get kitschy pillowcases for you or someone you love!
