I am honored and so exited to share this giveaway with you all.  Last week I received My Memories Suite, a digital scrapbook software package.   

My Memories Suite  is a fantastic value because it can be used to create various projects. This software can be used to make digital and printable scrapbook pages, photo books, videos, photo cards, business cards, calendars, gift tags, printable crafts, invitations, thank you cards, and even party supplies.

I am new to scrap booking and have never used anything like this before.  At first I was a little confused and lost. I soon found my way and was off to making some really cool stuff. I found that I liked making my stuff from scratch.  I would say it is very user friendly. Everything is displayed on the page you are working on and it's very easy to find things and go through what is offered. You can start a project with a quick page layout where all you have to do is add pictures. After you add your photo's you can add backgrounds and embellishments so you can create your own pages from start to finish.

The My Memories  website has some wonderful kits that you can download and add to your software. If you already  have kits and graphics on your computer , you can add them too.  I was truly amazed at what My Memories Suite can do. I even got to share my photo book with my friends and family on my Facebook page! I love the software and am so happy I was able to have and use it.  I made four projects to share with you. Once I got going, I didn't want to stop. So here they are.

This is half of my scrapbook that I had created. I made 12 pages altogether. With this project I started with a quick page layout where all I did was add my pictures. From there I got to design and decorate it all myself.  All of the items that I used in this project are from are items that came included with the software. 

 For my baby announcement, I used a template that was included with the software and I just added my photo's and my own words. 

For my invitation, I started with a blank page and just added some elements and words. The pictures were clip art I found online that I saved onto my computer. 

Last of all, I made a calendar. I started with a blank page for this too. I used the graph feature to line up all the leaves properly. I was very happy with how this turned out. I think my work is pretty good for a beginner. Just imagine how much you can do. 

This is a video to show how fun and easy it is to use the software.

My little Rose has been sick

It has been a while since I have been on here. I have been busy with my little one. She has had a bad virus that has been going around. It comes with a severe sore throat, fever of 102.5, LOTS of mucus, crusty eyes, and the whole bit. I probably will not be on here much again the next week because I am expecting Tootsabella to get it. She has been messing with fire, well not literally. She doesn't care to stay away from the ocean that Rose is creating even though I try to keep her away. It's all over everything so I am just going to let it be for now. Rose is still at the point where everything goes in her mouth so there is no point for me to run around disinfecting everything. I had it and so has my husband so we are waiting. Here are some nice pics just because!! Enjoy!

Thank you everyone who decides to follow the new Ember Image Photography blog.

Making cookies!!

We wanted some nice homemade cookies so we decided to follow the recipe on the back of the Hershey chips bag. Tootsabella and Rose had so much fun making the cookies but I think they had more fun eating them!! Here is our cookie story.....

 These look very inviting. What are we doing mommy.

 Let's skip the cookie part and eat the morsels!!

A stirring we will go

 Time to pour in the dry ingredients

 Round and round and round......mommy let me do it!!!

 Yes the stove is hot hot hot!!!

 Her favorite part besides licking the spoon

 Let's stir again

 Look mommy I learned how to climb today!!

 Yummy!!

 Crazy lady

 Let's just say she needed a bath

 Yes, she was too fast for the camera. Huh wonder what made her bounce off the walls before bedtime!

 Run, run, please get all that energy out before bed.

Irene and a tutu

I have had a massive migraine for a while, so I have not been on here much. Plus, my husbands schedule has changed once again so it uproots the kids and I a little bit. So if any of you have followed me and I haven't followed you back, let me know because I have missed it somewhere in all of my chaos this week. Speaking of uprooting....thankfully the hurricane steered clear of us for the most part. We encountered a few bands of it but thankfully no power outages. It moves on out today so I am glad to get my usual sunshine back! Also, I am proud to say that I won a tutu from Modern Wivelyhood and Daydream Believers. You can check out their blogs at  http://modernwivelyhood.blogspot.com/2011/08/giveaway-daydream-believers.html and http://www.daydreambelievers.net/ oh yea and the headband from this etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/jenrose4?ref=si_shop. It's really exiting to win stuff here and there. My girls will be happy about this one! Well it's that time to get ready for church. Have a good Sunday everyone!

Here are some pis for fun because I like to look at something pretty and I know all of you do too.
