Where did the years go

Well I can't believe that our eldest grandchild will be 9 years old  at the beginning of May, where did the time go, even worse is the fact that her mum will be 40 this year, now that does make me worry. Anyway I bet you can't guess what Megan's favourite colour is?

MY MEMORIES SOFTWARE GIVEAWAY

This post will stay at the top till 25th March, please scroll down for other posts

 When I recieved an email from Liz at  My Memories to ask me if I would review My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software I was suprised but delighted, you see I bought a scrapbook 8 years ago, just before my first grandchild was born, and i'm ashamed to say I never used it. I think it was the size of the pages that put me off. Anyway i've been playing with My Memories Suite for a few days now, and I love it. I found it very easy to work my way round it, but there are lots of tutorials, tips and support on the website.

Anyway this is the first page that I attempted

Megan and Freya my eldest grandchildren.

And here is my second attempt

This is George, our youngest grandchild,for the moment anyway,we have another granddaughter due very soon.

I have also made a birthday card using Mymemories. Suite for the background and just adding a topper.

This software is very easy to use, there are some ready made templates, where you just have to drag and drop your  photos in, but I just jumped straight in and made my own pages from scratch.

Anyway not only did I recieve My Memories Digital Scrapbooking  software to review, I have also been given one to put up as candy on my blog

So what are you waiting for.

Here is all you have to do

Please visit My Memories  website and take a good look round at all the fabulous papers and kits, then come back to my blog and leave me a comment about the pages I have made, and also tell me which kit or papers you like  and that's all there is to do, easy peasy.I will draw a winner after 6pm onSun 25th March

A NEW JOB

First can I welcome my new followers, hope you enjoy my blog. Now onto the card, my Daughter in Law has just returned to work, after her maternity leave, but  she is changing jobs soon, moving to a hospital nearer home (and the grandparents), and instead of  nursing the elderly, she will be looking after babies, so I thought this LOTV stamp  would be ideal for her card, and  I love this sketch from here and i'm sure I will be using it again

I have used Promarkers to colour the image
Striped paper from craftwork cards
Cherry blossom wild orchid
Everything else from stash

I am entering it in the following challenges
