Welcome to the Little Monsters Blog Hop!

**CLICK HERE FOR THE SQUARE 1 DESIGN TEAM POST**

(Halloween Wall Art with Video)

Hi Everybody!

Welcome to the Little Monster's Blog Hop featuring the Thankful Thursday Design team.  Thankful Thursday started out as a challenge to encourage people to craft with their loved ones, young and old.  It was named Thankful Thursday to remind people to be thankful for their loved ones, and the crafty passion we all share.  The designers on this hop are from the Thankful Thursday Design Team.  Eventually, the challenge evolved to a monthly blog hop where we share inspiration for different types of projects, and hopefully encourage you all to involve your loved ones with your crafting!

For this month's blog hop, we used Little Monsters for inspiration!  Now there are different kinds of little monsters, but in my family, we have our own little group of "little monsters", lol!  Here's my project about our own little "boo crew":

*Pink Cat Studio - Pre-colored digital stamp

*Jaded Blossom - Fancy Topper Die, Halloween Poop stamp set

*I used the My Memories Suite software to insert the digital background papers, and template to place the pictures.

*I like to incorporate regular embellishments onto my digital layouts so they aren't so "flat".

*Action Wobbles are a great way to add interaction to layouts!

*Here's my wobbling monster :O)

My Memories Suite Software Review & Give-away!!

Hi Everybody!
I'm pretty excited for my post today.  Today is my first time doing digital scrapbooking!  I have been given the opportunity to try My Memories Suite:

This is a fun and easy digital software that lets me create fun and delightful projects including scrapbook pages, cards, home decor and more.  I will definitely be sharing more projects with you all using this program!  The project I'm sharing today is probably one of my favorite projects ever! 

I decided to use a calendar option from the MM store.  You can personalize every project exactly how you want it.  Here are the details:

* My Memories Suite Scrapbooking Software

*Square 1 =  (printable, repositionable and removable

adhesive-backed fabric)

*Pink By Design = Hats Off set, All In The Family set, Scripted Year set

 Here's how the calendar looked like when I opened it up in the program:

*The gray portions on the calendar are the parts that may be cut off or trimmed when the album is bound into a book.  You get a helpful pop up letting you know this when you first start your project.

*You can see some of the featured designs on MyMemories.com on the left side, and all the options you can use on your project on the right side.

*Here's how I changed the project to get exactly the colors and design I wanted:

-the ribbon from yellow to red

-added the bow towards the top (I could have placed it wherever I wanted it!)

-added the 3 flower buttons
-added the notepad (also an available embellishment in this program)

*After I printed it, I decided I wanted to add the year, so I stamped it using the Hats Off set from PBD. 

*The drop-and-drag feature in this scrapbook software make it super easy to add pictures!  Isn't my family gorgeous?!?!

*After looking at this picture, I decided to add this sentiment from the PBD set All In The Family.

*I added this cute little notepad to write quick little notes.  If you use pencil, you can use it over and over again!

* Stamp is from PBD set Scripted Year.

*The reason I wanted to make this project so badly was because I have a "naked" stainless steel refridgerator.  It KILLS me that I can't just throw on a magnet to put up my kids artwork or reminders.  This program is a perfect marriage to the Square 1 product, and allowed me to FINALLY put something up on my 'fridge!

*This has been up for about a week and a half and leaves no marks on the door :)

And now guess what?!?!?!  My Memories Suite  has been awsome and is letting me GIVE-AWAY.....
