My Memories Software Giveaway

January 25, 2012 By

I was super excited when I was asked to review and giveaway My Memories Suite. I have actually been trying to win this giveaway on other blogs. I really love scrapbooking and I have been wanting to try digital scrapbooking.

Once I started playing around with this great software, I was instantly hooked!  My Memories Suite has some great templates that is so easy to use. All I had to do with this one of Allison is just drop a picture in and walla, a beautiful page for her scrapbook! And it printed out beautifully!

I also made a beautiful page for Ryan with the templates.

Now you might think My Memories Suite just has templates. Nope, you can create your own layout as well. I am not very crafty but I made this one without a template. I think I did a good job!

There is just so much more than scrapbook pages you can do with My Memories Suite. You can make cards,  photo books, videos, calenders and so much more!

I even got a little creative and made a calender page for the month of February. I found a great Valentines kits on My Memories at a very good price.

The scrapbook software is easy to use  and they have plenty of your scrapbooking needs right in there.  It will be hard to choose what paper or embellishment you want to use for your layout!

As a special gift to my readers, My Memories Suite is going to give you all a discount if you would like to purchase the software.

Siver Smoke–Kindle Giveaway

December 21, 2011 By

To celebrate the release of a new novel to the Seven Halos series, author Monica Leonelle is doing a Kindle Fire giveaway for Silver Smoke, the first novel in the series! Silver Smoke is the highly-rated (4.8 stars on Amazon) debut novel about the Hallows and the Nephilim, the descendants of archangels and humans. Here’s a description of the book:

Brie van Rossum has fame, fortune, and beauty, but there’s one thing she doesn’t have–the name of her mother’s supernatural killer.


The Hallows, descendants of the archangels, don’t think Milena was murdered.. but can Brie trust them when their government, the New Order, wants her dead?

She’d better figure it all out soon…

… because when Brie finds out who she really is, the hunt will begin.

And Milena might not be the only casualty.

Like mother, like daughter…

We’ll get to the contest details in a minute, but first, Monica gave us an exclusive excerpt of the book for the blog tour:

“Don’t get me started on you.” Pilot turned to Rykken. “You knew Brie was planning this suicide trip and you didn’t tell me!”

Rykken clenched his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t. Brie glared at Pilot, then grabbed Rykken’s hand and pulled a few steps ahead. Pilot let himself fall behind them.

Pilot wished he had something to punch, and right now the back of Rykken’s head looked pretty inviting. Consciously, he knew he was misdirecting his anger, but at that moment he didn’t care. He felt like his sister and his best friend were leaving him at the same time, becoming a part of this new world that excluded him. Together.

Then there was Kennedy. Kennedy was part of Silver Smoke, which was part of the Hallow world—a world he should have been a part of. He was Milena’s son—why didn’t he have powers? Was it because of what Thessa had said about the sons of Michael?

Every fiber of Pilot’s being ached for answers, anything that would make him feel less alone. Brie and Rykken were so silent and peaceful, his hand in hers as they walked. Pilot wasn’t angry about the two of them together anymore, not really. He still didn’t understand how it happened so quickly, or how every look between them seemed to have years of history behind it. He didn’t understand why their thoughts, words, and movements seemed to be so perfectly in sync.

The only part he was still mad about was how he didn’t fit in with them, the same way he didn’t fit in to the Hallow world. Pilot tried to imagine a scenario where their trio could work: a scenario where it wouldn’t always be two against one. A scenario where they wouldn’t choose each other over him.

He couldn’t.

The void left Pilot with a single thought—Kennedy. He needed to find Kennedy.
