Sketch 141

We have a fun sketch for you this week! Rotate it any way you like- just make sure you include all of the elements and have fun!




This week we're sponsored by My Memories: maker of digital scrapbook software. They also have hundreds of kits available for download! There is even a free download section for frugal shoppers or those who want to try some of the kits out before purchasing.

My Memories supplied each of the design team with software to use in our creations this week. You'll see some digi cards, hybrid cards, and scrapbook layouts below.

Here is a list of what the design team liked and didn't like about the software.

PROs:

• Straight-forward design- just keep adding elements you want included on your project
• Program organizes your photos and kit elements
  
• Nice assortment of kits, papers, and embellishments to choose from for FREE
• Great selection of kits, papers, and embellishments to choose from for a small fee
  
• Great effects including shadowing and other shortcuts in the right sidebar
• Can add music and other special effects to your pages & albums
• Pre-made templates make building a layout extremely easy
• Able to use other vendor's content with the software
• Kits can be downloaded for use in other programs
  

CONs:

• Keyboard shortcuts don't work inside the program
  
• Downloading and installation takes a long time
• Elements/items aren't easy to figure out how to add to your project; but once you figure out the first one the rest come easily
• Need to work from the base-up as that is how the program adds layers
• Limited tool selections (no color changer, saturation, brightness/contrast)
• Downloaded kits/elements aren't always easy to find once downloaded

My Memories has provided Card Patterns readers with a coupon worth $10 off the software and $10 to use in the store- a $20 value! Just use our code when downloading:

Prize: One lucky participant this week will win 1 free copy of the My Memories Suite digital scrapbooking software ($40 value).

Lenet Mos: Scrap Lenet

Hi I am Lenet Mos. I'm living with my husband, two kids, and ginger tomcat in Enkhuizen, a town near the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands. I work as a partime preschool teatcher, so I have a lot of spare time to spent in my craftroom.

I think I have been crafting all my life and tried all different kinds of crafting. I started making cards when I started my blog 2 years ago and still love it. I used to be more of a scrapbooker but having a kind of scrappersblock for the last two year now. Think card making is a good substitute for it and I'm making one almost every day. Guess that makes me a cardmaking addict!

And here is Lenet's gorgeous take on the sketch:
