There are two contests today, so be sure to enter both. Monday’s contest is over, but the rest are still going, so enter them and good luck!

This contest is special because these products are digital rather than traditional scrapbooking products. Digital scrapbooking has gotten better and better with the help of great products like the ones today’s winner will take home. Here’s what one of Friday’s winners will get:

story book creator plus creative memories digital scrapbooking

1. StoryBook Creator Plus Digital Scrapbooking Software by Creative Memories

I like all the paper and traditional stuff, but digital scrapbooking is sounding more and more appealing for at least some of my scrapbooking. Scrapbooking can be an overwhelming and never ending project, and I’m going to start trying to incorporate digital pages in with my traditional ones.

This software is awesome for either the seasoned or rookie digital scrapbooker. It’s easy to use and understand with enough options to change things up without being overwhelming. So here is a treat for you who have already digitized and for those who are getting ready to make the change. You can visit Creative Memories’ website to see all the tips and tricks of this software.

2. Memory Manager 2.0 Software by Creative Memories

I love this software. Before Memory Manager, I uploaded all my pictures into Picasa and there they stayed, organized according to the upload date. I still use Picasa, but I also use the Memory Manager program because I can organize my photos however I want, and each photo can be in 5 different place if that’s what I want.

I can organize my pictures according to holiday, family relationship, date, location - anything! This has made it so much easier for me to visualize how I’m going to scrapbook my pictures. I can move all the pictures I eventually want to print into one folder, so when Snapfish has their 8 cent prints sale, I don’t have to try and figure it all out right then. I have stopped printing pictures that I’m not actually going to use, so this software also saves me a little bit of money and sanity.

It’s easy to use and so helpful!

gorillapod gogo logogorillapod go-go camera tripod

3. A Gorillapod Go-Go by Joby.

Today’s final prize is going to help you get those pictures taken so you actually have something to scrapbook! The Gorillapods are these little flexible tripods that you can use for any type of camera. The Go-go is unique because you can use it for more than just a camera like the picture shows. You can prop up your cell phone or GPS in the car or anywhere! It’s a mobile entertainment kit that lets you prop up or attach your hand held gadgets anywhere you want. Your kids are going to love this product. It has lot of cool features that you’ll just have to check out their website to see.

Thanks Creative Memories and Gorillapod!

I’d love to learn the digital way. Sometimes you just don’t need a big mess! (Especially if you don’t have a “craft room” that you can just shut the door!)

And of course with a grandbaby around–I could always use more pictures to work with!

Good luck, everyone!

Never seen anything like the go-go. I have been thinking of maybe going into Digital Scrapbooking, maybe this would get me started.
Thanks again for holding these contests.

I agree that digital scrapbooking would be fun for some of my photos or events. But I still love the papers and gadgets of traditional scrapbooking - why does paper make me so happy - I guess I am just a paper geek!!! But a happy paper geek - lol. Thanks again for all the work you do to get all these prizes together.

I’m thinking about doing more digital scrapbooking myself. Somehow it feels like cheating, but I agree with you — it would help get those photos into a fun format for viewing in a faster (and less expensive!) way.

Digital scrapbooking seems like it would really help out with my clutter, and is much more environmental, isn’t it? And that gorilla pod thing is the greatest idea! I’ll have to keep my eyes open for that if I don’t win… :0)
