Scrapbook Software Tips

Can you really create a scrapbook in just minutes?

My Memories Suite, from Polaroid, has recently been voted #1 in scrapbooks, slideshow and photobooks. They lowered their prices to compete with the other leaders in this industry. That makes it a really good place to try out to make digital scrapbooking far quicker and easier.

This is created for anyone who doesn’t need or want to learn a really “hard” software program and just wants to do something with your photos and create memory books – for themself or for gifts. You can create a slideshow to share your photos online, too. If you buy it now you can use this coupon code for 10% off (through September):  Coupon Code: B2S10OFF

One thing I didn’t like about the website home page is that it isn’t friendly and I didn’t know what to click on. When I clicked on “Visit the Design Shop” at the bottom of the page. That page (where you can look at designs or search for things) made me feel more at home (go in to the store where you won’t feel put off by the sales pitch on the home page).

There are cards, calendars and lots of other nice looking designs in the store. But I went to check out the scrapbook software. This is a very inexpensive computer program to use for digital scrapbooks – and to get your scrapbooks printed or share them with others. Here are some details about My Memories Suite:

My Memories Suite – Standard Package

• Far cheaper than other software
• This feature rich software is was made for scrapbooking and there are no add on features to buy that would raise the price.

There are no specials for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 right now (sorry!). But for some reason, the version for the MAC – Photoshop Elements 6 – is cheaper. I can’t recommend this software enough. Many photo editors and scrapbookers start with Photoshop Elements and later upgrade to Adobe Photoshop (which is what professional graphic designers prefer.)

So, for you MAC users who do digital scrapbooking or photo editing, here is a link to save $20 upgrading to Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 - or click below to go to Adobe to get a good price when you buy the full version.

Save on Photoshop Elements 6

This discount price of $69 is for those who want to upgrade from previous versons of Photoshop Elements, Photoshop LE, Photoshop Album, or PhotoDeluxe.

For PC computer or Windows users, here is the latest: $79 for the upgrade version and $99 for the full version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 software. Also read about the add-on for Photoshop.com membership, which gives you these extras:

• Ongoing delivery of tutorials, artwork, and templates
• 20GB of online storage
• Access to your photos and videos virtually anywhere you are
• And fun, interactive photo-sharing experiences for friends and family

As soon as any special prices are out again, I’ll post about them (I’m thinking maybe by fall there will be some specials, well at least I hope so).
