April BBA Giveaway and the Memories Software Giveaway Winner

Erika of ArtfulRising is hosting the April BBA Giveaway.  She's giving away a prompted journal, handstamped keychain, and a workshop.

The journal has 25 prompts that are designed to help you focus on purpose and passion.  All of the pages are lined, and there are additional blank pages at the end.  The front cover is made of green heavy weight paper.  The back cover is chipboard.  The journal measures 4.25"X5.5", which is a great portable size.

Erika's brother handstamped this keychain with the word "Dream."

Finally, the winner will have the chance to participate in a future Artful Rising workshop that is going to debut in late May.  You can learn more about Erika and the workshops that she offers on her web site.

Head over to the BBA blog to enter!  Please don't leave me entries here.  They must be on the BBA blog.  Thanks!

The second topic for this post is the winner of the Memories Software giveaway.  I used a random number generator to pick the winner.

The tenth entry is Judy of JNOriginals. Congratulations!  I have contacted Judy and will be sending her a code for her software download shortly.  Thanks to everyone who entered and promoted this giveaway!

My Memories Software: Giveaway

I was recently contacted about hosting a My Memories software giveaway on my blog. Of course I accepted.  I actually won a copy of the software from a different blog giveaway a while back.  Honestly I have only played around with it a few times, but every time, I turn around, I see another awesome project that someone has made with it.  Even if you are not into scrapbooking, there are so many possibilities for it.  Here are just a few great options.

Edi created a neat Christmas greeting.  This would be perfect for a Christmas card or simply as a photo to display in a frame or on your fridge.

If you're looking for a different technique for creating a cover page for Facebook's new Timeline, consider using your software.

Make just about any kind of labels that you like.  Check out this example from Laura.

Create promotional materials for your business.  Check out this neat layout that Mortira put together.

Victoria created some neat promo materials, too.

Make an important dates sign like this one that Laura made.

I have also found templates and ideas for bookmarks, candy wrappers, other greeting cards, and so much more.  What you cannot find, you will be able to design from scratch very easily.
