Giveaway: My Memories Suite

Guys, this is the first giveaway I've ever hosted. Eep!
So, I like to scrapbook. I see it as a good way to preserve memories. It's family history, people! And I like that it gives me a better way to tell a story than a regular photo album would.
I started out with regular ol' scrapbooking, then looked into digital scrapbooking a bit. Digital scrapbooking is pretty awesome, because there's no mess. And I don't have to worry about gluing something down and regretting it. Drag and drop! But I've never been able to afford digital scrapbooking software.
So! Imagine my excitement when I was contacted to do a giveaway for MyMemories.com. "Heck, yes!" I said (in my head, not out loud). They let me download their My Memories Suite software so I could try it out, tell y'all about it, and then give a free copy to one of you lucky readers.
I've never used any fancy-pants scrapbooking or photo editing software. So it took me a little while to figure out what I was doing with My Memories Suite. But once I got the hang of it, it was fun and easy to use. Check out this page I made:
My Memories Suite comes with lots of templates that you can use, or you can start from a blank page. It also comes with several backgrounds and embellishments to use in your projects. (I made the page up there just with elements that came with the software.) Then, if you're interested, you can visit MyMemories.com to download more backgrounds and embellishments--a few are free, and the rest are reasonably priced.
The fine people at My Memories also told me that you can use this My Memories Suite to make things like cards and calendars. Fun, right?
How to enter the giveaway:
Comment on this post. You don't have to be a blogger--just make sure you leave a name and e-mail address so I can contact you if you win.
For one additional entry:
After you've entered the giveaway once, you can enter once more by visiting MyMemories.com, looking around a bit, and then coming back and commenting with your favorite thing that you saw there.
This giveaway will be open until next Friday, June 3rd. I'll announce a winner on Saturday, June 4th. The winner will receive a promo code to get My Memories Suite for free (a $39.97 value).
If you just can't wait, MyMemories is also offering My Memories Suite at a $10 limited discount for you guys. Just use the code STMMMS86818. This code expires Monday, June 6th.

    Now you've given my a whole new option!
