I made the frame for this picture in just a few minutes using the Old Secret designer pack by ButterflyDsign. The little girl in the picture is my grandma Ila. She was an incredible lady.
The Old Secret designer pack is free until November 3, 2013, so be sure to grab it while you can. If you like vintage, be sure to check out the other designer packs from ButterflyDsign as well.
One of the things you can make very easily with MyMemories Suite 4 is pyramid cards. A pyramid card is made by layering an image so that each successive layer is smaller. Here’s one I made yesterday evening.
The Santa image I used is from an old PcCrafter set. Here’s a video tutorial I made showing how to make pyramid cards using MyMemories Suite 4.
So you say you’re not in to scrapbooking? That’s OK. You can do a lot more than just scrapbooking with MyMemories Suite 4. Here’s a card I made recently using the Soft Nostalgia digital paper pack, Bodacious Bloossoms cutting file and Fairy Wishes digital stamps from PaperWishes. The rick-rack on the inside is one of many included embellishments in MyMemories Suite.
Some of the elements are printed on the background and others were printed separately and layered on top. I really love that I can size everything to fit the card. No more struggling to find a frame to fit a stamped sentiment or vise versa.
Besides scrapbooks you can make lots of other things using MyMemories Suite 4. Here’s a card I made with the HoneyChurch Layered Paper Hearts kit.
The quick page I chose makes a heart that gets thicker toward the center. The patterns and quick pages, when printed full size (8.5” x 11”), make a fairly large heart. Since I wanted something I could put on a card, I reduced my chosen quick page 1/4 size. I designed the front of the card in MyMemories Suite 4. It was very quick and easy to do. First I added a 4.75” x 6.5” rectangle and filled it with the Aqua paper included in the kit, then I added the shapes I wanted and filled them with paper. When I was done, printed it, cut it out and added it to the front of a card blank.
The instructions for the heart, posted on the MyMemories site say to print two copies, but if you want the paper to show on both sides, you will need to print four copies. After cutting the strips out, arrange them in pairs, back to back so the color will show on both sides.
After making the heart, I glued it to the front of the card, then I added a layered heart dazzle to the center and border dazzles along the edges.

Here’s a layout I created in MyMemories Suite 4 using pictures of my sweet little granddaughter and the new Serendipity digital paper pack from Hot Off The Press.
Isn’t she adorable?
I used the basic circle and scalloped circle shapes for the flowers and I used the photo shape tool to make round photos for the flower centers. The font for the title is called Robot Teacher and the font for the journaling is CK Carefree from Creating Keepsakes. Everything else except for the ribbons is from the Serendipity digital paper pack.
The May challenge over at the MyMemories forum was to use the Attach to Shape feature on a layout. I was almost too late to join in the fun, but I managed to find some time yesterday afternoon and put this page together:
I attached the journaling to a tree shape from the Treedle Dee svg collection from Lettering Delights. The combo pack I used for the papers and embellishments is Outdoor Adventure by Albums2Remember.
After I posted the layout, someone asked a question about attaching text to shapes, so I wrote up this quick tutorial. Of course, I wrote it in MyMemories Suite 4!
