Thanks to a fantastic tutorial that Sharon Horswill made I learned how to use outside content to make a new photo layout.  Most people think you can’t use an “outside content template” in mymemories suite but with a little creativity you can use it over & over again.   I used a free template offered by Lindsay Jane Designs to make a photo layout that I saved in mymemories suite.  I love this layout and now I’ll be able to used it again.  I used pieces from many kits: Albums2Remember Hawaii, Marie H Chasing Bugs, Deanna Jones Nautical Nights, Chriscraps You Are My Sunshine, a freebie from Jump Start Designs and a freebie from 3Scrapateers.  The font is Banner Lite. 

I made this layout using Let Freedom Ring by Digi Cyber Scraps.  This is a gorgeous kit that is available at mymemories.com.  I am trying to learn how to post free quickpages for you to use.  This is my first attempt.  Here is the page I did…

I used “Thank You Mommy” by Snap Wings to make this layout of my sister & I back in 2005.  We were at my son’s wedding in South Padre Island, TX.  We had an entire B & B to ourselves for three days.  It was so beautiful! It was a single story with all the rooms opening onto the courtyard/swimming pool area.  The ceremony and reception were both in the courtyard.  It was lovely.  In this picture we were in the dining area & she was obviously picking on me.  I love my sister!

Here is a picture of my brother kissing up on my mother back in the early to mid 70’s.  He was so funny & I’m sure my mother was lovin’ it!

Here are a couple of layouts using, Let Freedom Ring,  another beautiful new kit from Digi Cyber Scraps.  The pictures were taken in 2011 from our balcony at the Omni Hotel.  Every year, over the bay, there is a fireworks display shot off the deck of the U.S.S. Lexington.  You can see the U.S.S. Lexington  in the background.   The fireworks last about 20 minutes and is a grand show.

This kit will be available soon at mymemories.com.  Just scroll down the list of designers until you find Digi Cyber Scraps.  Or you can search by kit name.  If you haven’t tried MyMemories Suite, you should try it now.  It’s so fun & easy!  Use the code on my page for $10 off the software & get another $10 coupon you can spend in the store!

This layout is made using “4 Seasons Summer” by Scraps N Pieces another freebie I got on the MMS blog train.  I love the layout & colors on this page.  They are not my normal “go to” colors in spite of the fact that I love blue & brown together.  They bring out the blue in Mill’s eyes even more!  The photos were taken by Linda Blackwell Photography.

This layout was made using a new kit I got free on the MMS blog train.  It is “In Bloom” by Sweet Blossom Designs.

Here’s my Sunday night speed scrap.  I used a new “Make My Year” by Mandy King which was a freebie I got yesterday on the Cinco de Scrapo blog train.  Woo Woo!

This layout was made using all the papers & elements in the Use It All Challenge kit by Connie260.
