Memory Mixer Digital Scrapbooking

[ilovemickeymost]

Does anyone else have/use this program? I saw them on QVC, but am computer stupid. So was worried that I wouldn't be able to get the program to work. So, I went to memorymix.com to find out more about it & see what paper & embellishments they offered. They offered a free 30 day trial, so I knew I had to try it. The 1st time I used it, I did 12 pgs in an hour. Amazing. My favorite feature is the predone pages. It has a blank spot for my pic. I just click on the spot & it takes me instantly to "MY PHOTOS" that's already part of my documents section on my computer. I pick a photo & it pops in instantly. I can crop it or reverse it, etc right then. The other thing I love it that I can use m photos as the background paper for the page. I can't wait to do this w/ a pic of the castle. Also, anything you scan, can be used on a page. So, I'm starting to scan some of Disney paper & stickers, etc & burning them to a rewriteable CD. That way they don't take up space on my computer, but I still have them when I want to use them. I signed up for their newsletter. Once a week, they give a tutorial on one of the features on the program. & shows step by step how to use it (w/ pics). Lord I need the pics b/c I'm very visual. They also offer a few kits, but you can shop all of the many they offer all the time. I tried the free CM one. I lasted about 10 minutes on it & realized that mine was way easier. I'd love to get some other dissers who use this program. I want to learn new stuff that I can do w/ mine.

I use LifeTimez, which is a limited edition version of this same software. I've enjoyed the ease of it.

I have been looking at this software for days...and I searched google for reviews and came up with this thread! What I'm not sure of (because I have no time and even less patience ) is if there is a place to d/l Disney pages, embellishments? Is that even possible. I can't find anything on the website for a free trial - so I'm hesitant to spend that kind of money without knowing what it can do.

You can download digi elements from just about anywhere and add them.
As long as they are jpeg or png, you'll be fine.

I just realized this week that there isn't a free trial anymore. I would google it again & see if you can come up w/ a few more reviews. I found two before I bought the program. And they had step by step directions on how to do everything. But, from personal experience, it is soooo easy to use. The program doesn't have Disney pages or elements. But what you can do is anytime you find an image you want to use, save it to your "photos" section of your computer & they you can use it whenever you want. You can even use a photo you took at WDW as the background paper for a page just by clicking on it. And there is a weekly newsletter that shows you step by step how to use different elements of the program. If you're still not convienced you want to spend the money, you can download creative memories program (storybook creator 2.) for free & buy the digital predesigned Disney pages for $8. There are 30 pgs in the 12x12 size, not sure w/ the others. I'm not sure what format they are in, so not sure if they would work w/ memory mixer. The only thing w/ the free program is that you can't change anything on the predesigned pgs. Personally, I like the CM stuff better, but find the program harder touse than the memory mixer. I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please feel free to PM me.

Do you know if CM stuff is in either of those formats? I really love their papers & predisigned pages, but I love memory mixer program. And CM is really expensive to print books. Someone posted that you can have your books printed w/ any of the other companies even if its produced w/ the CM program. Any insight would be wonderful.
