Say G'day Saturday Linky Party!

Welcome friends to this weekend's Say G'day Saturday Linky Party!


This week I have found some great crafty ideas. You see, I've just discovered digital scrap-booking (more about that later!) and this has opened up a whole new world of ideas for me!

Look at this brilliant idea! Running a lunch bag through the printer! (DIY gift bags/party favors)

Here's a great idea for Thanksgiving. Write notes about what you're grateful for on left over scrap-booking paper and add it to a paper chain. From bhg.com

Halloween is coming up soon and there are so many great ideas being pinned already. Look at this!

This site is fantastic for a beginner like me. It's all about how to get started in digital scrap-booking! sahlinstudio.blogspot.com


I never knew that I had it in me to be so crafty. I can cook and I can blog but it wasn't until I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to review My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbook Software that I realised that I can craft and scrap-book!

My Memories is a digital scrapbook software company that is extremely easy and fun to use. My Memories Suite helps anyone create digital scrapbooks, cards, calendars, etc. without having to buy expensive programs and then learn how to use the software.

After exploring this program and making a few projects of my own I can see I might just have found myself a new hobby!  I put together some Christmas pages as an experiment and I loved how easy it was to just click, wait and hey presto, there's a page!


Click, wait and hey presto here's another page! This was so easy! Once the layout is done, I can just print it out on my home printer or convert it to a JPEG file and have it printed at a store just as I would with regular photos.



I am also hosting a give-away of their software, 
My Memories Suite!

My Memories Suite is rated #1 by amazon and TopTen Reviews for digital scrapbooking software and the prize is $40 value! With My Memories you will be able to create digital scrapbooks, cards, calendars and more, with enhancements like music, narration, video and Internet.

Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find.

  1. Natasha, what a great idea to print the bags. I'm going to do this! Smiled when I saw the lollipop ghosts. Made those for my students every year. ;-)

  2. I must be a trend setter ;) When I was 14 I started a jewellery stall at the markets and I printed my 'logo' on paper bags. I did it last year for a Halloween party too! Easy and looks great.

  11. So many cool ideas! I love the office in a closet. :) My "office" is a built-in desk in our kitchen so I've always got to keep it tidy, or at least make the attempt! ;)

    Blessings to you today!

  13. Natasha,

    Oh my! So many pretty things from pinterest. I've joined but not done any pinning yet. I love the canning jars and the pumpkins are so pretty. I'm visiting for Pink Saturday. I'd love to have you pop in for a visit.

    Pink Sparkles,

  15. Just wanted to say hello & how cute all those images are - i wonder if people who have the time to wrap all their ribbons like that actually have time to use them?? FYI i peg my ribbons & do use them but it drives me bonkers to maintain the 'look'. Love Posie

  16. You are blessed to have such talent to create these pretty things. I missed the boat when they handed out a creative mind.

  19. Hey Natasha! Love the painted pumpkins - the old many floors house reminds me of Pennsylvania.

    I went over to My Memories and liked Batter Batter Strike (think that was the title!). Our grandson is really into baseball. In fact, Doug (hubby) is taking grandson and his dad to see the Cincinnati Reds play tomorrow night!

  26. Hi Natasha, how are you? Been watching your "Pinning and Singing" linky party for a couple weeks now but never enough time to submit something. I've done it today. Thanks for having me.

    Also, I've printed colouring pages on brown paper bags for the kid's loot bags and a few colouring pencils, lollies etc and they've gone down a treat.

    Have had enough of the rain this week and am ready for Spring.

  37. I visited My Memories and was amazed by their huge selection. I'll have to admit that I know nothing about digital scrapbooking. My favorite paper was Harvest Pickins. But I have been pinning like crazy lately. Glad to know that you're hosting this party.

  40. Thanks for hosting this fun event each week, Natasha.

    I adore Natasha Beddingfield. I have my ribbons on wood clothespins in jars, too.

  41. Great idea printing on those bags, I guess you could print straight onto coloured bags too which could be cute. I am yet to join Pinterest but it's way up there on my to-do list as I have folders of saved images on my computer taking up WAY too much room :)
