Creative Memories ~ More Than Just A Paper Company

I have been scrapbooking in one way or another since I was in high school. I have all the cards and momentos from my husband while we were dating glued in a big old fashioned yellow paper scrapbook. Keeping up with all the photos and scrapbooking for 4 kids is extremely hard to do. I have to say I honestly have not scrapbooked since I went away for a weekend event almost 2 years ago!
When I started blogging I found out some things about digital scrapbooking and Photo Shop, but I have only tried to do a few pages and have not been overly excited about how they turned out. I was so excited when I found out Creative Memories was one of the sponsors for the Type A Mom conference last month, I was hoping maybe we would get some cute paper or a nice pen (althought I am really bad at journaling). Much to my surprise Creative Memories exceeded my expectations by giving each attendee a copy of their digital scrapbooking software Story Book Creator 3.0 and a really cute laptop sleeve.
