Memory Manager 3.0

Yesterday, my friend Kerry and I were talking about digital scrapbooking--which makes sense since since digital scrapbooking has become my preferred method since my daughter was born and Kerry is quite the digital scrapping queen. (The ironic part of this conversation was that it took place while were working on our traditional scrapbooks. Go figure!) Anyway, the one thing I think Creative Memories does excel in is digital scrapbooking.

I'll probably be posting quite a bit on digital scrapbooking in the future, so I won't do a whole run-down of it here. I will, however, start with the Memory Manager 3.0 software. Why start there? Two reasons:
1 - I've been using it sort of half-heartedly and am working of become more proficient with it myself. (And, I'm typing this while it backs up my pictures).
2 - It's really the "first step" in CM's digital scrapbooking.

Memory Manager 3.0 is actually not a digital scrapbooking program. It's a photo organizing program--which, let's face it, we need to organize our photos before we do anything with them. So, first steps first. I've always had my own system for organizing pictures, which was--well, okay. Not great. However, since our photo volume has exploded in the last 8 months, I figured I'd better step up and start using the "real stuff."

Okay, since I'm not an expert on this, I'm not going to give you all the sales pitch. However, if you'd like the sales pitch, click on over to this video from Creative Memories (and if you are sold on it, you can order it from my website).

I will tell you, though, that I'm working the program! Okay, right now I'm mostly just indexing my pictures. Once I'm caught up (well, since the beginning of 2009 on. I'll work backwards once I have that done), I'll get all artistic on some pics for you all and post them here so you can see the wonders of Memory Manager. Oh, what fun!
