One of my goals for 2011 was to stay on top of my digital photos & scrapbook more. I use Creative Memories Memory Manager software to organize & store all my digital media. I love it! In addition to the program automatically storing them by date (down to the day taken), I am also able to create personalized folders (I create). So I can either browse by date or person, event, topic, etc. If I have a picture of all the boys playing baseball I can store it in each of their folders & in the baseball folder. The best part is that it only takes up the space for 1 picture on my computer memory. I am very proud to say ALL my digital media is officially organized! YAY!
For the past year I have been using a digital scrapbooking software, Storybook Creator (also by CM). I love it! But since I have began doing a little photography semiprofessionally, I decided to purchase Photoshop Elements 8 for editing purposes. Then I found the LIFE 365, Sweet & Simple, & now Every Day Life templates at Weeds & Wildflower Designs. They are PS files. Seriously, how hard could this be? I’ve heard great things about the program & consider myself rather up to speed with techie stuff. Ummm, not so much! Within a week I ordered Photoshop Elements 8 For Dummies. It is torture!!! I have such wonderful plans for the FREE Coffee shop Actions for my pictures. I dream of the fabulous digi pages I can create. I would love to be able to do all the great things I hear & see others creating with PSE. And I HATE that I can’t do it. It took me HOURS to create these two VERY simple “Every Day” pages . . .
I think I might just have the very basics down at this point. Next is my weekly homeschool update!

I hear you! I think scrapping with PSE is so hard. I almost always use my CM software. I've been interested in the Memory Manager sotware, too. Glad to hear that you like it!
