1. My Memories Suite by Polaroid
My Memories by Polaroid
A newcomer to digital scrapbooking, it got top honors at TopTenREVIEWS as the "new standard for scrapbooking software suites". A lot more expensive (you can even pay in installments), in addition to traditional print options it's loaded with multimedia features for Email, Web, DVD, and iPod Movie output as well. Multiple discs offer specific themes such as "Family Times" and "Travel & Wedding Designer" plus more templates available for purchase. For an additional $40 you can also get 26 page hardbound personalized photobook and 4 personalized greeting cards in the Deluxe Suite. Overkill for some, a must-have for others. Released October 2007
