Like many scrapbookers, you probably have precious family memories—photos, albums, slides, negatives and home movies—just sitting in boxes. These memories, both old and new, are likely the heart of why you scrapbook, but because of their condition or format, aren't being used. This is where ScanDigital, the world's premier photo digitization service, comes to the rescue.

You just send ScanDigital your photos, scrapbooks, scrapbook pages (up to 12x17), slides, negatives and home movies, and ScanDigital provides high-quality scans and provides them to you both in digital format (DVD or CD) and through their online gallery. Using their fully interactive online gallery, you can share your photos with friends and family, upload additional digital images to complete your digital gallery, order reprints, and order other print products (i.e. mugs, key chains, T-shirts) through their print partner Qoop. With ScanDigital, you can preserve, share and enjoy your memories forever. 

We at Memory Makers know ScanDigital provides a great user experience, because ScanDigital scanned, color corrected and processed the majority of layouts in our 2009 issues. Our contributors sent requested layouts directly to ScanDigital, and ScanDigital handled the rest. We couldn't have been happier with the process and the results.

Good news! ScanDigital is generously giving a $250 credit to one winner randomly selected electronically. For details and to enter, click here. The contest ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT Thursday, June 25.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Best,
Beth
