Decorate Like a Professional with 3M Canada’s Command Brand Products

I absolutely love decorating for Christmas but it can be hard sometimes to get that neat and tidy look that I want. Sticky tack can peel off paint, push pins put holes in the walls, tape can damage both the wall finish and the item I’m hanging…there are so many challenges when getting my home holiday-ready.

That’s why I was delighted when 3M’s Command Brand shared some of its favourite tips for making Christmas decorating easy and effective. There’s no dilemma too big for Command!

Create, Edit and Share Your Media in a Snap with Roxio Creator NXT-Giveaway

With Christmas quickly approaching, capturing and sharing all those special holiday memories is so important. And when the time comes to edit and share those photos and videos, I want them to look their best. So when I got the chance to review the newest version of the Roxio Creator NXT digital media suite, I knew I would put it to plenty of use in the coming weeks.

roxio creator nxtRoxio Creator NXT is the ultimate do-it-all program for family media. From music to data to videos, this software has all the features you need to create and share with friends and family. I installed the software and sat down to explore exactly what Roxio Creator could do.

The first thing that I appreciated about the software was that it included video tutorials. I don’t have a whole lot of experience with editing and so I really liked the fact that I could learn how to create better photos, videos and music compilations quickly and easily.

Roxio Creator NXT also allows you to capture streaming video from sites such as YouTube and convert videos to different formats so that they can be enjoyed on a variety of devices. Having one program that could do so much with my media was incredibly convenient. And Roxio Creator even includes the incredibly popular PhotoShop Pro X4 photo editing software! [Read more...]

Heart with Border Photo Pendant Picture CharmI decided to personalize the pendant with a picture of my boys taken earlier in the year.

The picture I chose had the boys’ faces a little far apart but I knew that PicturesOnGold would take out the extra space in between the boys to create a gorgeous pendant featuring both of them.
