Zutter - New additions to the amazing Bind-it-All machine include brown and white bindings. With Bind-It-All the possibilities are endless, just use your creativity and see what happens!

Memory Mixer - Memory Mixer by Lasting Impressions for Paper is a solid solution for the novice digital scrapper, especially one coming from a traditional paper scrapbook background. The application can be used to create the usual paper layout styles, but it also allows the user to incorporate multimedia features, creating CD and DVD slide shows with music, narration, movies and even Web hotspots. Layouts can be output for home printing, or for uploading to commercial book and photo printing.

Memory Mixer was created by the folks at Lasting Impressions, along with StoryRock, the world's largest provider of digital yearbook technology for schools. This influence can be felt from the instant you install Memory Mixer - the graphical interface is streamlined, and yes, a little cutesy, but not too sweet.

Memory Mixer is NOT an full-featured image editor. It's more of a page layout tool, with multimedia interactivity added. You won't be creating your own components in Memory Mixer, but you can do a bang-up job assembling pages with the included resources, or your own files.

The QuickMix option creates an album of pre-made templates - you can add your photos in seconds, and then create your final output from that point. If you are brand new to digital scrapbooking, this might be a good place for you to start - the built-in templates are excellent, and there is still a lot of flexibility (you can resize and re-position everything in the layout, so you aren't locked in to a single design option.)

A couple neat little features - a built in spell checker (yay!) and a nifty little reminder in the status bar to tell you how big in file size your layout is getting - in case you want to burn to CD, you don't want to go over 600 mb. In the Finalize step, you can also check for errors - an error log will show any corrupt files, and you can even see what fonts you used, in case you like to keep track of that stuff!

If you're a novice digital scrapbooker, this is an ideal first tool. If you've got some experience, you still can make good use of this tool for its slide show and multimedia capabilities - and it's a lot of fun to work with!
