The next generation of digital scrapbooking is about to appear. Lasting Impressions for Paper, Inc., the leading manufacturer of embossing templates, unveiled MemoryMixer at Memory Trends. They’re calling Memory Mixer “the industry’s first truly digital scrapbooking product.”

According to their website, MemoryMixer will allow people to combine digital video, digital sound, digital photos, computer graphics, typewritten text using their fonts, and narration capabilities into a multimedia experience that brings memories to life. In addition, the product allows for digitally scanned memorabilia such as report cards, diplomas, ticket stubs, or a child’s drawing and has multiple output options that include DVD, CD, hardbound book and traditional print.

Wow. Sounds cool. Even Lisa Bearnson, founder of Creative Keepsakes Magazine thinks so - she said “Lasting Impressions has introduced a product that will truly revolutionize the scrapbooking industry. The average home has at least a gigabyte of digital photos stored on computer with a limited number of creative ways to enjoy them and share them. MemoryMixer offers families a way to present, narrate and share their favorite photos.”

MemoryMixer will be available in January 2006 and they’re saying it will be “competitively priced for a broad consumer audience.” Wonder what that means exactly…
