Did you ever wonder how easy it could be to alter a photo using Storybook Creator or Artisan software?  Here we needed a photo of my friends' brother and sister in law, but she did NOT need the auntie in the middle.  In my opinion, she didn't need the tree stump in the background either.  With a little cloning and recreating we were able to eliminate backgrounds and persons, add a double mat and a lovely word art saying to make a 5x7 worthy of a frame and place of honor in her living room.  I Love working digital miracles.

For our October theme, join me in creating some stunning pages using the Word Merge Technique.
What kind of pages can you create using this Technique?  These also make great Custom Covers for your digital storybooks.  I love making some for display using my Everyday Display boards.

Have questions related to CM Software?

October 9, 2013 at 12:10pm

Have questions related to CM Software? Here are a few points of clarification/things to consider related to the software:

Creative Memories and Panstoria are continuing to work together to transition existing Storybook Creator and Memory Manager customers to Panstoria, per our agreement before the Court dated September 26, 2013.

• Panstoria has not “closed” the software, and has made a public commitment not to do so. Please do not give credence to rumors to the contrary.

• Panstoria has offered the Panstoria Print Shop to enable customers to print from Storybook Creator. An update needs to be applied to your software to make this feature usable; please see the News Feed within your software for instructions.

• Creative Memories is no longer offering digital printing from Storybook Creator, and CM has no immediate plans in the works to offer digital printing. We encourage our former StoryBook Creator customers to try the Panstoria Print Shop for their digital printing needs.

• Creative Memories Consultants should determine whether signing up as a Panstoria affiliate is right for their unique circumstances or not.  Only individual Consultants can make this determination.

The Creative Memories team is putting all of our efforts into our renewal and re-launch. We’re excited about our future, and wish Panstoria and all of our former digital customers all the best as they move forward.

Thank you,
Chris Veit
CEO

I love our little town of Woodland, especially in April when we have the Tulip Festival.  People come from all around to enjoy the lovely acres of color and beauty.

I am happy to announce that we will be able to get updates and printing capabilities  as we continue using Storybook Creator and Memory Manager.

New fall pages and designs will be coming this week.
Here is a challenge for you to try.  Start with a predesigned page in Storybook Creator or Artisan.
1. Add 3 photos
2. Make one of the photos the central theme for the page
3. Take another photo and make it be the background
4.  Add embellishments
5.  Give a title and a story.
Share your post with us here and let's share some great ideas.
 I am also excited to offer the Pixels2Pages website:  www.pixels2Pages.net
They have a free trial site to check out at http://www.pixels2pages.net/free-trial/ and they also offer a membership link: http://www.pixels2pages.net/membership/

  

Continuing Digital Designs

Looking at the bigger picture.  Have I ever told you there is power in the right click?  You know I have.  I love digital expressions.  I love being able to create and design either for myself or for others.  I have been so incredibly blessed to be able to come along side people who have a dream.  I help them make that dream become a reality.  Are you overwhelmed with a project that involves photos? Let me help. What do you want to do with your photos?  Display them?  Make a photo album?  Make a Digital Book?  Let's look at the options together and see what dreams you might have that can become a reality.
