I am excited to continue with our digital journey together.  Here is a link to Panstoria if you want to buy either Historian or Artisan.  Basically Panstoria is the maker of Creative Memories software. To make it easier to explain think of it like this (CM) Memory Manager = (Panstoria) Historian  and (CM) Storybook Creator = (Panstoria) Artisan.  All your vaults will open up in Historian.  I upgraded and navigated to my vault seamlessly.  It all came over into Historian quickly and easily.  We also had good success opening all the projects and paper and artwork into Artisan.  Voila, still works like a charm.  Happy Scrapping!
Here is a link to Panstoria with my affiliate link.  Just copy and paste to get to Panstoria's site.

We are so excited to announce the birth of our very first grandson!  Welcome Little Man.

Merry Christmas

December is zooming by at my house.  I am still finding a place to put things in my new house.  One thing I was happy to find yesterday was the really old, original Spritz maker.  It worked like a charm as we made Christmas cookies to share with neighbors.  Here is a sample page of some of our famous baking.

We are in countdown mode till our first little grandson is born and we are getting so very excited.  Merry Christmas to all and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

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.
