ATTENTION MEMORY MANAGER (MM) & STORYBOOK CREATOR (SBC OR SBC+) USERS! Time to Upgrade - Sale at Panstoria/Forever

(See below for sale info & promo code)
Are you still using CM’s Memory Manager and/or a version of Storybook Creator?
Panstoria (the company that created this software for CM) is now Forever and if you're still using Storybook Creator and/or Memory Manager you're going to want to make the switch to Artisan and/or Historian. While these "new' programs (created by Panstoria) are pretty much the same as SBC, SBC+ &/or MM,  the CM versions of these programs are no longer supported.  The time will come, sooner or later, when you won't be able to use SBC and/or MM. Also, after the end of January you will no longer be able to print directly from Storybook.  To continue to use these programs you’ll need to switch to Artisan (SBC+) and Historian (MM).  Forever/Panstoria has a fantastic sale going on right now - 30% off sitewide (including software) with the promo code SAVE30. I'm sad to say my days as an affiliate with Panstoria are coming to an end. I still love these programs, and will continue to use them, but I have no interest in the "forever" storage options. Unfortunately, you can't be an affiliate for one without the other - and it costs a pretty penny to join Forever, either as a customer or an affiliate. So, for now you can visit Panstoria/Forever via my affiliate link (and thank you for your support!). NOTE: DO NOT upgrade to Artisan 5 if you don't have a 64 bit version of Windows! You can upgrade to Artisan 4 if you have a 32 bit version.

Save 30% with promo code SAVE30 until Tuesday, December 1st at 11:59 Pacific Time.
I am happy to report that I had no issues switching to Artisan and Historian.  I switched over as soon as these programs were available.  My content came over seamlessly with the upgrade to Artisan 5 and Historian works with your existing Memory Vaults.  The switch was very painless. 


Artisan 5 has a lot of nice updates. Some of my favorites include:

• Two-page editing is a breeze!
• Alignment Guides – super easy to keep things lined up
• Strokes – these are photo & shape borders in different patterns
• Font manager – the ability to sort fonts on your computer into categories!

Where to go to for help with Artisan & Historian?

I have been a member of Pixels2Pages for a while now. They offer great support and some goodies each month, too.  They are my go-to spot when I have a question/issue with these programs. 

Click on “Resources” at the top of the page or some very helpful FREE support regarding these changes.

Changes Coming for Panstoria Affiliates

If you're a Panstoria Print Shop Affiliate - check your email for an update regarding the new program with Forever. The email came from Anna Broome using the email address of hello@forever.com.  My computer thought it was spam & put it in my junk folder.  For whatever reason they are not sending info to Panstoria Affiliates until October. I think this is something every Panstoria affiliate needs to know, especially since Forever will start charging to be an affiliate in October so I’ll post the information below. From what I can gather, if you would like to continue your affiliate (or ambassador – as they’re called by Forever) relationship you will need a permanent Forever membership beginning in October and those start at $5 per month.

Here is the info sent out to Print Shop Affiliates:

Hello XXX,

Last year, we announced that Panstoria had joined forces with Forever to offer our memory keepers one place to preserve, organize, print and share their photos, and soon videos and documents! Together, we are creating a unique opportunity for end-to-end story creation. You now have expanded opportunities to increase your income by selling additional offerings beyond print projects from Artisan and Historian.
For a limited time, we are excited to give you access to our Forever Ambassador Program FREE!
• Free introductory photo storage account
• Earn sales commissions at a rate of 15% or more
• Founder’s Club reward trips
• Training and education
• Advanced career opportunities

Link to sign up
Link to an email form to request more info

We thank you for your partnership and look forward to working together with you in the future.

For Panstoria customers, according to the Panstoria/Forever FAQs, the software will continue to be supported.  I do know that a new version of Historian (Memory Manager) is in the works. From all I’ve read this will most likely be a paid upgrade. 

I’ll update when I learn more.

Panstoria Purchases Creative Memories Digital Content (And A Sale)

Wahooo!!! An update from Panstoria:

For many months we have been asked by our customers, "Will I be able to buy Creative Memories digital content from Panstoria after the end of this year?"

We are happy to announce that the answer is YES! Panstoria has purchased Creative Memories' entire catalog of digital content packages. Because Panstoria now owns that digital content, the nearly 1,500 kits from Creative Memories that are in the Panstoria store will continue to be available for purchase along with the other beautiful art in the Panstoria store.

To celebrate that purchase, we're having a three-day SALE on all digital content in the store. Beginning at midnight tonight (Wed., Dec. 17) through midnight Saturday, Dec. 20, all content in the store will be marked down 25%. You will not see this appear as a discount in the shopping cart as the prices on the individual kits will already be marked down.

World Autism Awareness Day Blog Hop

Today is World Autism Awareness Day - a cause near & dear to my heart.   My oldest son, Richie, has Asperger's - or ASD as it's now called. My favorite way I've seen Autism described is that it's not a processing error - it's a different operating system.    

There is a great blog hop going on in honor of WAAD - here's a link to the first page. Lots of great freebies & information! 

I used content from Winks Art Graphics & Sweet Pea Designs to put this together this – Feel free to print or share it if you like.
