Resources for Memory Manager and Storybook Creator Plus

It’s no secret that I love Storybook Creator Plus (SBC+) and Memory Manager (MM).  These programs let you easily organize & edit your photos (MM) and create beautiful digital projects with just a few clicks of your mouse (SBC+).  These programs are very easy to use but just getting started sometimes can be overwhelming.  Luckily there are tons of resources for learning how to use these great programs!

Want to see what you can do with these programs? You filter which posts you are viewing by clicking on the categories listed under “Labels” on the lower right hand side of this blog. 

As your Creative Memories Consultant I’m also one of your resources!  I don’t want to just sell you stuff – I want to help you complete your projects!

When you are a digital customer of mine I’ll send you links to digital content to thank you for your business.

Paper + Digital = Hybrid!

Being a Creative Memories Consultant I sometimes decorate blank albums with new product to have on display. I try to use products that I will be able to use myself but sometimes I make things with no end project in mind. When the Cherish papers came out I fell in love with them and couldn’t wait to play with them! I just love the richness of the colors and the patterns in this line. CM had a Cherish kit for a 7x7 album – complete with pre-cut pages, stickers, vellum shapes and an idea for each page (I love not having to re-invent the wheel!) I made up the album just like the examples shown in the book that came with the kit. I showed it off & then it sat on my shelf for a loooong time :)

My 10 year wedding anniversary was last September & I knew I wanted to do an album for my husband but wanted to keep it simple. He's not a scrapbooker & barely tolerates having his picture taken ;) I pulled out the Cherish album that was just waiting for photos & decided to fill it with pictures of us throughout the years. I used Memory Manager to sort through the thousands of pictures I have to find favorites of Rich & I together (this is super easy to do if you tag your photos in Memory Manager). I imported those into Storybook Creator Plus and then converted them to sepia. I added some digital elements from the Cherish Digital kit (which is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD here) and others that coordinated (mostly from the Romance digital kit) and a few other embellishments (from the digital freebies on the CM Project Center) and then printed them out 4x6” an put them into my Cherish album.

Here are a few pictures I used in the album:

This one uses a free photo mask from the CM Project Center

 

This one I used the magic wand tool to remove all the color from the picture, except for the flowers. 

A few pictures of the album pages:

Super easy & quick.

The Cherish 7x7 kit isn’t available anymore but the 12x12ish paper is – you can find it here (while supplies last) in the clearance section of my CM website at a fantastic price!

I love this album & so did Rich! Hope you like it, too!

Digital Done in Four Webinars by CM

Do you have digital photos? Need help organizing them?? Are you curious about digital scrapbooking? I am so excited about this series of live Web classes that CM is offering. These webinars will guide you through the process of organizing your photos and completing your first Storybook project. Even if you do not plan on ordering a Storybook - these great webinars are an easy, free way to learn about digital scrapbooking & organizing.

There are 4 sessions and each session is offered a variety of times & dates. Different CMCs will be doing the training so if you have time, you may want to sit in on more than one webinar - each CMC will offer her own tips & tricks.

Start with the Right Tools
Digital Done-in-Four Webinars will use Memory Manager 2.0 and StoryBook Creator Plus software. For a sneak peek of what you’ll be learning, check out the short video, It’s a Digital Life.

These Webinars have been recorded! Click here to listen to them at your convenience.
