Creative Memories Digital Center

I just wanted to pass along some information to everyone regarding the Creative Memories Digital Center. www.creativememories.com/digital is the address.

You can find ALOT of gift ideas including, mugs, shirts, calendars, wall prints, 8x4 cards and more.
When you prebuy 750 prints it costs you $90 which turns out to be 12 cents a print for the 4x6 or 4xD sizes. This is comparable to many other photo developing sites and places.

Here is also where your Storybooks and Page Prints are ordered from. You will also see at the Digital Center the ability to make a calendar, page prints, and cards with out having the Storybook Software, all you have to do it upload the photo or photos you want and it will take you through the process using predesigned templates.

So go check out www.creativememories.com/digital and see what options it has for you and your photos and memories.

What has you stumped?

So many of us can get easily "hung up" on something we are working on. So my question today is "What is your hang up?"
Do you not know where to go next? Why not think of the solutions to your "hang-up". Maybe you don't like the method you are using. Why not try another way.
The wonderful thing is.. There are many different ways! Each of us are different; with our own interests and talents.

So if you need help getting "un-hung" don't hesitate to give me a call.

The options for you are endless.... traditional, digital, quick, sliding, and more, because it is

Your Life/ Your Story/ Your Way!

Tuesday Workshop

Just a reminder that Naomi W. will be hosting a workshop Tuesday from 9-4. All are invited, please just call me to let me know if you can make it! Thanks!


Here is a page layout that was created on Storybook 3.0, using the Cottage Garden Content Collection. I also did this page (and the others that go along with it..) using the Auto populate feature on Storybook 3.0. I have done that 2 times now and I really like how it has worked out. I first select my pictures in Memory Manager and then "share" them into Storybook it will give me the option to create a new project or add to the current project. I then chose the option to Auto-populate my pages using the pictures I just imported. It then fills the pre-designed pages you have selected by date and time order. I highly recommend giving this a try. You may have to make minor adjustments but it saves alot of time!
