Quite a few people have contacted me with questions about the programs I use to do photo editing and digital pages and projects. I use the two Creative Memories programs, Memory Manager 3.0 for photo organization and editing and Storybook Creator Plus 3.0 for digital scrapbooking and other projects. These programs are quite powerful and offer sophisticated options but are quite easy to use with lots of great support on the Creative Memories sites.
The two programs are independent - you do not need to use both if you are happy with your photo organization and editing. You can easily import your photos into the StoryBook program even if you edit them in another program. There are also some basic photo editing options in the StoryBook program.
I posted some digital pages a few days ago (HERE) and then I found out that Creative Memories is offering a "Digi WOW" sale for the month of August. The StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 (for PC) and the sbcStudio (for Mac) are 50% off (sale price $32.48) for the download version (no shipping costs!). All of the downloadable digital content for both programs is also on sale at 30% off. I am a Creative Memories consultant and i would be happy to help you with an order if you do not have a local consultant that you work with.
I did a few quick pages for this post with some photos of another neighborhood friend. I think little girls in tutus look so cute!
There is a lot of information about these programs on the site HERE. You can find videos about various functions and more help on the training tab HERE.
A new upgrade to StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 (it will be 4.0) is coming soon. I don't know all of the details yet but in the past there has been a specially priced offer for the program upgrades when they are introduced. If you don't have version 3.0 you won't be able to upgrade to 4.0 from 2.0. There is also a 50% sale discount on the upgrade (sale price $9.98) so people with the older program will be ready for the upgrade to 4.0. Details about the price and timing of the upgrade will be announced at the Creative Memories Annual Showcase later this month.
You can find more details about the "Digi WOW" sale on my CM personal website HERE. To get a really good look at the digital content, click HERE to find the index of PDFs for all of the various options.
The sale will run until the end of August so there is plenty of time to contact me for help with any questions you may have. I will be more available next week - things are chaotic here with the floor resurfacing and I will soon be blocked from entering my craftroom - but I will have a laptop with me!

Diane- You have the cutest children in your neighborhood. I have not tried digital pages but you do such great things I may have to consider giving it a try. TFS.
ReplyDeleteI have Memory Manager and Storybook Creator, and I like them a lot. I haven't had much time to really dig in and learn all there is to know yet, but I will! My consultant shared a site that has been very helpful with Storybook Creator. It is called Pixels2Pages. There are tons of videos on there from beginner to advanced. Just thought I would share it with you. The site is designed specifically for Storybook Creator.

I purchased both of those programs a few years ago and I love them both - digital scrapbooking can be lots of fun! Thanks for the heads up on the sale!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to try digital scrapbooking, but I'm going to. My daughter does it all the time and even designs for various digital scrapbook companies and I just love the pages she does.
ReplyDeleteI use PhotoShop and Elements, yet still constantly turn to Storybook for the fun and ease. Love it (though not thrilled with CM's crackdown on sharing created templates).
