Part of the motivation of starting this website and blog was to have a place to share about my scrapbooking business and the opportunities I offer to my customers.  A little background in case you are new or didn’t know I had a scrapbooking business.

I started as an independent consultant in 2004 with Creative Memories and loved sharing traditional scrapbooking products and tools with my friends and family.  I was one of those that said “I am not creative” but oh how I loved photos and getting them in my albums plus as a consultant I had the privilege of sharing what I had learned through my own projects with others and helping them create albums of their own.  I learned quickly “creativity” was something different for each one of us and our style was what made our albums special.

I was excited to add digital scrapbooking to my list of skills and opportunities around 2007.  Having a central place like Memory Manager to store and organize all of my digital images on my computer and be able to tag in different categories so they were easy to find when I needed them was a huge blessing.  With the growing number of digital photos we have with digital photography, it can easily become overwhelming to figure out a system to store and organize your digital photos.  In addition to the photo organization, I also loved tapping into my creative side with Storybook Creator Plus and creating beautiful digital photo pages that I would later add to my photo album.  It was so easy and quick to get my photos onto the page and add the journalling and upload to print.

Over the last few years we sadly saw the Old CM close down and with that came the end of the support for the CM version of the programs we had grown to love.  The good news is that the original developer of the CM programs Panstoria is still alive and well and we can continue with all the things we loved about the CM digital products both the software and the Print Shop.  I am happy to share that I now am using Panstoria Historian and Artisan software and loving it.  I would love to help you get back up and going with your digital projects when you are ready.  You can come to any of my upcoming crops or workshops and ask questions or watch for upcoming Digital Photo Organization and Album Making opportunities.
