Ahni & Zoe makes blank pages available as of February 10, 2014

Ahni & Zoe has surrendered to the request for blank pages and page protectors....for some, a little too late as other alternatives have been found.

I personally found it very difficult to let any of my pages/pp in my current inventory go without knowing that I could replace them.

I can now offer to sell some of my inventory and replace with the products Ahni & Zoe is now selling.

You can order your pages/page protectors directly from my website and have them shipped to you or contact me directly to fill your order storybookcreator@gmail.com

If you place an order on or before Feb 28th, 2014 - please enter under host Adriana Mederos at checkout and you will be entered into a special drawing.

www.ahniandzoe.com/adrianamederos
Shop
then look in the Other category
These pages and page protectors will fit the former CM 12x12 True albums as well as the new A&Z 12x12 albums.

Bundles of pages and page protectors are $29.50.  At first glance you might think you are paying a higher premium, but you really aren't.  Older packages had 15 pages/pp, these have 16...so the difference is just a few pennies per page protector.

You can also purchase extra packs of page protectors for $10.50.  Again 16 per pack.  This is great if you've found an extra album or set of pages you didn't take into account in your last page.

Happy New Year!

2013 Holidays are over and it's time to get serious about working the new business.

Ahni & Zoe by Creative Memories.  Product line can be seen on my website www.ahni&zoe.com/adrianamederos.

Products are limited to a few fast to fabulous albums, coversets with slide in pages for horizontal, vertical or 12x12 papers.  Options are limited to assist people in buying and actually completing an album with their photos.

The inawink app isn't available yet...no date on when it will be...but it appears to have some GREAT features for people who don't do anything with photos other than take them.

If you got into digital scrapbooking thanks to CM, you can continue with me and my Panstoria software and art kits...but please contact me before buying anything so you understand what you are buying.

Scrapbooking retreat in Fort Lauderdale Friday, January 31 until Sunday, February 2 still has a few openings.

Ahni & Zoe by Creative Memories

Well, we now know what the new CM will look like.

Details can be read, listened to and reviewed on www.creativememories.com as of Monday, Oct 21, 2013.

It's what I expected, a more simplified product line and party plan to attempt to attract a wider audience, but unfortunately we've left the loyal traditional scrapbookers and digital scrapbookers in the dust.

I plan to support traditional and digital scrapbookers by continuing to schedule day and weekend scrapbooking workshops/retreats, but at some point my in stock inventory will run out and I will just have tape runners, refills, pens and fast to fabulous albums, pages and refills.

I'm still doing digital scrapbooking with Storybook Creator software and would encourage you to do the same because the software is AWESOME...and if you didn't get a chance to purchase it, you can now purchase Panstoria's software using the links on THIS blog.  This is how I will get credit for the sale, so I would appreciate your support so I can continue doing what I love to do - help others with their photo projects.

Please don't hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

and now lets go to Croptoberfest 2013!  Over 60 participants ready to spend the day working on their photo projects

Just under 3 days left...

I'm cohosting a 3 day retreat in Naples, FL this weekend...our final retreat with Creative Memories (as we know it).

This is the last chance to place orders (for any product that might remain in the warehouse), order digital projects from the CM digital center, the final chance to use any product credits that haven't expired.

www.creativememories.com will be shutdown after Monday, September 23rd, 2013.

My June/July/August orders FINALLY started arriving.  The UPS man was coming daily for a few weeks there...only 1 shipment remains and then I'm done...until the next adventure is unveiled.

In the meantime, I will continue to offer crops at my home (once I find the right dates), scheduled Croptoberfest in Delray Beach for Saturday, Oct 26th and I'm searching for a location for a January/February 3 day retreat.

I also started a new little gig to buy some gifts at cost and have a little fun with my friends --> www.hootwme.origamiowl.com   This will never replace my passion for taking and preserving pictures and stories, but it's another fun way to tell your story, with jewelry...and who wouldn't want to host./attend a Jewelry Bar!

Happy Labor Day!

I hope everyone is enjoying the day off from work - if you were so lucky to get a Holiday today.

Creative Memories retracted their decision to end contracts on 8/31/2013, so I'm still an active Creative Memories Independent Consultant.

Customers are no longer able to order off my website www.mycmsite.com/adrianamederos, but I can still place orders on their behalf...so if there's something you can't live without, please let me know so I can do my best to get it for you.

I'm still waiting for June-August orders to ship, but CM assures us that they will be moving out of the warehouse this month...anxiously waiting for UPS notices and for brown to appear in my driveway with packages for me and my customers.

The Pixels2Pages event in Delray was AWESOME.  The training was excellent.  Highly recommend it if it ever comes to your area.

The Naples Scrapbooking Weekend Sep 20-22 will be just as awesome.  Our official farewell to CM as we know it.  Something will emerge Nov 1st, we just don't have details on WHAT that will be...

CM as we know it will cease to exist as of September 23, 2013

I'm back...really I am this time...

3 years after I started this blog, I'm back again and for a similar reason.

Creative Memories (aka CM).

I've been an Indpendent Consultant for CM for over 13 years.  Buying quality scrapbooking tools, teaching great techniques to get it done to hundreds of people...and now CM as we know it might cease to exist after this Fall...

I still plan on offering scrapbooking workshops, one on ones, weekend retreats...so I needed a place for people to see what I was up to - hence the blog update.

I'm still not 100% on where this blog will go, but for now use it as another reference.

You can continue to order CM products from my website, but please note that all traditional products are while supplies last WSL.  Please contact me BEFORE purchasing any digital products as I want you to be 100% aware of what could/will happen in the next few months with that

www.mycmsite.com/adrianamederos  It will be a sad day when this link no longer works...

You can also check some of my posts on Facebook if you happen to go there http://www.facebook.com/#!/ABCsOfPhotos
