Important announcement for CM Storybook Creator and Panstoria Artisan users
 
If you LOVE your scrapbooking software, here's an opportunity to personally THANK Panstoria for stepping in when CM left it behind.  Buy digital content and print your digital projects a the Panstoria Print Shop.

Assuming you have the latest Storybook Creator update, your ORDER button should be pointing to the Panstoria Print Shop website for your digital items to print. 
 
If you haven't printed from Panstoria's Print Shop, be sure to use this link when setting up a new account to link up with my Affiliation account https://panstoriaprintshop.com/index.php?route=account%2Fregister&tracking=5310bbc0157ab
 
If you already have a Panstoria Print Shop account, but no one to Affiliate with, you... can click on this link to connect our accounts --> https://panstoriaprintshop.com/?tracking=5310bbc0157ab
 
I will gladly offer a 5% rebate on all Print Shop orders made through June 2014.

I'd also like to remind all my digital folks that CM content is available for purchase on the Panstoria website through December 2014 * NEW INFO *. 

Here's a link to the PDFs of content offered...cute stuff!  http://www.panstoria.com/store/pdf_preview_links

If interested in purchasing - please go to the digital content via the links on this blog...  somewhere over there -->

The prices offered by Panstoria are very reasonable, much less than Creative Memories offered or even Heritage Makers Gold Club pricing on most items.

Some of the Print Shop favorites include:
  • 8x8 storybook (hard and soft covers)
  • 12x12 page prints
  • 12x12 storybook

More changes for Ahni & Zoe...

Last week Co-Founder of Creative Memories Rhonda Anderson resigned from Ahni & Zoe creating a max exodus of many long time CM leaders.

They are going to Heritage Makers with the promise that the parent company will work with Rhonda to create the CM products everyone loved...the ones Ahni & Zoe chose not to keep or make.

Not sure what is going to happen or when...but I'm staying right where I am.
  • I have lots of CM inventory to use and sell
  • I LOVE my CM software and it still works and does everything I need it to do thanks to Panstoria (the original authors of the CM software)
  • Starting March 3rd I'll be an official affiliate with Panstoria Print Shop and eligible for a 10% discount on my future purchases so I can continue to click on the ORDER button from the software I use and love.
This last move has created a HUGE divide between former CMCs, A&Z reps and now the HM Rhonda followers (PS, some CMCs got there first so it wouldn't be fair to stereotype them all).

Sadly...we all just want to preserve photos and stories and have fun with friends while doing it...but some need to really MAKE $ from this business, while others are truly just following their heart.

Reminder - you can click on any of the links on this blog for Panstoria software and content and I will receive credit for the sale (thank you in advance)...and early next week I'll be sure to post a link/instructions for linking Panstoria Print Shop orders to me, if you so choose.

Unfortunately, this past year has been like a soap opera...so thank you for sticking with me!

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
