Is it time to upgrade your CM software to Panstoria software?

Maybe...at this time it's still a personal choice, but here's some information to help you make an educated choice..

Memory Manager or Historian?

• Memory Manager 3.0 and 4.0 still work just fine if you installed and activated before 12/31/2013
• No further updates are available, so whatever bugs the software has will continue
• Backing up your vault is critical, lose that and you will lose all your pictures and all the tagging, ranking and journaling you may have done in the vault
• An upgrade to the OS or even some Windows updates could force you to reinstall the software, making it unusable after 12/31/2013
• No support is available other than existing knowledge base of former CM Consultants like myself 
• Historian just got some new updates, including the Perfectly Clear technology that Memory Manager had and Historian didn't
• Software is just $39.95
• Fully supported by Panstoria and Panstoria Affiliates like myself

 Storybook Creator or Artisan?

• Storybook 3.0 and 4.0 still work just fine if you installed and activated before 12/31/2013
• The last update from Panstoria allows CM software customers to click on the ORDER button and order items through Panstoria Print Shop, just like you did with CM Photo Center before Sep 2013
• Backing up your projects, content and activation codes is critical
• An upgrade to the OS or even some Windows updates could force you to reinstall the software, making it unusable after 12/31/2013
• No support is available other than existing knowledge base of former CM Consultants like myself
• Artisan has some great new projects for products offered by Panstoria Print Shop
• Software is just $39.95 and you can install on 2 (TWO) machines
• Fully supported by Panstoria and Panstoria Affiliates like myself

I still have a mix of CM and Panstoria installed, but I do want to support Panstoria as much as possible...if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have options to continue using the software we use and love and continue using the content we spent lots of time and money purchasing and organizing.

If you've decided to take the plunge and go with Panstoria products to replace your CM ones, please be sure to let me know if you need any assistance and be sure to purchase the software using the links on this blog so I receive credit for the sale.  You can also decide to become an Affiliate yourself...just click on that link to the right of this text -->

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

 Thanks in advance for your continued support!

 

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.
