Confused

In case you are wondering why I joined Heritage Makers and became an affiliate with Panstoria at the same time, here is my explanation.

I loved Creative Memories software.  Memory Manager and StoryBook Creator were easy to use and I created many StoryBooks, page prints, calendars and other things using my photos.  But, CM is done.  Panstoria, the creators of MM and SBC have Historian and Artisan software that are the same, only better.  So, I can continue with what I love, using software I know and create unique things with my photos to be enjoyed and shared with my family and friends.

I think Panstoria software is better because we can purchase each for $39.95 and then get upgrades and support whenever we need it.  Artisan can be installed on two computers (say your desktop and your laptop).  All your MM vaults and SBC digital content work on the Panstoria software.  And, finally, pixels2Pages offers tips and techniques for using Panstoria software.  p2P is a membership well worth every cent it costs.

Heritage Makers is another option for creating and enjoying photos.  HM has Studio which is an online digital software that can be used on both PCs and Macs.  Many of us believed that we didn't want to work online.  But, with access to the Internet almost everywhere and the ability to use any computer, why would we not want to work online?  A free Studio account gives you access to over 800 predesigned templates (all customizable).  If you upgrade to Premier, you have access to over 10,000 templates and 90,000 pieces of digital art!  Premier is $19.95/month or FREE with Club HM.

With Club HM you purchase publishing points.  Club HM members can change their membership anytime to keep them in line with their publishing needs.  And, publishing points are good for at least one full year.  It's a good way to help commit to getting those photos off our computers and out for everyone to enjoy.  Club members enjoy 25-33% savings on all projects.  There are 3 levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold - you pick what's right for you. You can learn more at              www.heritagemakers.com/love2scrap

Flexibility, availability, ease of use, creativity, cost, value, produce income, save money, make new friends, share with existing ones, and ENJOY MY PHOTOS are reasons I became an affiliate with Panstoria and a consultant with Heritage Makers.

I'm a Panstoria Affiliate!

I love Creative Memories StoryBook Creator and Memory Manager software.  Both of these software brands were created by Panstoria and licensed to Creative Memories. Since Creative Memories will no longer be offering the software or any upgrades or enhancements, I have decided to become an affiliate with Panstoria and have purchased both Artisan and Historian, Panstoria branded software.  The transition was so easy, a cave man could have done it.  All my photos in my CM vault are available in my Historian software and all my digital content and projects in SBC are available in Artisan.

As you know, I have also become a Heritage Makers Consultant.  What you may not know is that Heritage Makers offers an online scrapbooking software, Studio, with access to 10,000+ pieces of digital artwork through Premier, the ultimate creative experience.

So, why would I choose to sell Artisan and Historian, while promoting Heritage Makers.  Because, you don't have to use Studio, you can still use StoryBook Creator, Artisan, or any other digital scrapbooking software and order products in categories like storybooks, greeting cards, invitations, home decor, home and office, and photo gifts from Heritage Makers.

The important thing is to do something with the digital images we're all taking.  When was the last time you did something with your photos?  Who gets to see all the photos you take?  Don't you want to preserve and showcase your life's memories?  I don't want my life to be left in a box without names, dates, or feelings.

Preserve & Showcase Your Photos

Creative Memories has filed Ch. 11 bankruptcy and left us wondering what are we going to do now?  We love taking photos; I personally have 70,000+ digital images.

Creative Memories is restructuring and will be announcing soon what the NEW business will be.  But, they have made it very clear that they will not be in the digital scrapbooking business.

As a Creative Memories Consultant I was fortunate to have met many other consultants that shared my passion for preserving our life's memories.  One such consultant I was lucky to meet through my Facebook Friend Sheri, was Anna.  Both are from Michigan and both have built successful digital scrapbooking businesses with CM.  They searched for a replacement and feel that Heritage Makers is the answer to keep their customers and the income they worked so hard to earn.

After listening to a recruiting call and talking with my dear friend Sheri, I have decided to become a Heritage Makers Consultant.  I don't know much about the company yet, but with a very minimal investment ($10), I am now on a TEAM that is going to ROCK IT!

You can visit my site at www.heritagemakers.com/love2scrap.  I'm spending a lot of time there reading and watching tutorials.  So far, I love what I see.  When I signed up, I also signed up for the HM Club. With the club membership, you basically purchase publishing points.  I also "Pledged to Publish 12" Heritage Makers projects during the next 12 months.  You can be sure that I will be sharing what I learn and like, or don't like, as I honor my pledge.
