GOOD NEWS!!!

There's been a big development in our world of digital scrapbooking this week and I wanted to give you a summary.

Artisan 5 - there is a new version of Artisan available - this is the first major upgrade in several years. It has new features that makes our digital scrapbooking even more fun - and fast. It is being offered at special prices until Oct. 4.. Take a little bit to figure out the best option for you. I've broken it down in to a few categories:

1. You have Artisan 4 - UPGRADE to Artisan 5 at the sale price of US $23.96 (regular $29.95). Click here, select Buy Now and scroll to the bottom of the page to find the UPGRADE choice. When checking out, add the discount code CELEBRATE for the 20% discount.

2. You have Storybook Creator - go straight to Artisan 5.To purchase, click here, select Buy Now, then add Artisan 5 to your cart (if you are new to the website, you will need to set up an account. Be sure to review the computer Operating System requirements to confirm your computer fits) When checking out, add the discount code CELEBRATE for the 20% discount - you will get the sale price of US$47.96 (regular $59.95).

Note: Artisan can be used on TWO computers - that's a useful difference from SBC.

A few more things to consider:

all art kits purchased for SBC will transfer in to Artisan. You do not lose your investment.
projects started in SBC can be opened and saved as an Artisan project so you can finish them (yeah, I got a few of those!)
when we changed from SBC to Artisan 4, it was a seamless transition. Pretty much looked the same. Artisan 5 looks to have some big improvements and from the discussion I see on Facebook, we will need to play around to learn a few new things. My plan - I am going to purchase it now at the sale price and install it later in the week. I am 4 pages away from finishing a book so I will do that and order it, then get in to the new-ness of 5.
Pixels2Pages is our go-to training resource. They have excellent information about moving from SBC to Artisan 4 so go here if you have questions - click on resources. You do not need to be a member to see these instructions. I do recommend their training and membership - I rely heavily on P2P for training, ideas and support. Click here to look at their membership and course options. (note: they will be rolling out new training on Artisan 5 and I'll be there learning, too.)
I am an affiliate with Forever, Panstoria and Pixels2Pages. When you click on the links I provide and purchase a product/service, I earn a small commission (which does not add to your cost). When you click on links provided by other people or businesses, they earn the commission. We are required to tell you this.
I'm seeing all of this NEW-ness for the first time, just as you are. I'll be sharing my perspective in future blogs and Crops so I hope you'll join me as we create books and gifts and memories for those we love.

Artisan 5 Is Here!

Trust us, you'll want to upgrade right now!

It's so much faster. Pages and filters respond instantly. You can move and resize elements in a snap!

Edit shapes after they've been created!

A wide-range of stroke options for drawing lines and shapes on the page (from simple lines to amazing artistic patterns!)

Elements can now have a mixture of photos, text, shapes, strokes and effects in a single element. Your only limit is your imagination!

No more annoying pop-ups at the top of the page!

Improved two-page editing! Switch between pages without needing to save!
All new font manager! You can create categories and groups to organize as many fonts as you like. Quickly find the font you're looking for among thousands!
Our improved content manager allows you to browse and organize content more easily!
Members who already use Artisan 4 can buy Artisan 5 for $30 OFF the normal retail price. Just be sure to select the upgrade version of the software when you head over to our website. Don't wait a second longer! This deal won't last forever!

Background (for the curious). When Creative Memories closed in 2013, the stewardship of the two software programs (Storybook Creator and Memory Manager) returned to the company that developed and owned the software, Panstoria. Panstoria continued to update the software in their original names: Artisan and Historian. In the past year, Panstoria was bought by a company named Forever - I am new to Forever and I have signed up as an Ambassador. Forever's main product is permanent, secure cloud storage for your photos - it is a unique product with key differences from the many "free" options you may see on the internet. This email is not about the cloud storage so I won't go in to detail about it here, however, my point is that it is encouraging to see Forever create this umbrella of digital memory-keeping services and products.
