My New Blog Is Ready!

Hi Everyone!
I am so excited to update you on all of the changes and improvements I have been working on over the past months!  First of all my new blog is FINALLY launched!!!  Please go check it out!


I am starting things up where I left off with my QUICKGRIDS page layout templates.  They are available as a download on my new blog.  No more waiting for CD’s to arrive in the mail and no more shipping charges!  You may download the templates right now!

My new blog has undergone numerous revisions since last July when I first promised it to all of you.  Many things have changed over the last year.  One thing that remains the same is that I truly believe in digital scrapbooking and I want to continue to help you save your precious memories.  I hope you follow me on the next path of my journey.  I truly value your business and your friendships!!

I have added a new software program to my business called Panstoria Artisan.  I LOVE it!  I was fortunate enough to be on the beta testing team for this new software.  If you are interested in trying it, there is a link on my new blog to a free 30 day trial download.  I will continue to support Creative Memories StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 and Memory Manager.  My new blog has Training Options, Freebies and free QUICKLFILL templates for both StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 and Artisan! 

Many of you are Creative Memories Consultants and customers.  Please know that I have given this new opportunity a lot of thought before deciding to add this software to my business.  I have been digital scrapbooking for over 7 years, long before StoryBook was ever developed.  I have used eight different software programs for digital scrapbooking.  There are new options in this market all the time.  Artisan has really captured my attention and I enjoy using it.  Please know that I have no intention of trying to take any business away from Creative Memories consultants.  Most of my best friends are consultants.  I was a consultant myself from 2000 – 2004.  I am still here to support you!

Thank you so much for all of your patience and well wishes over the past months!  Now go check out my new blog and have fun playing with all the free toys!

This will be my last post on this blog.

Thank you so much!

My Final Click & Fill Page Layout Templates

Hi Everyone!

This is my latest and final release of Click & Fill Page Layout Templates I designed for Creative Memories.  I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of my page designs come alive through all of you!!!  I have made the decision to go back to designing for my own Visual Vocabulary company.  These will be the last Click & Fill pages I design for Creative Memories.

My new blog will be up and running by next week.  I have so many fun things to offer you!  There will be freebies, free page layout templates and training options.  I will be selling the QUICKGRIDS templates as a downloadable purchase!

Many of you are probably curious about why I made this difficult business decision.  I have always been, and will continue to be, supportive of Creative Memories customers, consultants and their businesses.  I was a consultant myself for four years from 2000 - 2004, so I have walked in your shoes! Last January 2010, I presented my line of page layout template CD's to Creative Memories.  They asked me to join their Digital Design Team and StoryBook Creator Plus 3.0 beta testing team.  In April of 2010, I was asked by Creative Memories to stop selling my CD's.  I focused my efforts on helping Creative Memories develop the line of what is now the Click & Fill templates.  They purchased all of my designs from my CD's and have incorporated them in their product line.  In November of 2010, a new Creative Memories Digital Design Team was selected, and sadly, I was not chosen to remain on the team.  This decision opened up the opportunity for me to go back to designing for my own company Visual Vocabulary.  I am also adding additional training and designs for other software to expand my business.  I thank you so much for all of your support over the last couple of years!  I hope you all understand the difficult decisions I have made.  My new blog has undergone numerous revisions since last July when I first promised it to all of you.  Many things have changed over the last year.  One thing that remains the same is that I truly believe in digital scrapbooking and I want to continue to help you save your precious memories.  I hope you follow me on the next path of my journey. I value your business and your friendships!!
