Subway Art with Storybook Creator Plus

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Sun, 05 Dec 2010 01:09:00 +0000

I had my annual team holiday brunch this morning. It is our tradition to do a page exchange. Over the years it has involved to pages and or/paper craft. Something made with CM products.

For my gift I decided to create some cute Christmas Subway Art using Storybook Creator Plus. I saw a similar idea but it was made into a pillow but I knew it would be easy to replicate on paper using Storybook Creator Plus.

I did this with a 8 x 10 blank page using paper from the Primary Digital Power Palette.

I created individual text boxes for each of the words and then chose a fun font.

I framed it in an 8 x 10 frame - a fun and easy Christmas decoration!

Beach Retreat

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 14:53:00 +0000

Every year in May I hold a scrapbooking beach treat at our beach house in Manzanita. It is a weekend full of fun, good food, friends and of course lots of scrapbooking!

Thanks to all my fun ladies who joined me this year. I always enjoy spending time with you. We had amazing weather and lots of sun.

What could be better than looking at this while scrapping away!!

An amazing view from the house.

And at night we got to look at this.

And we even found time to walk along the beach and stick our toes in the sand.

Who wants to join me next year??

Easter Memories

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:08:00 +0000

This weekend we were reminiscing about past Easters and how we use to dress up the kids in matching and coordinating outfits! It was so fun to be able to just pull the albums off the shelf and look back at those photos.

It is an amazing blessing to have your family photos organized and in a safe place - some place you can easily grab them and enjoy them! Are your family photos safe and organized? If not - I'd love to help!!!

Storybook Printing

Need a Boost!?

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:11:00 +0000

From Prevention Magazine....

Better Mood Enhancement Than Chocolate, Alcohol, or Music

The next time you need a mood boost, forget chocolate. Forget the wine and mood music, too. Because researchers have discovered something else that works even better. And best of all, it’s calorie-free, doesn’t require exercise, and can be done almost anywhere. What is it? Looking at personal photos.

Researchers at the United Kingdom’s Open University examined how much people’s mood rose after eating chocolate, sipping an alcoholic drink, watching TV, listening to music, or looking at photos.

They found that the music and chocolate left people’s moods unchanged. Alcohol and TV gave a slight lift. But the winner by a long shot was viewing personal photos, which made people feel significantly better.

So next time you feel down in the dumps, pull out the photo albums. Or, if you’re technologically minded, you can load your favorite photos onto a digital viewer that you can take with you anywhere you go.

How Long Will My Digital Storybooks Last?

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:23:00 +0000

Ever asked that question? Let Creative Memories Director of Technology Dr. Mark Mizen answer your question!

Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe

[This posting is based on a presentation given at the Canadian Showcase in Calgary on August 22, 2008; the information is still relevent today.]

I am glad to be here in Canada. You ask such interesting questions and are always interested in my boys, Ed and Noah.

The album page on the screen is from a test album I recently completed. I took the first two pages of ten different templates and randomly dropped in pictures of Ed and Noah. My goal was to test the printing of the templates. The most amazing thing was that my wife actually liked the resulting album when she saw it. It proved to her how easy it could be to create a StoryBook.

Digital. Is it going away? I think we all know the answer to that question is no. Digital no longer functions as a sideline to Creative Memories traditional albums. To start with, we developed StoryBook Creator to make life easy for you and your customers.

StoryBook Creator lets you build the book that you want, as simple as you want or as elaborate as you want. We are continually adding new products and new features.

We have improved our color management and modified the default colors in StoryBook Creator to ensure that your customers receive high quality books. We continue to monitor and adjust the production process to improve our StoryBooks.

On June 6, 2008 we sold 4,267 StoryBooks. Now, if only we could sell that many StoryBooks each day. Oh, I forgot, we can. It’s simply a matter of getting the word out that Creative Memories has the best digital products available.

Let’s look at our Hard Cover StoryBooks. The hard cover StoryBook with a personalized cover is the highest quality book available.

We have had StoryBooks in our accelerated aging chambers for over a year and the best estimate we have is that these books will last for 100 years or longer and even then, the StoryBook will show some yellowing but the memories will be intact.

Preservation remains important to many consumers, and Creative Memories is the expert on preservation. Quality is, in fact, more important now that digital photography is no longer a novelty.

Quality is not a given. We are seeing a greater number of low-quality books as the production of these books expands into low volume retail outlets. The corner camera store may be the expert on digital cameras or on photographic prints but it is clearly not the expert on producing photo books.

A high-quality StoryBook has a stitched binding and resists fade and abrasion. Books must use acid-free, buffered, and lignin-free paper. Creative Memories also test all books in high and low humidity to ensure that they will not warp under adverse conditions.

To highlight the difference in photo books, I am working with the International Organization for Standardization or ISO project to develop a photo book standard for long-term preservation. My goal is to develop a specification, much like ISO 18902, that we can use to differentiate our products from those of other manufacturers. Look for more details in the future.

By the way, one of the best ways to ensure that something will last is to produce multiple copies. This is the LOCKSS concept. Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe. LOCKSS was developed for libraries and institutions but the concept applies to everyone. With StoryBooks, it is as easy to create multiple copies as it is to create one.

Soft Cover Storybooks give us the ability to offer digital products at all price ranges. The printers used to produce the soft cover StoryBooks are the same printers we use for the hard cover books. By eliminating the binding we are able to lower the price, which makes it easy to give as a gift. The low price makes them absolutely affordable.

Creative Memories digital products consist of more than just StoryBooks – much more. Creative Memories also offers you and your customers the ability to put your files on CDs through the Creative Memories Digital Center. With this system, we are able to monitor the quality of the CD from the blank disc to the final preservation copy. Without quality control, you really don’t know how long your discs will last.

For My Memory Archive, we are offering silver and gold discs. Here is a clear summary of the differences. Both CDs are high quality and will last 100 years or more. It’s just that with the gold CDs you have a greater likelihood of being able to read your files at any given time. Think of the difference between sterling silver, which readily tarnishes, and gold jewelry, which remains brilliant. I have already told you which disc like.

Multiple CDs protect against catastrophic loss or damage. Floods and fires do not always happen to someone else. I recommend storing one copy of your photos at another location – at a friend or relative’s house or in a safety deposit box.

In the Technology Center, we also evaluate photo gifts. We test all photo gifts to ensure that they are safe and do not contain toxic metals, such as lead. This testing is particularly important since many of these products originate overseas, where safety regulations may be less stringent.

Because photo gifts are meant to be used, we also evaluate fade resistance. Even something as simple as a coffee cup represents your memories.

As you may be aware, Wall Prints are available in StoryBook Creator Plus. You have the same flexibility when designing your Wall Prints as you have with StoryBooks. You can also use the templates available on the Digital Center.

Wall Prints and Page Prints are produced on fade-resistant photographic paper. These prints will last 10-20 years before noticeable change. Think about the possibilities – one for the family room, one for the kids’ room, two for the grandparents, and one for the garage. Well maybe not the garage; but I think you get the point. The more copies you have of your photos, the more likely they are to be preserved.

Today’s quiz will be a closed book quiz, so please put away your handouts. You don’t really have to do that.

1. StoryBooks will last…

A. For one year.

B. Twenty years.

C. At least one hundred years but who’s counting.

D. Until the Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup.

The answer is C. Creative Memories 8 x 8, custom cover 8½ x 11, and 12 x 12 StoryBooks are designed for long-term preservation.

2. The soft cover StoryBook is…

A. Printed on inexpensive newsprint that will yellow over time.

B. Designed to be discarded after looking at it

C. An ideal, inexpensive gift.

D. Creative Memories answer to the New York Times bestseller list

The answer is C. The soft cover StoryBook is an ideal, inexpensive gift. These books are printed on the same system as the more expensive hard cover StoryBooks.

3. My Memory Archive Gold CDs will…

A. Tarnish and discolor over time.

B. Survive catastrophic loss or damage

C. Preserve digital photos for generations

D. Turn into silver when the clock strikes midnight.

The answer again is C. What a coincidence. Gold CDs represent one way to preserve digital photos for generations. We also recommend printed StoryBooks and traditional albums.

4. To preserve photos, Creative Memories recommends…

A. Multiple StoryBooks

B. Multiple CDs

C. Multiple Wall Prints

D. All of the above.

And the answer of course is D. All of the above.

Thank you.

Take Beautiful Pictures of your Beautiful Like by Nick Kelsh

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:53:00 +0000

I just returned from Creative Memories Regional Saturday that was held in Seattle this year. I will be sharing with you some of the amazingly beautiful new product they introduced in the next few days but today I wanted to share a wonderful video they presented.

It is excellent. He has so many great tips for taking better photographs. He wants to us to be able to take beautiful pictures of our beautiful life!

So please click here and take a few minutes to watch the video. I promise you will be glad you did and you will learn lots and Nick is funny too!!

Leave me a comment after you watch and let me know what you learned!

Project Picture Update

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 16:43:00 +0000

I have been a Creative Memories Consultant for 19 and a half years!

For the past 19 years, every year, one of my New Year's resolutions has been to get caught up on ALL my albums/scrapbooks.

I think I have done a pretty good job during the last 19 years having completed over 120 scrapbooks/digital books but I am not completely caught up.

Once again, this year, I have set the same goal.

I am going to approach it a little different this year though. I have made a list of all the albums/years that need to be completed and I am going to share that list with you.

I am expecting you to hold me accountable and I plan on reporting in to you on a regular basis how I am doing. As you can see from the photo in the previous post my Project Picture has taken over my dining room - no dinner parties for us for a while!!

So here is a list of the projects I need to finish in order to be caught up.

I have divided them up into Traditional, Picfolio or Digital Projects.

Traditional Projects

Logan
2005-2009 - college years, post mission (I have given up on the fact that any of my children are going to take over their own albums!)
1984 (yes I have never done his photos from the first year of his life, don't ask me why, I don't know!)

Clark
2007 - 2009 - college years, post mission

Cali
Freshman year college
1989 (her first year isn't done either, I must have a problem with those first year photos!)

Tessa
2006-2009

Family
2007
Heritage Photos

Picfolio Projects
Family
2009

Digital Projects

Logan
China YA Trip
Australia YA Trip

Clark
Cambridge Summer

OK - so that should keep me busy for awhile.

I am starting at the top and getting Logan's album caught up first. I will do the scrapbook part and he will have to do the journaling though!

I am using the technique I shared here to help me work quick and fast. I have also committed to working at least 15-30 minutes a day on my current project - so thus the mess in the dining room!!

So what's your New Year's scrapbooking goal? I'd love to hear. Just leave a comment and let me know.

Project Picture

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 23:43:00 +0000

Stay tuned for more details coming soon!!!

Hope you had a great holiday and took lots of pictures!!!

Family Heritage Storybook

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 14:00:00 +0000

For Christmas this year my 79 year old mother created a digital storybook for her 3 children. She did the same thing last year. I shared last year's storybook with you here.

Creating family heirloom digital albums is very easy with our Storybook Creator 3.0 program and our beautiful predesigned pages.

My mother created this years book about her grandmother and used our Vintage Predesigned Pages.

With a little start up instruction from me she was able to drag and drop her pictures onto the pages, add her text and she was done.

For those of you who have been shying away from digital scrapbooking because you are a little intimidated, don't be! If my 79 year old mother can do it - you can do it!
Since I am pretty sure neither of my siblings reads this blog I am going to share a link to the storybook my mom created so you can see it for yourself.

If you don't have an account at Creative Memories' digital center you will need to create one in order to few it.

Just follow this link to my mom's new storybook!

EnJOY!

Project Center Recipe Holder Idea

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 21:48:00 +0000

I hosted my annual First Line Holiday Breakfast on Saturday. Usually we do a page exchange. Everyone brings a pre decorated page wrapped up. We then do an exchange by picking numbers etc.

This year I decided to change things up a bit and instead of pages I said they needed to bring something that was made using an idea they got off the Project Center. There is so much amazing stuff there!!!

For my gift for the exchange I decided to make something from the Traditional Ideas (there are also tons of Digital ideas in another section.)

From the Holiday Project Idea of the Day I made the fun recipe holder. The only change I made was to make it a bit bigger so it would accomodate 4 x 6 pictures and recipe cards.

I used paper and stickers from the Primary Christmas Addition Pack

I created the recipes and the photo cards in Storybook Creator 3.0

I used our new scoring blade on the new rotary cutter to score the cardboard so it would fold and form a stand.

I thought it turned out pretty cute and was a fun way to share some holiday cookie recipes!

Do you have a favorite project you have made from the Photo Center?

Problems sending jpeg

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:44:00 +0000

OK so I guess the jpegs for the advent calendars are too big to email. I have them uploaded to my Costco account so if you are a member of Costco I can send you a link to share the album so if you still want them (so sorry!) send me another email and let me know you belong to Costco and I will send you the Costco share link. You can then just order them through Costco and have them printed there at your local Costco.

Countdown to Christmas Downloads

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:54:00 +0000

If you requested the jpegs for the advent calendars but haven't received them in your email yet please leave another comment with your email or email me directly with it - yourhomebasedmom@gmail.com. Some of your emails don't show up with your comment so I don't know where to send the files - thanks!

Countdown to Christmas

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:08:00 +0000

It's time! It's time to start counting down to Christmas. What a better way to do that then with a darling advent calender created in Storybook Creator using some of our holiday/Christmas digital downloads!

Thanks To Debby Lazarone and Dawn Oldham for sharing their cute calendars. Just print them as 12 x12 prints and add your candy.

I used Rolos and Dove chocolate. They were attached with hot glue. They fit perfect on an Everyday Display board or can be hung on a bulletin board.

I took calendars for each of the families and college students who we would see at Thanksgiving - hoping it makes me the popular aunt!

Have fun creating your own or if you would like the jpeg for the ones below just leave a comment and I will email them to you!

Thanksgiving Place Cards

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:28:00 +0000

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Is your menu planned, your groceries bought?

Well, what about your table decor? One quick and easy way to bring some color and a special touch to your holiday table is by adding place cards. Everyone loves to see their name in print and what better way to make them feel welcomed and loved.

These placecards were created quickly and easily through Storybook Creator 3.0

I just opened a 4 x 6 project. I filled the background with one of the papers from the Giving Thanks Digital kit. Using the measuring guides on the side I divided the page into quarters so I could space the embellishment and the name properly.

I printed them onto a cardstock weight paper. I cut them in half and then folded them in half to create a cute little tent card.

Now everyone knows where to sit and feels welcome - no questions asked!

Don't Judge a Product by it's Cover

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:35:00 +0000

The last two days I have been hosting my Annual Creative Memories Holiday Open House at my home. One of my favorite events each year.

I love seeing some of my customers who I only see at this event and getting caught up.

I also enjoy seeing all the CM product line out together. I take over the lower level of my house and spread it all out.

I also always do up some special page samples etc.

This year CM came out with a new product - Decorative Cardstock. Honestly, I thought they were ugly What on earth was I suppose to do with them?

Well, after out team webinar on Monday and seeing the cute title pages that Laura Clausen had done up I had to give it a try - what kind of consultant would I be if I didn't try to embrace all of our products.

Look at these cute pages I made using the Harvest Deocrative Cardstock. There is also a Basic Decorative Cardstock.

I think they would make great title pages for family or trip albums!

So - lesson learned - don't judge a product by it's cover!!

Tag Idea

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:06:00 +0000

Just wanted to share another fun way to use our new Tag Maker.

I helped with a wedding this summer and for part of the table decorations we cut a picture of the bride and groom into a tag shape - using the tag maker. Then the tag shaped picture was matted onto paper and then the paper was cut to form a narrow border around the picture - make sense!. We punched a hole in the top, added ribbon and tied it around the flower arrangements. So cute and so personal.

The photo was personalized with the name of the bride and groom and the wedding date in Storybook Creator 3.0!

Another great idea would be to personalize your gift tags for the upcoming holidays. Get a picture of the person who the gift is for or maybe a photo of the two of you together. Cut the picture into a tag using the tag maker and add it to the package. They will know who it is for and who it is from!!!
Have fun - any other fun ideas for the tag maker? Leave a comment and share!!

My Favorite Maker

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:41:00 +0000

My favorite shape maker that Creative Memories has come out with is the Tag Maker! It is awesome.

No more having to buy gift tags or hurriedly cut one out of leftover wrapping paper.

Creative Memories has tons of cute ideas on the CM Project Center.

For Christmas gifts this year for some of my girlfriends I am going to make up a selection of gift tags and give them with some neutral, brown kraft wrapping paper and a cute roll of ribbon! Isn't that a fun idea?!

Use the Tag Maker to create all kinds of fun an unique gift tags for this holiday season. They would be perfect on packages, cookie plates etc.
Here are a few of my favorite tag ideas from the Project Center - the possibilities are endless!!

Halloween Ideas

noreply@blogger.com (Leigh Anne Wilkes) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:54:00 +0000

I wanted to share the cute Halloween ideas I put together for my team meeting this past week.

Here are the candy bars I did using the directions for the Project Center.

I also used our Limited Edition Trick or Treat Addition to create some cute cupcake toppers for the cinnamon cupcakes I served at the team meeting. Aren't they cute!

I used the rest of the addition to create a fun BOO banner. I cut the larger sheets of paper to the same size as the photo mounting mats that come in the kit.

I then used the stickers that came in the kit to decorate it up a bit!

I used the wavy blade on the rotary trimmer to put a decorative edge on some of the banner pendants.

A quick and easy way to add some holiday decor to your party or home!
