Panstoria purchased all the Creative Memories's digital packages

Good News!!  Panstoria has purchased Creative Memories' entire catalog of digital content packages. Because Panstoria now owns that digital content, the nearly 1,500 kits from Creative Memories that are in the Panstoria store will continue to be available for purchase along with the other beautiful art in the Panstoria store.

To celebrate that purchase, Panstoria is having a three-day SALE on all digital content in the store. Beginning now through midnight on Saturday, Dec. 20, ALL content in the store will be marked down 25%.

Note: You will not see this appear as a discount in the shopping cart as the prices on the individual kits will already be marked down.

NEW KITS! Panstoria just released 80 new kits into the store. You will find a wide variety of kits in this set, including a number of kits with fall, harvest, and football themes.
See them all now at: http://www.panstoria.com/store/category-page/category/digital_content

Trying to decide if you should upgrade to Artisan?  This free video made by the ladies from Pixels2Pages explains some of the reasons why you should and there have even been more improvements to Artisan since this video was made.  http://www.facebook.com/l/1AQFqcQrC/www.pixels2pages.net/2013/09/19/video-tidbit-something-old-something-new/

Have you found out that Historian has another improvement over Memory Manager--the ability to add a watermark to your pictures when sharing.  Click Share and then click "Show advanced options".  The watermark feature is at the bottom.  This is great since I want to enter this photo in a contest.

I just have to brag about Panstoria printing.  I was just on a Facebook group that is about Panstoria.  On there a lady was questioning why her two t-shirts printed at Panstoria didn't look the same.  First she had printed one shirt.  The printer saw that it needed a transparent background which she had not given it and did print it with the transparent background.  She sent in a second shirt and this time the printer actually printed it as she had downloaded it.  She didn't like the second shirt as well and was asking how she could make the second shirt look like the first not knowing it was because of her error they were different.  Mike from Panstoria saw her post and took the time to check on her order.  He explained to her what had happened, gave her the directions to correct her design and offered to print her another shirt.  What Service!

StoryBook Creator 4 and Panstoria's Artisan are so much alike except for a wonderful improvement in Artisan.  Many times while working in StoryBook, I would realize that my photo needed some enhancement.  Off I would have to go to Memory Manager.  I'm excited to see that is no longer necessary.

In StoryBook Creator, a right click on your photo would give you the touch up brush--
a little limited:

In Artisan, a right click on the photo opens tools like you would find on Memory Manager:                  

I use the clone tool so very often and here it is in Artisan under Touchup
