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

Yesterday, I downloaded the Artisan program from Panstoria.  A piece of cake!  Everything transferred from my StoryBook Creator--all my projects, all my kits, all my tags and categories.  I am happy, happy, happy!  I was using StoryBook Creator on my PC but the computer crashed.  As Creative Memories no longer is supporting StoryBook, I would not be able to activate the program again so it was time to purchase Artisan.  Since I could put it on two computers, I put it on my laptop as well.  Since the laptop still had a working StoryBook Creator, the Artisan program just brought all the Creator contents over.

I am enjoying my calendar printed by Panstoria.  They did a great job.  The pictures are clear and bright and the paper is a nice thickness.  I chose some of my scenic pictures of the last year and created the calendar.  A little hint:  with Artisan from Panstoria, you can start the calendar with any month.  I chose my calendar to start with February.  That way with the busy days in December, I don't have to think about creating another calendar for the next year and can wait until things calm down.

Welcome to my new blog.  I enjoy digital scrapbooking and have used the Creative Memories Storybook Creator to create my books.  As that option of printing with Creative Memories has closed, I am so thankful that I have now been able to print with Panstoria.
