All Ohio State Fair Choir

It is state fair time in Ohio! One of the highlights of the fair is the choir. Made up of high school students from all over the state, it has always been one of my favorite parts of the fair. Last year my niece was able to be a member of the choir and so I enjoyed it even more. By the way, the band is also great! High school students are now in Columbus practicing for opening day next week.

This page was made from a few photos from last year's fair. The background of the page was made from the "Promise" collection from Shabby Princess. The gold paper clip and masking tape are from the Creative Memories Office Embellishments package in gold. Check out the choir's web page and blog link at www.aosfyc.com See you at the fair!

StoryBook Creator Plus Sample Pages

Here are a few of my latest creations. The tractor and clematis pages were created using the "Fancy Free" set of pages which are available free from Creative Memories. The brown page was made from the new CM Hannah Montana kit. All of the pages have been re-colored to more closely coordinate with the colors in the photos. That is one of the nicest features of the program - almost everything can be re-colored exactly the way you want it resulting in endless possibilities.

Digital Scrapbooking

Two of my favorite hobbies are photography and scrapbooking. I will probably always enjoy traditional scrapbooking, but lately I have been using StoryBook Creator Plus by Creative Memories for digital scrapbooking. I had tried several other programs for digital scrapbooking and became discouraged with either the length of time it takes to learn them or with the lack of flexibility in the program. When my CM consultant told me about this program, I was anxious to try it. It is simply the best program I have found for digital scrapbooking considering price, ease of use, and creative options. I'm hoping that through this blog I can share a little of what I have learned about the program and also learn more about it from anyone who reads this blog.

I am not a Creative Memories consultant, just an enthusiastic customer. If any of you want more information about Creative Memories, it is easy to locate consultants near you from their website. If you can't find anyone, let me know and I'll tell you about my great consultant, Mary Ellen.
