Special thank to Dr. Mark Mizen at Creative Memories Blog for the following information!
In May, Creative Memories is introducing several new Photo Panel sizes, including 8x8, 11x8.5, and 12x12. These sizes, which align with traditional scrapbook page sizes, allow customers to display completed pages on their tables, desks, and walls. After all, the value of a single photograph is in the completed page, which includes journaling, embellishments and other memorabilia. Unlike a single photograph, the completed page tells a story.

Photo Panels use dye sublimation to transfer color from a printed sheet to a high-gloss receptor. These panels have a strong visual impact and call attention to the printed page. Photo panels resist abrasion, stains, and fade. Like traditional photographs, photo panels can be expected to last 10-20 years under typical home display conditions before noticeable color change.

With this change, we are introducing an improved color management system designed to better maintain color consistency. We have also reduced in-house processing time to 1-3 days and improved product packaging.
The newest issue of the Creative Memories Newsletter is available! To view all the wonderful new ideas and products and subscribe, please click: CM Newsletter

Polaroid Film Now Available


Just when you though it was safe to write Polaroid film off to the annals of history, The Impossible Project has reintroduced film for Polaroid cameras. At this time, the Impossible Project only produces black and white film, which is far easier to make than color film. Film is $21.00 a pack.

So, dig through your closets and attics, find your old Polaroid camera, and renter the world of analog photography. Rediscover the joy of not knowing what your photo looks like until you see your final print.

Will this new film find a market? I don't know, but I'd love to hear from anyone who has used it.

Recovering Deleted Pages in SBCPlus3.0

Did you know that if you accidentally delete a page, all is not lost?!

On the Home Ribbon, in the Pages Section, there is a button labelled “Recover Page”. If you click on it, a dialogue box pops up. Thumbnail images of your deleted pages are visible. If you click on one of the thumbnails you will see a lager preview image of the page.

Simply click “Recover” and the page will be returned to the StoryBook. It will be located at the end of the book, just drag it to the desired location in the Pages panel.


Recover Deleted Pages with a Click
Speaking of rearranging pages – when you have lots of pages to arrange, try enlarging the pages panel viewing area – it makes it much easier. If you hover your cursor over the gap between the pages panel and the main editing screen, you will notice that the arrow turns into a bar with little arrows pointing to the left & right. If you click & drag to the left, your pages panel will enlarge so that you can see the whole book at once. (You can also see photos & content better this way too).
