Get that StoryBook ordered this weekend!

(pssst - sorry this blog post is so LONG.) You're probably like me - a major procrastinator. Great intentions... not a lot of follow-through. And, if you take a lot of photos and wish you could do something really grandios with them, here's your chance. Be a rockstar and finish a really great project at lightning speed. THIS WEEKEND. :) We've got things available to you like our Predesigned Pages and Click and Fill templates along with software options like auto-populate, you can most definitely create an entire book this weekend. YES, this weekend.

We're challenging you all to finish (or start AND finish) an entire storybook this weekend (or some weekend in your near future, if you're not available). Imagine how proud of yourself you'll be! Visit the Creative Memories Go Digital Fan Page for inspiration, encouragement, and to tell us what kind of book you'll be creating!

I created this 2-page spread in just minutes. I used the Click and Fill A Year in Review Templates, along with the Serene Kit (available with the StoryBook 4.0 upgrade DVD (US|Canada) or on the Digital Top Pick (US|Canada) content selection). I dropped a photo into the left page and added a little paper to the embellishment in there, and then dropped some papers into the page on the right. EASY! By the way - isn't that THE cutest baby you've ever seen?  :)

 

For quick, beautiful books, you've got two options for a speedy finish: Predesigned Pages and Click and Fill Templates. What's the difference, you ask? Predesigned pages are a collection of pages already designed with papers, embellishments and photo openings all set for you. You simply add your photos and journaling to finish.

Click and Fill Templates are page layouts that are laid out for you, except they have no papers or embellishments adorning them. You simply fill shapes with papers you choose, add elements where you want, then plop in your photos and add your text. Also easy!

Stumped on what you may make a book about? We've got all kinds of fun themed templates ready for you to drop your photos into and finish your book. Check some of them out here:

I am going to a crop at the beach this weekend. Have only 6 pages done in my Christmas 2010 album and plan to finish it this weekend! Thanks for the extra inspiration and encouragement!

I finished my 2011 Family Book - wanted to include pages from the Disney Leadership Conference, because my daughter and grandkids came with me. 92 pages - biggest storybook I've made thus far.

Wow, Paula - that's amazing! Nice work!! :)

Well, if I can get 8 more pages done, I'll have my 90 to fill an album. Perfect time to print it. Since Jan 1st I've gotten at least 2 pgs a day done. :D
