Moving from Storybook to Artisan: Your Questions Answered!

There are so many scrappers out there wondering what to do now that Creative Memories Storybook software is gone. I get questions about Forever Artisan a lot so today I'm here to answer some of those frequently asked questions.

Hello – I found your contact info on Forever.com while researching if I could use my Creative Memories Storybook Creator software. All the info on the web leads me to Forever’s Artisan software. I’m wondering if you can answer my questions about how that really works – I don’t want to buy even more software until I understand a few things.

If I purchase Artisan software I assume it’s not an upgrade to Storybook but I would need to buy the full price software – correct? So if I do that can I use the Creative Memories digital content packages?

Also – can pages I create using Artisan be printed anywhere (such as Costco) or do they need to be printed through Forever?

It’s been a few years since I’ve done much digital scrapping, except through places like Shutterfly but I really want to get back into and find software that similar to what Creative Memories had with Storybook Creator,

Thanks so much!

Danielle

You can purchase Artisan here: https://digitalscrapbookinghq.com/artisan If you don't have Artisan 4 you'll need to pay the full price. The upgrade option is only for Artisan 4 users.

So if I purchase Artisan can I use the Creative Memories digital content packages? 

Yes! You can use the Creative Memories digital content packages with Artisan. Here's the instructions: https://forever1.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/214817757-How-to-import-content-from-Storybook-into-Artisan-same-computer-
