Scrapbook Trends Editor-in-Chief Pam Baird shared her thoughts on the new arrangement for Memory Makers subscribers:
We are so delighted to welcome Memory Makers readers to the Northridge Media family. We are excited to get to know them and hope they have fun getting to know us! We are committed to bringing our readers the inspiration they are looking for to preserve their memories and create art with layouts, cards, mini albums, home décor, handmade gifts, craft projects, jewelry items, and more. We love to celebrate and showcase one-of-a-kind handmade items created by our readers, who are the focus of Northridge Media. Our publications are filled with beautifully photographed projects, tips & techniques, step-by-step instructions, and informative articles that will keep their creativity coming every month!
For their part, F+W stressed that they aren't abandoning the crafts market after the shut down of Memory Makers. Sara Domville, President of F+W Media, explained:
The Crafts Community at F+W Media continues to be an important and valued part of the Company's overall business. We will continue to grow our online presence mycraftivity.com, as well as publish inspirational scrapbooking books under the Memory Makers Books imprint, and produce the popular Great American Scrapbook Conventions. Additionally, we will continue to support and grow in other areas within the craft category, including mixed media, sewing, and quilting, where we publish more than 60 books each year.
