Gearing Up for the Holidays!

Happy November! I love this time of year ~ from the chill in the air, the changing colors in the leaves, cozy sweaters + boots, and family festivities! This is the time where we begin preparing (or thinking about!) getting our greeting cards out and holiday gifts.

A Willy Wonka Storybook

As I've been building my business, I've stepped away from "the norm" of party planning and am continually thinking outside the box. One idea occurred to me, having been a part of musical theatre organizations...and that is how close a cast would grow, how friendships were formed, and many photos were taken in those last few days of the production. Even with the time that passed by and everyone leading their own lives, reliving those memories in the photos we took was always such a joy! Why not put that into a Heritage Makers storybook?

This past week, I proudly finished a storybook for a community theatre organization I was part of three years ago. Stepping Stone Players wrapped up their Fall production of Willy Wonka this weekend. Tonight at the cast party, I was able to deliver and show those storybooks to the cast and parents. To my delight, everyone who picked up the book and thumbed through it was thoroughly impressed! Thank goodness Heritage Makers has unlimited storage for Premier members ~ I'm able to keep the project in my completed projects folder, and those who missed out on ordering early, can order from me at anytime!

New Products Announced!!!

Heritage Makers' Reunion at the Arizona Biltmore was a BLAST!!! With it being my first Reunion, it was a tad overwhelming... I felt as though I was more of an "observer" this year, soaking it all in...what Reunion was all about... but it did not stop me from getting excited about the new products and changes with HM. The upcoming years are just going to get better and better! And The Arizona Biltmore...pure heaven!
(in pic: my sponsor & director - Leah, and moi)

The mornings were filled with General Sessions where we were hyped, recognized for our hard work, inspired, and were introduced to new products!

The first new product introduced were the Deep Wrapped Canvases! The deep wrapped canvases are 2" deep, and you can mix and match it with our current canvases to make your layout POP that much more. You have the choice between an 18x18, 24x18, and 18x24.


The second new product announcement was the Post-Bound Scrapbook Album!!! I could not be more excited for this product. Coming from a traditional scrapbook background, I'm SO happy that my traditional scrapbook friends can finally join in the Heritage Makers fun! Who wouldn't want their own customized scrapbook cover?! It's also great for those who are currently using Heritage Makers Studio to digitally scrapbook (you know we have 12x12 scrappages, right? ;-)).

And now for the next two weeks, you can take advantage of our Post Reunion sale on these new products!!! These albums and canvases will make great holiday gifts!!! Sale ends August 31, 2010.

August Pick of the Month: Jewelry!!!

Since I've been with Heritage Makers, there have been some pretty cool Picks of the Month. The last two months, I have particular loved... but this one, I can truly say, is mind blowing!!! The jewelry has been a popular item, and HM headquarters has decided to discontinue the jewelry line.

This will be the LAST MONTH to stock up and order your jewelry! Once you place your order, you will have until October to create and publish it.

You won't want to miss out on this popular item! Contact me today!

Linette & Seth's Wedding Guest Book

Happy Thursday! This week has flown by amazingly fast, but that happens when I'm winding down from a trip AND also being called into work at the spa.

My husband and I just got back from a fantastic trip to Massachusetts for my sister-in-law's wedding. As a gift to her, I made their wedding guest book. As the wedding was 2-3 weeks away, I chose a template from the Heritage Makers template gallery, rather than starting from a blank canvas.

One thing I love about Studio is that everything is customizable! While I was hoping to make minimal changes to the chosen design, there ended up being a few, of course, but easy ones. The only time consuming element were the possibilities! ;-) The book turned out to be beautiful...

Take a look at where it started:
*click on "full screen"*


...and this was their final design:
*front cover*


*first page*



*left page*
a picture was taken of each individual/couple/family who signed the guest book. That pic will be inserted to the frame next to their sign-in.



*right page*


*back page*


*back cover*

TIP: If you plan on making a wedding guest book for yourself, or someone you love, be sure to purchase special pens for signing! For our own wedding, we used Slick Writers (ordered online from Jo-Ann Fabrics) ~ they dry quickly, so it won't smudge. We ended up having to visit a Jo-Ann Fabrics in Massachusetts last week because the bride was unable to before the wedding. Unfortunately, the store did not have Slick Writers, so we had to gamble on other brands. Gelly Rolls are NOT good (we learned the hard way :( )! We bought a second set, which worked MUCH better...and as soon as I find the pen, I'll let you know what it is... in the meantime, you can absolutely count on Slick Writers.

A Wall of Canvases

At my monthly team meeting, I was introduced to this idea of a Canvas Collage by Hallie Redd. I was already planning on creating a three-canvas collage for our home, but now I'm thinking BIGGER! ;-) What a great idea, and what better time to take advantage of our Christmas in July special?!? The savings are huge!

Digital Scrapbook Playground!

Keeping inspired. Keeping creative outlet juices flowing...

I recently found this awesome website ~ a networking group to stay inspired and continually play in the Heritage Makers Studio! Creator, Wendy, has gone above and beyond to create a community that is FUN!!! What first caught my eye was an online CLUE game going on ~ characters were created using Heritage Makers Studio, and players guessed who the murderer was and where it happened ~ just like the board game. There are a TON of groups to suit many interests ~ to learn about photography, photo editing, and groups that will challenge you with new projects!

My latest was a page map challenge. This layout isn't one I would come up with on my own, and I probably would've added even more embellishments, BUT that's what I love about it! It keeps my ideas running, my projects looking fresh, and in creating future scrap pages, I'm more likely to mix it up more! ;-)

Happy Father's Day!!!

This year, instead of going to the store to pick up a Father's Day card, I made one on Heritage Makers! Fun, easy, and much more personal! (and yes, cheaper when bought in packs)

My dad (and mom) loooved it!!! I found out today that my dad was unsure of my newest career venture...until he had the greeting card in his hands. I can't wait to show them the storybooks this week!

June is the month to buy. The 3-for-1 and 2-for-1 storybook deal is the best I've seen! Such a great investment in all levels!

PLUS, if you purchase from me in the next 5 days, and you're in the L.A. area, you will be entered to WIN a FREE Facial or Chemical Peel from me! If you're not in the L.A. area, you will be entered to win some of my most favorite professional facial products!!!

Get an EXTRA ENTRY by one of two ways: (1) having a friend sign up for an account, purchase, and email me with a note saying you referred them!, or (2) order a Year of Premier or $100+ and get an extra entry...every $25 spent after that gets an extra entry, as well (ex. $125 = 3 entries / $150 = 4 entries / $175 = 5 entries, etc.).

My First Storybook!!!

And the big reveal! Here is my first Storybook with Heritage Makers! For a 21-page book that would've taken me roughly 40+ hours within 20 days to traditionally scrapbook, this took me 12-13 hours within 2 days using Heritage Makers' Studio. I am just as - if not more pleased with the results...there's something to be said about having a professionally published book in your hands with your pictures and your words. ;-)

The rush in getting this book published and the delay in posting it here was all for a get together with my girls last Saturday.

Next up: a storybook of/for me and my guy! ;-)

Wedding Ideas

Okay, I'll admit it...after my November 2009 wedding, I miss wedding planning! And if I knew about Heritage Makers this time last year, I would've been going project-making crazy!!! ;D

Instead, I'll settle for spreading the news to current and future brides. Heritage Makers offers so many starting points for your wedding needs! Invitations are already on the product list, but here are some other thoughts as you or your loved one gets ready for the big day!
  • postcards can be used as Save the Date cards
  • playing cards can be used as place setting cards, response cards, or change of address cards
  • scrapbook pages can be divided up and used as response cards or place setting cards
  • scrapbook pages or canvases can be used for to showcase your beautiful engagement
  • photos & framed for display at your wedding!
  • storybooks can be used as guest books, and of course, wedding books!

    ...you get the idea... The possibilities are endless! Take a look at some of the customizable templates in the Studio.

My First Swatchbook!!!

I figured out how to share my work on here!

This is my first Heritage Makers project, which I completed about 3 weeks ago. I just finished my second last night, which I will post next week.

For now, enjoy this, and know that each side of the swatch has a different concept behind it. In looking at a swatch book, you thumb through just as you would a fabric or paint swatch. The odd numbered pages tell one story of our adventures. The even numbered pages are collages of our adventures (you can fit SO many photos onto one page ~ a problem I found when scrapbooking ~ I wanted to use ALL my photos).

Full Screen button works as it should! :-)
