Holiday Specials

The Holidays are coming and Heritage Makers has some specials to help.  


November 3 - 10
Our first special is Calendars. Get started on those now so you will be ready to order November 3-10 to get the best deal.  These make great gifts that keep on giving month after month as you turn a new page to see new photos of your favorite people and things. Click here to browse the template gallery for Calendar templates. 

November 10 - 17
Next is Storybooks (or photo books as some of us call them). This includes the lay-flat book and extra pages!  I have to get busy on my books immediately so I will be ready to publish by November 10 - 17.  My list just may be a bit too ambitious....so I better get started now! Click here to see storybook templates. 

November 17 - 24
Greeting cards are November 17-24.  So, plan your photo shoots now so you will have your photos in time to order your cards during this special. Click here to see card templates. 

November 24 - December 1
Canvases and Metal Prints are on special November 24 - December 1.  These are super easy and quick to complete and make unique and memorable gifts. Click here to see templates for canvases and metal prints. 

December 1 - 8
Photo Gifts are also super easy and quick. This includes Playing Cards, Mugs, Phone Cases, Ornanments, Tag-Along Necklaces. As we get closer to the big day, we all need a gift that is quick and easy to get ordered and on its way to our door. Click here to see templates for these photo gifts. 

December 8 - 15
And to wrap up our Holiday publishing season, Calendars for the New Year will be on special December.  This time frame is after the shipping deadline so any calendars ordered during this time will not arrive in time for Christmas. That's why they are "for the New Year"...see what they did there? Clever, huh? Click here to see templates for 2015 Calendars. 

Ok, so there you go. All your holiday publishing is planned out for you and you get to take advantage of the best savings!  Ready, set.....GO! 

Let me know if you need any help or have any questions. I'm always here to help. Just send me a text and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Happy Fall Y'All

Calendars are one of our most popular Christmas gifts and now is a perfect time to get some gifts marked off your list. 

 Click here to see the NEW Desktop Calendar templates!


Heritage Makers has a new calendar style - a Desktop calendar.  

Click here to see the NEW Desktop calendar templates! 

In addition to Desktop calendars, there are the "Now and Later Calendars" 

 This customizable calendar is something to enjoy now AND for years to come! (Get it? Now and Later) 

 Each page is carefully perforated in two places, allowing you to tear it away from the binding and remove the calendar grid—leaving you with a 12 x 12 page to add to your scrapbook! 

Along with these unique Calendar styles, Heritage Makers has traditional 11x8.5 and 11x16 Calendars. 

 Click here to see the 11x16 Calendar templates.

Personalize each page with photos and text, then add holidays, birthdays, anniversaries and appointments that are important to you.

 Click here to see the 11x8.5 Calendar templates. 
If you missed the last online class highlighting Halloween and Thanksgiving themed templates and how to successfully make subway art and use the Rulers tool, click here to watch the recording. 

 If you need a little help getting a project started or finishing one, my next Digi-Crop is Saturday, October 18 from 10 am until 6 pm, come and go. Email me at Rebecca@OurPhotoStories.com to RSVP and for location.

Patriotic Templates

by Brooke Mehr, Studio Product Assistant

The patriotic holidays are recent memories and now is the time to create and order your personal tribute projects! Here are a few of our favorite templates that you could easily customize for yourself or as a gift.
The "My American Hero" collection from Studio Creative Team Lead, Roxanne Buchholz, is a wonderful tribute set for the hero in your family. For a Canadian Hero variation, simply swap out papers and embellishments to create a more Canadian color scheme and change the text to say "Canadian Hero." With Studio, it's as easy as that!



"My American Hero" 20 x 16 Wrapped Canvas, template 89652; Love Mug,template 109043; and 5 x 7 Invitation, template 89653.

For a more vintage option, Roxanne has also created the new "Patriotic Hero" set. There is an American version and a Canadian version, and each set has a 20 x 16 Wrapped Canvas and a coordinating 12 x 12 Scrap Page template.



"Patriotic American Hero", template 123180 and "Patriotic Canadian Hero", template 123178, both 20 x 16 wrapped Canvases. Coordinating 12 x 12 Scrap Page templates are available in the Template Gallery.
 
To help you show your patriotic spirit at home, here are a few colorful word art templates that we know you will love!
The "Patriotic Subway" set by Brooke Mehr is a very quickly customizable and completely Basic option that would make a wonderful addition to your home decor for the upcoming patriotic holidays. Simply replace the name at the bottom with your family name and then publish!
If you would like, you can also change the colors to suit your home decor or personal style. There are also similar Basic templates available for other holidays or events. Check out the coordinating templates in the Template Gallery!


"Patriotic Subway - USA", template 122975 and "Patriotic Subway - Canada", template 123118, both 11 x 14 Prints.Whether your personal style is traditional or a bit more contemporary, these two templates both make great home decor options.



"Pledge of Allegiance" by Studio Creative Team member, Cassie Balser, template 123163 and "Liberty and Justice for All" by Brooke Mehr, Basic template 123451, both 11 x 14 Prints.



These two coordinating patriotic invitations are very popular designs. "Fireworks and Freedom Party" by Roxanne Buchholz is template 89649 and "Canada Day Invitation" by Lynda Angelastro is template 89657.

If you need a simple and fun scrap page template to commemorate a patriotic celebration that has already come and gone, Studio Creative Team member, Cassie Balser, has created coordinating 12 x 12 Scrap Page templates for Independence Day and Canada Day.



"Independence Day", template 123165 and "Oh Canada", template 123164.


Were none of these templates quite your style? Remember that you can change a template as much as you would like or start from scratch and create something completely unique. With your Heritage Makers Studio editor, the possibilities are endless!

Please let me know if I can help you start a project with these new templates.

Your Style, Your Way

by Roxanne Buchholz, Studio Creative Team Manager
One of the easiest ways to get started with designing a scrap page is to use a design map or a “sketch.” Design maps take the guesswork out of where to begin, by giving you the suggested placement of photos, embellishments, and papers, as seen through the eyes of a designer. They give you an idea of where to begin, but where you take the design is completely up to your imagination.
Each month, our Studio Creative Team is tasked with creating their own design from the supplied monthly design map. This month we shared “Sporty Design Map” 12 x 12 scrap page by Roxanne Buchholz, template 123459, and asked them to add their style to a sport of their choice. As you can see below, lots of interesting and diverse designs emerged.
“Sporty Design Map,” template 123459 and “Basketball by Sara,” template 123463

“Baseball by Brooke,” template 122974 and “Gymnastics by Kari,” template 123145

“Track and Field by Michelle,” template 123142 and “Football by Cassie,”template 123253

“Golf by Roxanne,” template 123460 and “Soccer by Leanne,” template 123151

Do you have a child or spouse that plays sports? If you do, this design map is a great way to help you get started. Even if you don’t have a sports fan in the family, design maps are made to fit with any hobby, special occasion, or everyday moment. Remember to capture all of your favorite memories with easy to customize products from Heritage Makers. We have all the templates and art collections to make your creative dreams come true!

Please let me know if I can help you start a project with these new templates.

Building Self-Esteem Through Sports

by Roxanne Buchholz, Studio Creative Team Manager
Many parents enroll their children in sports to build their child’s self-esteem – but to help your child get the most out of their sport, you need to be actively involved both on and off the field.

Did you know that when we take the time to elevate a memory, documenting it on a scrap page or in a storybook, to write down the words of that experience, we validate their importance as we cherish the memory over and over? The interactions kids have with teammates, coaches, officials, and parents shape how kids feel about themselves, so why not take the time to reinforce those special sports memories and important life lessons in one of the hundreds of sports-themed templates available through Heritage Makers.

Below are two of the newly-released sports collections from Roxanne Buchholz, our Studio Creative Team Manager. Roxanne has created complete collections for over 20 different sports, so be sure to look for your favorite sport in the Template Gallery or refer to our handy Sports Template Sampler chart:http://blog.heritagemakers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sports-Templates-copy.png

The “Baseball Game Day” template collection features grunge-style projects for your player and his teammates, as well as wonderful thank you gifts for the coach.


“Baseball Game Day” 4 x 6 Invitation, template 123116; Love Mug, template 123110; 11 x 14 Print, template 123111; 12 x 12 Wrapped Canvas, template 123112; and 8 x 8 Storybook, template 122381

Please note that the baseball templates seen above can easily be customized to fit a different sport, using the very versatile “Go Team” digital art collections from which this multi-sport “Game Day” 3 x 9 Notepad Set, template 122297, was inspired.

If your daughter loves gymnastics, tumbling, or dance class, then this “Perfect 10 Gymnastics” template collection is just for you. Motivational in nature, the projects pair inspirational word art with famous gymnast quotes to give your daughter that extra burst of self-confidence that she can carry with her in her sport as well as in life. A few of our best-loved products from the collection are shown here.


“Perfect 10 Gymnastics” 8 x 8 Wrapped Canvas, template 123392; 16 x 20 Wrapped Canvas, template 123388; 8 x 8 Storybook, template 123395; 15.5 x 11 Bracket Metal Print, template 123387; Love Mug, template 123394; and Brag Bag, template 123390

As with most aspects of parenting, being actively involved and talking with your children about their life is very important. Being proud of accomplishments, sharing in wins and defeats, and talking to them about what has happened, helps them develop skills for a successful and happy life.

Get started today by building your child’s self-esteem with one of our 8 x 8 sports storybooks, which are the featured Product of the Month, saving you an additional 10% off at check-out. This precious time invested in your child’s development is something that you won’t want to miss!

Please let me know if I can help you start a project with these new templates.
