My latest project...

An 8x8 scrap page (only 3 points, but since I'm on Club HM, it's really about $2).  I am planning to stick it on some chipboard and place it on an easel to sit on a little table on my front porch.  We'll see how it looks.  I'll be sure to post a picture!  Really had fun making this one!!

The "Harley" Book

I've been so excited to share this book that Allison made for her husband, Derek.  She gave it to him on Father's day...and needless to say, he loved it! She said that her mother-in-law cried.  Please take a moment to browse through this precious book.  Allison worked very hard (at home and at the digicrops) to get this finished for him! Great job, girl!

VIEW THIS STORYBOOK

I hope you make it a day full of memories...and then do something fabulous with them!

HM for special Dad's!

Finally....
I've been so excited to post some of my client's Father's Day gifts that they created in studio, but of course, had to wait until after the gifts had been given!So, here we go...


First up...a 7x5 storybook by Carol for her husband Shane.(You've probably seen lots of projects from Carol.  She's one of my most consistent-publishing friend and she does beautiful work!) Wish we lived closer so she could attend the monthly digi-crops.  But Heritage Makers keeps us in touch and I'm so thankful for that. =)

Click HERE to view this precious storybook!!!

Next, an 8x8 canvas I made for my dad...from the grandkids.  

He liked it! =)

Coming soon...one of my favorites! (A "Harley" themed 8x8 book, complete with leather cover)...by Allison S.! Check back today for this very special...very unique project!

Did you take pictures this Father's Day?  Why not make a small canvas or storybook capturing the memories from the weekend?

Blessings for a great day,

~k. 

Something...NEW!

Friends,
A lot of you know I love photography. It's actually a love-hate relationship between my passion for great photos and being behind that little lens and lack of high-tech camera jargon...and then there's the whole "lighting" formula that I feel I'll never really master....


But all that aside, I LOVE to take photos...and to me, the greatest subjects are my kids...actually any kid for that matter.  I intend to take pictures...forever.  But, I'll never (I know you should never say never)...But, I'll never be a REAL photographer.  


That said, I want to try something with my Heritage Makers business.  I'd love to combine the 2 things I spend a large majority of my time doing (photographing and digi-scrappin') and offer you something a little special.  It's special for you...FUN for me!  And, it helps me with those photography "skills!" =)  


And here it is:
Photo Shoot Outdoor setting where your kids run around and do what they do best while I take a few shots with my "high-tech" camera! How's that? But here's the fun part... After our little rendezvous, I'll edit them, upload them to my most favorite digital photo site in the world, Heritage Makers and CREATE a book OR canvas (or both) for your very own...along with a few additional "perks."  Check them out...

Of course, the goal of this is to show you how amazing Heritage Makers is and how it can be your best friend when you want to do something special with those precious photos.  

If you, or someone you know may be interested in any of the options above, then contact me today to schedule a date! I'm excited and hope you will be.

Blessings to all,

~K.

Partner With Me!

If you are looking for a FUN side job, would you partner with me and join my Heritage Makers team?  I can't say enough about this company...They make it pretty easy to have your own business! Discounts on ALL your projects as a consultant...your own "virtual office," DAILY support, no "quota's" to remain a consultant...I can go on and on! For those of you that know me well...you know I am not really a "sales person!"  Honestly, 2 years ago I would have told you I'd NEVER do a direct sales business because it's not my cup of tea.  OK...so never say never.  This is different! When you love the products you're selling and you are passionate about something, it's pretty easy to tell others about it and get them going too! I do contact people about hosting workshops, but you might be surprised to know that lots of people contact me first to get started in this awesome system!! 

Ramble, Ramble, Ramble....If you can't sleep tonight because you're thinking you might like to do this, you can call, e-mail, or facebook me to get more details.  I can put you on a computer "call" to listen to Wendy McGee (a founding director and mother of 4) tell you all about being an HM consultant. OR, you can go right to the website and sign up from there by clicking "join my team" right next to my picture.

Oh, and welcome to my team Julia Ballance!!!! I'm so excited to have you.  She'll be telling everyone in her town of Holly Springs and BEYOND about how awesome HM is! =)

Blessings to you all!

Savannah's Book...Featured on the HM Main Site!!

Signing in to do a little "work" today, I found a nice surprise on the home page!  See that little, well actually BIG, orange book? That would be "Savannah's Creative Book"...a 12X12 post-bound album I made for all of her keepsakes! Thank you Heritage Makers! 

Click HERE to see "Savannah's Creative Book".  It's only the album (back cover and front cover), but it is now full of her drawings, paintings, collectables, etc!


Oh, and this is a great special on the 12x12 post-bound albums! You can go to the website and when you see this ad roll around, click on the link to browse all the albums in the template gallery.

Publishing Club...Be a part of this growing group!

...it's like a gym membership, but so much more FUN!!!  That best describes Club HM.  

Do you have a gym membership?  If so, then you'll understand club hm.  And if you don't, well I'll tell you all about it.  It's a publishing club.  Everyone loves pictures, but most would rather them not hide inside their little computers.  What good are they in there?  With the "digital camera movement" where nearly everyone now has some form of digital camera, people are taking hundreds (even thousands) more pictures than, say 10 years ago.  So, we have a photo problem.  


Memories are being captured, but not communicated!  


So, here's where the "gym" membership comes in.  Just like a gym membership, club hm requires a monthly commitment.  There is a package to suit everyone's needs, but it is designed so that we all can communicate our memories in a creative way...affordably!  


Let me explain further...
There are 3 packages.

I am a "Silver" client!  So, that means, I pay $50 a month...BUT I am receiving 70 publishing points and using the entire premier "scrapbook store" for FREE!  I'm saving $20 which is like publishing a swatch book/flipbook or 5 scrap pages for free.  I publish lots of things including canvases for my family, storybooks, cards...and I give points away to hosts/new clients, etc.  So, this is the perfect package for me.  Club HM is how I do gifts for those I love.  And...it's my hobby.  


With over 5,000 templates in the gallery to choose from...the hard work is already done for me if I don't want to create from scratch.  I can have a gift ready in no time!  


So, to me, Club HM is the best kind of membership you can have.  The product you'll have to show for it will be AMAZING! 


If you absolutely want to do something awesome with your most cherished possession...your photos, please contact me! I love my job because everyone has a story and I get to experience all of them as they are communicated through Heritage Makers.


Blessings,
~K.

Custom Address Labels Now Available in Studio

~Message from HM this morning...

The summer is here and we have a special gift for all you wonderful Heritage Makers! HM address labels are NOW AVAILABLE in studio...a week early!
Use your points to create beautiful custom printed address labels. Its a great way to have your letter stand out with extra personality. Labels are printed 54 in a sheet for only 4 points (that's only about 7¢ a label). Club HM members get it for even less!!


I'm planning to print some of these to place on all HM catalogs and flyers!  Love it!  They would also be great to place inside your children's books..."Property of Noah Williams"  or your own books! Hope you enjoy!
