My Thoughts

What fun things did you do this summer?

I LOVE to travel and had the opportunity to visit the beautiful state of Utah this summer! Yes, I took lots of photos and have already published my book.
A few weeks back I ran across some old vacation photos from around 1976. I became lost in time as I sat there looking at each photo and remembering the details of friendship, places, events, sounds and smells. I was surprised just how many details I could remember about some of the photos and was saddened at the same time because there were many photos that the details had already faded from my memory.

Don't let the details for your summer vacations, family and class reunions fade away. Now is the time to preserve those stories and photos while the details are so vivid. To make your book even more complete, scan or photography your vacation mementos like souvenirs, brochures, maps, tickets and menus and then include them in your storybook.
I would love to answer any questions you may have and help you get started on your projects. I can be reached at 580-327-7027.

Pick of the Month - June


Specials expire June 30, 2009.
Now is the time to publish that family yearbook, your wedding album, your mother’s story, and the big events in your life.

Home Decor Idea



Create Acrylic Photo Cubes using Individual Pages
(12x12, 8x8, 8.5x11)!
You can find fun acrylic cubes for about $3 at Walmart, Hobby Lobby or other craft stores. In the samples above, Heidi used a 12x12 page and visually divided it into 9 sections. She then combined art and photos within each section that followed the chosen theme. Heritage Makers then printed her page and mailed it directly to her. She then cut the sections apart (a paper cutter helps ensure straight cut). To assemble her project, she justed pulled the cube apart, removed the paper box, then placed an art section on each side of the paper box using a small bit of glue or removable tape. Reassemble the cube and display!


Display on the table of a wedding or baby shower
Display your values like honesty and trust in each section
Place your personal or business goals within each section and display them on your desk.

Studio Tip

Make Circles and Ovals from Papers and Photos

















Drag your paper or photo onto your page, then click on it. Go to your Tool Box and move the Round Corner slider or toggle until your image reaches the desired appearance (Note: to save time, you can just type in 1000 & hit enter). One important note is your photo or paper has to start as a square to get a circle and as a rectangle to get an oval.

Two ideas for creating a square photo:
1) Put a square shape or any paper onto your page, lock the image, then just swap your photo into it. Adjust your crop area if needed before rounding. (Note: all paper/cardstock is a 12x12 square)
2) Place your photo on the page and then use the crop tool to create a square. You might want to use the Ruler to help ensure a perfect square.

Father's Day Inspiration & Quotes


What Makes A Dad
Author Unknown

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,

The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,

Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad



Title Unknown
Author Unknown

4 years: My Daddy can do anything!
7 years: My Dad knows a lot...a whole lot.
8 years: My father does not know quite everything.
12 years: Oh well, naturally Father does not know that either.
14 years: Oh, Father? He is hopelessly old-fashioned.
21 years: Oh, that man-he is out of date!
25 years: He knows a little bit about it, but not much.
30 years: I must find out what Dad thinks about it.
35 years: Before we decide, we will get Dad's idea first.
50 years: What would Dad have thought about that?
65 years: I wish I could talk it over with Dad once more.
