November Digicrop Crafts

The November Digicrop at Flash Image Studio is quickly approaching. This is our second month to have it at our new location and we are loving it. If you missed last month come check out the new place and get a bunch of work done on your Christmas projects!

Bring your laptop, and a smile...there will be snacks, come and go as you please, but most importantly get the time, and support you need to complete all those projects you want for Christmas (or have just been meaning to make).

November Take Home Project: We are offering 3 different items to spruce up your Thanksgiving Holiday. Cost includes everything you will need to assemble them at the Digicrop.

Blessings Bucket ($18):

Table Display/Banner ($7):

Table Setting ($12) includes 1 table banner and 14 place settings:

You can make 1 or all 3 if you like. Let me know by October 25th which ones you would like to create. I will be ordering all the supplies by that date.

Reminder: Christmas publishing deadline for everything except cards is December 6th!

FREE scanning: Bring any images you don't have preserved digitally and I will scan them for you. FREE for the first 100 images, 19 cents per scan after that.

If you have never attended Digicrop before, come check it out; we have a great time. If you are new to Heritage Makers you will want to come for sure so I can quickly help you get started on your projects. If you want to see all the amazing things you can do to preserve your photos and family memories, this is the place to be!

Always love taking photos with these girls; they are beautiful. First shoot in the new studio as well so it was an extra special day. Thanks girls!

October Newsletter

I simply love being a heritage maker! I create beautiful projects for my clients, home and family; having Heritage Makers as part of my business has been amazing.

Several companies offer online publishing, but what distinguishes Heritage Makers from all the rest is our Premier art collection. With a Premier membership, you get unlimited use of a fantastic collection of professionally designed templates and digital art. If you would like to try a Premier membership, I have a fantastic opportunity for you.

Sparking your Creativity

A few weeks ago I was asked to create a book for a local dance team. It was a surprise gift for their coach and I had a short amount of time to do it in. So naturally I consulted the HM Template Gallery to find a good launching point for the book.

Looking outside the box I found the following template: FAMILY REUNION BOOK

I loved it so gave it a shot and was able to create this: DANCE BOOK!

Thank you Kim and the rest of the Dream Dancers team for the opportunity; I am so glad you love your book.

Here is a design I made for a bride and friend of mine, Mandy Messer. It was a gift for the couple who hosted the wedding at their residence.

Let me know if you would like to design a canvas print for your own home; I will show you how easy it is through Heritage Makers

Newest Poster Design

This is a poster I designed for my friend Bobbie in Florida. It is a hospital that the electric company she works for built.
The building is incredible!
It was fun designing this one because it was such a different subject than what I am use to.
Thanks Bobbie for the opportunity, I hope you like them!
