TODAY, Nov 26th is Small Business Saturday!

2011-11-26T11:30:00.000-08:00

What is "Small Business Saturday®" and why is it important? AMEX started promoting this as a day dedicated to supporting small businesses on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year.

On November 26, everyone is being asked to "Shop Small" with their favorite local stores and home-based businesses to help fuel the economy. When we all shop small, it will be huge!

If you haven't ordered your holiday cards yet, you can help support my small business AND I have a great sale to offer you. 20% off all cards. Cards start as low as $0.64 and I take care of designing the cards for you!

Here's some of the latest samples of card designs:

Do Something EASY & MEANINGFUL for Our Military This Holiday Season

2011-11-17T23:44:00.001-08:00

“Everyone has a purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” - Deepak Chopra

On Veterans Day last week, we reflected on the sacrifices members of the U.S. Armed Forces made and continue to make everyday to protect our freedoms. I am so grateful for this and wanted to find a way to show my appreciation and help others do the same.

Sending a “touch of home” to American men and women who serve our country is the perfect way to express your appreciation and support during the holiday season. Making a card is a simple act of kindness that means the world to our soldiers and their families, especially during this time of the year.

If you'd like to make a hero feel special this holiday season, please consider sending a card through my Heritage Makers website to the Holiday Mail for Heroes program. I designed four different card templates to use especially for this. They were just approved and loaded into our template gallery yesterday.

It's EASY and only takes a few minutes. Cards as low as $0.64

Click here to visit my website.
If you do not already have a Heritage Makers Studio publishing account, you can sign up for FREE here. Once you have logged in, browse through the Template Gallery. Use the single keyword search box and type in the word “military” or “Leah” to find the appropriate templates. View the template details and get the template to start customizing your card.

You will also have the option to Direct Ship the card...meaning, we will take care of printing the card, stuffing and addressing the envelope(s), and then mailing the card for you. All you do is click and we take care of the rest!

If you are new to Heritage Makers, I highly suggest watching the following video tutorial on how to create a Greeting Card and direct ship it to someone:

The address to direct ship the card to is:

Holiday Mail For Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456

To ensure that cards submitted through Heritage Makers Direct Ship option arrive in time, PLEASE SUBMIT & PUBLISH ALL CARDS by WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30th.

************************
IMPORTANT NOTE
************************

FOR EVERY CARD SENT THROUGH MY WEBSITE I WILL BE MATCHING THE CARD DONATION.

For example, if 100 cards are sent to the Holiday Mail for Heroes program I will send another 100 cards so that WE REACH TWICE AS MANY servicemen/women this holiday season.

Thank you so much! Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season!

If you have any questions, please feel free to CONTACT ME

NEW - Publishing Point System

2010-08-11T00:30:00.001-07:00

At our Reunion event in Phoenix this week, we’re making an exciting announcement. We will be introducing a Publishing Points system. This is great news for you!

We are in the process of turning all credits into the new HM publishing point system. As of August 16, 2010 the credits in your account will be given their equivalent point value.

Click here to read more about why we are so excited for points. Here's why you should be, too.

• Credits are being converted to the full retail price of the item you purchased.
• You can now use your points on ANY product, but you aren’t tied into the product you originally purchased.
• You can easily create birthday gifts, holiday presents, or home décor without worrying about purchasing a specific item.

All newly purchased points will now expire after two years instead of one year. All previously purchased credits that have been converted to points will expire two years from the date the credit was purchased. Logging into the HM site after the conversion happens will allow you to see the new expiration date for your points.

Here’s an example.

Credit Type Quantity Retail Price Point Value
5x5 storybook 1 $34.95 34.95
7.5x10 storybook 3 $59.96 179.85

The points system is going to make creating your favorite Heritage Makers projects much easier. You should notice the change in your account by August 16th.

Website maintenance
The Heritage Makers website will be unavailable Sunday August 15 at 8:00 p.m. until Monday August 16 at 6:00 a.m. MDT. This is in preparation for the roll of the publishing points system anad new product development code.

For more information about publishing points, see the announcement above.

Tips for Taking Baby Photos

2010-07-15T10:24:00.000-07:00

check out these 10 tips for taking the perfect baby photo thanks to our friends from Kodak and the Heritage Makers blog.

1. Get down on their level. Hold your camera at the baby’s eye level to capture the power of those magnetic gazes and mesmerizing smiles.

2. Use a plain background. An uncluttered background forces attention on your baby. Place your baby against a plain background or move yourself (and the camera) a few feet.

3. Capture feelings. A smirk, a frown, a wail - capture all the emotions, not just the pretty smiles. Babies are uninhibited and uncensored, show it in your pictures.

4. Get close. Zoom in, filling the frame to emphasize what’s important, creating a more impactful photo. Capture the details, like blue eyes, a toothless smile, or tiny fingers.

5. Show scale. Take pictures of your baby with items that will show her relative size - a teddy bear or Daddy’s hands. Take a series of pictures with the same object as your baby grows.

6. Try different angles. Get down on their level, shoot from high above, shoot some sideways, some looking up at them.

7. Include other people. Capture others with the baby - Big Sister feeding the baby or Grandpa dancing with his little grandson. Make sure to include everyone who visits your baby.

8. Take some vertical pictures. Many subjects look better in a vertical picture - from the Eiffel Tower to portraits of your friends. Make a conscious effort to take some vertical pictures.

9. Use natural light. Shoot photos next to windows or outdoors, taking advantage of natural light. Cloudy, overcast days provide the best lighting for pictures of people.

10. Take lots of photos. Always keep your camera handy! Babies change so fast, capture every moment right from birth, including all firsts. Document a day in the life of your baby.

Christmas in July Sale!!!

2010-07-01T12:21:00.001-07:00

Why wait to get your Christmas greeting cards, holiday canvases, or new year calendars? At Heritage Makers, it’s time for Christmas in July! Buy now…create later! Here's what's on sale:

Free NKOTB Calendar while supplies last!

2010-06-23T03:04:00.000-07:00

It’s no secret that I’m a huge NKOTB fan. Last month, I attended the first two shows of their “CasiNO tour” at the Palms in Las Vegas and had a blast! With those being my only events of the year and the great pictures I was able to take from the FRONT ROW, I got inspired to create a 18-month NKOTB calendar to give me something on my desk to look at and reminisce with through the rest of this year and all of 2011.

As a Heritage Makers Personal Publishing Consultant, from time to time I receive coupons for free product that I can share with NEW clients on my website. This time I have free coupons for your choice of either a swatch book or a flip book ($19.95 value). The preview shown above is a flip book (that I designed as a pocket calendar). These coupons expire 6/30/10 so you’ll want to act quickly if you want one.

Follow the instructions below for your free NKOTB calendar:

1) Go to my website http://www.StorybookHeritage.com and create your free Studio account.

2) Once you have created your account, you will see a confirmation message on the screen with your Studio Account Login ID#. Please take note of this number.

3) Send an email through my website or directly to Leah@StorybookHeritage.com and in the subject line write “I would like a FREE product coupon” and in the email include your name and Studio Account ID#

The coupon will be emailed to the email address you used when you created your account and it will contain instructions on how to redeem your coupon and receive your calendar in the mail. The other cool thing is that you can either order the calendar as is with the pictures I took or you can swap them out with any personal pictures you want to use before you publish your project. It’s really easy and will look super cute!

Unfortunately, if you already have a Heritage Makers Studio account with me or another consultant, the coupon is not valid...NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY. And, if you know of someone who would love something like this, please feel free to pass my info along to them. Referrals are always welcomed and appreciated.

If you see other items on my website that you like, make sure to contact me first because the prices listed are regular retail prices and I always give a special discount on everything to my clients and email newsletter subscribers.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my business and for supporting a fellow BH sister =).

Also, if you’re looking to earn part-time or full-time income or maybe you’d like to earn some fun money (for future NK adventures), you’ll want to consider becoming a personal publishing consultant with Heritage Makers. It has been such a blessing in my life to be able to combine my passion for photos, an outlet for my creativity and allow me to work from home so that I can truly enjoy time with my young children.

**15 coupons available and they will be given on a 1st come basis while supplies last. Limit one coupon per person per valid account created on my website. Coupon will take care of the cost of the product but you will be responsible for the cost of shipping. At this time, product may only be shipped in the U.S. and Canada.

My 2009 Family Yearbook

2010-01-23T21:46:00.000-08:00

You're probably like me and have many pictures from last year. I love to reminisce about all the wonderful moments that I shared with family and loved ones, so I have been working on my 2009 family yearbook. This is the template I decided to use for my book.

What is making it easy for me to fill the pages of my book is that I organized and uploaded pictures to my Heritage Studio albums by month. I have found that this is by far the simplest way to keep photos organized and easy to reference based on the date the pictures were taken. For each photo, I am able to add notes and details immediately after I upload them to the album and this has made writing the "story" for my yearbook go quickly.

This Week's Holiday Hits Sale - Cookbooks

2009-11-24T16:53:00.001-08:00

Through Monday, Nov 30th (11AM - PST), get a package of Heritage Makers Cookbooks and each book comes out to only $15! Not too late to have the best Christmas presents this year using Heritage Makers. It's easy with one of our amazing templates! You can put your family's favorite recipes and pictures together in one of these wire-bound books.

One of my clients had talked about how she plans to collect one to two recipes from each of her siblings and will put a few photos of them alongside those recipes and then order enough copies to give each of them one as a gift. She's also giving it to her nieces who don't have families of their own yet, and she felt it was important to do this so that they would have it and could also pass it down when the time came.

My grandmother was such a great cook and as a kid I loved being able to help her in the kitchen and being the first to sample the food she cooked. I would've loved a cookbook of her recipes so that I could have shared it with my family. But since she is no longer with us, and her recipes were never written down, I will be starting a new collection of family recipes. As we gather over Thanksgiving, I will be collecting recipes from my mom and my aunts to start this new family cookbook because when my daughters are older, I want them to have this piece of their heritage live on and celebrated with their families.

Greeting Cards as low as 80 cents!!! PLUS We Can Send Them Out for You...

The Heritage Makers Business Opportunity

2009-09-29T22:10:00.000-07:00

People ask me all the time how I got started as a Heritage Makers consultant. I found it during a time when I was looking for something but didn't quite know what it was. I wanted to have a fulfilling career, but I did not want to sacrifice time with my family.

I've always loved taking photos and I even dabbled heavily into the world of scrapbooking, but all this was just scratching the surface.

2009-04-30T00:44:00.000-07:00

Another great idea for Heritage Makers scrapbook pages is to create decorative tiles that can be displayed in your home.

I was really happy with how my tile came out. It is one of my favorite pictures from when my husband and I took our engagement photos almost 8 years ago. People ask me all the time where this picture was taken. Where do you think it is? It's actually the gate to the Grand Californian Hotel from Downtown Disney in Anaheim, CA. If you went there today, however, this gate isn't usually closed like this during the day. Lucky for us, on this particular day it was so that we could have Twinetter Sowell take this awesome picture for us.

Fun Heritage Home Ideas - Coasters

2009-04-26T00:35:00.000-07:00

Personalized Photo Coasters are not only great to display and use in your home, but they also make wonderful gifts - Mother's Day, housewarming, etc - a unique gift that everyone will love! These were made with Heritage Makers scrapbook pages are the ultimate when it comes to photo coasters.

I gave these to my Mom for Mother's Day and she said, "I want more coasters, please. These are just too cute!" One of the reasons she loved them so much is that it's a great way for her to share the latest pictures of her grandkids whenever someone comes over to visit.

Here's how to make your own set of personalized coasters:
Use our 8x8 or 12x12 scrapbook pages (depending on how many coasters you want to make) to design your coasters. Once you've received your published page, cut out the squares then apply a thin coat of mod podge directly onto a 4x4 tumbled tile. This type of tile can be purchased at your local home improvement store. Position the page onto the tile and then smooth out the surface to get rid of any bubbles. Wipe excess mod podge from the edge of the tile and then allow it to dry for about 20 minutes. The apply a light coat of mod podge over the page to "seal" it on the tile. Allow another 20 minutes to dry. Since these are coasters, I would also recommend spray some sort of water sealant over the entire tile.

It's been great these past few weeks! Babyfest in Bakersfield was such a wonderful event and I met so many amazing people. Valerie McDonough and Diane Tiede joined our team and I'm so excited for them. Their passion for story and photos is so inspiring and I can't wait to help them with their business launch.

We also had our first DigiCrop in the LA area on February 28 and it was so much fun! Hazel was our instructor for the evening and she shared so many great tips and tricks on how to make wonderful page layouts for our storybooks. She was feeling really generous so everyone who attended got a free template of their choice and a free storycard credit. Christine Bryant, the massage therapist, was definitely one of the favorites of the evening! And of course, Terrace Cafe provided a wonderful venue and really yummy food!

Another example of how bringing people together to share their stories and photos and creating storybooks is pure magic :)

Can't wait until next month!
