From Computer to CANVAS

I used to have bare, boring, ugly walls. Sure, I added the HGTV-recommended "paint on the walls" but still...bare and boring.

I spent years (yes, years), looking for the perfect piece of art to invest in - or at least something that I could put on the wall that I would love day after day.

The walls stayed bare.

But NOW, my walls have made my house a home and I LOVE the artwork!

I use Heritage Studio to make CUSTOM CANVAS PRINTS (gallery-wrapped) with my favorite photos! (I love to give them as gifts too!)



Every room has a beautiful canvas print - or two or three - that celebrate what matters most - FAMILY!
Thinking..."Too hard to make!" or "Can't afford it?"
Think AGAIN!

Check out this quick clip about how EASY and AFFORDABLE custom canvas prints are with Heritage Studio:

EASY Thanksgiving Memories

It's the most wonderful time of the year - being surrounded by loved ones, special stories and good memories.

As we gather with family, friends and loved ones this week, here are some fun ways you can make sure that the special moments will never be forgotten!

- Camera is ready, battery charged...now...USE it! :) (Tip: I get busy, so I have my kids be the "photographers" for part of the day, to make sure pictures are being taken and memories are being saved no matter what.) Be sure to take lots of photos of the memories and heritage that are being made and the special people in your life - including you!

- Print off copies of the attached "Story Maps" - My kids LOVE this and it brings priceless conversation and family stories. Kids (and adults alike) can be "reporters" and interview loved ones with the Story Map. Then, they write down the answers. "What was your favorite subject in school?", "What did you dream about becoming when you were a teenager?", "How did you purpose?" and MORE! (The Story Maps are found on the Heritage Studio home page for more themes and ideas. They are free - just download and print.)

- Share stories - The best gifts of the season are the memories. Sharing family and other special stories are a great way to strengthen family and bring generations closer together.

- Tell everyone to bring their favorite Thanksgiving (or any) recipes written down - or email them to you ahead of time - Or just collect them when everyone is together. The idea is to collect and preserve the favorite recipes.

QUICK & EASY WAY TO PRESERVE MEMORIES - Great Gift Idea too!

With the photos and recipes from Thanksgiving, you can put together a custom cookbook in minutes!

And now, you have a quick and meaningful Christmas gift for everyone that they are going to LOVE!

There are over 50 pre-designed templates to choose from! Just put in your own photos and recipes and you're DONE!

Every Month - A Memory

I have never been a "calendar lover"...until I started making my own custom calendars in Heritage Studio.

Now that I can add my own images to the months' pages and my own text to the important dates - I am hooked.

That's what a calendar is all about right? Not just the "official" important dates adorned with photographs of nature or comic strips. Every month - every day - is about our LIVES. Our own special people, places and memories and the important dates that are important to us as individuals and as families.

I think that is why these custom calendars are such a huge hit for Christmas and holiday gifts. Because we KNOW that they are going to be USED and we KNOW that they are going to be LOVED.

Hey, and at this "Pick of the Month" price, they are so budget-friendly, I can hardly stand it!

You can get as many calendar credits as you want at these SUPER-LOW PRICES and you do NOT have to make them all the same - or even all for the holidays.

Check out the TEMPLATE GALLERY too - there are some great calendar templates. The design work is done for you (and you can customize the design however you wish!)

Click on image for details and contact me to place your order for calendar credits or anything else you want. I also am happy to answer your questions too. :)

Buy More - Save More!
