Our Family ABC Book

I love books! I love to read them, buy them and share them with my family and friends! My first completed project was an ABC book for my kids. My husband even helped me put some finishing touches in it...hidden inside some of the pages are items to find. For example, an ice cream cone on the "I" page, a key on the "K" page, a yak on the "Y" page and smiley faces on the "S" page... This book was fun, because each page is different and I learned a lot about different designs and art collection options.
I recommend for your first project to start with a smaller book, card, poster, or use a template that you love. It can be overwhelming to create your own book from scratch, because the art collection has so much to offer. Good luck, and enjoy it the process!

Here is a link to my book:

Welcome to my new Heritage Makers blog!

I am so excited to introduce myself and to share my Heritage Maker projects with you!

I joined Heritage Makers in August of 2009. I learned about this awesome company over the previous summer from a friend. I wasn't sure if I wanted to pursue a story booking business at first, but I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was one of those ideas that kept me awake at night. I kept reviewing all the projects and ideas that I wanted to make. I joined because I am a big believer in creating great family traditions and memories.

I have never been a "scrapbooker". I actually call myself a "photo albumer", but now, I call myself a Heritage Maker! I love making my own books. My kids love to carry around little photo albums with family pictures in them, and now they can carry around their own storybook filled with fun memories. The great part is that I enjoy making these books, my children love to read them, and these books will be preserved for future generations.

I am really excited about this business, and the opportunities that it offers for you and your families! I hope to share some of my family traditions with you through this blog.
