You ask why in the world would I want to digital storybook/scrapbook? Here are some reasons that you may have never thought of:

1. No mess! Within minutes it's easy to cover an entire table with papers, embellishments, glue, pens, pictures, and still not have everything you need to complete the perfect page. You can now sit on the couch with your laptop, while your kids watch a movie, and create all you want. And clean up is a real SNAP...Just turn of the computer!

2. Did you take the time to handwrite the stories that go along with all the photos in your scrapbook albums? Probably not! Publish with HM Studio and there's no need to go back through the years of scrapbook pages to fill in the story gaps you left because you ran out of time. Journaling is just as fun as the rest of it now!

3. No more trips to the photo store to resize, recolor, or reprint pictures. You can do it all with the mouse. What took 3-5 pages of scrapbooking can now fit into 1 or 2 page layouts!

4. All-inclusive pricing. The cost of a Premier account includes all the embellishments, alphabets, paper, etc. that I will ever need. It's like the whole scrapbook store right at my fingertips! No need to stock up on flowers, ribbon and the like. A lot less waste. And it's cheaper in the long run!

5. You won't get bored. It's easy to get bored quickly with a computer program that doesn't change, or that is so one dimensional that you can't learn anything new. You'll love the tutorials in Heritage Makers and the opportunities to learn new techniques and features. It keeps you hooked and learning new things all the time!

6. You can fill the gaps in a traditional scrapbook with digital pictures from Heritage Makers. Drag and drop into a template those events that perhaps didn't warrant a little extra time to scrap. You can do a page in 8 minutes with this and it looks fab!

7. It warms your heart to make a book for a mother of her grandchildren. And it brings satisfaction to know that your children will have a sense of history in a storybook that will last a lifetime. Mother's Day is coming up. Need some gift ideas?

We've just added 2 great new sizes to our gallery-wrapped canvas line and you're going to LOVE them! The new sizes are: 8" x 20" and 8" x 8". The possibilities for creativity with these versatile sizes are endless!

I just created the above templates as a set to decorate your baby's nursery or toddler's bedroom. Customize the 8" x 8" name plate canvas with your baby's name, birth date/weight, etc. And, as always, you can customize ANYTHING else you wish...change or add elements, photos, etc. to make them your own!

There are so many fun ideas for these new canvas sizes. Check out other templates already in the Template Gallery. And I have many other template designs I'm working on...I'll post them here as they are completed.
