Studio Tip of the Day

When designing paper, photo and embellishment-intensive projects, be sure to remove all left over items from the pasteboard (the white space surrounding the live print area). Occasionally, projects with element-intensive pages and cluttered pasteboard areas do not print correctly. Removing left over design components from the pasteboard lowers overall file size and helps your product print more quickly and dependably.

HERITAGE MAKERS FEATURED IN WOMAN’S DAY MAGAZINE

Provo, Utah – March 23, 2011 – Heritage Makers, the leader in personal publishing for hardbound storybooks, was recently featured in the nationally acclaimed Woman’s Day magazine. The article, written by financial guru Mary Hunt, praises the home-party network as a profitable business opportunity for women who wish to contribute to the family income without working outside of the home. Heritage Makers was one of three companies highlighted in the article. The magazine is now on newsstands.

2011 Ambassador Family for North Fulton March for Babies

Dear Family and Friends ~

Our family is honored to be the Ambassador Family for the 2011 North Fulton March for Babies! We are very excited to be a part of March for Babies on April 30th in Roswell, GA and hope you will join our team!

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small and often very sick. We're walking because our first son was born 16 weeks to early. We're walking because we want to do something about this...

The money we raise will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Please join our team. You can do so on our website. If you can't walk with us, please help us reach our goal by making a donation. You can do that online as well. ***All donations are matched by Northside Hospital*** 

Thank you for helping us give all babies a healthy start!

Would you like to see what March for Babies is and why we're walking?

Connect with Cards

We all know how important it is to connect with people. We send birthday cards to friends and family, Mother's Day cards to mom, sympathy cards to those grieving, and thank you notes to express our gratitude. Think about how warm and fuzzy you feel when you receive a card in the mail from someone who thought enough to send it. Now think about how warm and fuzzy someone else feels when YOU send THEM a card!

Now think about how much you are spending to create those warm and fuzzy feelings. If you are like me, I suffered from "sticker shock" the last time I looked for a greeting card at my local card store! And then to have to slap the postage on top of that was ridiculous. So I found an affordable way to send custom cards to your friends, family and business contacts that they will love and I want to share with you...

I simply use my Studio account with MyStoryBookLady.com to create my cards, address them and send them all right from my computer! For example, when I know that a friend's birthday is coming up I log into my account. I look in the Template Gallery for a birthday card template that I like. I get the template and  customize or edit however I want. Then I publish the card. It will then go into my "completed projects" where I can choose to "direct ship" the card to a recipient in my address book. I check out using my Club HM discounted publishing points that I receive each month and pay .63 cents for my card to be printed, stuffed, addressed and sent First Class to my recipient! It's way cheaper than the card store and those warm and fuzzy feelings are priceless.

I invite you to send a card today! Then let me know about your experience. ~ Betty
