October Art

Great news! We've just released the October art! You're going to love what we've got for you this month at MyStoryBookLady.com.

Today you'll find 18 brand new collections! In fact, with the addition of these new collections, there are 712 active art collections and over 47,000 pieces of digital art in Studio! View the art catalog here.

We're extremely excited to introduce you to the new art in October. Take a look at four of our favorites.

A Spooktacular Evening: This collection was purchased specifically with the little "spooks" at your house in mind. You can capture all of your Halloween memories!

Elements of Nature: This lovely collection from the talented Jill Means can be changed to match your color scheme.

Scouts Honor Elements: A bright and cheerful collection to help you document the activities of the boy scouts in your life.

Harvest Moon: "Hoo, Hoo"...if Owls are your thing, this fun collection is a must!

Digital Coasters

It’s the digital scrapper and home crafter's perfect project. And with MyStoryBookLady.com, this project has never been easier. It’s time to get rid of those old, gross-looking coasters and replace them with personalized ones. You can include your living room’s color scheme and even your family photos.

Here’s what you need:

• Blank, wood (or another material if desired) coasters – You can get these from a craft store. For this project I used 3×4 inch coasters with rounded corners from Robert’s Craft online.
• Scrap page (for this project I used a 12×12 scrap page)
• Mod Podge
• Spray sealant
• Wood/craft paint (any color)

Get started:

• 1. Design your coasters in Studio on a scrap page (whatever size works best to fit all your coasters on a page or two).
  2. Paint the bottom and sides of your wooden coasters. You may also paint the top of the coasters if you are planning on not covering the entire surface with your digital-designed coasters.
  3. Once you have your printed scrap page, cut the digital-designed coasters out.
  4. Using Mod Podge, glue each digital-designed, cut-out coaster onto the top surface of your wooden coasters.
  5. Let the Mod Podge dry.
  6. Seal your coasters using a spray-on sealant. (Note: You’ll want to use the sealant in a ventilated area.)
  7. And voila! You now have fun coasters you’ll be proud to display in your living room.

7 Reasons to Digital Storybook/Scrapbook

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.

2.  Did you take the time to handwrite the story of all 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 from.  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 granddaughters.  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?  Ask me or Browse the template gallery at http://mystorybooklady.com
