Improved Photo Management
The first thing that me dang excited was the announcement about the latest enhancement to our online Heritage Studio...improved photo management! Now this may not seem like truly amazing news but it's a HUGE help for those who have many, many gigabytes worth of photos stored in albums on my HM account. (Gotta love unlimited storage for Premier accounts!)
What's new with PHOTO MANAGEMENT includes 3 big things:
1) Shows filenames now...if you don't rename your JPGs, this won't matter to you but if you've already classified those baby pics as 6 months, 8 months, etc., you'll be thrilled! Plus, you can click to name them right in the Editor window so if you know which pic has eyes open, you can name it "best" or something and it'll show that way for quicker, easier reference later. Plus, all filenames are shown in alphabetical order so it's a snap to find the shots you want, even in a big photo album.
2) Foldering...create sub-folders for Family, Friends, Holidays and such to better classify your albums & pics into additional groups or categories. Drag in specific images to make a whole folder of a certain event or person to make it easy to find them fast when you want.
3) Sharing albums...now you can email anyone (even people without HM accounts) your uploaded photo albums so they can see your latest pics. Put in their address and a personal note. It will go to them and let them view them easily. If they want to create an account of their own, they can but it's not required to view your pics.
PUBLISHING PERKSTwo new upgrades have been added as well. These special options are FREE for all Premier members and just $2.95 (total) for Basic members. Your choice at the time of checkout. Neat!
1) MATTE FINISH COVERS: If you don't like the high gloss look of our laminated hardcovers, now you can choose a flatter matte look instead. It can still be wiped off too!
2) BLACK END PAGES: This adds a classy flair to the front & back of your books if you prefer it over the standard white end pages. The vellum front sheet will stay!
ENJOY THE NEW WHITE WORKSPACE
This one may not be as obvious for an improvement, but the white work area around your pages will show up your text boxes and elements much better so they won't get lost when you drag them off to the edges for use later.
DESIGN DOUBLE-PAGE SPREAD LAYOUTS IN STUDIOThis is another huge enhancement that will make many designers very happy. Currently we can only view and design one side of a page at a time in the Editor, which makes it a bit challenging to be creative with full spreads and elements that cross the gutter. But with 2 of our newest just-released products, this design option will be offered. The developers are working to roll it out for all our storybooks in Studio soon!

50th Wedding Anniversary for my parents
June 20th we had a wonderful 50th anniversary celebration for my parents in SLC, Utah. It was so fun to have Heritage Makers at my finger tips to create some AMAZING things to display atthe party.
This is the table "conversation cards" we used to get the guest talking during dinner. These are made from the deck of Playing Cards. The backs were all the same picture of my parents wedding day. The insides were questions for the guests to talk about. Everything from favorite foods to favorite vacation spots to favorite actors -- here is the sample. The guests LOVED THIS and many of them took the cards home!
I also made 20 different 8.5x11 pages that were on display that had the happenings of 1959, the year they were married. Everything from the Economy and Technology to the Academy Awards. Another hit with the guests. And of course, a Beautiful 16x20 Canvas of the
And of course, A new wedding album with all their photos that I had scanned in. I used a template and just dragged and dropped my photos in, deleted pages I didn't want, changed some text and Voila' it was done! http://www.heritagemakers.com/projectBrowserStandAlone.cfm?projectId=977392&productId=9&projectSponsor=457785 just click this link to view it!
Then we sent each guest off with a Thank You and special message from Mom and Dad-- this is cut from a 12x12 - 4 to a page so the dimensions are roughtly 6x6.

CLUB PREMIER.....for a year!
This is the most wonderful special I have seen Heritage Makers run yet. A whole year of Premier for $99. Usually it is $19.95 a month, but buy a year membership and it's roughly $9 a month. Premier is the ultimate for digital storybooking as you have over 35,000 elements to use - over and over again! And every month they add more packages!
It's like having a membership to the scrapbook store for a monthly fee. You can go in and use everything they have, only to have the shelves instantly restocked for you! Or you can go in and take one sticker. The sky is the limit baby!
If you've been pondering this phenomenon I speak of often -- Storybooking -- this is the time to jump on board. You'll wonder why it took so long for you to join me.
