These are not your average board book however. These have our beautiful laminated cover that all our books have -- the pages are not heavy cardboard (heavy for little hands) but a thicker page for easy turning.
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!

http://www.heritagemakers.com/projectBrowserBWC.cfm?projectID=a847ee2b-6cef-455b-b429-99bfee13c210&productID=16 Here's a link to Lauren's birthday card this year -- just 3 days after she became a mommy herself. I put in some pictures of her as a baby - the same age as her little Ryan. This took me minutes to do and send.
Yes, it's true.
Well, you don't have to do this anymore. I have an wonderful promotion running right now where you can create and send beautiful cards to anyone on your list. Birthdays, anniversaries, thank you's, sympathy -- you name it you can send it!
