Poster Pictures

I did this huge Family Proclamation board for our family for Christmas, and I also did one for my parents (not quite as big, but pretty much the same thing). I did a poster, with the saying "I am a Child of God" for both of our girls and one for my nephew, Colton. I have had a few people ask me the last few months, if I had them made, or if I made them or how I got them. So I thought I would share it on my blog for those interested.

There's a company called Heritage Makers, that I actually joined months ago, but it didn't work out. Yet, I still had a membership to do digital scrap booking with the company around Christmas time. So I made these as gifts. There's all sorts of fun stuff you can either make yourself from scratch or copy another persons design and make it your own. You can make digital scrapbooking pages, books, cards, posters and tons more! That's how I made these posters, through Heritage Makers. If anyone wants to look into it just go to their website, http://www.heritagemakers.com/

Family Proclamation- this one is 24 inches by 18 inches.



You can't see the posters very well in these pictures. They are kind of blurry and don't show their names really well. These posters are 17 inches by 11 inches.

Avery's poster turned out a bit too light. I should have chosen a different picture, but it's still cute.

My nephew Colton's turned out the best I think! I love the different shades of red in it.

A NEW adventure and how it ALL began!

I have been addicted to scrapbooking since the day my best friend Emily introduced me to it back in 8th grade. I have almost everything you can imagine from paper, stamps, accessories, to a fun cricuit machine! I love scrapbooking, taking pictures and journaling, (it's pretty obvious as I blog and take pictures of almost everything and then scrapbook it too!)

I love scrapbooking and recording stories so much in fact, that in the summer of 2006, I tried to use that passion and make my own business doing other people's scrapbooks while making money on the side. So I came up with a business to do just that, where I would met with a customer and look over their family/personal pictures, record their stories about each picture, and get their vision of what they wanted. After gathering as much information as I could, I then would use my creative skills to make them a beautiful scrapbook of all their most treasured memories! I had a layouts, prices, flyers and many other things ready to go! But I just could never get it started with one thing popping up after another...(life is just crazy sometimes!) Yet, that dream was always in the back of my mind hoping one day to emerge! So I am totally EXCITED to say that that DAY is HERE!!!

Last week a friend of mine invited me to a heritage party, I had no idea then, that I would fall COMPLETELY in love that night! (Don't worry, I didn't fall in love with some second cousin or something, I still love Ryan...haha). My friend, Cristi had mentioned Heritage Makers back in August, but I didn't really understand it. I was intrigued but just thought I would keep doing what I was already doing. Even before I was introduced to Heritage Makers, I was feeling something exciting stir within me as I walked in and saw all the beautiful display of family books bound together in all sizes with memories from everything you can imagine! There were books, cards, posters, calendars and scrapbooking pages showing generations of family stories, photos, and memories. I never thought I would enjoy digital scrapbooking as much because I have always been a glue stick, scissors type person, but I am really excited to do more digital scrapbooking, but also deciding to be a consultant. So wish me luck as I start this NEW adventure in my life! (If anyone wants to learn more click the link on the side -Heritage Makers).
