ABC Albums – digi scrap style…

char — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 14:00:36 +0000

Do you need to make an ABC album for anyone? Well, have I found the deal for you!

Casey Krause is retiring from designing for a bit while she goes back to school, and her entire shop is on sale for MAJOR price reductions (like lots of stuff for a buck!)

Anyway, I was browsing, and what do I see? An ENTIRE ABC album on sale for ONE DOLLAR. Check it out:

Cool, eh? Well, that’s not all! She ALSO has a 4×6 size ABC album on sale for.. you guessed it.. ONE DOLLAR. Here’s the preview for THAT album:

Oh, but I am NOT done. She has this same 4×6 size brag book…. in two more colors/styles!! (It’s a Live, Laugh, Love collection)

I recommend you click on over to her shop this weekend and check it all out. If you are like me, you’ll be VERY tempted to purchase her entire shop for $20! (Yes, everything in her shop, for $20). She has all the above mentioned albums AND several more, AND several fun kits. I think it’s a pretty good steal of a deal!

Happy Friday, everyone!

The items that might be of MOST interest to folks around here are the individual prints and the cards credits! You can get TWENTY 12×12 individual page credits for only 44.85… or TWENTY 8×8 individual page credits for only 26.85. Those are great deals for printing your digi-scrap pages!

And are you planning to design and send digital Christmas cards this year? Well, I would definitely check out the pricing for the 5×7 card credits. FORTY folded cards for $74.85… or FORTY post cards for only $44.85. These are top quality in every way, and I know you won’t be disappointed!

And (can I say and again?), if you plan to print any photobooks this year, especially as Christmas gifts, the deals above are really, really good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Heritage Makers PREMIER studio account is also on sale this month – 3 months for only $29.95. What do you get when you sign up for a PREMIER account. Oh, so much…

Unlimited photo storage
Unlimited project creation and storage
Heirloom Assurance
Premier Art Library with over 30,000 pieces
New art monthly
FREE Premier Template Gallery with hundreds of beautiful templates
Ability to upload your own artwork
Free online master classes

I highlighted the Art Library info above because I wanted to make mention of what exactly 30,000 pieces of art looks like.

I can’t think of a good analogy, except to say that I probably have something close to that on my 700 gig hard-drive… all items I have purchased kit by kit for hundreds of dollars over the course of the last four years.

Well, if the thought of building up a library of items is intimidating, OR if you don’t have a gigantic hard-drive like I do, I encourage you to check out the Art Library and see what you can use for FREE with your PREMIER account (ok, it’s not free – it’s $29.95 for three months, with a renewal fee of $19.95 each month after that)…but it’s LIKE being free, because you get so much more for your monthly fee, that the artwork SEEMS free.

And if all that isn’t enough, you should really click on over to the Art Library and just scroll down for a few minutes to see what all you get for your money. HERE IS THE LINK.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you made it to the end of this post, I applaud you. And I’d also like to remind you that all the specials listed above can only be purchased through me or another HM consultant. That means you need to email me to get started, and I’ll get you going! If you have any questions, I’ll be glad to answer them!

Happy Wednesday folks…

Gratituesday… July 7

char — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:00:22 +0000

I have a lot swirling around in my head this week… little insignificant things, a few heavier things… mostly just things I need to pray about and then let go.

My Gratituesday post today is simple.

I’m thankful for Gratituesday.

Because of it, I have a specific reason to think about what I’m thankful for.

And I need that… don’t you?

Without it, I might have skipped thinking about my blessings today. And that’s the last thing I need to do.

So… I’m thankful for Gratituesday.

What about you?

Gratituesday – the music version

char — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 03:30:45 +0000

It’s Gratituesday time…and I wanna talk about my love of music, and how it saves me. Gets me through. Keeps me sane and occasionally brings me back away from the ledge. (And I know that’s very overly-dramatic sounding, but if you are a Mama of toddlers…or just a Mama… you can probably relate a LITTLE to the concept of “the ledge”).

(By the way, have I written a Gratituesday post about music before… if I have, just nod a grin through another one).

So, I have an awesome hubby (I know I’ve mentioned THAT before), and a year or so ago (maybe a little longer), he installed an under-cabinet CD player/Radio in my kitchen so I could listen to music whenever I was in there. You know, cooking… cleaning… doing dishes. The kinds of things he hopes I’ll do EVERY day.

ANYWAY, he is lovely, and because of that I have a lovely CD player right next to my head when I’m washing dishes.

Of course, the CD player is really NO good at all without a CD in it… and I have a few favorites I keep handy to keep me PUMPED UP during dish washing/floor mopping/counter wiping time.

I am a bit boring in my music selections in that I get “stuck” on a CD or two and rotate ONLY those two CD’s for… oh, six months at a time!

(And my family still loves me!)

Anyway, my two latest obsessions favorites have been the following CD’s:

Travis Cottrell’s Jesus Saves

and Point of Grace’s How You Live

I’ve been listening to the Point of Grace CD since Christmas time, so going on 7 months now. Travis’ CD is brand new, so I’ve only been wearing it out for about a month.

These two CD’s speak to me right where I need to be spoken… they help me worship… they remind me what it’s all about… they make me cry and smile at the same time.

(Just as a side-note, there is an incredibly awesome little snippet of Beth Moore speaking on Travis’ CD, and then she joins him in reading scripture during the song right after her little snippet. I have listened to this countless times, and I cry EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I hear it. Let’s just say I need to hear it every day, twice a day).

Anyway… thankfully, for the sanity of everyone in my family, my kids like listening to these CDs too. This is a big bonus since I subject them to the music on a very, very regular basis.

In fact, I think Point of Grace is going to be responsible for my children turning into “Holy Rollers” (no offense meant, btw, if you are a holy roller). Both lil Allan and Martha like to sing with their hands in the air, WHILE dancing around the kitchen. (And if you know anything about our little branch of “Christian-dom”, you’d know that waving hands and dancing is just is NOT done at a Church of Christ worship service). (Well, not at one here in Las Vegas, anyway). (Surprisingly enough).

Ok, way off on a tangent there. Bringing it all back now…

Short version – I love music, specifically worship music – uplifting encouraging music that you can sing and dance worship along with.

In fact, I think I’ll go turn a CD on right now! It is sure to put a little “latitude in my attitude, and bring me a bit of gratitude”.

(Ok, done being cheesy now)

What are YOU thankful for today? Please join us over at Laura’s Heavenly Homemakers blog for Gratituesday!

Anyway, here are a few fun links to check out this week:
