If you read the post before this one, then you know about the special gifts we gave to my daughter’s grandparents this year for Christmas. If you didn’t read it yet – take a peek (click here). The reaction to these personalized storybooks was incredibly moving… in fact I had a hard time holding the camera still. But if you’ve ever doubted that Heritage Makers projects were the best gift to give…this might just make you a believer

This year I decided to make 8×8 hardcover storybooks for my in-laws.  I designed heritage makers books for each of them and themed them ‘reasons I love you’ .  My daughter enjoyed recalling the memories of the things they had done together and the moments that were extra special for her.  I couldn’t share the preview before in case they saw it and it ruined the surprise…but now Christmas gift giving is complete and here they are!

These storybooks brought them to tears (of happiness)…it was the best Christmas Present ever.

While we began our company by pioneering the concept of “storybooking”, we realize that because our Studio is online and our products are digitally designed, we are also part of the growing “digital scrapbooking” movement.

As more people move away from the traditional “scissors and stickers” scrapbooks, – digital design and publishing is enjoying significant growth.

First of all, the photos we take today are already digital. No need to pay a developer to print out a pile of pictures anymore. Secondly, almost everyone has access to a computer that can get on the internet for instant availability to digital artwork and design inspiration. Third, we live in an increasingly time-strapped society where the ability to get something finished faster is definitely a draw. Digital scrapbooking seems to offer a speed advantage over traditional. (not to mention that its less expensive than traditional on the whole).

Digital scrapbooking and storybooking with Heritage Makers offers those advantages — simplicity, speed, security, and ease of use.

That’s why we want to honor National Digital Scrapbook Day on Saturday, November 5, 2011.

Whether you are already addicted to digital scrapbooking, considering the switch from traditional paper to digital or thinking of trying the easiest digital option on the market, I can help you decide if Studio is right for you.

We thought it might be helpful to compare Heritage Makers Online Studio publishing system with traditional paper scrapbooking and with general digital scrapbooking. We hope you’ll discover the significant advantages of Studio and begin to preserve your memories with ease.

It’s wonderful to be a Heritage Maker at any time of the year, but the holiday season offers so many opportunities to really show how much we cherish our friends and family.
