It’s the largest and fanciest book Heritage Makers has – it’s 13×11, leather inside cover with a dust jacket.  I had a hard time deciding what to use it for but finally decided on using my wildlife photography.  One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of nature and wildlife so I figured – why not display a few of my favorites in this big beautiful book!? ;)

Here is a preview – keep in mind it is low resolution so you won’t be able to read the little quotes – but it gives you a good idea what it will look like :)

If you want to make your own – just email me heidi@myfamilykeepsakes.com and I’ll hook you up! :)

To be ready for that I’ve been going through my sample books and creating projects featuring my own fur babies.  Below is a book from our Template Gallery called ‘Jessie Girl’ and I thought it was great so I’m sharing it with you today! Enjoy :)

My family and I visit our local zoo often and I always have my camera (no surprise there! lol), so when I saw a Zoo Book template in the Template Gallery I grabbed it and started in on it right away.  This preview below is the final product….let me know if you love it as much as my family does. Maybe start one yourself today!
