Mother's Day Ideas

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and Heritage Makers has a variety of templates that would be sure to tell your mother just how much you love her. Have you ever considered making a storybook about HER life? Does it seem too overwhelming? Well, with a Heritage Maker Template, all you have to do is plug in her photos, and use the story prompts to help you remember or find out important details from your mother's life and put them in the book.

Not only will your mom feel of your love for her, but YOU will now have the story of the woman who has influenced you most in your life. What a treasure to share with your children as they learn and grow. Knowing the stories of those who came before them helps them to know who they are.

Here is an example of just one of the many templates available for such a story:
If you're in the mood to browse through templates, here are a few more:

Because You're my Mother - 8x8 book
Hats off to you, Aunt Alice - 12 x 12 book
, could easily be edited to mothers story
Or what about a simple book, just telling Mom why you love her?
60 reasons why we love you - 7x5 book


Don't forget about our direct ship card service too! Make your card online, and have it directly mailed to mom in time for the big day!

Before I was your Mother

Kids love to hear stories about their parents when they were kids. It is funny how a child doesn't even fathom the fact that YOU passed Algebra too! And that you had chores, and played sports and even wrote award winning essays, and read books you didn't particularly like.
Why are they interested in these things? Because it helps them to understand who THEY are and where they came from. It gives them a sense of belonging, and helps them relate to us. It makes us more real to them, and brings us closer.There is a beautiful template in the Gallery to this tune, called "Before I was Your Mother" It is a great way to tell your kids the story of YOU!It is a beautifully designed book that is simple to edit and replace with your OWN story. Just pop your own pictures in at the time you were a baby, toddler, child, etc. and even change some topics to fit your own experience. Use the existing text as a story guide to tell your own story with and Viola! You have written your life for you children.


Simple to create, this project is a template in the Template Gallery at http://www.simplestorybooks.com/. You can do this, and I would be glad to help.

There is also a more masculine version of the template for men, entitled "Before I Was Your Dad" Just search for "cornerstone" or "mom" or "dad" in the template gallery for other options in this area. Have fun! And remember a template is totally manipulative, so you can change or add to it in any way that suits your needs. Most of all, HAVE FUN!

Benefits of a Premier Membership - Schedule a Premier Demo today!

I want to share with you some great information on the Benefits of Premier Membership, put together by my friend and teammate, Debbie Rasmussen:
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Dear Friends-

To learn more about the differences between basic and premier accounts, I suggest the following:




1. Play the above movie, to see a short video that explains the premier membership.

2. CLICK HERE to browse through some of the 45,000+ pieces of artwork in the premier collection. The click the "Hide Premier" button on the upper left to see only the collections available in your basic account.

3. Go to www.SimpleStorybooks.com and then click on "template Gallery" in the top right corner to look through the template gallery and compare basic and premier templates and see which you like better! On the top right, you can sort your search by membership, allowing you to view only basic templates or only premier templates. Then, search by type of book, keyword, or even the popularity of the template. Keep in mind that there are new templates being added to the gallery almost every day!

I am a firm believer that you can make beautiful books with just the basic membership, but for me, premier is what makes it fun. It is what makes me excited to login and steal a few minutes to work on my projects before the kids get up. It's my happy little creative corner in the universe. It helps me NOT miss my scrapbook stuff--not even a little bit. Well, OK, I have a confession to make. Sometimes I walk into a scrapbook store just for old time's sake. I look at the papers and chuckle to myself. Then, I go home and use whatever I want in my premier account.

Now that we are getting personal, I'll tell you one more thing. When I first saw Heritage Makers, I knew that the premier membership was the ONLY thing that could get me to dump my scrapbook luggage (which was extensive because I was in the scrapbook retreat business and had owned a mini-store at one time). Things were tight and I wasn't sure my husband would go for $19.95 a month being squeezed into the budget. I confidently told him that I was willing to do just about anything, go back to eating white bread if we had to, to make the premier membership work with our budget. He looked at me and thought for a moment, and then this wise, handsome husband of mine said, "OK. If it's going to make you that happy, then do it."

I am proud to say that I enjoy my premier membership AND wheat bread to this day. : ) "
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So if a testimonial like that doesn't make you want Premier, I'm afraid nothing will! I feel just as strongly as Debbie about having Premier, and I even have a separate account for my kids to enjoy as well. My son recently finished making a board game for a school project on his account, scroll a few posts back if you'd like to see it. AND THEN, CALL ME to schedule your OWN Premier Demo in your home. Jut you, me and two. (Friends that is.)

I would really like to take a minute and show you how this works. I know you will love it! I could come by and do a 45 min Demo for you and two friends whenever it is convenient for you.

This is NOT a home party, just a website DEMO.


When you and your two friends decide to get started, and purchase our premier subscription, YOU will receive a free photo bracelet AND $50 in free publishing credit. (If you schedule in March)

No need to clean your house, or provide refreshments. This is just a short meeting. I bring my laptop and we can sit at the kitchen table or wherever you prefer, and I will show you how this works. No purchase is required, but I’m sure you will love what you see.


Happy Storybooking! Sincerely, your personal publishing Consultant, Shelley Ruiz

Your kids, and their big ideas!

Did you know that Heritage Makers can make your life simpler as a mom? Have your kids create school projects, posters, books, and even games using the Heritage Makers Studio.

Here is a great game my son created for his school class, based on the book "The Good Dog" by Avi.

He needed virtually no help doing this, as most kids are a whiz on the computer anyway, and he simply picked a game template from the template Gallery and edited to fit what he needed. The teacher was thrilled, and he actually planned ahead well enough, that he had his project done and back in his hand in time for the due date. (about 5 days turnaround).
Here are the game peices, which he did on a postcard, then cut out, and glued back to back. Then he folded the bottom (colored parts) out and the dogs can stand on their own. Cool eh?
I have several young people who use the system and have created some great things. If you are one of them, and would like to share your project on my blog, please email me at: simplestorybooks@gmail.com. Happy Storybooking!
