I am LOVING the new project options that are available with Heritage Makers now! I just recieved my latest order yesterday, and it was just like Christmas opening it all up!!

I had finally finished my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding album – so I decided to use up some of my points and get some stuff for myself.  I had made a canvas print for my mom and dad this past winter for their 40th wedding anniversary, so decided to go ahead and make one for myself.

I ended up making three!  (2 are only the smaller 8X8′s though, so it isn’t like I made 3 huge canvases!)  The one small one is the one I posted a picture of before – “My greatest blessings call me mom…”  I also made one of my Grandma who passed away last month, and it is amazing.

Just before she passed away, she had said those words to me when she was saying her good-byes – and I wanted something that let me hold onto that special moment with a very special lady.

As I was scrolling through the template gallery, I saw another canvas template I just had to do for myself.  (I get so many ideas just from going through the template gallery that there is no way I could ever hope to do all the projects I want to do!)

This one is straight from a template – it took me about 5 minutes to finish it.  All I did was put my own pictures in on top of what was there:

I did a couple other projects as well, along with the canvases and my brother’s wedding book.  I did a poster for my daughter’s teacher who is retiring this year.  I won’t post it here yet since I haven’t actually given it to her yet – but it turned out great too.  We will have it framed, and along with a card I made up for her, we will give it to her on the last day of school.

My 13 year old niece had also been working on a book of her own over the past year or so, and she had finished it as well.  It is a great little book that I know she will look back on someday and not help but smile.  She had all the pictures of everything that is important to her right now, along with the stories of important events and moments in her life to this point.

I love getting these projects delivered to me – it is just so exciting to see the finished product!  It also gets me wanting to make more – and thanks to the template gallery, I have so many ideas I need to get working on!
