UPDATE 2021: All items shown were made with Heritage Makers. However, Heritage Makers is currently being updated to a new software platform that doesn't require Adobe Flash to run (which Adobe discontinued at the end of 2020). For the time being, it's probably easier for you to order these items from me--meaning I make them for you--than it will be for you to make them in your own Heritage Makers account. Just contact me. Or try this amazing high-quality option for printing personalized photo gifts and services.
These are so popular right now, and I LOVE the quality of the Heritage Makers canvases. They are GORGEOUS. There's no other word for it. These come together SO fast! A few background papers and embellishments, a quote or title, and you're done. Or use a template like these and you're done even faster!
IDEA #2: Playing cards!
These are so much fun! There are TONS of ideas (and tons of templates) for playing cards, such as Family Go Fish (matching), Family Rook, Get-to-Know-the-Family (fact cards), and MUCH more!
I just made these as a gift for my sister's family. They are dinner conversation starters.
IDEA #3: Tiles!
A craft project made from Heritage Makers individual scrapbook pages! Tiles are so popular right now, too.
Both of these are ones I made (though some are copied from templates or ideas "stolen" from others!), so I can transfer these to you to use, too. The first is one 12x12 page divided into four 6x6 sections. I cut it up and put each one on a 6.5x6.5 tile. EASY and FAST! (And a cheap but cool gift!)
These are full 12x12 scrapbook pages, which I've seen on 13x13 tiles, but you could also just frame these in 12x12 frames like I did.
IDEA #4: Calendars!
These are SO CUTE! There are a LOT available in the template gallery so that you don't have to spend any time designing. Find one you like, put your own pictures and special dates in it (birthdays, anniversaries), and that's it!
IDEA #5: Gift certificates!
Good, old-fashioned gift certificates!! Know somebody who takes a lot of pictures? wants to write a personal history? Chances are good they would love Heritage Makers! A gift certificate gives them an account with some publishing points already in it so they're ready to publish anything they like.
