Tips & Tricks with Studio 2.0

TIPS 'N TRICKS
WHAT'S LURKING IN THE DARK?

SHADOWS, OF COURSE.
1. Shady dealings: When adding elements like photos or embellishments to a page, don't neglect the drop shadow tool. Even adding a 1 pt. shadow will give an object some depth. Adding drop shadows keeps your page from looking flat. It also gives the faintest outline to embellishments that might otherwise get lost in the pattern of your paper.

2. Stand out performance: set your photos apart from the rest of the design on your page by adding borders. Using the border tool, you can effectively mat your pictures on the page. Or, make a double mat by using the basic shape square to create your first mat, and the border tool to create your second. Adding a border to your pictures gives your entire page a clean look. It allows the eye to quickly take in and appreciate all that is going on in your layout.

Tips & Tricks with Studio 2.0

TIPS 'N TRICKS

CREATING PHOTO EFFECTS AND EDGES

Paper scrapbookers often give their photos a distressed or worn look (sometimes called "antiquing") by sanding and/or staining their photos. You can create that same look in Heritage Studio Drag & Drop system by using overlays (transparencies).

The Peppermint Kisses transparency gives a sanded or brushed effect on the outer portions of the picture. The transparency's original color is pink, but you can use the Fill Color feature to make it any color you'd like.

The Whatever Grunge overlay gives the entire photo a brushed, worn look. The overlay's texture is in gray and tan which does darken your picture. But, again, you can choose a lighter color from the Fill Color palette which lighten the entire photo.

The Ochre Winfrey Inked Edges transparency gives the edges of your photo a burned or antique look.

Cherokee's Story

Cherokee's Story

Heritage Makers' consultant Carrie Scanlan and her client Debbie recently completed a very special project for Debbie's daughter Cherokee.
Debbie: I put together my first Heritage Makers book for our daughter Cherokee, for her 10th birthday. I thought it would be special since she would be hitting double digits! I had no idea how much this book would mean to us when I sent it in to be published.
Carrie: I scanned about 200 pictures and laid everything out for Debbie. Then we sat down together at my home computer and spent almost three hours deciding on the journaling.
The book is written to Cherokee from her parents about the first ten years of her life. It documents all her birthdays, her family, school life, athletic career, and what a wonderful young lady she is becoming. We cried a lot. And cried even more when we found out about Cherokee's condition.
Debbie: The day before her 10th birthday, Cherokee was admitted to the hospital where she was diagnosed with an AVM (arterio-venous malformation) on the left side of her brain. The next day, her actual birthday, we were able to take Cherokee home to celebrate, and the book arrived that very afternoon! My husband and I sat going over and over the pages, talking about every photograph and the memories each one holds. We cried, both of us grateful to have the book to remind of us of the extraordinary memories, the 10 years we've been so blessed to share with our daughter, and we know we'll never again take for granted a single day in our little girl's life.
The book of our daughter's first 10 years has traveled across country with us to be shown to family and friends, and when Cherokee undergoes brain surgery on March 24th, the book will be with us to hold on to during her surgery. We're so happy we made it when we did, we love it and we look forward to making her next one!
Carrie: This story has inspired me to help others tell their untold stories.

A LIFE-PRESERVER FOR GENERATIONS TO COME

My mother-in-law has been battling cancer for 12 years. Right after the TAC cruise, she told us her doctor had informed her that she wouldn’t be with us much longer. My brother-in-law got an emergency leave from Iraq to come spend some time with her, and she was placed on hospice care in her home.

I knew that it was time to stop procrastinating writing her life story. I put my entire life on hold for a month while I worked non-stop on the book. I spoke to my upline leaders Sharon Murdoch and Candy May and apologized for not doing anything with my business. But Candy told me that I was doing exactly what this business is all about – preserving a story.
The most precious part of the experience was the time I spent with my mother-in-law while writing the book. We already had the basis of her life story which she typed up years before, but we wanted more. The first time we met with her to ask questions my niece and my daughter used the life story planner to interview their grandma. What a special experience for them! At one point during this process, my mother-in-law sent me an email telling me how grateful she was that I was doing this, and that I made her feel so loved and special.

Once, when I was talking with her, she told me about an experience that she really felt needed to be in the book. She said she felt strongly that there would be a time in the future when that experience would help someone in her family when they were struggling.
I asked everyone in the family to write a letter to her to be included in the book. It was quite a struggle for many of them to write a "goodbye" letter. However, it has added such an amazing element to the book. The book was not a surprise to her, but the letters will be.
I sent the book off to publishing last week and just got it back the other day. It is so much more than I ever imagined. Obviously I knew what it looked like, but seeing it in print was so amazing. I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to make it. I am especially grateful for doing it while she is still alive. I’ve shown family members previews of the book, and my sister-in-law told me that she went through an entire box of tissues.

I also made an abbreviated little "Grandma book" for the grandkids. My favorite part about it is the letter she wrote to the grandkids. Years from now, long after she is gone, they will be able to see her pictures and read her words to them. I hope they will be able to draw comfort and get advice for whatever they are dealing with at that time.
I cannot say enough how grateful I am for this company and the opportunity it gave our family to preserve a special life for generations to come.

Tips & Tricks with Studio 2.0

TIPS 'N TRICKS

MAKE IT A GROUP EFFORT

You can group photos or art embellishments on your page together by holding down the Shift key on your keyboard as you click on each item. Then you can move all of the elements together or re-size them all at the same time. Click off of the group of objects to release.

GOING ROUND IN CIRCLES

You're probably familiar with the "Round Corners" option on your tool box. But did you know that you can "cut" your pictures into ovals and circles? Moving the "Round Corners" slider all the way to 100 won't give you a complete oval or circle, but if you type in 1000 in the number box next to the slider, it will transform your rectangular images into ovals and your square images into circles. (Note: to achieve a circle, if your images is a rectangle, you'll need to crop it to a square first.)
