Entries from March 2009
New to Address Book
Do you wish you could import contacts into your Heritage Studio address book from another source? Do you wish you could manage your groups? Now in Address Book you don’t have to cramp up your hands by typing in each contact separately. You can easily import vCard or csv files.
Plus, now you can manage groups. If you have a party coming up, you don’t have to select each individual invitation recipient when submitting your order. Just make a party group before and all you have to do is select the group. Your invitations will be shipped directly to everyone in that group.
I am very excited by this – I’ll finally be able to direct ship all my holiday cards to family and friends – no more writing out addresses and licking stamps and envelopes!
Happy card-sending!

I was next in line to a British lady at the post office this week and heard her talking about how difficult it was to find Mother’s Day cards for her relatives in the UK. Their Mother’s Day is the 3rd Sunday in March, while Mom’s special day here is in May. The card stores don’t have much of a selection yet. I leaned over and told her that next year she can create her own Mother’s Day cards through Heritage Makers – she was thrilled!
With that thought in mind, are you looking for something fun to do this weekend? Why not create greeting cards! In just a couple of hours, you could have your entire year’s worth of birthday, holiday, and “any time” cards all finished. Plus, with Heritage Makers, you can have completely customizable greeting cards.
Gather some friends together, browse the Heritage Makers Template Gallery for some fun templates, swap ideas, and create some beautiful cards! You’ll have a great time bonding with your kids, creating memories with your girlfriends, and getting organized for the rest of the year. Think of how great it will be when grandma’s birthday rolls around and you’ve already got an adorable card created for her. Read more from Heritage Maker’s blog

We have all heard that the sticky back photo albums are actually bad for photos. Well, what happens when you go to take the photos off of those sticky pages and they don’t come off?!
Here’s a tip a friend shared with me…
Scrapper’s Solution
“It works great! According to the package, you can safely remove and reuse stickers, tape, photo squares and more. How about those registration stickers on your car windshield or bumper stickers? I haven’t tried it on stickers but I did use it on my photos. Scrappers Solution is a clear liquid and comes with a plastic tool that you use to slide under the object you want to remove. You put a few drops of the solution on the tool, slide it under one corner of the photo and glide it along until the photo comes free. It was so easy! And it left no residue or smell on the photos. I used it on an entire album of my baby pictures and had them all out in about ½ hour. The pictures have been in that album for more than 35 years so it’s pretty amazing that they came out at all!”
You can find Scrappers Solution at many of the local arts and crafts stores as well as many sites online. It may also be called Un-Do Adhesive Remover and sells for under $10. I recommend having a bottle in your stash of scrapbooking supplies.
Happy heritage making!

Do you love a template or previous project or page but want it in another size of project? Here is a great tip that will save you tons of time!
Open up a blank project in the size that you want to build the project in.
Click on the “My Projects” tab at the bottom of the page.
This will give you access to your Completed and Unfinished projects. Click on the project that has the elements that you want in your new size of project. (If you want to use elements from a template, be sure to select the template first, open it and click “Publish” then close it and go to the “Completed Projects” where you will now find it.)
That selected project will open at the bottom of the page.
Just drag up the elements, photos, art, quotes – everything! – to where you want them in your new size of project!
You do not have to go find them all over again in your digital art, photo albums, quote library, etc.
This feature is also reviewed in the Intermediate Heritage Studio Online Class. This is a great class to see all of the shortcuts and tips in Studio!
