Digital Storybooking Templates from Kristen: Father's Day Gift

About Storybooking

I was a scrapbooker for years. I loved to take pictures and wanted to display them somehow, so I could look at them and REMEMBER! But after having my first son, I started to realize that keeping up with scrapbooking was going to be a challenge. Taking out all the paper, scissors, stickers, etc took time. Then once I got all settled and started to work on a project my little one wanted to join in on the fun. And I couldn't leave it all out...what a mess it made. Then once I had a page done, sometimes I didn't like it, and what could I do, the pictures were all cut up and everything was glued on. sigh.

Well one day I discovered the answer to my frustration. Heritage Makers!!! It is an online storybooking company. After researching it and comparing it with others I knew I had found the BEST way to capture my family's stories. I was so excited and grateful for my find, and knew others were looking for the same thing, so I decided to become an independent consultant for the company....AND I LOVE IT! It is so rewarding to help other people document their stories in their own beautiful books and I love making my own.

Father's Day Gift

Father's Day is around the corner! I have the perfect gift! A small brag book, for daddy's desk, briefcase or backpack! The book is a 5x5, bound, hardback and is only $20 plus shipping and handling (it must be purchased through me to get that price! regularly $34). It's very simple to make! Go to http://www.readmemystory.com/ and create your own FREE account. If you like the template I created (below), just let me know and I can transfer one right into your account, for FREE! All you would have to do is upload the pictures you want to include and then pop them onto the page. You can change or add anything to the template (customize it with your kids names and quotes from them about their dad and a sweet letter of appreciation from you!). You need to have it done by May 30th to guarentee it gets to your door by Father's day. Now your hubby can show off his beautiful family!

Now if you love the idea, but think you aren't computer savy enough (though it's REALLY simple and I could totally walk you through it) or don't have the time, I'd be happy to do it for you. For $40 I will provide the book, pay for the shipping and handling, and put the entire book together. All you would need to do is email me the pictures you want in it (about 20 pics), the names of your kids and a little note of appreciation for your hubby.

I have another father's day template if you scroll down my blog. It is made for a slightly bigger book (8x8) and costs $35 plus shipping and handling.

I'd be happy to help in anyway I can! kristen.story@hotmail.com
