Spring Cleaning??

Spring cleaning with HM

March has almost come and gone and spring is (hopefully) on its way. Usually, when we think of spring, we think of flowers, fresh air, gardening, barbeque… maybe even spring cleaning.

Of course, we don’t like that last thought. Spring cleaning means work. However, there is one part of your spring cleaning that can be fun: cleaning out those stories. We know you’ve got them hidden somewhere. Maybe it’s that long forgotten childhood story. Maybe it’s your love story. Or perhaps your vacation story. Whatever your story is, one thing is for certain; Heritage Makers can help you with this kind of spring cleaning. Here’s how to start:

Write it: You can start writing in Studio editor or from a word document. At this point, don’t worry about how it looks on the page. Just get the story out there.
Add pictures: Choose your pictures and decide how they will fit with your story. Then easily upload the images to Studio.

Layout: If you started your story inside Studio editor, you may want to decide if you are using a template or starting from a blank project before starting your story. At this point, you will want to make sure to spread your photos and words throughout your book. Basically, decide where everything will fit.

Design: Add embellishments and backgrounds to your story. Give your photos frames or borders. Maybe add a little drop shadow to make your images pop. Just have fun designing your book for you.

Review: After you have all your words, photos, and embellishments where you want them, go through each page to make sure spelling is correct, everything fits on the page (keep a 1/8 inch margin on the outside of each page), and each page includes all the special little touches you want.

Publish: All it takes is a click of your mouse.

Really, in just a few steps your story spring cleaning will be finished. Then, all you have
to do is sit back, relax, and wait for your story
to come.
