Photoshop, Scrapbook Factory, Paste It! If you can save it as a jpeg, you can
put it in our books!

Once you have submitted the template for printing, it takes 10-14 business days
to arrive on your doorstep.
How do I (or
others) get copies of my projects?
Currently, you may republish any project you complete for whomever wants a copy.
You may also have them log into your account and order it directly from my
website. You won't have to gather money, order for them, or ship the book to
them: We will do all that for you!
What if there are
mistakes in my final book?
Heritage Makers will reprint without change any book with their error (binding,
etc). Any mistakes or changes by the author will be reprinted at ½ price.
How do I get started?
- Make sure your first order is through a Heritage Makers
Consultant. That's me!
- Decide on the book style you want.
- Purchase your book credits.
- You will then receive an account # and you will activate your
account from my website. (I have the instructions on how to do this that I
will give you upon ordering.)
- Take the tutorials on the website. You may call me with ANY
questions that you have. We are in this TOGETHER and I will make sure you
are happy with all your projects.
- Start creating your Heritage library!
