Possibilities are Endless!!!

StoryBook Creator has been a great addition to my business and my family!  I do everything I can in Storybook Creator Software, invites, cards, books, photo panels, Valentines, Christmas cards and on and on...
  Since Ben has been in Novice Hockey I have done a Hockey Storybook for him every year.  In the first few years only a handful of the parents bought the books, but then the word got out and more and more parents would ask me, are you doing the hockey books this year?  Now almost all of the parents buy a copy.  It is such a nice keepsake.

 Here are few examples of pages from this year's book.






I do a page for each child on the team and then one on the coaches.  The parents and team love them.  This year I did a new project for the team, posters.  They were 24" x 18" and we had them laminated.  The kids loved them, but what hockey player wouldn't love to have a poster featuring themselves!!!




Baseball season is fast approaching and I will be on the field snapping photos again!

L.O.V.E.

My favourite subject for my photos is my family!  I have learned so much from Nick Kelsh on manual photography and I feel like I have gotten a lot better at shooting portrait photos of our children.  Lauren took Nick's Going Manual course as well and she took the photo of Todd and I.  Great job Lauren!

I had a blank spot on my dining room wall and I thought this idea would look great here.  


I designed these 4 photo panels in Creative Memories Storybook Creator.  I did the 12 x 12 size but you could just as easily do the 8 x 8 size depending on how much wall space you have to work with in your home.  I ordered these on the wood photo panels because I don't like the results of black and white portraits on the tin photo panels.  






I love where I have these hung because I see them from where I watch tv, where we serve our meals, the kitchen and it is one of the first things I see when I walk into our home.  Also, I have them hung beside one of my other favourite photos that is seven years old.  I love seeing the difference  and similarities in the children in those seven years.





These are easy to create and add so much charm to our home!


Love my CM Personalized iPhone case!

I love my iPhone case! I didn't waste anytime opening it and putting it on my phone the minute it arrived!   I love that you can just do a new insert when you want to change up the photo.  I am already thinking about what my next photo will be!
