Are you excited about the especially large number of new art collections released at Reunion, our annual consultant conference? We are too! This wide range of art and super-sized offering adds significant value to Heritage Makers digital library! These collections will remain “featured” until the end of September, with our next art added at the beginning of October. Let’s take a look!
     
Record the evenings your family spends playing together with Peppermint Creative’s “Game Night” collection. Full of game and puzzle pieces, dominoes, dice, and word art; use this collection to document the relationship-building time you spend with your family.
 
Also from Peppermint Creative, “Congrats Grad” is a rich and timeless collection with graduation gear in many colors and word art that spans 2009 to 2015.

  
“Rule the School” is a bright and cheerful back-to-school collection by Sweet Shoppe Designs that was just released as BASIC art! Now anyone can record school memories with just a Basic account!
 
Premier art, “It’s FANGtastic,” is the centerpiece of a series of fall fun collections by Pickleberrypop. Ghoulish ghosts, bats and pumpkins loom large in this collection designed especially for Halloween haunting.

  
Accompanying “It’s FANGtastic” are “It’s FANGtastic the Extras” and “It’s FANGtastic Scatters.”
Each collection was color and theme matched to add extra ease to designing with the “It’s FANGtastic” art.

  
Everyone needs to design for a baby or two in their circle of loved ones, so “Pinkie Pie” and “Bluechie Coo” are two collections from Peppermint Creative that will be a welcome addition to our art offering. Color palettes are coordinated, so the embellishments can be used interchangeably

  
Possibly the largest collection we’ve ever released, “Little Steam Engine” from Sweet Shoppe Designs contains three complete Thomas-the-Tank-Engine style alphabets along with trains and railway gear of every kind. Use it to preserve Day-Out-with-Thomas memories or to make train-themed party pieces for your little engineer.
 
If it’s all pretty ponies at your house, check out our “Happy Gallop Birthday” collection, also from Sweet Shoppe Designs. Any horse or pony lover will be delighted if you use this collection to help them celebrate.

  
And for grownup milestone birthdays, we’ve add the “Older than Dirt” collection from Pickleberrypop. When life happens way too fast, use this collection to have a little fun with it.
 
One of the advantages of being a Club HM member is that sometimes we offer art that cannot be purchased at any price. Custom made for Heritage Makers, “A Gnome’s Life” by Anna Gehmlich Bates is just such a collection. Full of woodland creatures like foxes, owls, and hedgehogs; you’ll find a million uses for this bright and cheerful collection.
 
  
Also exclusive to Heritage Makers is this holiday duo from Cynthia Coulon. “Holiday Party Pack Embellishments” and “Holiday Party Pack Papers” were specifically designed to bring the contemporary to Christmas. Full of modern colors and styling, many of the papers can also do double duty on your other updated designs.

  
Two new collections from Pickleberrypop’s Lindsay Jane were especially purchased to coordinate with existing Studio border art. “Christmas Day Scatterz” and “Christmas Day Clustered Frames” are perfect for pages or greeting cards, so check these collections out today.

  
       
Another collection set purchased to coordinate with existing art is the “Snow Princess” series from Pickleberrypop. Layered frames, papers, scatterz, and a mini add-on collection all coordinate with our popular layered “Snow Princess Borders” for the ultimate in frosty pages and projects.

  

  
“Gingerbread Frames” is another holiday collection that blends well with existing art. “Santa’s Bake Shoppe” and “Happy Hanukkah” are two collections that contain gingerbread alphas, gingerbread men and women, or other gingerbread art. “Gingerbread Frames” extends the usefulness of these collections for perfect holiday pages.


“Toy Box Borders” is another set of layered borders already designed for you. Add “Toy Box Pattern Papers” and Toy Box Scatterz” (shown below) and you have the perfect pieces to use on your next toddler or baby book.

  
Looking forward to Valentine’s Day already? Pickleberrypop’s “Happy in Love” collection will fill the Template Gallery with loads of fun projects to make your next Valentine’s Day project a winner. Shown here with separate paper and element previews, so you can see the offering more clearly; the art you’ll see in Studio is just one collection.

Club HM art access is such a bargain. Where else could you go for an additional 2 GB of art in a single month? Who else but Heritage Makers provides off-site storage and backup of both your art and the projects you create with it? Who else but Heritage Makers tags your art to make it searchable and has designers from across the country making beautiful templates with your art, just for you? Art is just one of the benefits you enjoy with your Club HM membership, but it is an extensive and significant one!
