Excited for your October art collections to be here? We are, too! Our huge, mid-August Reunion art release is always featured for a full six weeks, but as October begins, we’re more than ready to get going on our monthly art again. We’re sure you’ll agree that October’s new collections are worth that six weeks’ wait!
Our first two collections are from in-house designer Anna G. Bates. “Home Sweet Home” is a state by state collection for the US, with a province by province offering for Canada. Each state, territory, and province is offered as a map graphic, a word art graphic, and is featured on a larger map of the entire country. Look to this collection for travel or home-town topics, for both the US and Canada. Anna also created “You’re a Gem” especially for you this month. Filled with gems, jewels, and crowns, the collection offers wonderful elements for expressing appreciation or wishing the ‘queen of the hop’ or ‘king of the hill’ a happy birthday!
Two new collections from Digital Crea of France are also part of this month’s art offering. With a purple, grey, and green "you-are-so-beautiful-to-me" theme, “Beauty” is a collection that brings just the right touches to brag books or projects celebrating family and fun. “A Good Taste” offers cooking utensils and kitchen embellishments that make wonderful cookbooks or holiday creations. Both of these collections are made with extra attention to detail in their small-scale, contemporary papers. If you’ve ever enlarged a paper to fit a canvas, you’ll know that smaller scale papers are important and not easy to find.

Heritage Maker guru and Creative Team Manager, Roxanne Buchholz, brings us our next two collections, named “Best of the Olympics” and “Russia.” “Best of the Olympics” contains sports- and travel-related art, including insignias for several countries. Roxanne designed “Russia” in bright, primary colors to extend the “Best of the Olympics” art, at the same time focusing on the Russian experience. With multiple applications for families with children adopted from Russia, those who travel to the area, or those just wishing to extend their paper and element options when using the “Best of the Olympics” collection; this will be a popular and much-used set of artwork.
If you’ve been drooling over Roxanne Buchholz's Vintage books and canvases, but your family background is Canadian, check out “Vintage Canadiana 1.” Full of WWII-era elements, this is the collection you’ll turn to again and again for your Canadian family history. And, knowing Roxanne, we bet there will soon be templates made from this collection. Stay tuned!
Our next art offering is from designer Fayette Terlouw of Pickleberrypop. “Everyday Blessings” is a nod to fall and Thanksgiving, both in color and content. Use the papers year round; they are beautifully made and come in colors that, because of the "hearth-and-home" theme, work well with new cookbook collection “A Good Taste.”
Creative Team Senior Designer Michelle Bell is the creator of our next art collection, “New York, New York.” Full of place names, taxi cabs, subway signs, and skyscrapers, Michelle’s art offering will make recording your next, or last, New York trip easy and delightful. Also check out our “Calendar Grid 2014-2.” Designed with script style months on each grid as the standard offering, word art for each month is also included separately in four styles. Remove the easily cropped-off default month and replace it with the one that best suits your style.
Creative Team members have been busy designing with these new collections and many templates are already available to you. Check them out in our brand new Template Gallery.
As a Heritage Makers Club member, October brings you ten more collections, tagged, stored, and available to you, without the hassle of storing it all on your own computer. How much easier could new art be?
