Merry Christmas!

I haven't been able to create all the posts I had been planning to do, since  I have been sick with all my 3 kids being sick the past 7 days,  but I want to take even just a second to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas.

May we all create special memories and make the time to record them in a journal, a book, or any other means.

Buon Natale!!!!

Cheer for the sport hero in your family!

How much time do you spend running your kids around to go to their sport practice? How many games you go to cheer your kid up?

You spend so much time supporting your child endeavors, that you need to preserve it in a book!

Your children are the best, they are the champions, it doesn't matter is only to you or the whole team! Let them  know by creating a book about this or last year season, personalized lanyards, flashcards for the whole team, and super cool posters to proudly show off in their bedroom!

With the many sport related templates, it is so easy to tell your child he/she is the hero in your home!

You can coordinate them too!

Look at this fantastic Soccer collection!

Check them out!

Soccer Coach 8x8 Storybook

Soccer 24x18 Poster

Soccer Trading cards

and how about this super cool football collection?

Check them out!

More coordinates will be added, but there are many more sport templates too choose from and  and if you don't like something, you can always modify a template to match it to your child's team colors, add more or less pictures, you can really do anything you want with these templates!
How about a cute clock with a picture of your baseball champion:

How great would be for your kid to be the star on a magazine cover like this:

or to be in a great poster like this?

  with a coordinated book like this?

How cool would this 12x12 page look framed!

On the CavaGenealogy facebook page you will find pictures of more posters, cards, books etc to choose from or to sparkle your ideas for your little champion!
Should you not find the template for the item you are looking for, no problem! I can always create it!
So, cheer for the sport hero in your family, and preserve these precious memories!

I am also going to set up a virtual workshop post, where those of you that don't live in the Jacksonville area or just have no time to have a get together with their friends/and or family, can just send their "virtual guests" so that they might see all  the wonderful products available and can choose what they want.

Give the gift of Story!

Are you a cat lover?

If you know me, if you really really know me, then you must know that I am a cat lover. I have taken care of hundreds of cats during the course of my life
I cannot possibly count the times my mom would scream at me for bringing home yet another cat in desperate need.
I cannot blame her, in fact, I would take such good care of these cats, that not only would they survive, but they would thrive, and pretty much start a tribe at our home and property.
What can I say... I loved them, and they loved me! I had to leave 20 cats when I came here to America, and I still miss them and dream of them...
I have many stories I could tell you about them, and probably will, little by little, share all that they have thought me...
While we don't have cats in our home(YET), I always think of them, so you can imagine how much I fell in love with this swatch book template when I discovered it in the template gallery.

Click here to see a preview of the whole template, you'll get a kick out of it!

I think it would make a perfect gift for an animal lover like me!
You can bring your favorite pet with you everywhere you go!

I miss my cats so much that I have decided to give away a swatch book credit to a real cat lover.
Leave a comment telling me about your cat(s), and why you think he/she/ they deserve(s) to be on a swatch book.
The most touching/funny/crazy story about your cats that I will receive before Christmas, will be the one that will make someone a proud cat  swatch book owner.
Start going down memory lane,while going through those pictures of your best friend, I am sure you will find the perfect story to share with us!^_^

Another cool idea: Home decor tiles

Looking for an extra something for the bookshelf in the living room, for the counter in the bathroom, for the credenza in the dining room? Home décor tiles make perfect display pieces for any room of the house. Plus, the tiles are simple to make and the materials easy to find. You can add a little something extra to your home with little more than a snap. Here’s how to get started.

Materials needed

• Tile template from the Template Gallery. Just type in “tiles” in the keyword search to find beautiful 12×12 scrap pages made into tile templates. (Four this project, choose a template that comes with four squares to go on 6×6 tiles)
• Mod Podge
• Sponge brush
• Four 6×6 tiles (can find these at Home Depot, Lowes, or other home improvement store.)

Get started:

1. Find the template you want to work with in Heritage Makers Template Gallery and modify it to fit your style in Studio editor.
   
   
   
   
   1. To replace papers and photos, keep the element you want to replace locked in place, click it so it is highlighted, and drag the replacement paper or photo over the “drop here to swap” window that will appear.
   2. Delete and replace other embellishments to design the template just the way you want it.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Publish and order your project. You can continue with the rest of the steps when you project arrives.
3. Cut out the tile square from your finished 12×12 scrap page so each measures as a 6×6 paper.
4. Using a sponge brush, apply Mod Podge over the top surface of one 6×6 tile.
5. Place one 6×6 square paper over the Mod Podge area of the 6×6 tile so it is centered and aligned with the edges.
6. Apply more Mod Podge over the top of the 6×6 square page. Make sure the corners of the paper glue securely to the tile.
7. Repeat steps 4 – 6 with the remaining square papers and tiles.
8. Let tiles dry.
9. When the tiles are finished, you can embellish each with a simple ribbon or let stand as is.
10. Use a display stand to show off your tile pieces in any room.
