Big Ben Parliament Creations Releases Christmas iPad App Today on iTunes, Santas Christmas Activity Book

Reno, Nevada (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Big Ben Parliament Creations (BBP Creations) has released their new app on iTunes today, Santas Christmas Activity Book.


The app focuses on bringing the magic of the holiday season to children of all ages, stated Aurelia Goodfellow head of Marketing for BBP Creations. Children will be able to select from 10 different activities in the app. Activities include; decorating a Christmas tree, building a snowman, decorating a gingerbread man, word matches of 2 different levels, color matching, 3 counting activities and of course writing a letter to Santa.


The app allows users to print and email certain activity screens as well as reset each activity for hours of playtime. Parents will love the app as it has parental controls for disabling the email, print and background music. The best activity is Santas letter where a child can write or draw their letter to Santa, email it and receive a response within minutes with a new email from Santa being able to be received weekly through Christmas.


BBP Creations worked with Rich Simms, an accomplished artist, to design the graphics for the app. Simms has worked for 20th Century Fox on films such as Anastasia and Titan AE. Simms has also worked for Dreamworks on their premiere project, Prince of Egypt and won the Rochester Independent Film Festival in the Category of Animated Short Subject for his film, The Letter.


Last week, BBP Creations released a teaser video on Youtube and released a second video today. The videos were a compilation of talent. BBP Creations scripted and directed the videos, Matt Plumb, of LON.DEN Pictures, voiced the narration, and John Hartzell, of Irish Moose Productions, was in charge of filming and editing. Creating a teaser and a launch video of the app, really helps people see the warm holiday atmosphere the app can create for a child around the festive season, stated Goodfellow. We all want to have that Christmas spirit and to create it for our children. The holiday can invoke such a magical creative world for kids that can make memories to last a lifetime.


Along with releasing "Santa's Christmas Activity Book" for the iPad a Lite version was also released today, "Santa's Christmas Activity Book Lite."


For the last 3 years, BBP Creations has developed in-house applications for the iPhone, iPad and thumb drives for large corporations. They are known for their quality apps, creativity and thorough testing to create flawless applications.

Folk Artist and Suicide Prevention Advocate, Heather Mccready, Continues to Offer Hope with the Release of Her Fourth CD, "Christmas, The Way I Hear It"

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

She will make you smile with her youthful whimsy and mesmerize you with her signature sound. Heather McCreadys music is always a uniquely crafted, finely tuned blend of gently rolling folk, haunting celtic, rich classical and free-spirited whimsy.


Be sure to tune in to Fox 4 "Good Day Dallas" between 8-9:00 A.M to see Heather and her band perform songs from "Christmas,The Way I Hear It"! They will be promoting the Chi Omega Christmas Market Charity Event held on November 16th and 17th at the Dallas Convention Center where they will be performing again.


This remarkable Christmas album shines in large part due to the incredible musicianship of Milo Deering. Milo is highly respected and in-demand as a producer, arranger, and composer who has played, arranged, and produced literally hundreds, if not thousands, of CD's, commercials, and movies in his career. Milo amazingly played all the beautiful instrumentation heard on "Christmas, the Way I Hear It" with the exception of the cello, played by master level cello player Brian Magnus. The music he plays includes guitars, violin string arrangements, mandolin, fiddle, bass, banjo, and percussion! The CD is full of imagination, warmth and the stunning vocals of Heather McCready and Milo Deering together. Their harmonies glide effortlessly around the melody like a warm and comforting blanket.


"Christmas, The Way I Hear It" is available on CD Baby, and will soon be available on iTunes as well.

Watch the video of "Silent Night" that inspired it all!
