Reston, Virignia, Hawk Ridge Consulting puts beach lovers in a summer mood with the release of SnowGlobe Maker: Beach Edition, a creative, family friendly entertainment app available on the iPhone app store for $.99. It has a simple mix and match interface and high quality art that are used to create custom sand globes. 

“We all need a distraction when we’re stuck in line, on a long flight, or waiting for an appointment. SnowGlobe Makers appeals to adults and kids who want to occupy their time creatively.  Parents and kids can build a globe together, or take turns creating and sending globes to each other,” said Julie McCool, Hawk Ridge Consulting Founder and Mom to twins. 

SnowGlobe Maker: Beach Edition includes selectable inserts, bases, and backgrounds (over 150,000 possible combinations), a custom label, two zoom levels, two “snow” styles, a tropical theme song, and an integrated snapshot menu. 

Creative adults will appreciate the quality and variety of art–like a beautifully detailed conch shell, a dramatic lightning storm, or a quirky tropical moose–that can be combined to reflect any mood. SnowGlobe Maker is the only iPhone snow globe app that celebrates the beach and offers so many ways to customize.

“As an executive at AOL, I created the Expressions personalization features for instant messaging. I saw how people of all ages love to mix and match art to express their personality and passions,” said Ms. McCool.  With SnowGlobe Maker, creativity, expression and family interaction all come together.
