Anyway... at the beginning of every new year, we introduce a new theme - a mission statement of sorts for the girls to live by during the year. I came home after hearing the new theme and decided I wanted to make something for my girls to remind them daily of the theme and their commitment to Jesus Christ. [Hopefully.] The text comes from the Articles of Faith.
You can't really tell here [because of the white background], but I'm going to print this out on heavy weight, 8 1/2 x 11 paper - I increased the margins A LOT so the text really stands out. Pretty fun. I love the letterpress look!
Isn't that text beautiful and inspiring? [When it says "admonition of Paul," it's talking about Paul the Apostle, in the New Testament. Basically that we live what he taught.]
that is so neat! i love it! i think they'll enjoy this a lot because its something they would actually want to hang up in their room or locker at school! great job!
ReplyDeleteWell, my post and your post today are slightly different. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO awesome!! Look at you, just being so talented!!
ReplyDeletelove that!! It is so pretty!!!
ReplyDeletei love it! how did you make it? i would love to learn how!
ReplyDeleteThat is really great and inspiring. It's easy to forget the full meaning of the articles of faith when you're reciting them from memory, but reading it this time really made me appreciate #13. :) Thanks for sharing!

Jenna - I put it together using inDesign. Each of those text lines are a different text box so I could manipulate the font size, design, kearning and color. It took a little bit to put together, but I think it turned out well! Thanks for your excitement!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh I'm so in love with that! So trendy and cute, I would totally hang that on *my* wall!
ReplyDeleteJust heard about your blog from a friend! So cute! I too am a young woman leader for the 13-15 year olds. I would love to use this design as my "gift" to the girls for their birthdays this year--would you be willing to allow me to? Email me and we can work out the details if you'd be willing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, and I'll be adding your blog to my blogroll right now!
All the best,

Ashley! This is your ol' seminary teacher... I saw your blog on your facebook page the other day when I was catching up on old friends and I have to say that you have turned out to be just the amazing young woman I always thought you would become. And I totally just used this printout for my classroom. So you just reached 100 more youth. So THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteShannon... thrilled to hear from you! Thanks for your kind note... and so happy to know you're using the printout. Makes my day!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Ashley! I love it! Is there any way I could print this out? I love it so much! It's absolutely beautiful and I would love to frame it for my house :) You're always so inspirational. THanks for your blog. Love you girl :)
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool - I wish I were artistic.
ReplyDeleteWOah. This is AMAZING. Seriously. SO so great!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!! It says it all! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI love it! You remind me of my young women leaders who were always doing cute, creative things to get me excited about living the Gospel. Those girls are lucky to have you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this lovely work! I made stickers for my girls for new beginnings using it. Our theme was "we seek after these things" and because of this lovely print I have actually framed my opening remarks around applying the 13th article of faith to each of us individually. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know I linked back and gave you credit for your work on my blog janeami.blogspot.com!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just happened to find your blog and I am so glad that I did. I absolutely love the Articles of Faith words that you created. It is just beautiful. I had to thank you for being so talented and for sharing it with others. I do the same with my three blogs, one for Visiting teaching called Visiting teaching tips handouts and ideas, and another for cute little printables, ideas, templates and crafts at my companion blog called visiting teaching surprise. I also have a blog for young women too, so you are certainly welcome to come to my blogs too and gleam from whatever you are looking for too, if not just to drop by. Thanks again, Katie G.
ReplyDeletei love this! i would love to do this for each of my girls for girl's camp as our theme this year is the 13th article of faith. how much do you charge for this? is it something you could email me in a jpeg that i could print as a picture? do you even sell it??
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so pretty! I hope your girls appreciate it. I still have a few of the really pretty things my YW leaders gave me back in the day!
