Stake Youth Conference

I just did a few posters for the stake and thought I’d make this one a freebie. If you have a Stake Youth Conference coming up, feel free to download and customize the details for your own event. Preview is below, click here for the high resolution version to use.

Don’t forget to leave a comment if you download it and say what you’d like to see next on my little blog!

Here is how it looks with the info on. I used the font “Euphonia Latin” which I bought at myfonts.com, fyi.

Pretty Banners

I recently got an email from a lovely YW leader asking if she could send me photos of the banners her girls made. Yes of course! And these are absolutely darling, the little flowers add such a nice touch. Here are photos from their activity, so I thought I’d share with the rest of you:

Girls holding their personal YW banners, which are smaller than the classroom one and says "I" instead of "we. Look at those cute flowers and ribbon!

As a side note, one of my Young Women told me that this summer when her family went on a long trip she packed her personal mini YW banner in her suitcase to hang on her wall while she was away. How cool is that?

Thank you Fawn for sending these along. If any of you have photos of your banners please do send them in and I’ll be happy to post them as well. :)

A Brand New Year 2010

I cannot praise the Church enough for getting their youth programs online. The new youth.lds.org is full of great information that the youth and we leaders can download, print and share, based around this year’s theme of Be Strong. If you haven’t seen it, forget my blog and have a look.
If you’re still here, here’s [...]

Personal Progress Redesign

Still on Christmas break, but had a little time to write. I thought in this post, I’d speak as a designer and give my ‘design review’ of the new YW Personal Progress visuals (not the content). And also to give a shout-out to the designer as I’m sure trying to please a committee of women [...]

Prayer Preview

I have been playing around with intricate paper cuts. Here is my first test cut of Prayer. More to follow when the whole dissertation is over!

In the Stake

No one tells you how hard Young Womens is, especially the part where they release you from your calling. I’ve had a lot of callings over the years, but none that I shed tears over after it was done (shedding tears during, that is another issue).
Seriously, did my leaders ever cry when they got released [...]

2010 Young Women Theme now available

Hey I’ve just added the 2010 YW Scripture to my etsy shop. It comes free with every YW Theme banner purchase. And it also matches the YW value banners. BTW, the YW Value Banners sold out last year due to YW in Excellence and New Beginnings. If you order your value banners before December 1 [...]

Western Modern Announcement

Usually I dislike designing wedding announcements. Not because I don’t enjoy coming up with new ways to announce a marriage, but because of all the people involved. Someone once told me that if you choose colors by committee you always end up with beige. This happens with announcements too, if you show too many people [...]
