Primary: Articles of Faith

I designed a set of singing guides to teach LDS Primary children the thirteen Articles of Faith. Thought I'd put them up here just in case someone can use them. 

The complete PDF is available for download here.

Cleaning things up

Our bathroom has held two empty picture frames side by side for about nine months now. I hung them up with the best of intentions—get the frames hung and out of the last moving boxes in the garage, and then find the art for them when I had a minute.

Finally, today, after looking around a bit and not seeing quite what I was looking for, I made these two little printables: Wash and Dry. I just wanted something that was clean, simple, and that would tie into the teal tones in the bedroom. 

The color didn't translate as clearly in the jpg files that I put up here, so if you'd like a better version, I've put the PDFs up here. Enjoy!

Font Friday

Just found the blog Design Editor (which I am sure I will be spending more time on). She participates in a group called Font Friday. Super fun (if you're a typography nerd like me). Anyway, her pick this week was from one of my favorite free (and well-designed) font sources, The League of Moveable Type.  

Introducing Fanwood.

I must use this is sometime, and soon.

Curly and swirly

It seems like every time I turn around I'm looking for some sort of fun swirly or crazy curlique to dress up something or other. The Vector Graphics Blog is a great resource for this kind of thing, if you're looking (they have lots of stuff too besides ornaments and frames).

Here's a link to the Ornate Design Elements Vector files pictured here. 

 

 

Silk

If you need to waste some time, play around with Silk online. It's pretty :) 

Providence

As in, I'm continually amazed by the things available online, free of charge. 

1. For example, if you want vintage images for craft projects, you could go to The Graphics Fairy.

I keep on thinking of ways to use this on our Christmas card ...

2. Or, if you want vintage prints and posters to frame around the house, go to Vintage Printable. (I love browsing here ... don't blame me if you find your hour's gone.)

Lucy would love the "rainbow," Nick the spectrum, and me? I just think it looks good :) 

3. And if you want to print out a fancy invitation fast? Gorgeous templates at Download & Print.

Isn't that pretty?

4. The New York Public Library has open access to over 700,000 digitized images ... and the Prints and Photographs Reading Room at the Library of Congress is fascinating.

5. I love the projects (and the concept) at Kind Over Matter. I'm debating about printing up one of their cute animal ABCs for Baby Brother's bedroom.
