Framed Family Proclamation & Relief Society Motto

Relief Society Motto matted with navy blue paper with cream stars. Ribbon is cream, red and blue. Cute!

Family Proclamation is matted with brown/cream paper and hung with a brown, black and cream ribbon.

I've had a stack of these 8 1/2" x 11" frames for many years now. I think my original idea was to frame the R.S. motto and decorate it back when I was in the R.S. Pres. but never got to it. Since we've been studying the family lately in Young Women I thought it would be nice for the girls to frame a proclamation for a mutual night. We had a lot of fun. The girls are very creative. I took my cardstock and decorative edge scissors and punches and they all did a great job. I had a couple frames left over so I made these the next day.

Easter Carrots

I hadn't made these in a few years so I thought it would be a good idea to make some for the combined YM/YW activity and take them around to members of the ward to wish them a Happy Easter. It was a little overwhelming to say the least to try to get 40 youth to work on these but eventually we made 20 carrots and set out on our visits. The members that we visited were very happy to be remembered so that made it all worthwhile. I had extra supplies so I made a bunch more and we took them around on Sunday to some family members and I also gave them to the YW at church.
The cutest thing about them I think is the paper. It is Provo Craft. It was being "retired" about 12 years ago so I bought a ream of it and just use it to make carrots from. Yeah it'd been a while since I'd made some. I was going to post a tutorial on how to make them but since Easter is over maybe I'll do it next year.

Young Women Value Blocks

I'd been wanting to do some sort of decoupage project on wood blocks for some time now and the other day I thought of this. They were super easy. The only thing I had to buy is the blocks because I already had everything else. I printed "Young Women Values" and each of the values in different fonts to give it a little variety. I used scrapbook paper that I had on hand along with punches and borders. The little flowers you see are cut from a "page a day" Mary Engelbreit calendar from several years ago. I hadn't used Mod Podge in many years. Just applied it with a foam brush to each layer as I went. I wanted to practice and show the other YW leaders. We'll be doing this project for mutual soon.
