Activity Days: Mom and Me 4×6-inch Photo Frames

Published on February 17, 2012January 3, 2013 by neishaLeave a comment

Here’s the latest in my series of designs for your next Activity Days Mom&Me activity: a couple of photo frames. They’re designed to dress up your own snapshots and create adorable photo gifts for your Activity Days girls.

During your next Mom and Me event, snap photos of the girls with their moms. Then, after the day is over, combine my two 4×6-inch photo frames in .png format with your pictures. My frames are designed for you to place over your photos using your photo-editing software. (The center portion of the frames is transparent.) Add date information, if you want, then, save your newly framed photos as high-quality .jpeg files. Finally, upload them to your favorite photo printer and have them printed as inexpensive 4×6-inch photos.

Your girls and their mothers will love these wonderful keepsakes of their time together!

Activity Days: Mom & Me Printable Invitations (1.55-ounce Candy Bar Wrapper)

Published on February 6, 2012January 3, 2013 by neishaLeave a comment

When I was an Activity Days leader, some of the most successful activities we had were “Mom & Me” activities. Sometimes we did them in conjunction with a Recognition Activity, but we also did them as stand-alone activities. Have you considered having one of these for your Activity Days girls? Why not! And to get you started, I thought I’d share a cute printable I’ve designed to be used as an invitation to an Activity Days Mom & Me activity.

As you can see, it involves one of my favorite snacks, chocolate! It’s a candy-bar wrapper invitation!

Designed to fit the standard 1.55-ounce Hershey’s chocolate bar (and other similar-sized candy bars), my wrapper features “You’re invitied!” on the front and space to add your details on the back as well as an “ingredients” list with the Primary theme and a “Nutrition Facts” box changed to an “Activity Days Facts” box with all kinds of references to the Faith in God for Girls program and its requirements. Here’s a closer look:

I’ve included two versions of the candy bar wrapper in my download:

a high-quality .jpeg file, ready to edit in your favorite software and print (or print out first and then add handwritten details yourself)

an interactive .pdf file, with text fields where you can add your information once you’ve opened the file in Adobe Reader. You cannot save the text you add, but using an interactive .pdf is a quick and easy way to add your individual details to the wrapper. Adobe Reader can be found here for free and most people already have it installed on their computers.

Over the next while, I will have more Activity Days Mom&Me printables including posters, cupcake wrappers and a photo frame and more plus a few ideas on Mom & Me activities you might consider doing for your next Activity Days event. Don’t worry, I also have some Young Women’s printables coming as well. Don’t miss a post by following to this blog or liking Hang a Ribbon on the Moon on Facebook. I love my followers!

Download the Activity Days Mom&Me candy-bar wrapper invite here. (Both the .jpeg and .pdf are included.)

Remember, you will need to unzip the files before you can use them.

Arise and Shine Forth 16×20-inch Posters: Blank and in YW Value Colors

Published on January 25, 2012January 3, 2013 by neisha6 Comments

Another wonderful reader asked if I could make her some 16-by-20-inch posters in the YW Value colors. She is going to add her own text to them and use them throughout the year. What a great idea! I want to share these posters with you, too! I’ve created eight high-quality 16-by-20-inch posters in each of the following colors: gray (Faith), blue (Divine Nature), red (Individual Worth), green (Knowledge), orange (Choice and Accountability), yellow (Good Works), purple (Integrity) and gold (Virtue). Each poster has the chandelier and black bottom border as well as a unique damask background. Besides using these for YW Personal Progress/Values, they would be perfect for creating large posters for adding Girls Camp photos, featuring your YW Recognition Award-earning girls for Young Women in Excellence, making signs for women’s conference workshops or announcing Relief Society activities and other Church-related events. Use them for birthday parties, bridal showers or baby showers, too!

To customize these posters, you will need a photo-editing program like Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro or Gimp or other similar software. Simply open the .jpeg file you want to use and add text, photos and graphics as you desire. Be sure to save your changes as a high-quality .jpeg file for best printing results. I love uploading my 16-by-20-inch posters to Costco.com for printing! Be sure to use their high-resolution upload option, not their fast upload.

Because of the large file size of each posters, I’ve zipped them into two separate downloads.

To get the full eight-poster set, you will need to download BOTH files.

Also, these are huge files and they may take some time to download, depending on your internet connection speed.

Download Part 1 here.

Download Part 2 here.

Remember, please do not share these files!

Send your friends here to download their own copies.

These files are for non-commercial, personal and Church use only!

Chandelier Invites: Blank and with 2012 Mutual Theme–All in Four Colors

Published on January 17, 2012January 3, 2013 by neishaLeave a comment

I received a comment from Heather asking if I could do my New Beginnings Invite in Portuguese or create one without the logo in English so she could do her invites in own in her language. I was thrilled to do the invite in Portuguese for Heather AND to offer you some variations on the original.

I’ve redesigned my invites with additional backgrounds to the original blue: pink, green and yellow, which compliment my 2012 Mutual Theme calendars. Plus, I’ve provided you with a download of my invite in all four colors without the 2012 theme–they are totally without text! Now, you can use these invitations for a whole lot of other occasions: Young Women in Excellence, Activity Days, Relief Society activities, wedding showers, birthday parties–any occasion you want to create a four-by-six-inch photo-print invite!

Here’s how to customize my blank invitations:

Open the .jpeg file in photo-editing software (Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Paint Shop Pro, Gimp, etc.)
Add your text. Note: If you want to put something on the black area of the invite, be sure you change your text color to white.
Save your file as a high-quality .jpeg file.
Upload your file to your favorite online photo processor. I prefer Costco.com or Shutterfly.com. If you use Costco, DO NOT use their quick uploader. Go with the high-resolution upload, which will take longer, for best printing results.
Order your invitations as four-by-six-inch photo prints. (So inexpensive!)

You will love the quality of a photo-print invitation and your guests will be impressed, too!

Remember, all of my downloads are for non-commerical personal or Church use, only!
