A wonderful reader of this blog requested something with my 2012 Mutual Theme logo that she could use with a CD of special music she wanted to give to the Young Women in her Stake. I made two options for her. Use either one to add a special touch to a music CD for a YW birthday gift, lesson handout or Young Women in Excellence favor. Or, use them with a YW year-in-review or Girls Camp DVD!

I’ve got another 2012 Mutual Theme custom fabric for you! My Arise and Shine Forth custom fabric pillow fronts were so popular that I’ve got another Arise and Shine Forth fabric print available in my Spoonflower shop.
This time, I’ve created an all-over chandelier print featuring the 2012 theme on a pretty pink damask background. Use this fabric to make this year memorable for all of your girls! Why not use this fabric to:
Spoonflower fabrics are fabulous! They’re just like the printed fabrics you get at the store: colorfast and high-quality. Ordering is easy and they have great customer service as well. Read my previous post on mini pillows for more Spoonflower details.

One wonderful reader of this blog asked for a way to customize the monthly goal pages in my 2012 Personal Progress Calendar project. In case you missed the post, here is a picture of the finished project:
It is six-by-six-inches in size and features monthly calendar pages, monthly goal pages, a planning for 2012 page, a favorite scripture page and two year in review pages. It can stand on a dresser or hang in a locker or on a wall. You could even print out each page to give to your girls each month. You can find out how to put the calendar together by reading the instructions in the download at the end of this post.
In order to make this calendar more customizable, here’s what I came up with for you:
I’ve included everything you need in one big zip file for you to download! Remember, you will need to unzip the download before you can use it. Also, to use the .pdf files, you will need Adobe Reader, which is free from Adobe. com and already installed on most computers.
In the zip you will find:
***IMPORTANT NOTE: You CAN NOT save your information in the interactive .pdf file. Because if this, I suggest you fill in a month at a time and then print out that month. You can always copy your print out to make multiple copies.
This project was so fun for our girls to put together a few weeks ago. They had a great time cutting out their pages and assembling the calendars while socializing together. I hope your Young Women enjoy it as much as they did!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog!

I have been working on this project for quite some time and am sooo excited to finally share it with you! Last summer for Girls Camp, our leaders designed a fun project for the girls to do in their spare time: stuffing pillows! To prepare the pillows, we had our camp theme printed on some custom-designed fabric. Then a generous sister in the ward sewed the six-by-six-inch pillows, leaving an opening for stuffing. Up at camp, the girls got to stuff and sew closed their own special camp mini-pillow.
Inspired by how successful the pillows were for our girls, I designed custom-printed fabric pillow fronts featuring my Arise and Shine Forth 2012 Mutual Theme chandelier logo for you to use! You can easily order my design pre-printed on fabric from Spoonflower.com–no trying to print and iron on a design with less-than-stellar results!
Each eight-by-eight-inch pillow front features the chandelier and full scripture for the Mutual theme. You can select either striped or damask backgrounds.
When you order your fabric, you’ll notice I’ve added cutting lines right into the design, so you won’t need to measure at all–just cut on the lines. Better yet, layer the pillow-top fabric on top of purchased black cotton for the pillow backs and cut out both together! I’ve also allowed for a 1/2-inch seam allowance on each side of the pillow front.
Make these mini pillows for your girls to put on their beds to remind them to pray and “Arise and Shine Forth” in the morning!
Since each pillow front is eight-by-eight-inches square, and each yard of printed fabric is 42-by-36-inches, you get sixteen pillow fronts per yard. At a cost of $18 (US) per yard for the quilting cotton, that makes the cost for each pillow front $1.13 (US)! Add in the cost for black broadcloth/quilting cotton for the backs and poly fiberfill for the stuffing and you have a great gift or craft project for about $2 (US) per girl! You may also have ward members with extra fabric and stuffing they could donate so you don’t have to buy anything but the pillow fronts.
If you need just one pillow front, order a sample for $5 (US) plus $1 shipping and you will get one eight-by-eight-inch pillow front. Fat quarters are also available.
I have more Arise and Shine Forth fabric designs in the works at Spoonflower.com and will release them as soon as I’ve proofed the final prints. They are all-over prints with the chandelier logo or just chandeliers. These prints will work perfectly for pillow backs, or you could combine them with the pillow fronts to make quilts, tote bags, aprons or bandanas. You may want to frame a pillow front for a fast and easy gift. Girls could use my fabric designs to make gifts for Stake leaders, Bishops, camp Secret Sisters or as a Value Project.
To make my finished pillow, I used my custom-designed pillow front fabric and a piece of a black fabric remnant for the back plus about 1/4 a yard of inexpensive (about $1 (US) per yard) blue tulle for the ruffle around the edge. I also added some black beaded trim(about 3/4 of a yard) I got at the craft store. This quick project took me just over an hour to sew, stuff and sew closed.
Spoonflower.com prints on high-quality fabrics which are washable and colorfast, just like the printed fabrics in the store. Plus, at Spoonflower.com, you can order fabrics in several types: Kona cotton, quilting-weight cotton, cotton poplin, cotton voile, cotton silk, linen-cotton canvas, organic cotton interlock knit, organic cotton sateen, upholstery-weight cotton twill and silk crepe de chine. Check out this page here for more information on fabric options.
Here’s how to order my Arise and Shine Forth Mini Pillow Fronts fabric:
Note: One test swatch will give you one pillow front.
If you have any questions about Spoonflower.com fabrics, shipping times and prices or ordering, check out their help page here. I’ve been impressed with their quality and customer service.
I am so excited to share this fun project with you! If you decide to make something using my pillow fronts, please be sure to share your project in the comments!

Here is a great project to do for a YW activity that will inspire your Beehives, Mia Maids and Laurels the whole year through: a 2012 Personal Progress calendar! We made these at a recent Young Women’s Personal Progress activity and I thought I would share this inexpensive project with you.
Encourage your Young Women to work on their Personal Progress every month of the year. This six-by-six-inch calendar fits perfectly in a locker, on a desk or dressor or hanging next to a mirror.
It can easily stand up on its own and be placed on a nightstand, desk or dresser to be in full view every day.
Designed to resemble social media, the calendar features interactive elements including a plan-for-the-year journaling page, Personal Progress goal suggestions, favorite scripture page, monthly personal goal areas and a year-in-review evaluation page plus a testimony page. Every month includes a value suggestion, an inspiring quote, suggested Personal Progress goal and a scripture. If you want to add your own values, quotes, Personal Progress goals and scriptures on the monthly goal pages, check out this post.
Personalize each calendar with optional scrapbooking embellishments, ribbons and buttons and use your choice of papers and cardstock for further customization.
I’ve included step-by-step instructions as well as printable calendar pages in a .pdf file, which you can download by clicking here. It will need to be unzipped before you can use it.
If you want to customize the monthly goal pages, read this post.
NOTE: The instructions are at the beginning of the .pdf file, the printable pages are at the end. It is a large file and may take a little while to download.
I used one of my favorite new tools, a Zutter Bind-It-All, to put together my calendars, but you can bind yours with a Cerlox, staples, rings or any other binding method. Or, you can print the calendar pages and hand them out each month to your girls.
Remember, this project is for noncommercial, personal or Church use only. Don’t share my file with others in any way, simply send them here to download their own copy.
Thank you!
And keep an eye out here for more great projects–the next one I have for you is amazing! Your girls will love it!
To help the Young Women in our ward celebrate their birthdays this year, we’re giving them a handmade bracelet designed to fit with the Arise and Shine Forth Mutual theme. Each bracelet will be presented to the girls in a small gift bag with a custom-designed birthday card slipped inside. Our YW president asked me to make the cards using my 2012 Mutual theme logos and I thought I would share them with you.
The cards measure 3 3/4-by-2 1/2-inches when folded and have the chandelier logo on the front and the full 2012 Mutual theme scripture on the back. My .pdf file lets you print four cards per page.
You can add your own greeting or message on the inside of the cards after you print and cut them out, OR, you can print one of two messages I’ve included in the .pdf inside.
If you choose to use one of my greetings, you will need to print on the back of your printed sheet of cards.
Here’s how:

A wonderful reader asked for a candy-bar wrapper to fit the standard (1.55-ounce) Hershey’s Chocolate bar–and so I put one together for her. I’m excited to share it with you, too! This wrapper is perfect to give to your girls for New Beginnings, birthdays, Valentine’s Day or Christmas gifts, Young Women in Excellence, gift baskets or just because and fits the budget-friendly 1.55-ounce Hershey’s Bar.
The front features my Arise and Shine Forth chandelier logo and the back has the full 2012 Mutual theme as well as an “ingredients list,” a “nutrition facts” box and a “bar code” all enhanced with YW details, scriptures and values.
I’ve saved my files for you in a handy .pdf and as a high-quality .jpeg. I’d love to hear how you use these–just leave a comment!

My next download for you is another reader request. She asked for the posters to be done with the pink, green and yellow backgrounds that I used for the calendars so she can put them on eight-by-ten-inch canvases as gifts for her girls. What a great idea! Not only did I redo the eight-by-ten-inch posters with the new backgrounds, I also did the 8-by-10.5-inch, 11-by-17-inch and 16-by-20-inch posters, too! In each download, you’ll get high-quality .jpegs of the 8-by-10, 8-by-10.5, 11-by-17 and 16-by-20 -inch files as well as a .pdf of the 8-by-10.5-inch file which is perfect for binder covers!
