2013 Mutual Theme Chalkboard Posters in Six Sizes

As promised, I’ve got posters for you! I used my 2013 Mutual Theme logos to create a chalkboard-style poster in 18×24, 16×20 and 11×14-inch sizes for you to use for youth conferences, New Beginnings, Young Women in Excellence, firesides and to hang in your classrooms. Plus, I’ve included 4×6, 5×7 and 8×10-inch sizes so you can have them printed as handouts or gifts for your youth, leaders, parents or to use as binder covers. All in all, this poster set includes 18×24, 16×20, 11×14, 8×10, 5×7 and 4×6-inch high-quality jpeg files ready to upload to your favorite photo printer. (I usually go with Costco.com for printing my posters, but there are several fantastic printers out there.) (NOTE: My watermark is not on the download posters.)

2013 Mutual Theme Logos: Stand Ye in Holy Places

I’m so excited to present to you my 2013 Mutual Theme logos!

When I read this year’s theme, I wanted to create something graphic with references to the temple. Taking inspiration from all the chalkboard art I’ve seen popping up everywhere, I designed my logos with bold lines and interesting fonts. Use these logos for mutual newsletters, t-shirts, posters, invitations, flyers, handouts and more–anything requiring a logo! Continue reading “2013 Mutual Theme Logos: Stand Ye in Holy Places”

Inspired by the Keep Calm and Carry On posters from World War II England, my Stand Ye in Holy Places posters in bright red, blue and yellow work perfectly for binder covers, handouts, visual aids and more.

The 2013 Mutual Theme is Announced!

Woo hoo! The Church has announced the upcoming Mutual theme for 2013:

Stand ye in holy places, and be not moved, until the day of the Lord come; for behold, it cometh quickly, saith the Lord.

Doctrine and Covenants 87:8

I’m excited to start creating printables featuring “Stand Ye in Holy Places.” Watch for them coming in the next several months and if you have suggestions, let me know 🙂

Young Women’s Manual 1 Lesson 26: Testimony Poster and Seed Packet Handout

For a recent Beehive Class lesson, I taught our girls from YW Manual 1, Lesson 26: Testimony. To go along with this lesson, I made my own poster (as directed in the lesson plan) and a seed packet handout to give the girls. Both projects helped to reinforce the idea that a testimony starts small and grows bigger as you nourish it, just like a seed (See Alma 32:28).

YW Manual 1 Lesson 23 Handout: The Process of Forgiveness

I’m teaching our Beehives this week and came up with this quick and easy handout to go with Young Women’s Manual 1, Lesson 23: Forgiveness. The handout  is based on this talk, The Healing Power of Forgiveness by President James E. Faust. Since the process of forgiveness relates so well to the healing of a physical wound, I came up with a 5 1/2-by-4 1/4-inch card designed in the style of a Band-Aid box of bandages. Simply print the cards (four to a page), cut them apart and glue a bandage to each one and you’re ready to give your girls a memorable take-home message from this lesson.
