Baptism Cupcake Toppers

I was thinking about a simple way to decorate for that special birthday when they turn 8, and this was the result! Simple cupcake toppers that celebrate the event while keeping it focused on the spirit of what's taking place.




I ended up doing four pages to feature the four colors: green, silver, pink, and blue. Each page is fully sized to print as an 8.5x11 page - this allows each topper to be 2 inches. A pdf file may be easier to work with for this particular project - but I've not saved files from my own blog before and am not sure if it's necessary.

Feel free to email me with questions. I really like how these turned out!

Mesa, AZ Temple -- I love to see the temple




My husband and I were married in the Mesa, AZ temple. With the extra encouragement this past General Conference to put a picture of the temple in every room, I thought of a way to do this. As I enjoy creating things on the computer - I took a picture of the mesa temple, took out the background, made it a silhouette, and created this printable. "I Love to See the Temple" is not only a favorite and beautiful song, but a beautiful reminder as well. If you would like to use this picture, sized to print as an 8x10, click on the image and then right click to save.

Remembering My Baptismal Covenants




With one daughter already baptized and one getting ready to be baptized in a few short months, I wanted a way for them to review and remember the covenants they were making. Every Sunday covenants can be renewed as we worthily partake of the sacrament. I wanted to help them focus on what they promise and what is promised in return. This simple 4x6 can be printed and kept in their scriptures as a bookmark and constant reminder. Click on the image and then right click to save.

ABCs of the Abundant Life





Having just started a new year, this month's Ensign came with a challenge: to live the Abundant Life all year long. To help us remember how to do this President Monson gave us the ABCs of the Abundant Life. I created a simple 4x6 printable of his ABCs to put up in the house as a daily reminder.
