13th Article of Faith Subway Art

I have been working on some subway art for girls camp. The theme for the year is the 13th Article of Faith. This is what I came up with, what do you think?

This will be printed off on to scrapbook paper and mod podge to a block of wood just like this and this.

Johnson FHE board

A couple of weeks ago my sister did a blog post displaying her Family Home Evening board. I wanted to take the opportunity to share the board I made for my family. 

I made it the same way I made my "welcome" board. Using the left over plywood I had painted it red and cut letters out on my Cricut machine.

So fun, so easy. It's not completely finished yet. I want to add a narrow piece of metal under the "assignments", and create magnets for each member of my family.

Family Home Evening is a great way to spend precious time with the ones you love, learning about religious beliefs, such as being able to be with our families forever. I have read somewhere that when a family spends time together often, as children grow they get into less trouble and tend to stay on a good narrow path of life. A weekly family home evening can facilitate that. 

Young Womens Theme Subway Art

This is Girls Camp Craft Number 2!

I have seen this Subway Art on a ton of blogs so I decided to try it out. I Created this on photoshop and then printed it off on card-stock scrapbook paper. 

 

I painted my board blue then I used mod podge to put the paper on the board.

I like the way it turned out, I don't love the blue on the board I might sand it off and try another color. If you are going to try this be sure to use card-stock and not regular paper, it wrinkles and doesn't really work. I am also working on another word combo using the key words in the Thirteenth Article of Faith.

I could do a free printable if anyone really wants, just let me know. 

welcome to our home

Everyday, whenever I leave my house I walk past this sign.

I made it last year when we moved to the apartment we live in now. It sits on top of a pipe at the top of our stairs outside our apartment. I made it so that people that come and try to find our apartment they know where to go. It's worked great so far for that purpose. 

It started out as a piece of plywood left over from another sort of project (we were not able to fit our box spring down the stairs, now we have a few pieces of plywood under our mattress). I painted it red first and then with yellow so that when I sanded it to give it a bit of character there was a different color underneath.

I sanded some of it down to the wood and some of it just to that red layer of paint.

I got a Cricket machine from my husbands work, they were going to throw it away! So he saved it for me. I cut the letters of my name and forever with my Cricket, I think I am a big fan of red, brown, green and yellow. It's all over my house.

Then I glued the letters onto the board where I wanted them to go, and put several layers of Modge Podge to finish it off.

I really like how it turned out

Fabric Flower

This is a first in what will hopefully be a series :) I am going to girls camp!! I am so excited! I will be doing camp crafts so I am trying out some of the ideas we have to see how long they will take and how much they will cost. I got this fun idea from A Little Tipsy. She has some super cute ideas!

This is what I used:

Glue Gun

Fabric

Scissors 

and a Button

Cut your fabric into circles

Fold each circle in half and then in half again

Glue them to one of the your circles (I used a different piece of fabric)

Glue your four circles onto your main circle

Glue your button on top

On the back I added a strip of fabric to slide a clip under so the clip can be reused.
