Vinyl Book Cover

For my laurel that is graduating I made this SUPER EASY & CUTE vinyl book cover. I forgot to take pics for a tutorial. But I did make a pattern with written instructions for future use. I would be happy to email them to you!

I bought a travel sized Book of Mormon. I thought it would be perfect to take to college something you could throw in your back pack, or suitcase. I don't know why the travel ones are more expensive than the regular sized? But the travel one was $5.95 at Seagle Book.

I bought my Vinyl at Home Fabrics. They had the biggest variety of vinyl, and it was the cheapest. I think all the vinyl for one book was about $0.50.

I put it in a cellophane bag with a few of her favorite treats and a card, then tied it off with her favorite colored ribbon.

Lesson #19 lm2 Preparing to Teach

I decided to use apple juice for my handout this week. I just covered the "great value" label with some cute scrapbook paper . I found an apple clip art online and printed it onto patterned paper then cut it out and glued it.
I think they turned out pretty cute. I just HATE the blue lids (:

Lesson #18 lm2 Heritage of Righteous traditions

I had some cheap manilla file folders. I am going to decorate them with the word "Traditions" on the front and their name on the little tab part (i'll post pic tonight when I finish them). Then on the inside I will have blank pages with 2 columns that the girls can write:

Column 1- Current traditions they have in their homes & families

Column 2- good ideas for future tradititions.

I am doing a page for the following: Holidays, Birthdays, Righteous, each of the seasons, graduations, anniversaries, etc..

I LOVE traditions and some years I hear other peoples traditions and think Man I want to start doing that but then I forget! So I thought this folder would be perfect to keep it all together.

Lesson # 17 lm2 Family History

I found this cute "MY STORY" journal idea on BECKY HIGGINS blog a while ago and had saved it to my computer for future use. It is such an easy, cute way to journal life. She also has done one that is geared more for adults. The ones I printed were geared for TEENS. Becky Higgins put hers in a binder (1/2 sized binder 5.5''x8.5'') I found some at Office Max but the were $5.99 each. A little more than I was wanting to spend so I had mine spiral bound for $1.99.

See HERE to see what the inside of the journals look like!

Lesson #15 lm2 Temple Marriage

I found some little business card holders a while ago and knew I'd use them sometime for a lesson. These were the little cards I put inside.
Some of the quotes I found here.

I put their names on the outside as well as April 2010 because I wanted them to fill out the cards on how they feel right now.

The Ingredient cards I asked the girls to write things about their future husbands that are a must for temple marriage (honoring their priesthood, a member of the church etc...)
And the Icing cards I asked the girls to write things about their future husbands that weren't really necessary for a temple marriage but a bonus (white teeth, sense of humor etc..)
I saw the ingredient/icing idea HERE under "lesson helps"
The card with the picture of the ring I told them to describe or cut out a picture of what they want their ring to look like.
The card with the picture of the temple I told them to write what temple they would like to get married in.
On the outside of the little holder I mod podged a picture of the temple and wrote "I'm going there some day"

Lesson #14 lm2 The Blessings of the Temple

I just printed off a picture of each girls favorite temple with the quote from the lesson by President Gordon B Hinckley. I just did a google search and found images that I liked. The picture of the Manti Temple was found here. It is taken by Rick Satterfield

Mod Podge Shoes

I saw this idea on MOD PODGE ROCKS a while ago.

The ideas came from Oops I craft my pants & Make It and Love it. I've been wanting to try them for a while and found a little time today. They were SOO easy! I don't know how long they'll last but Hey, they were going in the trash anyway!

Before=SICK old shoes

After=CUTE+sick white legs

peeps

I saw this cute idea on eighteen25. I didn't have to teach this week because we had youth conference so I took my girls this cute inexpensive lil Easter Treat. I had extra peeps so I made some for my visiting teachers too.

Lesson #10 & #11 lm2 Blessings of the Priesthood & Appreciating the Bishop

I taught both of these lessons this week. And since both lessons were about the men in our church I made these cute little paper shirts for their handout. I thought it would be fun but I had no idea how to make one so I just looked up Paper shirt on You Tube. This was the clip I found the easiest to follow SEE HERE

On the back of the shirt I glued this little paper that had things we are blessed with because of the priesthood. It was the list found in the manual. I used an 8.5''x11'' paper for the shirt and a 4''x4'' paper for the paper to glue.

I then taught the girls how to make the little shirts and told them to write a thank-you note to either the bishop or their dads.

Lesson #9 A young woman as a peacmaker in her home

I first had the girls make a list of things that had made them angry in the week. Then a list of things that made them happy.
I used a lot of President Monsons talk on Finding Peace SEE HERE

I liked this quote:

We then talked about ways to feel peace. I used the 3 things President Monson suggested in his talk.

Search Inward, Reach outward, and Look heavenward. We discussed ways we could do each of those things.

I then talked about why the dove is a symbol of peace (Noah's arc).

I made these little door hangers for the girls to be reminded to be Peacemakers in their homes.

I ordered this but I didn't get it in time to stamp my own. But I found these cute little charms at Michaels. It came in a pack of 5 and the birds were all different. It was more than I usually like to spend for my lessons but still only cost me about $0.45 each. the girls loved them.
