Come Follow Me 2021 | Scripture Journals

My friend Jenny and I are so excited to share our scripture journals for the Come Follow Me program in our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). We have absolutely LOVED creating and using our CFM journals and we both use it so much in our study. We are so excited for this coming year’s study – D&C and Church History! This year, we are excited to have 3 different versions – make sure to check out our Individual, Family, & Child Editions to help your whole family study and learn from the Come Follow Me experience!

We now have a new site just for these journals – www.comefollowmejournals.com! We are excited to build upon it and share more scripture study tips and helps! It is still a little bit of a work in progress – but you can purchase our journals from there now and so much more to come!

Our scripture journals are available in 2 formats! You can get the digital download printable versions from Etsy (and through our new site) and print and bind the journals for yourself OR purchase our printed versions – which use a print-on-demand service called Lulu xPress to actually get the journals printed and bound for you and shipped to your home! We are so thrilled with both versions and we truly hope it will guide your experience in the D&C this year!

Come Follow Me 2020 | Scripture Journal

Last year, my friend Jenny and I created a scripture journal for the Come Follow Me program in our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). We absolutely LOVED this journal and we both used it so much in our study. Last year was amazing for me – and I really feel like I came to know my Savior so much more than I ever have in my life. We are so excited to bring a new journal into our Come Follow Me series – this year for the Book of Mormon!

This scripture journal provides a place for you to record the powerful happenings, whisperings of the Spirit, and the help heaven is providing for you each day!

So the most exciting thing about our scripture journal this year is that it is available in 2 formats! You can get the digital download version from Etsy and print and bind that journal for yourself OR we have a new option this year – using a print-on-demand service called Lulu xPress to actually get the journal printed and bound for you and shipped to your home! We are so thrilled with both versions and we truly hope it will guide your experience in the Book of Mormon this year!

If you feel that this journal will help guide your experience with the Come Follow Me program this year – I invite you to purchase it now.

Come Follow Me 2019 | Scripture Journal

If you belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, then you know that there is a new program in place this year called COME FOLLOW ME. It has been exciting to hear the improvements that are happening to help grow the church and to help us all grow our testimonies of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

I have also had a bit of anxiety with the realization of the responsibility I have to teach my children about Jesus Christ and the gospel. I admit to having relied a lot on Sunday School, Primary, and the Youth programs to teach my kids and now I have had to try and figure out how to make this program work in my home. I believe with all my heart that the Come Follow Me program is from our Heavenly Father and I know that if we can all implement it into our homes, that we will all gain stronger testimonies of Jesus Christ and build stronger families too.

So the struggle is how to incorporate this program into your family and that looks different for all of us. As my friend, Jenny and I talked about the program and how we were going to implement it, we decided to create a journal that each member of our families’ could use to help our scripture study and hopefully remember the impressions that we get as we feel the Spirit. Our hope is that this journal can help guide and support your family and/or individual scripture study. As you follow the study prompts in this journal, your understanding of the scriptures will increase. You will be better able to learn, live, and teach the gospel. Your study of the scriptures will come alive and you will find new meaning and purpose as you take the time to read and journal your experience.

I am so excited to use this journal! I have truly needed something to help me actually study the scriptures and record the impressions that I get. I need that connection to the Spirit in my life! Thank you to Jenny for making this possible and always inspiring me to become a better person.

If you feel that this journal will help guide your experience with the Come Follow Me program this year – I invite you to purchase it HERE.

Light the World | 25 Days in 25 Ways 2018

I LOVE the Light of the World Campaign that my church has done for the past few years. It has brought the perfect spirit to the season for me and my family. Last year, I created fun printables HERE for this amazing campaign. You can still download them and share in the fun activities, music, and scriptures. (The videos on the printables will no longer work, but check out mormon.org for this year’s videos!) You can also go HERE for some updated advent calendars and fun activities from Brightly Street (they are really awesome).

I can’t think of anything better to do as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, than to serve others. That is what our Savior Jesus Christ did throughout his life. He was the perfect example and there is no greater gift we can give him, than helping to #LightTheWorld by serving those around us.

I realize that it is already the 4th of December, but its NEVER too late to get started. Please check out all the links above and get in on the SERVICE ACTION with your family. You will not regret it! Merry Christmas!

Just a little magic to help start your week off right!
Fun ideas, inspiration, tutorials, or whatever I feel like!

2018 Primary Theme | I Am A Child of God

2018 PRIMARY | I Am A Child of God

If you are LDS and happen to be in a Primary Presidency,
I have some new products for you to help you get ready for the new year!

I AM a part of my ward’s Primary Presidency and I’m so excited about these posters that I created for the upcoming new year! This is my fourth year preparing for the Primary and I really enjoy creating for these great themes!

This year’s theme especially has a special place in my heart. I know that we are all children of a Heavenly Father and he loves us so much!

If you are in the Primary, you know that each month we have monthly themes that go along with the yearly theme, plus monthly scriptures. Many wards, including my own, like to display posters with the month’s theme on it!

We love the big 16×20 posters but I also have 8×10 posters if that is easier for your Primary room! We actually use the big posters in our Primary room and the smaller posters on a bulletin board in the foyer of our church! This year, I have also created a svg file for my I Am A Child of God lettering. You can purchase these now in my store. I’m hoping to create a few more items to help with bulletin boards and such, but I haven’t gotten them done yet. So please email me or comment and let me know what you need and I’ll get creating!

And here’s a couple of “finished” examples so you can see what it could look like. All the photos I used for my posters, I found on LDS.org and just downloaded them and put them in the frame. So if you purchase my posters, you will download them and then stick your own choice of images in the blank slots!
