New Kits - Oh Christmas Tree

I'm very excited to announce my very first kit - designed by me, inspired by many. There are 92 digital elements, 29 papers and two different alphas in the first kit. (Not all items are shown in the preview) There are 8 quick pages in the second kit.

Just click on the Add to Cart buttons on the right to purchase them for only $1.50 each kit through Paypal. Please give me 24 hours to email you the kits. :)

Encouraging The Development of Talents

Young Women Manual 1 Lesson 47 is on Encouraging The Development of Talents. I used VanGough's painting for this and forgive me for adding one more flower to the arrangement in order to balance out the handout with it's words.

Here is the handout in jpg.

I hope you like this one and that it's not too late. :)

How to make Handouts

A great way to make your own handouts for YW is to use a free blog background. A great resourse for that is Allie Browns Layouts where you'll find nearly a hundred different designs from which to choose. Simply click the link, or the layout, so that you get a large version. Right click and save it on your computer. Then open it up with your picture software, or insert the photo into Word - see below (I like Publisher, make it postcard size, and set it up to print four times onto one page) and add the text. Wahla! Your done.

I figured out Microsoft Word for those who don't have Publisher. Go to this website to download a template for Postcards for Word. Then, when the template is opened on your computer highlight the text in the first box, and insert the picture you want as your background into it's place. Repeat this for the remaining three spots. Then, go to the Insert menu and choose Text Box. Write your text and format it. Select the box and right click. Choose Format Text Box and choose No Color for both Fill Color and Line Color. When you have finished the handout, select the text box, and copy and past it over the other three backgrounds previously inserted into the template. Hope this helps.

The Purpose and Value of Education

The Young Women Manual 1 Lesson 46 is about the Purpose and Value of Education. I have so many school-themed digital elements I collected from The Blog Train's August Back-To-School collection that I couldn't help but use a variety of those to make this handout. A veteran home-school mom myself, my eye loves any school related fun stuff.
