Spring is Sure to Follow – Take 2

Here are a few more printables with the same quote I shared last week.  These are a little more fun and flirty… just how I think of spring.  The links are listed below to the 4shared URL’s.  Enjoy!

Family Proclamation Book

I don’t often post things that have a focus on my religion.  It is a big part of who I am, but I don’t want anyone to feel like I’m shoving anything in your face.  With that being said, this post has a mild LDS theme, due to the fact I used The Family: A Proclamation to the World for this project.  This project could also be completed with quotes on families, mothers, fathers, children, ect.  I’m not going to get all preachy or anything, if you are interested or have questions, feel free to email me or check out the LDS website.  I expect any and all comments to be respectful.  Thanks.  Now, let’s get to the good part.

I saw this concept on The Idea Door and fell in love.  I love to personalize things.  If you’ve been hanging out here long, I’m sure you’ve noticed.  My mom is the Relief Society (the women’s organization) activity leader in her ward.  She has been looking for ideas for a craft day.  She saw the same idea and told me, “Oh, Krista, I WANT one!  Make me one, pah-leeeeze.”  Just like that.  How do you tell your momma “no” when she asks like that?!?  Well, it was going to be her birthday gift, but I still have to scan her photos in and haven’t had time to do that that.  And her birthday is Wednesday.  So… Maybe for Mother’s Day.  However, all of our pictures are digital and already on the computer.  And I had already made up the templates for my mom’s… So, I just plugged our pictures into the templates.

Please DO NOT take these photos.  They are my personal photos of my family and I would appreciate it if you’d respect our privacy.  Thank you.

It’s a very basic color scheme, as I will probably end up printing them off of my printer.  I looked into getting them professionally printed and for a single copy they wanted more than I am willing to fork out.  So, I will probably just scrapbook them.  I like that look anyway.  I may, reluctantly, hand over the money for my mom’s book.  We’ll have to see I guess. 

This would be a great Mother’s Day gift.  As I mentioned, if you don’t want to use the Family Proclamation, gather some quotations.  This would be a nice deviation, as you could make the quotes fit the photos, instead of the other way around.  With the words already written, I had to find photos that went along with the quotes.  As soon as I get the book put together I will post photos of the whole finished project too.  I wanted to throw this into the idea pool as a Mother’s Day gift with enough time for you to pull it off, if you decide to do it.  Good Luck!

Spring is Sure to Follow Printables

We’ve little ‘tastes’ of spring time, but ugly old winter is still hanging on.  I wish winter would just go away!  I’m very, VERY ready for flip flops and sunshine, flowers and gentle breezes.  I’m not asking for summer, but I’m tired of wearing my winter coat.  I really like this quote.  It’s a great reminder that, eventually, the sunshine will come.  I also love that it can be applied in a more general idea too.  No matter what challenges come our way, at some point things have to start going up again.  Enjoy!  If you do something cool, or not so cool, send me a link!

Click HERE to go to the 4shared site.  You can navigate to the other colors from there by clicking on the images of the other pieces.  If you have any problems with 4shared, email me and I’ll send you back a copy of the ones you want (make sure you include which ones you’d like).  Oh, and the first two actually are different, the first is a white background (providing you the option to print on any paper you’d like).  The second is a little more creamy colored, rather than a stark white background.  Just FYI… didn’t want you thinking, “Hey, crazy lady!  Those are the same!”

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
