We've been getting our crafts ready for
:A little teaser for all my Pasco 1st Ward ladies!:
My sweet friend Celia {she's right down there in that photo!}is a graphic designer and had reformatted the Family Proclamation. We went round and round on how to make it a craft in a larger format and then I thought: What about going smaller?! So here is what I came up with.
I started with 3 blocks. Two that are 5x7 and one 1.5x7.
First I painted the wood black, let it dry and then modpodged on a family photo.
Then I added my vinyl to the small block.
I modpodged the proclamation on my third block. After all three were dry I sanded the edges of the blocks and the paper AND the picture. Then I used my distressing ink pad {walnut stain} to distress the edges a bit. Doesn't wood always look a little better distressed?
It would also be cute if you used a 4x6 photo and put some scrapbook paper behind it. You could also add any kind of embellishments that you wanted. Kind of fun huh?
Just a little bit more personal way to display the Family Proclamation.
EDIT! CLick HERE to get your proclamation download.
Cute, cute. I am sure I will be missing out on some cute crafts this year.....booo for me. Can't wait to hear all about them.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!!! Cannot wait to see what else you girls come up with.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I would definitely want to make some of those.
ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteCan I come to your super saturday? seriously...
yeah, i'm totally digging the reformatting on the proc. 3 columns is sa-weet! smaller is nice, especially since i'm finding i have like no room left on my walls to hang another single. darned. thing. so smaller works for placing it on the piano or a shelf. brilliant execution!
ReplyDeleteanother one that my cousin did a while back is a collection of 3 on her entryway's wall. The Living Christ, The Proclamation, and her husband's Line of Authority. all 3 are framed and matted, but each document she printed on vellum, and then laid over the appropriate photo: a print of Christ, a family picture, and a photo of her & her husband. very stirring seeing them altogether on the same wall. the realization of the power of God, behind all three. so amazing. =)
Love it, I will definitely be doing that one for Super Saturday.
ReplyDeleteJenn- Thanks SO much for linking up on 30days. Need to make one for my fam. I've seen the Family Proclamation done a lot of ways and I am loving this!
ReplyDeletexo, Mique
I LOVE this!! Is there any way I can like buy a copy of the proclamation printed like this from you? I'm way too lazy to figure out how to reformat it myself. I was going to ask you in person, but didn't see you at the farmer's market last Friday. Thanks! Stefanie
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I would also be interested in getting the proclamation in this format if your friend is willing to share or sell it.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I have been saving this to feature! It will publish tomorrow (Wednesday) on somewhat simple! Thanks for the fun idea!
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE this! What a fantastic idea! This would be cute for wedding gifts :o)
ReplyDeleteWould you be willing to share the new Family document? I'm not crafty when it comes to computers and it just looks so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Would you be willing to share the Family document? I'm not crafty when it comes to computers, but I really love this craft.

THANKS!
Thanks for this tutorial! It's something I would actually display in my home and looks simple enough for my meager "making" skills.
ReplyDeletehey luv, we're still getting gals signed up... but many love this idea, however i forgot what the cost is on this project? ::hugs::
ReplyDeletei think this may be the one we want you to teach us! :D you're so brilliant, just sayin.
still digging the cupcake ornies though too. whaddya think a set of 3 or 4 of those would cost to make? biggest expense would be the ornaments themselves.... am i right?
anyhow, thanks again! ::hugs::
Where did you get your wood? Can you buy it in those sizes? Thanks for any info.
ReplyDeleteI love this! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your re-design! However, Scribd says I have to be a premium member (with a monthly subscription) to download. Does that allow you to get paid for your work or is Scribd taking all of it? If it's meant to be a free share, would you mind emailing a copy?
ReplyDeleteI would like to make this for a wedding gift for a friend's son. Like the above comment, Scribd is telling me I must buy a membership. I don't remember needing this in the past. If you meant your proclamation to be free, would you mind emailing me a copy? bisbahr@gmail.com Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI would like to do this for our super saturday. Having the same issue as comments above. Can I get a copy emailed....or a way to pay for the print without a subscription. melaniedcarlsen@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteJust like the aboved person... we really want to do this for our Super Saturday Activity. Would you mind emailing me a copy of one tall and one landscape. hsguentherlmp@hotmail.com Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWould love to make this project, however, I'm having a difficult time downloading the proclamation. Is it possible to get a copy of it via email. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have you email me a copy of the proclamation as well. If you have a bigger 8x10 size that would be even better. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCould I get a copy via email as well. Thank you
