I am still working hard at doing illustrations for this year's Santa Book. I have missed posting free goodies here for you all. And while I don't have any freebies to post today, I thought I might at least give you a preview of some of my favorite illustrations from the book. I hope you'll enjoy them.

Young Women's Knowledge Pennant
Knowledge Pennant Handout
My sister asked me to help her with this handout last week for her young women's class. She attached it to a small package of cookies. It says: "Be a smart cookie, commit yourself to a great education" We thought some of the rest of you might be able to use it too.

Primary 2015!
I've finally finished illustrating volume 2 of Santa Claus, All Year Long. So, I've been relaxing with some fun illustrations for next year's primary theme. I hope you'll like them. Keep watch for more to come.

"I know my Savior Lives" Book Marks
Let me explain the pictures here. I was thinking - "I know my Savior Lives" is about having and gaining a testimony. So I drew pictures of ways kids can gain a testimony. Through reading the scriptures, the words of living prophets, faith and prayer. I'm sure there are other ways, but these are the main ideas that came to me. I also tried to leave space at the top to punch a hole and put a ribbon or some string through.

2015 mutual theme
I had a little fun with my illustration for next year's mutual theme. I hearkened back to my days as a scrapbook paper designer and played with a few filters in photoshop. I like the way it turned out. The 'letter' in her hand is supposed to be a mission call of sorts. Perhaps a mission call she received in the pre-existance or any call to serve. I imagine her suitcase to be full of all the tools she will need for her mission - the young women values, scriptures, etc.

Another Sneak Peek.....
I am anxiously awaiting "Santa Claus, All Year Long" Volume II to come back from the printer. I'm afraid that I was too slow getting the illustrations done. We are crossing our fingers that the books will get done before Christmas.
While we are waiting, I thought I'd tease you with a few more illustrations.... I hope you'll like them.

"I Know That My Savior Loves Me" Flip Chart
These are just a few pages of a flip chart for the song "I Know My Savior Loves Me" It was made using my illustrations by Noelle Wojciechowski. Give her a big THANKS because she has given me a link for all of you to download the entire flip chart!

I can assure you.
(Here I am looking attractive without any make up on!)
Dear chz2bhpy, I can assure you that I have personally created each image on this site myself. They do not belong to anybody else in any way. I offer them here freely as a service. There is no problem in using them. I am the artist, and I have given my permission for the public to download and use these images royalty free. While I am flattered that you would compare me to Mary Engelbreit, I don't believe that she is a member of the LDS church. Nor does she do illustrations from LDS scripture. Thank you for the compliment.

Whisper or Tell
(my daughter says this looks like she is signing the word "mother" in ASL. But it's really supposed to be whispering or telling. Her hand is up as if she's telling a secret.)
Some people like to make flip charts that show each word in the song. Others like to have a scene that shows the idea of the text. These illustrations are more for each word. They will most likely be part of the new chorister kit I'm working on for my Etsy shop. But I never know how long these projects will take me to do. So I thought I ought to at least post these since this is the song you all are teaching this month. -I'm late for that too, since it's already the middle of the month. But better late than never right?

Follow The Prophet (Sneak Peek)
I thought you might like to see some of the drawings I've been doing for "Follow The Prophet" These are the ones I've got so far. Some are easier to identify than others. Can you guess who they are? Also - Do you think there is a need for some of the modern prophets like Joseph Smith and President Monson?

A world where people are confused
As I drew these, I had in my head that they could be cut out and mounted on craft sticks for kids to hold while singing the song, but it occurred to me that you could also print them on cards and use them as a matching game too. Of course you can always use them to make a traditional flip chart too.
I made this kit for my Etsy shop, but I wanted it to be useful for all of you here on my blog without having to spend money. So, I've included the art for the first two verses and the last verse of the song since I know a lot of primaries only do those verses. I hope you'll enjoy it. Thanks for all the input on this project!

Jacob (Israel)
Jacob (Israel)
When I tried to put all the files for the "Follow The Prophet" clip art set onto Etsy, the files were too big. I had to cut something out, and Jacob ended up being it. I don't want anyone to miss out on him (if they want him) so, I'm posting him here for all to download and enjoy. He is a proud papa of those twelve sons! If you purchased the kit, I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

MORE "Follow The Prophet" clip art!
"Follow the Prophet" Book of Mormon Prophets
available in my Etsy shop
I had so many requests for Joseph Smith and Nephi that I decided I'd better do some more drawings. I didn't know there were extra verses, but I did a little google search and found The Lost Hymns Project. I wanted to do another kit as big as the first one, but I know there are a lot of Choristers needing Joseph Smith for tomorrow. I put what I've got into a little mini-kit. I will probably still do some more Book of Mormon prophets, and some modern prophets too, but it will take a while. In the meantime, I hope you'll enjoy this new kit.

Reverence Poster
Ready to Print Version
Fill-In-Your-Own-Language Version
Fill-In-Your-Own-Language-And-Color Version
I Love the great diversity in the church. It is so exciting to me when my artwork can bless people in places I may never have an opportunity to even visit. My favorite comment ever received here on this blog was a little message from Guatamala telling me that the Sister Missionaries there were using my art to set up a new primary full of kids who had never had the experience before. (!) I feel so blessed to have a very small part in that.
The problem with trying to create something for a world wide church is that it's difficult to account for every beautiful difference and situation in my art. Let's face it, I have lived my entire life in Utah. There is not a whole lot of diversity here. I even served my mission in New York. So I don't know any other languages either. I sincerely want my artwork to work for all of our heavenly father's children, but I'm limited in my ability to do that. That's why I've made a few different versions of this poster. One that is ready to print if you want it that way, One that you can write your own language on, and one that you can color if you'd like. Hopefully one of these versions will be useful to you in whatever way you need it.
This poster was created as 11x14 which is a standard print size at Costco, Sam's Club, etc. (I think it costs around $3) But you can always adjust the size bigger or smaller.

Singing Time Spin Wheel
I just added a new kit to my etsy shop. It's a spin wheel with ways to sing: fast, slow, loud, soft, etc. For the things that have a musical term those are included as well. If you are not the type to want to put a spin wheel together (I can never get them to spin smoothly!) They also come in cards that you can print on a regular 8.5x11 and cut out. They are long and skinny so you can stick them in a cup for kids to choose from.
This project is straight from the requests of all the choristers who left comments when I asked what they needed. I hope it fits the bill. :)
If you'd like to ENTER A DRAWING to WIN THIS KIT, leave a comment with your email address. I will choose a winner next Saturday March 21.
