Youth Group Waffle Bar Date Night

Amanda {Burlap & Denim} — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:33:08 +0000

Recently our church youth group held a group date with a waffle bar. I was lucky enough to be a part of it so I'll share how it all went down so you can recreate this really fun date night for any age. We started with long tables covered in brown craft paper. Then decorated the area around with some fabric pennants that I had made for another event. Then we placed four waffle irons on the paper and all the toppings. One of the young women wrote with a black sharpie instructions and labeled the syrups and toppings. Long tables were set up in a U shape. We found these to work better than rounds since everyone was closer together and their dates sat right across from them. The tables were also covered with brown craft paper and simple mason jars and flowers were added for decor. Groups of sharpies of all colors Read more [...]

Printable Baptism Programs

Amanda {Burlap & Denim} — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 20:20:14 +0000

This last weekend my third son Sam was baptized. It was a very sweet and exciting day for all of us. He couldn't wait to turn 8 and was beaming the entire day. Since this is my third son's baptism, and I served in our Primary as the secretary for a few years, I have made pleanty of baptism programs. I thought I'd share this simple layout that you can print yourself. I started out by having three programs to a single sheet of cardstock (or paper). I selected a simple image of Jesus and John the Baptist and fit it across the bottom. With a brown border and blue "Californian FB" font (which you probably already have) things are clean and focused on the baptism, not the child. I printed them on my home ink jet printer on some pearl card stock that my mother in law gifted me. I love the soft iridescent shine Read more [...]

Girl On Fire {2013 YW Bulletin Board}

Amanda {Burlap & Denim} — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 20:15:34 +0000

While hunting around on Pinterest, I found a great site called "Better than we Deserve" where Ramona made "Girl on Fire" t-shirts for YW camp. I loved the idea of merging pop culture (The Hunger Games books) and the gospel. I think it grabs the girls interests and transforms it into a new way of looking at the world. Anyway, I took Ramona's idea and turned it into our bulletin board for 2013. You probably recognize the logo in the center, it is the Young Woman torch that has been around forever. I also found a pin on Pinterest that called the logo "The Original Girl on Fire". Below the torch are matches or what I call fire starters. The Young Women are on fire with the Holy Ghost and the matches are ways they can start their fire or keep it burning strong and bright. All of the values are listed as well as a Read more [...]

2012 Young Women in Excellence: Arise and Shine Forth invitation and program

Amanda {Burlap & Denim} — Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:39:58 +0000

It is that time again for Young Women in Excellence. I've come up with a simple invitation and program I'm sharing here. It all started when my friend Belinda from Belinda's Great Ideas came up with a great Arise and Shine Forth logo that I used for my invitations and program {check out her amazing talents HERE}. Below is the invitation, laid out four to a page (Download the Publisher file HERE). My mother in law saved some paper scraps from her job at a printing press and I ran these through my printer on "draft" to save ink. Because they are black and white, you could also run them off the copier at your ward's library. Here is the program we will be using (download the Publisher file HERE). Because of the donated paper, I made the program two to a regular sheet of paper. The program is also going to be Read more [...]
