Jesus is Risen


He Is Risen
 
I don't usually draw pictures of the Savior.  It is intimidating to me to try to do justice to the God that I have such strong and sacred feelings about.  As I was drawing this one, I kept thinking about the infinite love that He has for all of us, and how much that love has to do with our imperfection.  (What use would the atonement be if any of us were perfect? He would have suffered and died in vain!) So I decided that maybe it's okay for me to draw Him even if it isn't 'perfect'.  He will love me and my drawing anyway.


*The General Primary Presidency discourages against using 'cartoon-like' images of the Savior in primary.  I believe it is because it is important for children to know that Jesus Christ is a real person, and not just a character from a book or on tv.

I have a secret to tell.....

It's not really a secret, but it sounds so much more exciting that way doesn't it? It's actually some big news.  I am illustrating a book of stories.  I can't tell you much about it, but I can say that it will be wonderful AND it will be ready for gift giving by Christmas of 2013! 

It's going to be self published by the author, so if you think you may be interested in knowing about this book - when it's finished, how to get it, etc. Please leave a comment on this post to help me gauge how many to print.  Thanks for looking!

Primary Assignment Cards, version 2

 Our Primary has decided to include the articles of faith in our opening exercises, so I made new assignment cards.  You can download the entire sheet, or just the separate clip art if you'd like to design your own.

Scouts & Activity Days

 I've been working more on the baptism preparation booklet for our ward.  These are a few images I've come up with.  These two are showing that eight year old boys and girls get to start scouts, activity days, and begin working on their Faith In God awards.

Reverence Badges

 Encourage reverence in primary with these cute reward badges! Just cut them out and pin them on, or punch a hole in the top and make a yarn necklace.
