Specifically, I'm serving with the Young Women, who are 12-18 years old. Many of the girls are bilingual, but some of them have only recently come to the US, and their English isn't great. One of the other leaders is a non-Spanish speaker, so we have a rule: "Speak in the language of your heart". Everyone helps everyone else figure out what is being said, and it works for us.
The room we meet in doesn't have the Young Women's Theme posted in Spanish. We just hand out little cards each week for those of us who don't have it memorized. I hunted around for a design to print out, but finding resources in Spanish is tough, and I needed to make sure I could actually read the fonts from across the room. So I made a poster to put up. I was inspired by this poster by Kendra at key lime digital designs. So cute!
The background papers and floral elements are from PixelScrapper, which has awesome resources anyone can use. The fonts were all free, too, from FontSquirrel and 1001FreeFonts. I'm way too interested in fonts, so it takes me forever to choose. That was by far the most time consuming part of this whole thing!
I also made posters for the 2018 Mutual Theme, "Peace in Christ". The poster we had last year was a piece of copy paper with the scripture verse on it, and I think we can do better!
All the posters are 16x20. I was pricing out printing + frames, and, wow!, it got expensive quickly. So instead, I found a Groupon deal for 16x20 canvases. I bought mine from CanvasOnSale. I've used that company before for family pictures, and I love the canvases! They have really good deals on large sizes.
I'm so excited to hang these beautiful canvases in our room at church! Maybe I'll be able to keep up when the girls recite it!
