Free Inspiration Printable

Hello lovelies! I have great news today! After numerous interviews and applications, I finally have a job! I have been going to grad school online, blogging, and learning how to be married, but I have wanted a job to help make friends in Las Vegas and to save up for a house so Cliff and I can one day have a family! Cliff can totally support our family without my help, but I want to get out there and constantly be doing what I can to help as well.

I have had a hard time finding my job since I am still in school. I felt overqualified for some jobs and I didn't have enough experience for others. Honestly, job hunting is one of the worst things! I don't wish it upon anyone. It is easy to get discouraged, especially after getting turned down time after time and all that stares you in the face when you get home is a giant job application to fill out.

I received a call today at around noon letting me know I got a job!

During the LDS General Conference this weekend (if you aren't sure what it is, check out this site http://www.lds.org/), I was inspired especially by a poem President Thomas S. Monson quoted in his talk. I thought I would create a printable to put in a frame on my desk to look at every day. I then thought, why not share it with my awesome followers?? So here you go...

This is like my new motto of my life. I know I have faced some hardships in my life, but I know I would not be the woman I am today without a few trials. To know happiness, I have to know sadness. 

Download it, print it, and put it somewhere special! If you watched GC did you have any favorite quotes?? I am thinking of making some more printables. I would love to make a custom printable for any of you!

Make your Own Printable

Cliff and I had such a good weekend at my best friends wedding at the St. George Temple. There were so many cute things that inspired me to do more projects.

The first item I loved was a printable. I talked with the bride and she told me it was about $20 to buy the printable and then additional costs to print it off and buy a frame. Since I am a total cheapskate, I took a picture of the printable I loved and set off today to make a similar version for FREE. 

So here is a picture of what was on a table at Taylor's wedding reception. It's not the best angle of the picture since I mainly wanted a close up of the fonts and style. 

So here is my finished product. 

I think it turned out pretty nicely. Printable's can really add character and personality to your home. I suggest adding things that make you smile and remember happy times or inspire you. To find similar fonts that the original created, I went to some free font sites including dafont.com. If you are sick of the fonts on your computer, you may spend hours downloading free fonts to use. You can use these fonts in any program on your computer after they are downloaded. 

A simple way to recreate this printable without any fancy programs would be to make it just in a Word document. Type what you like, and play around with the fonts until it looks just how you like it. I personally used Adobe Illustrator, but any program that uses text would work perfectly. 

I plan on putting this in a photo collage in my living room. I will put up pictures when it's complete! 

Let me know what you think!
