As promised the 2016 "Thank You" printable is here. It just had to stay under wraps until after Thanksgiving. This year I teamed up with Mormon.org to create a printable in-line with their #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign. Scroll to the bottom if you want to just download the freebie. I'm about to talk religion for a hot second.
I'm a Mormon. I keep it incognito most of the time, but I am a practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We're Christians, and this time of year I feel so much kinship with other Christian religions as we celebrate the core of our faith: Jesus Christ. This is one of the seasons of year where I readjust my focus and try to be just a little bit better. A little bit kinder. A little more Christ-like. Because, baby steps. right?
I'm passionate about gratitude. I love writing out Thank You cards to friends and family. I love sending out snail mail!! It's a favorite of mine. So I've created a printable Thank You suite for the whole family.
The first (from left, see above) is a fold-over card for grown ups and longer sentiments. The middle is a guided card for younger writers, giving them only a little bit of space to write something. Even a couple of words. The third (which could be use for a short Thank You) is designed for emerging writers, encouraging a child to just make a mark. A picture or a scribble allows him/her to take ownership of the sentiment.
Included in the Thank You set is a printable envelope. Print, cut and tape together. It's pretty quick. If I have time, I'll send the Silhouette Studio file here so you can cut it with your Silhouette machine.
Last, but not least, I painted and lettered a phrase from D+C 59:7 (some of our modern scripture). I hope that if you're not of my same faith, you might find this reminder encouraging to get on your knees and give thanks to Him.
I hope you use this printable!! It's a real pleasure to make these designs and publish them out to the world. I love seeing them in real-life situations, too. If you use it, tag me (@melissapher) so I can see how you've incorporated it into your Christmas.
