If you're a YW leader, you might relate to this. I tend to get phone calls Wednesday afternoons and evenings before the YW activity, asking: "What are we doing tonight?" (the activity announcement on Sunday apparently doesn't cut it)
We started making newsletters for Young Womens last year to help our girls/their parents, the bishopric and us as leaders to keep track of activities, events, and other fun stuff (this has cut down on those Wednesday night phone calls & texts).
Although I wanted the newsletters to be creative and different each time, I didn't want to spend all sorts of time coming up with a new format each time! I created a basic template and tweek it each time with different digital papers, embellishments, and sometimes a slightly different arrangement.
Here are the last few newsletters based on the same template...





We don't have many girls, so it's not too costly for us to print them at Kinkos so each girl can have a colorful newsletter to take home.
Here's the template I use:

...and you can download the Photoshop Template HERE

awesome templates for the newsletter!
ReplyDeleteWhich digital site do you get all these cute paper from?
ReplyDeleteBecky, I download freebies from http://digifree.craftcrave.com/. (I check it pretty much every day and keep a external hard drive organized with all the papers and embellishments I download).
DeleteI love this and want to start using it for my YW. What program do you use to edit the template?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I was actually looking to create one of these and came across yours! Thank you so much for being willing to share the template... you have saved me so much time!
ReplyDeleteAny chance one could buy your already made newsletters. I can't find the paper you used and LOVE the combinations you used. Thanks
