I’m so surprised and grateful for the enormous response I’ve gotten from the posters I created just 6 months ago featuring Disney Princesses. They’ve been viewed by countless young women around the world, and I hope that they’ve been enjoyable and inspiring. I was recently looking them over, and felt the need to update them a little—and here’s the finished product! The design is essentially the same. They’re slightly larger (11×14, 100dpi), have higher quality princess images, and some have had their quotes switched, or at least modified. I’m really happy with how they turned out, and hopefully they can reach even further than their predecessors.
Recreating these also prompted me to get started on more Princess themed resources that would be especially helpful for activities such as New Beginnings, Young Women in Excellence, and Girls Camp—so keep an eye out.
To keep things simple for me, they can only be downloaded in one .zip file which contains all 13 images in JPG format.
I will NOT be offering custom sizes due to the demand that has previously placed on me. Luckily with the larger dimensions, they can still be adjusted in size and retain decent quality.
I love the countless examples of women in the scriptures. Many claim that there aren’t enough women in the scriptures, and while their claims are certainly valid, I see so much depth in the few portraits of women we have the privilege of finding in our scriptures.
Quite a few have seen my series of value posters with Disney Princesses, and several people have mentioned that they would love to see value posters pulling role models from the scriptures. The idea excited me, as it was in fact directly correlated with a project I’ve been working on for the past several months, and so I focused my personal study on seeking out the righteous examples we’ve been given in scripture and finding the values they emulate.
As a disclaimer in advance, I do not own the copyright to any of the paintings used. These posters are only for non-commercial home and church use. I make no profit whatsoever from these posters. I did my best to search the copyright of the individual paintings to see that I would be able to use these images for this small, non-profit project. That being said, I found each one of these paintings to beautifully reflect the divine spirits depicted in the scriptures of each of these women.
Each poster is available as a JPG file, and the set can be downloaded as PDFs. They are only intended to be printed 8.5 x 11, or smaller.

I recently saw a post on By Common Consent where a Church member had created some alternate Young Women posters with quotes from a variety of different female leaders. I liked the idea — a lot — and I appreciated her thoughts on the cute-ifying of YW activities. However, I was disappointed that of the 16 posters, only 5 had quotes from LDS women. I’m sometimes annoyed when we behave…

The Young Women theme provides a foundation for helping each young woman accomplish the objectives of the Young Women Organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Girls and their adult leaders repeat the theme at the beginning of Sunday meetings and at other gatherings. Leaders should remember to help new Beehives memorize the theme by providing bookmarks or posters from the items available from Distribution, or by printing…

Our personal progress classroom temple banners fit on four pages or less. I created them to be used at New beginnings or when you are focusing on a particular value during the month; however, you’ll find lots of uses for them at camp and other activities, I’m sure. Simply print out the pages, align the overlap, and tape for a beautiful classroom poster! Enjoy! Sample image:
As of late, I have become ga ga for vintage floral patterns. There is something just pretty and sweet about them. I decided to create the YW values with pretty florals. I plan on printing them off (enlarged copies) and posting them in the YW room for decoration. Feel free to use in your young womens and share!

We did a Wizard of Oz “there’s no place like our Heavenly Home” themed Young Women in Excellence program. We used hot air balloon centerpieces, flying monkey placemats, melted witch cupcakes and punch, ding dongs, and a rainbow of fruit. We used tissue paper pompoms in rainbow colors above the values for the Personal Progress projects, with a yellow brick road, etc. My blog has more details: http://holidaysnobs.blogspot.com/2011/11/wizard-of-oz-party-for-young-wo…
This subway art card is based on my Young Women Subway Art Theme Posters. These cards use a low volume of ink and have a little spot color in the values.

You’ll see a sample card I printed in the image below. I printed…

I created these files to make some 6×6 inch display cards for a Christmas gift I made for the YW leaders I serve with. They have each of the young women values with the corresponding scripture and motto. I don’t suggest that you actually use the JPG versions of these files. They’re just here for reference, or you might cut them up and use them to make something that fits…
