Hi! I’m Heather. I’m a mom, a blogger, and a graphic designer. I am happy to contribute a post for the Family Celebration. I love the Proclamation, but my house is a bit funky and modern and the available version didn’t fit very well with the rest of my decor. I wanted to create something that I could frame that would fit in with the rest of our crazy belongings. So, a few years ago, I designed one for myself. Same exact text- just laid out a bit different. I have a few different versions on my blog, The Modern Hive. I originally made it 12×12 for digital scrapbooking and then created a 8.5×11 version as well. I discovered that although I like that size, I wanted a smaller version to hang up in a different color. So, this celebration is the perfect reason for a re-do! The new version chocolate brown -a shout out to Chocolate on my Cranium 🙂 and sized to fit an 8×10 frame.
I love to create. My memories of childhood are filled with making things. I was always working on some sort of project- and then sometimes trying to sell them to my poor neighbors. I have a passion for vintage goods, simple design, and love to re-mix old stuff into new things. I love giving thrifted things new life. I try to be health conscious & earth friendly and have vowed to own chickens some day. I am a mom, a wife, and work from my home studio along side my kids who love to make art messes as much as I do.

Love it, thanks for sharing!
Good stuff!!
This is great!
It’s the amazing gift we’ve been given to learn to create as well as to procreate. Take something that’s already in existence and make anew. Wow! does this fit the theme or what?
I love how you have highlighted some of the key parts of the proclamation. I love it thanks for sharing and being a part of celebrating family
I am excited every morning to check out Jocelyn and Your site It’s been great I have been striving to blog about family too Today My post is called I Love My Husband http://mariemakeandmend.blogspot.com/
Thank you for sharing your words with us. I enjoyed reading a bit of your blog too. I create things digitally also and I never even thought of re-creating the Proclamation in a different style. Oh the possibilities are endless! Thank you!
Thanks you for sharing. I love how you highlight important parts of the proclamation and they just popped out!!
Oh! I am excited to go download this. My daughters room is brown and pink. It would go perfect in there!
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I am going to read your blog now… 🙂
Cool, I never thought of changing up the Proclamation’s layout! This will work so much better for my house. Thank goodness for the internet and other people’s genius.
Thank you so much for the free download. I love the new format…I’m ready to change things up as we move to a new home!

Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea! I will definitely be using this.
That would be perfect in my living room.
I love the proclamation download and very cool prizes! thanks for the inspiration!
What a great idea!
That’s fun. For over a year, I’ve been trying to find a way have the Proclamation make a statement in our home so that no one will question what I believe about family. I hope that what is in my head will come out as lovely as this has.
I like how you have changed the Proclamation to fit the decorating needs of the home. I don’t really have a style, so the original works for me.
Sorry posts hubby’s name.
yep, gonna use it…thanks!
now i’m hopping on over to check out your creations 🙂
I love this family proclamation. I had made one very similar to this but I am liking this one better, It will be hanging on my wall very soon.
Thanks for sharing, Heather. This is great!
What a great idea. It looks wonderful. BTW, would you like to come design my home? We may need it after Earl finishes with us tomorrow!
Love the idea of the Family Proclamation with highlighted portions.
I will never forget when it was introduced in the Relief Society General Meeting.
This is great. Thank you.
Very Cute! Thanks for sharing
Great idea. I’m filing this for when I decorate my house when I move.
Thanks so much. I just did a border to fit around this and I think your text will be great for it.
I think anyway we are able to implement The Proclamation into our home andinto our family is wonderful! We are blessed that so many women can share how they make it work in their families! I have bought an extra Personal Progress book and cut out the page that has both The Proclamation and The Living Christ and pasted it into my scriptures. I am free to mark it up and write thoughts and cross references in the margins because they are a part of my scriptures!
You are super talented! Thank you so much!! I can’t wait to print and frame it.
