St. Philomena Block Print, Prayer Cards, and Coloring Page

Last summer I made this little print to celebrate the Feast Day of St. Philomena which is coming up on August 11th. We know so little of her life, but because of her holy martyr’s death, we remember and honor her still today. Philomena is the patron Saint of my school and her feast day is also my baptism anniversary- which I see as a little hint that maybe she’s been praying for me longer than I ever realized. ❤️⚓️🌿

This block carving was first time I’ve made a multi color print using a puzzle technique. Here's a link to watch a process video making the print, and copies of the print are available to you below!

Catholic Bulletin Board Collection

Of all the things that I have posted here on the blog and social media over the years, the one topic remains consistently the most popular is bulletin boards. I happen to find them an enjoyable creative outlet, but I know that they are not exactly everyone's favorite task :)

I've gotten better about taking more photos of bulletin boards and creating displays that are more easily replicated, as well as designing printables for you. I have more bulletin boards and displays shared on Instagram, and here on the blog you can find posts under this tag, but decided to do a quick round up post to help during back to school season!
