This month the Relief Society message for our church is Self-Reliance.
I really like this quote by Elder Hales about the purpose of both temporal and spiritual self-reliance. Here is the printable for this month:
This is the blank one for those of you that would like to translate the message, or if you just want a cute blank card…here you go!
These are formatted to a 4 x6 size, so you can simply print your own, or send to your favorite photo processing center.
I also made a cute oversized tag to go with this month’s handout! I am just loving this fun graphic kit from Just So Scrappy, this is the new “It’s Almost Fall” kit.
These are formatted on an 8.5 x 11 page, so that you can simply print and cut out!
I made a “Fall Sweet and Salty Mix” (I will share the recipe next week!) put it in a cellophane bag and put it in this cute berry basket that I found at our local party store! Then I simply tied it up with a couple of ribbons, added the tag and I was done!
Happy Visiting this Month! Love Ya!
You are welcome to share these printable with others but please remember that all of my printables are for personal use only!
Keep in touch…Follow on Facebook and Pinterest!
I am off this weekend to my favorite boutique of the whole year…Swiss Days! It is about the only event that I can say the crowds don’t bother me! I usually will avoid crowds at all costs, but I seem to forget about the crowd when I am in this craft heaven! :)
Thank you Rita, for this great VT set! It is so helpful to get these handouts and recipes to share with our sisters. I look forward to the sweet and salty recipe to finish this month’s treats!! Thank you again Ü Merry
These little owl cards are adorable! I would love to use the gift tag for my cousin’s baby shower gift (she is doing an owl/woodland creature nursery), will you be making a blank template in the future? Thanks, Kelly
I usually cannot fill all the requests that I get for my printables, but I will put a blank version of these tags out soon! Good luck with the baby shower gift.
Thank you once again.
Thank you so much for the blanks and the best wishes!
What a cute handout. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your talent!!

What a very thoughtful gift idea!
Thanks again for joining the Link Up this week!
Wow, I cannot believe the wonderful talents of the sisters. Thankyou for sharing yours with us. I am moving to New Zealand to be with our daughter and she is a counselor in her Stake Relief Society. I will certainly share your talent with her.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! How nice that you get to be with your daughter in New Zealand! Thanks for you sweet support and good luck in your endeavors.
Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas for handouts! I use them almost every month and the ladies love them! You are so very talented!
Thank you for your kind comment and for your support, I appreciate both! It always makes my day when someone says that they use one of my ideas!
I stumbled upon your website for the first time via the LDSPlan app for visiting teaching. What a wonderful treasure of ideas, handouts and goodies!! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent and, if it’s okay, I’m gonna brag about you to the sisters in my ward. Mahalo!
Oh, thank you so much for your kind words and your support! I would love for you to share my blog with the sisters in your ward! Have a great day! Rita
Saw this through The Dedicated House, and I love it! I can’t wait to send these to my ladies. =]
Thank you for your kind comment, it always makes my day when someone says that they can use one of my ideas, so thanks for making my day! :) Rita
Thank you for your VT messages. I LOVE THEM! Thank you for freely sharing your talent! It is very much appreciated by this very not creative person (lol lol) P.S. Will you be putting out the recipe soon???
I posted the recipe for the Fall Sweet and Salty mix, but you can also find it here: http://pinkpolkadotcreations.com/2013/09/03/fall-sweet-salty-mix/
Oh Rita, you are the answer to my prayers! I want so badly to be able to come up with creative, cute ideas, but being creative is not one of my gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with all of us.
Sue, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and for your kind message! I love hearing from my readers and it makes my day to know that you can use one of my ideas! Have a great day.
Hi Rita,
I LOVE the beautiful and fun VT handouts you do every month! This month is no exception…LOVE it! My sisters I visit think I am amazing, but I always tell them that it is you that is amazing with all your talent sharing your gift with the rest of us. I love that you have your website right on the handout. I know that they have all checked you out! Also, I really appreciate the blank ones too. I actually used the one last month for a handout for my RS lesson. The sisters loved it and took all my extras for sisters that weren’t there.
Thanks so much for all you do! I am a regular visiter on your site and am sorry I haven’t commented sooner. I actually found you about a year or so ago!
Peggy
Peggy,

Rita
Once again you are amazing!I love this visiting teaching handout! I look so forward to your monthly VT ideas. The sisters I teach love them too. Thanks Rita for sharing your amazing talents with us!!! <3
I can across your website and visiting teaching printouts and gift ideas. These are amazing. I always appreciate those who share their talents. I have been wanting to craft and not knowing what to do. Now I can feel crafty and it has gotten me excited about my visiting teaching again. Big Thank u.
Thank you so much for visiting today! I am so glad that you can use one of my ideas for visiting teaching and I am really happy that it has gotten you excited about visiting again! Thanks for making my day! :)
Rita
How do we download these adorable handouts.
Thanks!
Just right click over the image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder, you can print them from there. You can print your own, or you can send it to your favorite photo processing center to be printed as a 4 x 6 photo. You can also right click over the image and go to “copy image” then you open your favorite program like Word or Presentations, right click again and go to paste. I hope this helps.
Rita
Hi Rita,
Thank you so much for sharing your talents. I can’t wait to visit my sisters this month.

Love Eileen Hallam England
Eileen, thank you so much for taking the time to comment, I love hearing from my readers and it always makes my day to know that someone can use one of my ideas, so thank you so much! :) Have a great day!
Rita
Thank you! XXOO
You are welcome!
Lovely handout! Thank you so much for sharing.
You are welcome, thanks for taking the time to comment, I love hearing from you.
I was just wondering what program you use to make your beautiful handouts. I love the autumn leaf paper on this and want to use it for a wedding invitation, but I can’t find it or anything like it anywhere. Please help or send me to where I can purchase the package!
Thanks!
Nicole, I use Scrapbook Max and Silhouette programs to design most of my printables. But I purchased my images from Just So Scrappy, this is the “It’s Almost Fall” kit. Hope this helps. I have a CU license to use these on my blog. You can purchase your own for personal use. Hope this helps.
Rita
Hey Rita,
I am wanting to print these pictures that have the quote from Robert D Hales out for my lesson on sunday but i am having a hard time removing the Sept 2013 off do you have any suggestions?
Brooke, You could put a text box over the top of the Sept. 2013 and add a color to the background, so that it completely covers the writing. You cannot remove things, but you can add to it. If you know how to use photo shop, you could also fix it by using one of the fix it tools. Hope this helps.
