Meet the Webers...Missionaries to Brazil!

2010-10-23T17:28:00.000-07:00

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Weber, missionaries to the wonderful country of Brazil. Their daughter, Elisabeth, contacted me about designing some business cards for them while they are in the states. I hear so many stories of miracles and wonders that are happening in Brazil and hope to visit one day. You can read more about the Webers and the great work they are doing here.

Peace in the Midst of the Storm

2010-03-29T16:47:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite signs. The inspiration came from the song "Psalm 18" by Clint Brown. I was in the Summit Choir and we were singing it for a church service when the idea came to me. "Peace in the midst of the troubled storm. Comfort and safety in Your arms. [You are] my everything."

Summit Five Year Anniversary

2010-03-01T19:51:00.001-08:00

This past weekend we celebrated five years of the Summit College & Career Ministry of the First Pentecostal Church. I have been looking forward to this for months. This ministry has had an amazing impact on my life, which is why it is so important to me. Chris Blakley, the group leader, even remarked, "I think Liz is the biggest Summit supporter around." Thank the Lord for the Summit and for its remarkable leadership.

Senior Ad–Before & After

2010-01-14T13:07:00.001-08:00

Winter Wonderland Decal

2010-01-04T14:07:00.000-08:00

This is a joint project between myself and Bro. Nathan. He did half and I did the other half. One of my favorite designs ever. We first used this for last years Winter Wonderland and kept it the same for this year. We figured there was no way that we could possibly beat the original design.

If you have never tried a Ding Dong cake from Two Sisters Catering, I suggest that you call the number on the card and order one! This is a promotional mailout I made for them. They requested a portion of the back to remain blank so that they could customize it for special offers.

New Gear

2009-04-26T13:35:00.000-07:00

Bro. Nathan called me in his office after service the other day. He had a surprise for me and told me not to look. Too late. I saw it out of the corner of my eye and jumped up and down and squealed like a kid at Christmas. I ran over to it to check it out and was so excited, I was almost to the point of tears. Yes, only me and Bro. Nathan would be so excited about a piece of fruit:)

One Year Ago!

2009-04-26T13:24:00.000-07:00

It was April 19, 2008. The sanctuary was packed with Apostolic youth from across America. The Mid-America Singspiration was underway. And then it happened. I was called to the platform, where Mikey came up behind me with roses (almost carnations)! The entire FPC youth department rushed to the edge of the platform screaming and cheering. I kept my eyes on Mikey, too afraid to look at my friends. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bro. Nathan pounding on the floor of the platform and yelling at Mikey to "Get on your knees! Get on your knees!" And so he did. A hush fell over the crowd as he asked me the all-important question, "Elizabeth...will you marry me?" Cheers erupted from the crowd as I accepted his offer and our friends swarmed us, hugging and laughing and crying. The guys high-fived Mikey and lifted him up on their shoulders like the champ that he is.

That was a year ago. On June 6, 2008, before God, family, friends, and, of course, the Summit, we vowed to love, honor, and cherish each other for as long as we live.

Life is good.

A Few Elevate Youth Fliers

2009-01-15T18:34:00.000-08:00

One of my responsibilities is to come up with a flier for each youth ministry at church. There are three youth groups: Elevate caters to students in grades 7 thru 9, Uplift is geared toward high school students from their sophomore year thru graduation, and then it is off to the Summit (College & Career, never married).

These are a few that I did for Elevate.
