LWML resources- Collaborative Work

The LWML- Lutheran Women's Missionary League- just posted their first FREE printable coloring resources. It’s a collaborative process, with reviews and approvals by LWML leaders and pastoral counselors, to provide visual faith and creative craft resources.

The proposal for the first set came from Eden Keefe, Vice President of Christian Life, and included the featured verses, sizes, and formats (notecards 4/page and four narrow versions for use as bookmarks or Bible margins). 

Then the graphic designer added the visual elements and put it in the final format. Melissa Merker, LWML Graphics Team Coordinator, designed this set.

Melissa, would you tell us your process for putting together the visual elements for these resources? Are they computer generated?

“Yes, they are computer generated. They are patterns found on stock photography sites using vector graphics. I edited a bit but not much. I used the frames to highlight the verses and the LWML logo. I wanted the words to be the center piece of the design.”

Once Melissa finished the design layout both resources were sent for final approval and then placed on the LWML website. The FREE printables are available here:

They are being promoted through social media. We would love to see how you have colored them and learn how you will use them!
