Candy Cane Poem Bookmarks

2008-12-06T07:55:00.007-07:00

If you're looking for a cute, simple gift idea for teachers, students, or whomever, have I got something for you. I wrote this little poem about the symbolism of the Christmas candy cane.

The Symbolism of the Candy Cane
by Alana Lee
Turned upside down, the cane makes a “J”
for Jesus who was born on Christmas Day.
Turn it upright like the Good Shepherd’s staff
Who pleads to the Father on your behalf.
At the top you’ll see the saving crook,
Used on the lost sheep He never forsook.
The stripes whisper softly “By his stripes we are healed.”
And the red represents His blood that was spilled.
The white gives us hope to become pure as He,
by forsaking our sins, white as snow they will be.
The peppermint oil that flavors this treat,
is known for its strong healing properties.
Now each time you see the striped candy cane,
Remember, dear child, He calls out your name.

Just click on the image above and print it. Each poem should have a 1/4" border around the outside of the red box.

Feel free to use the text of the poem.

Make the Candy Cane poems in into festive bookmarks! They are great for punching a hole, tying some ribbon, and attaching to a candy cane. Please Note: Don't trim the top and bottom edges so that you can punch a hole and tie it at the top (only trim edges on right and left).

Just click here for 5 per page or here for 8 per page to download the file and print. (I originally posted jpegs, but they weren't good enough quality for printing.)

Christmas Count-Down Sticker Calendar

2008-11-21T22:02:00.005-07:00

Here is a fun way to help your child count down the days until Christmas. Your child will enjoy being able to place a sticker on the right ornament each day.

I just buy the sticker books in the school/craft section of Walmart and they fit the circles nicely. Or you could let your child cut out some construction paper ornaments to place over the numbers, or even just color in the circles with a crayon. (Just click on the image to view it full size and then print.)

Merry Christmas!

Sticker Reward Charts

2008-11-19T22:03:00.008-07:00

If you need a sticker chart to help your youngster develop good habits by doing chores, getting potty trained, staying in their room at night, etc., you'll love these FREE sticker charts. The black and white charts have spaces where you can write the task or goal.

If you would like a custom chart ($2.00 ea--you can print it again and again and again), please email me at: alanaleedesigns(at)gmail(dot)com. (I'll send you a PayPal invoice and we'll go from there. No PayPal account or registration necessary.)

Learn to Read a Clock

2008-11-08T13:31:00.005-07:00

If you need a practice clock to help your child learn to tell time, choose from the pink, blue, or generic clocks below. Simply click on the image to enlarge it and either save as or print. Then cut on the dotted line, cut out the hands, and affix clock hands in center of clock with a brad. Now practice, practice, practice.

I originally designed this so my kids would know when their "timed" quiet time was up, so they don't come out every 15 minutes and yell downstairs, "Is quiet-time over yet?"

Clean Room Charts

2008-11-08T00:34:00.010-07:00

If you have a hard time getting your child to clean their bedroom, you need these charts.

Often children either need a lot of help and direction when cleaning or claim they can't clean by themselves because they don't know how. Most likely, they just don't know how to start cleaning. These charts are the perfect help by making cleaning bedrooms fun! Just turn cleaning into a game with these "Clean Room" charts.

Let your child choose which chart to use each time they need to clean their room. (Feel free to click on the images to view them full size, and then print.)

If you would like the high-resolution six-chart file, it's just $4.95 and includes the following "Start Cleaning" charts: shapes, colors, categories, places to put things, what things are used for, as well as "The Clean Room Chart." And if you would like a custom "The Clean Room Chart" with your child's name on it, it's just $4.95 (customized for boy or girl; see last example below).

I'll email you the files once I receive payment confirmation, and you can print, color, and laminate if you wish. Your child will have more invested in this method if allowed to color some of the charts.

Looking for quiet activities to keep your toddler and young children busy? These are sure to do the trick!

Perfect for entertaining your kids: on road trips, during church meetings, in waiting rooms, in hotel rooms, during nap time or quiet time, or anytime you need some peace and quiet.

Introducing 11 Quiet Activities & Puzzles accented with exciting colors teach your children creativity and problem solving!

Harmonizes left-brain and right-brain, turning them into better students with better grades.
Entertains them in a skill-building, proactive way, as opposed to the spectator sport of TV and mindless movies.
Children constructively occupied have a lot less time and inclination to disobey...which sure makes being a mom a lot more enjoyable.
Gives children a head start and competitive edge when they start school.

Given the choice, wouldn't you rather have a child who enjoys entertaining themselves by doing things that develop their brain, creativity and eye-hand coordination...than to always be providing spectator entertainment that leaves them without any sense of accomplishment or self-worth?

I offer 11 different Quiet Activities and Puzzles that may be purchased separately for $1.50 each, or altogether for only $6.95! (You save over $9.00!)

I email you the file(s), and you print the pages on a color printer and assemble. Simply slip the main activity/puzzle page into a heavy sheet protector, laminate the small pieces with contac paper and cut out, and use velcro or doubles-sided tape to make the pieces stick. When the smaller pieces are not in use, I just slide them into an envelope and slide the envelope into the sheet protector. If you have any questions, please email me.

Dear Santa Letter

2008-06-18T16:03:00.000-06:00

Every young child yearns to write Santa a wish list every year. This traceable "Dear Santa" letter makes it a cinch for children not yet able to read and write.

Just give your child a pencil and some crayons and let them trace away! There are a few possibilities for filling in the wish list area:

You can help your child spell the name of the items they want,
Your child can draw pictures of the presents, or
Your child can cut pictures out of ads or catalogs and glue them in place.

Once your child is done, he or she can color the gingerbread man as a present for Santa. Just click on the image to the right and print. Happy tracing!

Paper-Chain Families

2008-06-18T16:01:00.000-06:00

My kids have fallen in love with decorating paper people holding hands. I call them paper families. It's real simple. Just click on the image to view the full size. Now right click and save as.

Print. Fold in half lengthwise first.

Now fold into quarters. Cut along image (careful not to cut the folds where the arms and legs are connected).

Hint: the image is the 2nd of 4 in a row. You'll have two sets of four when you're done.

Voila. Simple and fun.

Reward & Obedience Chart

2008-06-18T16:00:00.005-06:00

Here are the two reward charts I designed to use with my children. The first one is a "3 Strikes, You're Out" chart that I put on the fridge, one for each child. I use buttons hot-glued to magnets. Each day this slate is wiped clean and they start with three smiley faces. Each time they commit a major No-No, they lose a smiley face and a frowny face appears. If they ever get 3 Strikes, they lose all of the rewards in the Obedience Chart shown in picture #3.

It's easy as pie to make your own "3 Strikes" chart. I used Wingdings font at 88 pts. Click on image #2 to see the actual size (you can even print this one if you'd like). I chose to mount the faces on some cute scrapbooking paper and then laminated it using con-tact paper or packing tape. Voila!

• • • • • • •

My other favorite is the Obedience Chart. I have one for each child mounted on the fridge. This chart allows the child to accumulate rewards to be redeemed, or to have rewards put in time-out for naughty behavior--they have to earn it back. I found that my most difficult child doesn't like when her favorite Characters get put in a time out.

Each chart has two box-pockets: one for storing un-earned rewards, and one for taking away rewards. (Or both boxes can be used for storing un-earned rewards. That's what I do now.) Each chart also has two clear pockets to show off rewards once they are earned (made from packing tape or con-tact paper).

Each time they do something right (like obeying the first time they're asked to do something, or taking a nap, or saying something kind), they "earn" a reward. I take one of the Characters and put it in the clear pockets to show off.

If they act out, misbehave, refuse to cooperate, forget chores, etc., I simply say, "What a bummer" or "That's sad" and remove however many rewards I deem appropriate.

Now, the cool thing about this chart is they can redeem awards that they've earned for computer games, special craft projects, having a friend over, watching a movie, eating a special treat, etc. This is a great way for parents to implement a reward system that helps keep both them and the child accountable. I've recently been giving them a dollar for each 10 rewards that they earn and it is working very well (I even have dollar rewards in the file).

The top two images to the left are included in the generic file. The bottom two images are examples of custom reward charts.

If you would like me to design a custom Obedience Chart for your child, click here to email me a Custom Request Form (or here to view the Custom Request Form). A normal custom chart is $2.50 (meaning it has your child's name and choice of three colors as well as THREE pages of rewards). Click "Add to Cart" to get started!

Special design requests and additional characters will be extra and you'll receive a Paypal invoice via email. Please allow 2-4 business days for your file once I receive payment confirmation.

I'll email you the files and you can print, laminate (using clear con-tact paper, packing tape, or heat lamination), and assemble it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

2008-06-17T12:34:00.026-06:00

Disclaimer: I specialize in digital files only. I do not print or ship any products. The customer is responsible for all printing costs.

Q: What portion of your products is customizable?
A: ALL text on invitations, thank yous, welcome posters, etc. is customizable. Just specify in your custom request email the text you want. Freebies are not customizable. Most of the educational products allow for some customization.

Q: How many Custom Photo Invitations (or thank yous) do I receive with my order?
A: As many as you want to print or have printed yourself. Remember, when you buy anything from my web site, you are purchasing the electronic/digital FILE only--the purchase price covers just the design/personalization fee. (I do NOT do any shipping or printing.) You then print the file yourself or have it printed at a photo center--as many copies as you like for as little as $.13 each. For more information on printing files, read through the rest of the FAQs.

My customers are consistently thrilled with the quality of their invitations (as well as the recipients). The great thing is that as soon as you receive your digital file, you can get your prints made and you're not waiting on a mailman.

(My favorite is Costco.com and they charge $.13 per print and it's done in one hour.)

Q: When do I receive my product files?
A: Once you add your chosen products to your cart and check out, I'll receive a payment confirmation. As soon as I receive payment confirmation (and customization email, if required), the file(s) will be sent to your email box within 24-48 hours (usually the same day). Please add my email address to your address book to make sure my emails don't get sent to your SPAM filter.

Q: What envelopes should I use to send my 4x6 photo invitations?

A: (Envelopes are obviously not included with your order.) You have a few options. If you can find some A-6 sized envelopes, those are the perfect size. You can find those in the cardmaking aisle at Michael's craft store--20 for around $6 (if you can use a 40% off coupon, it's a really good deal). You can also find A-6 envelopes at many Stationary stores (the ones online average about $10 for 50 +s/h). If you can't find A-6 envelopes, you can use #10 envelopes. To dress up the #10s, buy them in pastels or in the open-end or catalog style (the opening is on one of the short ends).

Q: What are Custom Photo Invitations and what are the instructions?
A: Here's what you need to know if you're planning on purchasing my Custom Invitations, also known as photo invitations (because they are printed on photo paper at a photo center, e.g., a 4x6 photo):

You will be purchasing a digital file from me (thus the design fee) for you to upload to your preferred online photo center (like Costco.com, Walmart.com, Walgreens.com, or Samsclub.com). You are free to print as many copies as you'd like (separate printing fees apply). Invitations are 4x6 (usually between $.13 and $.19 each), posters are 11x14 ($4.86 each at Walmart.com), and coloring book favor prints on regular 8.5x11 paper from your home computer. And it's faster and cheaper than having me print and mail them to you!
Once I receive payment confirmation AND all your party information, I will personalize your party supplies within 1-2 business days. You will receive unlimited proofs until you are satisfied—at no extra cost. The more quickly you approve your proof, the more quickly you will have your high-resolution digital invitation e-mailed to you. (I usually respond promptly to my emails, so if you don’t see my response within 48 hours, please check up your spam mailbox.)
Once you approve the proof, I will e-mail you your Final High-Resolution file in a JPEG format (this is the standard picture format), and you can now upload the file to your preferred photo center (to pick up at a local store or to have mailed to you). This is as easy as printing regular pictures! Just slip invitations in an A-6 or #10-sized envelope (fits 4x6), and they're ready for you to mail!
Because you are purchasing a digital file, you can invite over your family or friends via email also! No extra postage! If you would like to send out email invitations, you will receive a lower resolution JPEG at no extra cost, so everybody can receive your invitation without delay!
All custom birthday items will coordinate in font and color scheme.
If you purchase your invitations from me, then I can customize your matching “Thank You” cards (same theme color and font), too! We’ll use the same process. Most online photo centers offer the option of printing an image on a folded notecard or greeting card, if you wish.

Q: Which online photo center is recommended?
A: For my personal needs, I consistently use Costco's photo center. The prints are only $.13 each and they are done in one hour. Just use the photo center you normally use. I have tried Walmart.com's photo center before, but I was not pleased with their service. If you use Walmart.com, I recommend that you call them beforehand to ensure their photo machines are operational.

Q: What is your design/personalization fee?
A: It is the "Add to Cart" price. The purchase prices covers my design fee (customize text, colors, photos, etc.)

Q: For personalized photo products, how big does my picture need to be?

A: I can only use .JPEG or .TIFF photos. It needs to be at least 500 x 500 pixels for best results (for 4x6 birthday invitations), but I prefer 1000 x 100o pixels. Your photo needs to have enough space around the person's head to make image placement look nice.

I recommend sending a picture with the correct headspace (see images above) and at least 150 KB (file size), but preferably 300 KB or higher. Adjust your settings on your camera to at least 2 or 3 MegaPixels before taking a picture and it will result in a sharper image. When you save your image as a JPEG, select “best quality” and/or “biggest file.” Please click here to read more about image resolution and quality.

I do NOT do any photo editing on my end.

Please email me your picture as soon as you complete your purchase along with the personalization information.

Q: The sample image on your web site is too small. How can I enlarge it to see the detail?
A: To enlarge any image, just click on it. Use your browser's back button to navigate back to this page.)

Q: Why don't I see any images?
A: This is a page-loading error. If you see a hollow white-lined rectangle or box, that means an image is missing/failed to load (usually due to your internet connection being interrupted). Just click on the image box to view the actual image.

Q: What are the printing policies? Can I share the files I buy with my friends?
A: It depends on the product. See below.
For freebies, feel free to share. Of course, I'd love it if you just referred them to my web site so that they can look around and download the freebies for themselves.

For Educational Products (item #s beginning with ED or PA):
Once you have purchased a file, you may print as many copies as you'd like for use with children in your immediate care (i.e., children you homeschool, children in your daycare, children in your school class). If you'd like to share with a friend, purchase an extra copy please, or direct them to my site so they may purchase it for themselves. My prices low so that they are affordable to everyone, especially teachers. I appreciate your integrity.

For Custom Cards, Invitations, or Party Supplies
Once I customize these products for you, you may print as many copies as you see fit for your personal one-time event.

Q: What if I find a mistake or am otherwise unhappy with my purchase?
A: Please let me make it right! If you are not happy with a purchase, or find a mistake on your product, please email me immediately so I can fix it. I want you to be happy with your purchase--if you're not happy, I'm not happy.

Q: What forms of payment do you accept? What if I don't have a PayPal account?
A: No worries. I accept personal checks, money orders, and debit/credit card purchases made through PayPal. If you choose to mail me the check or money order, I wait until the money has been cleared before you get your product...so it's a slower process. You do NOT need to have a PayPal account, nor do you have to register with PayPal to check out using my shopping cart--you just need your credit card or debit card handy. Please email me with any questions regarding these issues.

Q: Why do you give some files away for free?

A: In short, it's a way I give back to help others. Please read my philosophy here.

Q: Where can I go to get more ideas for my birthday party?
A: This is my favorite Birthday Party Idea web site http://www.birthdaypartyideas.com/

Q: What other services do you offer?
A: For a list of my other services, read here.

If you have a question that is not answered here, please email me and I will
1) email you the answer, and
2) post the answer on this page for others to see.

Thank you! I look forward to earning your business.

My Philosophy

2008-06-15T23:39:00.002-06:00

Many of you may wonder why I give out freebies.

It is NOT to drive traffic to my web site or to advertise, although that most likely occurs. It is because I believe strongly that every parent and teacher should have access to certain resources. When parents have access to resources that help their children, they can be better and happier parents. I give files out for free because it's a way I can give back and improve the world just a little bit.

It might help to know that one of my favorite books is "The Alchemist," by Paul Coelho.

Picture Resolution Information

2008-06-06T15:06:00.002-06:00

If you child’s picture isn’t high quality or high-resolution, it will look pixelated or fuzzier than the rest of the invitation.

Here is a more detailed explanation about picture resolution. Digital image dimensions are pixels by pixels, and they vary in quality (aka pixels per inch or ppi). Most digital cameras have settings for how many MegaPixels/ppi you want, and that detemines the picture quality. The more pixels per inch, the higher the resolution. PPI translates directly into DP (or dots per inch) on a printer and determines the clarity of the printed image. While 72 ppi looks great on a computer monitor, it results in crummy printing quality. To achieve high-quality printing results, your image should be at least 200 ppi, if not 300 ppi. A 300 ppi image will print incredibly better than a 100 ppi image. If the image file size is less than 112 KB, it will most likely not print well for invitation purposes.

For example, lets say you have two images whose dimensions are both 600x450 pixels. The first image has the quality of 100 pixels per sq inch (ppi), which means the picture will be 6”x4.5” with poor image quality when printed. The second image has 250 ppi and an image that is 2.4”x1.8”with medium picture qualilty, or in other words, higher-resolution or sharper image.

I recommend sending a picture with the correct headspace (see images in FAQs), at least 500x500 pixels, and at least 150 KB (file size). Adjust your settings on your camera to at least 2 or 3 MegaPixels, it it will result in a sharper image. When you save your image as a JPEG, select “best quality” and/or “biggest file.”

About Alana

2008-05-17T12:36:00.003-06:00

Thanks for shopping at Alana Lee Designs!

I'm a stay-at-home mom to my three girly girls, 7, 5 and 2. I have loved art since I started drawing on the walls at age 2. It is my passion in life.

I am a Graphic Designer with an eye for detail and a knack for creativity. My purpose is to help you do Life Events with unique style. That means well-designed birthday invitations, birth announcements, baby shower invitations, thank you cards, greeting cards, and more!

I am also an Editor with an eye for detail. I have edited several manuscripts, training manuals, web sites, graduate school essays, and resumes. One of my life's dreams is to write a book and I am currently in the process of writing a novel with romance and fantasy elements aimed at girls aged 12-35.

I've been doing graphic design professionally since 1999, although it had been a hobby for years prior, and I edited my first manuscript in 2003. I have a BS in Sociology and Master's of Organizational Behavior (MOB similar to MBA-OB) from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University-Provo.

I specialize in the following areas, although I can do most anything within the graphic design and editing fields:

educational tools for preschool, kindergarten, (both for homeschool or public school teachers), including exercises for practicing the alphabet, numbers, cutting, and coloring
custom cards and invitations
manuscripts
business training manuals
anything printed!

Thank You!

2008-05-16T22:19:00.002-06:00

Thank you for contacting me. I make every effort to respond to email within 24-48 hours. Thanks again!

Family Standards

2008-05-07T08:33:00.000-06:00

I created "Family Standards" for my family to help us with establishing rules and for parenting. This is a wonderful way to display your family's beliefs in your home--it is both useful and beautiful. Your family will have no question whether or not something is allowable.

The magic of "Family Standards" comes from the terminology you use. When you refer to "rules," it's a natural human tendency to rebel against said "rules." However, if you refer to what your family "believes" and what your "standards" are, you will most likely get more cooperative results.

For example, if little Lou steals a pack of gum from the store, you state firmly but lovingly; "Little Lou, our family believes in being honest. Stealing from the store is dishonest. What can you do to make this right?"

Or if Ben punches his brother in the jaw, you state: "Ben, our family believes in being kind and respecting other people's bodies. What can you do to make it right?"

Or if little Hannah says, "You're mean, I hate you!" (Hopefully you never have to hear this.) You state: "Hannah. I'm sorry you feel that way. But our family believes in using kind words. How can you express your frustration using kind words?"

Here are some examples you can get started with:

We believe in loving one another.

We believe in obeying God’s commandments.

We believe in being honest and virtuous.

We believe in being kind.

We believe in being helpful.

We believe in being grateful.

We believe in saying thank you.

We believe in the power of prayer.

We believe that our bodies are temples.

We believe in following the prophets.

We believe in doing fun things as a family.

We believe in good music.

We believe in being clean and safe.

I printed two copies and framed them. One is downstairs by our family picture gallery, the other is upstairs.

If you'd like me to customize your family standards for a beautiful and useful wall hanging (that you can frame), just click on "add to cart" and email me a customization request. If you'd like me to match colors of a room, just attach a picture!

Please allow 2-4 business days for your file once I receive payment confirmation.

Just print your custom file as an 8x10, mat it, frame it, and display! (As low as $1.50 a print; separate printing charges apply.)
