Bible Quiet Book: the Nativity

Okay, these pages I did not design. Some other great gal already did the work of designing this template before me. You can get these great free templates here.

I modified her project for a quiet book (her original application was a cute Advent calendar). I created backgrounds of sky and land and I modified the stable to make it a bit more substantial. Here are the finished pages, just to inspire you!

Here is the two page spread.

These two pages probably took the most time of any of my pages (approximately 3 weeks to complete). There are a lot of little pieces and I hand sewed all of them. However, they were worth the extra work as they turned out quite detailed and beautiful.

I hope you give these pages a try. They are a significant contribution to the Bible quiet book.

If you are wondering what happened to Week 34, the topic was newborns, and neither my husband nor I could think of anything to take a picture of since we don't have anything newborn around us right now.

Bible Quiet Book: Joseph

Here is my next template for you to try. This page is Joseph and several changes of outfits. I saw a lot of ideas for Joseph and his coat of many colors on the internet. But I decided to take this page one step further.

Joseph has four outfits: one for each season of his life.
1. He has his coat of many colors for when he is at home with his father and brothers.
2. He has a simple outfit for when he is Potiphar's slave.
3. He has a poor outfit with chains on his wrists for when he is in prison.
4. He has a elegant outfit for when he is second in command in Egypt.

My original template for Joseph came from this coloring page.

This page was fairly simple to make. Here's my template.
