Troop Buttons for Everything!

By strawJenberry
Troop Buttons for Everything! Buttons, Buttons, Whose Got the Buttons? Sometimes I create graphics for clients, sometimes out of necessity and usefulness, but sometimes I design for FUN. And these are fun. I’ve created several buttons to completion and have quite a few still in draft form. At first, I figured they would make cute Facebook cover photos. Then I made matching cover photos to go with them. But I love them so much that I can see them being a troop logo or t-shirt design too! The sky is the limit. If you want a hot air balloon, an […]

Ch-ch-ch-changes!

By strawJenberry
Ch-ch-ch-changes! Change happens whether we like it or not.  But it can be very inconvenient, or exciting or all of the above.  What am I talking about? Well, have you ever clicked on a Pinterest link/pic only to find the link is dead or does to a completely different page? I’m not talking about strategic redirect, I’m talking about a page that exists, but is no longer available. I first discovered this when I created my aMuse Journey in a Day packet.  Over time I received dozens of emails from frustrated leaders who could no longer find the resources at […]

By strawJenberry
Time to Celebrate! Goodies for Bridging & Beyond… Summer is approaching and end of the year celebrations are in full swing! Many of you have been with me for years and I’ve had the fun of seeing troops go from Daisies, to Brownies, to Juniors and now to Cadettes!

It means you can have a custom logo for your troop that no one […]

To see how I used them in 2014, go here. The tags are updated yearly! Download the tags for the current year here.
