Spring is a time of inspiration for many people, and an important time for many different faiths. No matter what inspires you, you’ll find products in our Template Gallery which can be easily adapted as reflections of your family’s values or beliefs. From tiles to canvases and books to cards, the possibilities are endless.

“Inspirational Tiles” by Margaret Barrett (Template ID 51533) is a collection of inspirational quotes made from a 12 x 12 scrap page, cut into squares, and mounted on 6 inch tiles. This beautiful set can be used together or divided up and given as individual gifts. Our examples use quotes from Theodore Roosevelt, Judy Garland, Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Colin Powell, Booker T. Washington, and others. You can use those quotes provided, or find your own favorites in the “Quotes” tab in Studio.






Our beautiful 20 x 8 Wrapped Canvas titled “Breathe” by Wendy Bailey (Template ID 41825) is a great reminder to each of us in our busy lives to take a moment and enjoy. Featuring the famous – and relevant – quote, “This is not a dress rehearsal,” this contemporary and colorful design is both visually stunning and emotionally calming. A great addition to a kitchen, bath, or common area in your house, you can customize the colors to fit whichever room you choose.


With a wonderful quote from Walt Disney, our “Dream” 18 x 18 Wrapped Canvas Deep by Tanja Rigby (Template ID 45179) is sure to remind your son or daughter of the importance of believing in your dreams. Part of our “ready-in-an-instant” collection, this piece is perfect in a teen’s bedroom, family room, or the den. You can leave it as is, or take five minutes to change the colors to match your décor.







Another 20 x 8 Wrapped Canvas, “Become,” by Cassie Balser (Template ID 51633) features a beautiful quote that encourages you to live as you want to become. A contemporary design and colorful flowers make this a perfect gift for older teens, college students, and others who are beginning a new journey in life.


Designed by Tanja Rigby, “Peace” (Template ID 45069) is a striking visual presentation of a favorite Old Testament verse from Psalms. Colors can be changed to accommodate décor for this large 20 x 20 Wrapped Canvas.











Serve the Lord 1” and “Serve the Lord 2" (Template IDs 51770 & 52809) are variations from the HM Signature Templates which draw upon the classic Old Testament verse “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Version 1 features a traditional Christian design, while Version 2 substitutes the LDS temple for the cross. Beautifully done in lighter shades, this inspiring quote is a constant reminder of what your family holds important.


Designed by Lynda Angelastro, this “Jewish Proverb” 12 x 12 Scrapbook Page (Template ID 52730) is a meaningful statement of a universal sentiment: Light is not recognized except through darkness. This beautiful image can be done on a ceramic tile as well.
