In honor of General Conference weekend, we are going to have a fun LDS feature today! They are Melissa and Melanie the cute Mother/Daughter team from Green Jello With Carrots.
These ladies have mad illustration skills and offer a variety of super fun religious products, but we’ll get to that after the one-minute interview.
What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
Who is your favorite General Conference speaker?
What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon?
Photoshop – without it we’d be lost. (Also we’re pretty handy with a good old fashioned pencil!)
Where do you get your inspiration for your drawings?
Melissa: I get my inspiration from my kids. They’re crazy and cute and huge guinea pigs for all our products.
Melanie: Church callings mostly. Being in the Primary and Young Women programs helps to know what’s needed.
What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
Melissa: I have always like things in phases – currently my favorite artists are Sandra Boynton and David Shannon.
Melanie: The Flinstones (despite Melissa’s disgust with their three-toed characters – honestly, who can remain properly balanced on just three toes? Now, four toes….that’s better.)
Who is your favorite General Conference speaker?
Melissa: I miss hearing President Hinckley.
Melanie: President Monson and the way he relates to people.
There are sooo many cute Dress ups! You will have to see it to believe it!
Now for the faves…we’ll start with Melanie and Melissa’s and then I will share mine.
Our favorite products are the Dress Up Girl and Boy file folder games. I like to “help” my kids put them together in Sacrament Meeting, while completely paying full attention to the speakers and not the silliness of combining cowgirl hair with a princess dress, of course. There are sooo many cute Dress ups! You will have to see it to believe it!
Also, the “I Can Draw Books” are awesome. I think people get a bit confused about them. They have progressive steps on how to draw things from the different topics (Noah and the Ark, Joseph Smith, etc.). My 6 and 4 year old love using them.
Ok, now for a few of my faves. How do I choose? Well we’ll start with the free stuff, of course. I am a sucker for the free stuff. There is a whole sections of fun freebies. Oh and did I mention Freebie Fridays? Every Friday on their blog they have one free item. That way you can see how fun their stuff is and become addicted like me.
I am really in to file folder games lately. Maybe because I am desperately trying to find anything to keep my almost two year old busy for more than two minutes. They also have a General Conference Packet with some fun activities for the kiddos.
I love their picture of Jesus. He is so happy and gleaming with the “Pure love of Christ.” So precious with the kids loving Him. I get a kick out of the Relief Society sisters. They are too cute!
This new baby clip art is adorable. Perfect for a baby book or a baby shower card. Ugh, it makes me want another one. Is the Love Everyone poster not the sweetest? Too, too cute!
Great stuff Melanie and Melissa! You are now entered in to the Hall of Fame!
