With a {Freebie} Cherry On Top!

I love food. I don't try to deny it and I've just found ways to control my lack of self control when it comes to food :) Perhaps my newest coping strategy is to fuel that love into my clipart sets.... Check out my newest "sweet" clips:
I wrote a post WAY back about my love of cupcakes and the crazy burst of cupcake clipart that is in my store now, so if you want more sweet treats, check out that post {HERE}. I'm trying to make my clipart more versatile and easier for teachers to create their products, so I made this set mix-match pairs for centers or worksheets. Teachers can stack as many ice cream scoops on top of the cones as they want to create activities for fact families, word sorts, synonyms, etc. 

I also posted a new Little Artist Kids clipart set that I have already made some additions to in order to make it more "TpT creator" friendly :)

My bloggy friend had a great suggestion about the paint cans and paint splashes to make them more useful for sorts and activity-making. She suggested that I make cans without the handles so teachers could have more room for labels for sorts and make paint blogs with a little more space for words, too. I thought it was a great suggestion! So I added these modified images- bringing the total of this $4.50 set up to 54 images!!
AND...last but not least, I'll end this quickie post with a "Cherry on Top" 
with my newest {FREEBIE} clipart set, Cherry Bunches :)
I thought there would be a lot of possibilities for counting activities for little learners, all the way up to multiplication and division activities for the older kiddos! Snatch it up if you want!

I'm off to tackle the work that I have not been motivated to finish yet. Amazing how the weekend flies by so fast....

Putting Happy Faces on all my Images!!

Ever since I finished my newest Put on a Happy Face clipart set, I have been spending WAY too much time playing around with my images from other clipart sets and adding smiles.....check out the instant "makeover!"
BEFORE
AFTER! Smiles all around :)
 I have made hundreds of images of clipart since I started last summer, so if I keep putting smiles on all of them....I'm going to have a BIG problem haha Nothing brightens my day like some happy clipart :)

If you are wondering where those images above came from the carrot, watermelon and apple are from my Alphabet Pictures Clipart Set that can be used for MUCH more than alphabet activities.


The blue ribbon is part of my freebie Award Ribbon Pack.
What do you think of the rainbow stripe border on the makeover images above? 
I just finished up that new Color Striped Borders tonight and think they would be really useful for product covers, task card borders or end-of-the-year certificates. I have included each color with a transparent center, as well as a white center :) These previews are part of the same set, I just couldn't fit them all on the same page. 

 I already have a handful of additional face doodles that I will be updating my Put on a Happy Face set next week! Just can stop doodlin'! If you have purchased the set, you will get the revised number of images for free!

How to Almost Double your Clipart Library for just $3.00!

Have you ever had a clipart image and thought, "Wow, this would be really cute if it had a goofy little smile on it and it became a little character?" Well if you have, I got you covered... haha

I just finished my Put on a Happy Face clipart set and this set is a TpT seller must....and here's why. With these 12 transparent face doodles, you can turn ANY clipart object into a little character! You can practically double the use of your clipart library (which we know is already probably enormous if you suffer from clipart addiction like me).

Check it out....

 Here's how it works....easy peasy!
It's that simple! It's only $3.00 in my store right now! Click on the images or links above to check it out and DOUBLE your clipart library in seconds :)

New Clipart Set: Character Doodle-A-Face!

Check out my newest clipart set! Character Doodle-A-Face Clipart! It is something completely different than what I already have in my store, but I thought it would be fun to make and I thought it would give teachers a lot of options for creating resources.

I thought these images would be great for character analysis, behavior reflections, lessons on feelings, inference lessons about character feelings/emotions, etc!

What is also different about this set is that it is a GROWING SET! I have never posted a clipart set like that before where I will be continuously adding images to this set and if you purchase it now for $5.00, you will always be able to download new face templates as the product is updated. If you purchase the set and there is a certain looking character that you would need a face template for, I will do my best to add it in a timely manner :) The price of the set will go up as the image count increases....so buy it while it is at the lowest price right now!

There are 15 face templates (including one bald one where students could also doodle the hair of the character). There are 8 girls and 7 boys right now.....although I have already thought of a couple more hairstyles and doodled them since I posted it....so I am already working towards my updated edition!

If you want to check it out and snatch it up at the low price and get unlimited access to ALL future face templates, click {HERE} or on the image above!

Thanks for checking it out- I hope you are as excited about it as me and don't just think they look like creepy mannequin heads haha Happy Wednesday to everyone!

Being Thankful

Welp, it's Sunday night and that means my spring break is officially over in about 4 hours....my gosh, amazing how those breaks fly by so much faster than the work week does!

I flew to Chicago for break and had an awesome week visiting my family- it. went. way. too. fast. It was a great little bubble away from reality for a while. Being with my family reminded me of just how much I have to be thankful for.  No matter how crazy my life gets or how many places I move to for school or work, they are the one thing that stays the same.

It was while I was visiting family that I saw a lot on the news about the Sandy Hook families working towards stricter gun laws. When I was at my sister's house, I saw articles in People magazine about the families who lost children. It just seemed like there were a lot of reminders about the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. Maybe that is part of the reason why I was so thankful that I had the time with my family.

It reminded me that I never did a follow-up post about my Angels Among Us clipart set that I created shortly after the tragedy. All the profits from this set have gone to helping the families/children in crisis. I want to thank everyone who has supported these families by purchasing this clipart set!! It is because of you that I was able to make a donation to the Sandy Hook Elementary School Fund through the Network for Good Organization.


All the sales from this set will continue to go to Sandy Hook Elementary and families affected by this tragedy. I wanted to make sure that you all knew that your donations are helping families. If you haven't snatched up this set, it is in my store and I will be making my next donation after the next quarter ends on TpT.

Thanks so much for helping me support Sandy Hook!
