Christmas products almost ready for bundle!

I have been working on my PowerPoint skills to create some stylized Christmas goodies. I am slowly adding more to my TpT store and I even got my first two sales from these adorable winter clip-arts, frames, and borders!

While I worked on each of those I created a separate set of snowflake art, using the design from the snowflakes I created in the blue and white snowflake background. Each thing I work on, seems to inspire a new creation. As a matter of fact, the candy-cane designs I created in the first two sets were the inspiration  for a much larger set of candy-cane art.

I decided to try each design in 11 different colors tints and shades, with one set in standard flat colors with outlines, and another set using matching gradients and no outlines!
I just finished my new candy-cane collection and I put them up today! (I thought they would be easy.) These may not look extremely complicating, but they took a long time and a great deal of precise placement. Even though they are created for these winter months, some of them can also be used throughout the year.

I have to say, when I am in creation mode, I am always thinking of new things, new ideas, ways to expand on what I'm doing, and subtle additions and changes to make more clip-arts. Then I have to decide, 'Do I really want to put in all the work and add more and more, should I stop and get it out there, should I create more sets to sell separately, or should I just put it all together?' With the candy-cane art, it got to be so huge, I finally decided to separate it into two individual items. I have one set of clip art and frames (shown above), and another set of backgrounds (shown below).

My next creation will be traditional Christmas clip-art, and I hope I don't take long since Christmas is almost upon us! Then I will set out to make one large Christmas bundle of all of them! I know I got a late start on some of these, but that's fine. They will be all ready for next year, and I'm sure I'll make lots more then. 

I am still learning a lot, and I have a lot to learn. I am enjoying my new work, creating digital art for others to use and enjoy. I hope some of my visitors will stop by my teeny tiny store and take a peak, and just maybe you might find something you like. Who knows, it may even find a new home with you!

More notebook options.

This should go along well with my other post. I don't think the Chromebook is really an option since we are looking at smaller notebooks with a touch screen. We are also not likely to consider an iPad, since it's quite pricy and we are way more into Android products. Lots of research and looking around to do.

So this is techy Christmas!

It's that time if year again. If you have you're own children you must figure out the right presents for them. What do you purchase from the Christmas list, and what do you leave out?
In. my case I have a 5th grade daughter and 2nd grade son. Daughter already has a laptop and wifi galaxy mp3 player, so we're going light on her this year. She's not asking for much any way! The son, however, is eying all those things she already has, plus a couple video games.  We're not going to get him a lap top, but were considering the mp3 player. Oh, he also asked for a 3DS, but we're not entertaining that idea. Then I got to thinking... His computer is old, handles most of his school needs but not holding up well for other things. I wonder if a small notebook would be a good alternative? It's got the mp3 stuff covered, and can handle most of the PC and laptop needs for an 8 year old. Plus, we don't have to shell out the kind of funds necessary for a laptop! Then I see this;

Maybe this will be his year for something not on his list, but just a good alternative......Here's another post.
