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!
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).

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.

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!

No foul language, I tell students that if it belongs in the toilet it shouldn't be coming out of your mouth. Try to be decent to everyone, you don't have to agree, but you need to use courtesy. Thank about how your words or reaction may influence others. If I feel things are out of hand, or you are just being foul, you get one warning, then I will remove you.Thank you and enjoy!
