Frames and Borders

If you've been a follower of mine for a while, you know I like to dabble in creating digital clip art. I call it clip art because I'm not sure what to call it, but it's it exactly that either. First, I can't draw. At all. But, I'm pretty handy with this here 'puter and I like to try new things with it. The first things I created weren't so good. I've shared them here and I've seen others use them, but they just weren't what I was looking for. There's a couple items in my TpT store that I'd like to take down now- for that reason :)

I changed these cute polka dot page frames into a free item. I hate that white middle and can now get rid of it. I still like them but don't think they need to be purchased :) You can click the picture to go download them from my TpT store.

My first clip art creation that I was truly excited about was my polka dot clock clip art. I needed a cute clock and couldn't find any. Voila. The cutest clocks you ever did see!

My first digital papers were these chevron papers. I spent FOR.EV.ER on these because I didn't know some tricks that I know now. I have really wanted to go through and redo these but haven't gotten to them yet.

Then I started to create frames that could be used in products. I could never find what I wanted when I was creating product covers and I was often creating my own. These were created out of that need!

Most recently, I created these zig zag page borders. I like using colored borders around my pages in my products- even though many don't because of color printing issues. Most of the time, I don't print them in color either. It just makes me happy :) The pictures turned out funky- and I mean funky- on TpT but I promise they're cute. Here's a few you can steal here but click on them to head over and download the whole set of 34! Oh yeah- they're FREE!!!
