Freebie TPT Promotional Banner!

2013-11-19T11:52:00.000-08:00

I made a fun Christmas banner and wanted to share! Feel free to use on your blog or other social media and link to your store. No need to credit me, but please do respect copyright. If you'd like to share this image so others can download too, please link here instead of uploading to your blog. Thanks! :)

Drumroll please.......

2013-11-18T09:40:00.001-08:00

Thank you so much to everyone who entered and shared your thoughts and opinions! I appreciate all of you!

The answers resoundingly say to keep my current name. I think this is for the best. I have decided to keep my little octopus guy! I'd miss him anyway, lol. I have also decided to open two new graphics shops on Etsy, with a slightly different focus. So if you run across I Heart Foxy Art or Foxy Blogs on the web or while shopping at Etsy, know it's me! :) Don't worry, I'll still be devoting time to my teacher clip art shop! It's where my heart is! It will likely be some time before the other shops are both up and running, no rush. Thanks again everyone and have a wonderful week!

Giveaway & Freebie...The artist formally known as...?

$25 Credit for Ink n Little Things Store

I've been considering changing my store name for many, many months. I LOVE my little octopus icon guy but the name has always left a little to desire for me, something to do with the 'n' has always made me a bit batty, lol. There are lots of reasons to leave the name the same and one big reason to change it. I'd love to hear the opinion of my fans!

I starting playing around with a new store name and catch phrase. I Heart Foxy Art - Make it clever, make it cute! What do you think?

Here are some foxes I've been playing around with. :)

The only required entry is answering the question, "Do you think I should keep my old store name or go for the new?"! I'd love to hear your reasons or thoughts behind your opinion in the comment you leave, but it isn't necessary to enter. The other entries are optional to have a better chance of winning. If you already like me or follow my store or blog be sure you claim the extra entries! If not get busy showing me some love to gain additional entries. :)

I've uploaded a quick Christmas freebie to Dropbox for everyone to download. I so love Christmas and 'Tis just about the Season! Enjoy the freebie frames and papers!

Something old! I'm working on revising my Simple Shapes Frames. I had some ideas on improving this product, so if you've already purchased this be on the lookout for a revision to download free soon. There will be some new frames added! I'll be sure to put the word out when this is complete. :)

I am so happy to announce the winners of the giveaway, Becky Haensly and Stephanie Baker! This has been a lot of fun for me but a little hard too. I wish everyone could win!

I hope everyone else has had a great weekend too!

10 to Win! Clip Art Giveaway!

2013-07-19T21:47:00.002-07:00

Winner's Choice of 10!

Two Winners!

While my blog is still new, my TPT store has reached 500 followers! To celebrate this milestone I'd like to give something back. Two lucky winners will receive 10 items (excluding bundles) from my shop of the winner's choice! While I frequently donate to others' giveaways, this is my first time hosting one. Hopefully I did everything right! :)

***If you are already following me at TPT please put 'already following' for entry #1 in place of the follower number. All of my followers, new and old, can enter to win! I appreciate ALL of you!***

Winners will be able to choose from all the items in my shop, except bundles. You may have your eye on my popular Simple Shapes Frames, some of my new Doodle Frames or Stick Kids, or maybe you could use some digital papers? If you're a lucky winner the choice is up to you!

I've been working on sprucing up my store and blog this summer. I still have quite a list of things to accomplish but I have been able to check some things off. (You know how good that feels!) See those nifty social media icons to the right? I made those! And for an even bigger feat, I learned how to install them. My store mascot got a bit of a makeover too. I hope you like my new octopus icon! :)

I've also been having fun playing around with some new software this summer. Sometimes we adults learn best by play too! I took the plunge and signed up to Creative Cloud, so I've been playing with Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Illustrator and InDesign are neat programs with big learning curves (at least for me!). I hope everyone else has had a fun and productive summer too!

Just some of the items you could choose from-
