Clip Art on a Budget, Pin it Winners and a Freebie!

You get what you pay for~ so the saying goes! That is usually true for most things, but I am here to let you in on a way to add cute on a budget! The most challenging and time-consuming part of my latest project was finding the perfect graphics to represent events in Laura Numeroff books which are wildly creative!

While on my search for these unique images, like a carousel horse with a purple mane, I discovered a few shops with really cute, high-quality CU clip art.  Many have instant downloads available which is a definite plus for me. I just hate waiting for sets to be sent by email especially when I am on a roll!

If you are looking for a single graphic and don't want to spend a lot on a complete set for just one image you will use, check out

Digi Web Studio and Colorful Clipart (many $1.00 sets and digital stamps too)
Sweet Clip Art ( new TOU and CU with a small donation of as little as 25 cents!)

Of course, I will always rely on the work from my favorite artists~ Creative Clips, Ashley Hughes, Pink Cat Studio, Melonheadz and KPM Doodles, just to name a few! These fabulous graphics are worth every penny but it's always nice to get them on sale! KPM Doodles is running a 50% off special right now. Melonheadz is offering exclusive sets with purchase too, so hurry on over for the promo codes!

Laura Numeroff Stories~Sequencing Card Sets and Pin it to Win it!

I have been in clip art heaven and have found the cutest, most perfect graphics to use for a set of sequencing cards for favorite books by Laura Numeroff. Oh my! If you are familiar with the stories, you'll see what I mean! Just look at this pig! Hehe!

I created a series of sequencing card activity sets to help young readers remember the order of events and improve their retelling skills. You can use them at a retelling center or listening center as an independent activity or use them in a pocket chart during guided reading groups and during whole group instruction.

By request, I am adding a few new sets for the Numeroff series and have revised some oldies but goodies to include new graphics, fonts and a writing page. If you already purchased one of these, be sure to download the newest versions!
