Design Crafters

Tomorrow I will teach you how to take your photo and include it in a Photo Christmas Card you design.

But first, I think we should devote today’s blog entry to another aspect of this issue. That would be finding free Christmas clip art to include in your photo.

So in that spirit, let me tell you about some free Christmas Card clip art resources.

Kids Domain is one of the best. There are Santas, snowmen, animals, Christmas shrubbery. In fact, I’ve placed a screen shot of some Kids Domain Christmas clip art at the upper right of this post.

Bry-Back Manor’s Christmas card area seems to be heavily Santa-themed. No complaints here.

Sandy’s Graphics offers some beautiful, Christmas-themed Victorian styled border sets.

Courtemanche’s Christmas Graphics has Christmas themed animations. A Santa-like figure (though much thinner) ringing a bell is one of my favorites. Although you can take a screen capture of these images and design a Photo Christmas card from them, I’d recommend this site in case you want to build an online Photo Christmas card you might want to email. (Hey, that’s a good idea for another column!)

Barry’s Clip Art Server is another must-stop. The Christmas section contains free clip art images of Santas, elves, garlands, Christmas trees, home and hearth scenes, and.. and food!!

Finally I would recommend you check out the Free Christmas Clip Art section of ChristmasGifts.com. Lots of animated characters getting into the Christmas spirit!
