Digital Graphics help please

[beaderselbow]

Hi there I have been looking for some cute nativity stickers to make some christmas magnets from my grandbabies, age 18 mnth plus. I'm not having any joy so wondered if I would be better with a download? I don't fully understand this though.
Questions
Can I use a download more than once?
Does anyone know of a good site to buy from?
Have you seen any fun natiivity scenes that would be good?


There was one from Mambi Mini available as a download but I can't find it now.

Thanks hope someone can help me

Hiya,

You could try iStock - downloads/licenses cost between £1 and £10 depending on the size and format - I did a search for nativity and there are some cute ones there - www.iStock.com (http://www.iStock.com) search Illustrations and uncheck video/audio/photos etc.... you can use them as many times as you like once you've downloaded and, for you magnets, the smallest ones should be fine...

Alternatively, if you have MS Word installed on your computer you may find something in the clipart - providing it's for personal use you are allowed to use it...open a new document then go up to INSERT then PICTURE then CLIPART - a box should open for you to search and you sould get a lot of thumbnails click on the thumbnail to insert it into your document....try different search words (Christmas; Santa etc) to get a wide selection...

Hope this helps

Hi there! when you download something it means that you are taking information from the net and storing it on your computer. Your computer may ask you where you would like this info (in this case a picture) to be stored when you click on the image or click a 'download' button. I keep a folder on my 'desktop' to put images in so they're easy to find again.

There are some sellers on etsy.com that specialize in little photos and have collections of photos that you can buy. They're sent in an email for you to download after you purchase them. The resolutions are usually very low, though, so if you need to scale them up, they will probably go blurred.

Hope this helps.

I love Digital Stamps!! Once you have downloaded then to your computer you can print and use them as much as you like and the best thing is you don't have to wait - lol!!

Dustin Pike has some great christmas images which you can download immedidately here is the link: http://www.doodledragonstudios.com/Digis5.html (http://www.doodledragonstudios.com/Digis5.html)

Another lady who has some beautiful graphics is Maurie Manning.

I know i'm 2 months too late (haa-haa) as i'm just browsing through threads I don't normally have time to look at and wondered if you've tried Microsoft Clip Art online beaderselbow?

You can download as many wmf images and photos as you like and its all free if its for personal use.
