Thank you everyone... I will play around with powerpoint for now

I use PrintShop. I can import whatever clip art I want to make borders and frames. I have a Thistle Girl membership, so I always have an almost endless supply of border possibilities.

I first started out using word, then I upgrade to publisher, and now I use powerpoint. It is so much easier and then I just save to pdf when I am done.

As the pp stated Scrappin Doodles, ThistleGirlDesigns and Just So Scrappy Too all require a license to sell/give away free items using their graphics on TPT & TN sites. Some require that you provide a link back to their site. You must check out each graphic artists terms of use (TOU) before you purchase and use their graphics-not knowing will not stop any legal action if you infringe on their copy rights.

Print Candee, Lilly Bimble, and Lettering Delights are some others that I just started using for my papers, graphics, and frames/borders/fonts.

microsoft publisher!! I search in google for free fonts and free clip art and free frames and that's about it. =) But if I sold stuff I'd have to get the license thingy in order to sell, but I don't sell so....I just use the free stuff for myself. There's also a rule about sharing stuff you make that you need a license for too.

I use Word, but I've heard that PowerPoint is so much easier. I'm going to try it. As far as borders, I get mine through TpT.

I make everything in powerpoint and then save it as a PDF.

In terms of borders and graphics, I don't use tons but I have purchased a few from KPM doodles and Lettering Delights. KPM is pretty cheap and gives a whole clipart set for under $4. Those that I purchase I re-use again and again so I don't buy tons!

There are also a ton of great sites which give free fonts!

Kevin and Amanda and Sugar Frog (I think) are amazing.

Hope this helps!

for tpt or for whatever, you guys always have awesome borders, cool designs, etc. I know you can do a lot with word, but do y'all use other programs?

Thanks!!!
