Use your computer and clip art to design your own cards or Mother’s Day stationary, or create a Mother’s Day website just for the moms in your famiy (mothers, grandmothers, stepmoms, mothers-in-law.) Kids can even use clip art to create Mother’s Day scrapbooks for their moms. You can print out the clipart, cut it out and paste it, or you can make the cards or stationary using Microsoft Word. There are many easy tutorials on line that will show you how. Making websites is easy using Front Page, but if you prefer, there are many templates for designing free websites online, and you can use one of those. Do not be intimidated; it is easy and takes no complicated computer skills. Use a combination of clip art and family photos to create a great site that will be unique for your family!
Where do you find great free Mother’s Day clipart? A simple Google search will turn up many sources, but here are some that I particularly like.
Kaboose has a wonderful collection of large and colorful images, including beautiful red and yellow rose designs.
Kids’ Turn Central offers a selection of colorful bears and beautiful flowers for your Mother’s Day webpages and designs. These are particularly suited to use by children.
Packrat Productions provides stunning, huge, colorful images of Victorian mothers and children as well as the usual gorgeous flower images. Do not pass up the opportunity to view these lovely images of maternal love.
Fortune City also has classic images of mothers, as well as very pretty hearts and flowers.
Using these images is very easy. In most cases, to save these images and download them, just right click on them, place your cursor on “Save picture as..” and save it to your desktop or whatever folder you would like to use (such as “My Documents.”)From there, you will be able to copy them to your webpages or print them out for designs.
These sites will get you started. There are many more wonderful sites for free clip art, although the quality varies widely. All of the sites that I have mentioned are colorful and high quality clip art.
