Does anyone know of a good place to find cute clip art for flyers, newsletters, etc. I am not actually looking for photographs, but cartoonish things. So many of you make these beautiful flyers, but where do you get the art?
Thanks,
Jane :)
 
You can find quite a bit in the Microsoft online clipart gallery. If you are in Word, and go to insert clipart, there should be a little button that says "online."
 
Since I use mostly word and works I also get the majority of my clipart from the Microsoft website. Just click ones you like them download them. It's prety easy.
 
Just as an FYI - you cannot legally use Microsoft clip art for business purposes.

The following guidelines apply to the use of clip art:

1. You may use clip art in your school assignments and projects.
2. You may use clip art in your church brochure.
3. You may use clip art for personal, noncommercial uses.
4. You may not use clip art to advertise your business.
5. You may not use clip art to create a company logo.

6. You may not use clip art to illustrate the chapters of a book.​
 
hmmm never thought of checking out those guidelines. Thanks Jennifer!
