Even though the economy isn’t great right now, people still want to throw beautiful baby showers. The key to doing this in a down economy is to save money in areas that won’t be noticed. That can start with the baby shower invitations and include the decorations and any scrapbooks created to commemorate the event.
One of the means to do that is to find good free baby clip art. Very often you can find very nice free images online. Just search for “free baby shower clip art,” plus the type of image you want. For instance, if you’d like pink baby girl clip art, type those words or some variation. The same will work with virtually any theme you can think of, although the more obscure the concept, the less likely it will be that you’ll get enough good search results. If you’re lucky enough to find high resolution art when you search, you’ll open up more options for using it. That’s because print projects such as invitations or decorations require high resolution images. You can’t use low-resolution images because the final printed piece would be low quality. That would, of course, be unacceptable for baby shower decorations or invitations.
Baby shower clipart isn’t the only free resource you can find on the ‘Net. There are also many sites that present baby scrapbook pages. Many scrapbooking paper and embellishment designers give away free versions of their baby scrapbooking layouts to promote for-sale products or their pages that display advertising. Either of these models give them a financial incentive to offer scrapbook paper and embellishment freebies. No matter why the free scrapbook materials are offered, the new mom wins! There are almost as many baby scrapbook themes as there are stars in the sky, so that means you’ll probably be able to make shower invitations and decorations from them if you can’t find suitable clip art. Themes range from goofy to vintage to classy. Vintage baby art is all the rage right now, so you might want to try searching for free vintage baby scrapbook embellishments. A mom-to-be who loves this kind of art would probably be so pleased to have it as her shower theme!
It goes without saying that all the clip art, scrapbook papers and embellishments can also be used to preserve baby shower memories forever in a scrapbook that can be given to the mom-to-be. That means any image searching you do will pay off in more ways than one, giving the new mom a baby shower she’ll remember forever.
