Monday Mailbag: Vintage Clipart for Creatives

Monday Mailbag - vintage clipart sources

I’m using Mondays to clear out my inbox. This week’s question comes from a fellow creative wanting to know where I find the vintage clipart I use in my devotional journals and free printables. I’ve gotten enough similar requests for information over the years that I decided to publish my response here, in case other readers may be interested, as well:

Question:

Hi, Jennifer.

I love the vintage graphics. would you mind sharing where you got them from? I would like to make my own printables.

Thanks,
Anita

Answer:

I’m happy to share, Anita. The majority of the graphics I use come from one or more of the following five sources:

  • The Graphics Fairy – She publishes lots of vintage clipart and photos on her main blog, but also has a membership site that allows me unlimited use of the collection, even in commercial projects.

  • Old Design Shop – She offers a much smaller but still excellent selection of vintage and retro clipart easily searchable by subject.

  • The Hungry Jpeg – This is my go-to source for unique fonts to use in my graphic art, but it also offers a wide array of clipart. Most of their products are for purchase, but they offer a new freebie every Wednesday.

  • Masterclips 101,000 Premium Images Collection – My husband bought me this huge CD library of royalty-free and public domain photos and clipart which he found at Office Max on clearance for $9.99 about 25 years ago.

    MasterClips
  • My own mind — Some of the artwork I use is original and hand-drawn. This is especially true of many the free printable coloring pages I share on this website.

I know Anita is not the only creative that reads my blog. Some of my readers are would be or practicing bloggers, aspiring or published authors, and of course lots and lots of homeschool moms who may or may not also run a home business.

So, in case you’re interested, I wanted to mention the fact my friend Ruth Soukup is offering a free webinar tonight. In fact, Ultimate Bundles is hosting two of these webinars today with two popular bloggers. They are filling up fast, but if you act quickly, you may still be able to grab a spot for one or both of them. Sign up here:

The Gathering Place in Tulsa is the most amazing p The Gathering Place in Tulsa is the most amazing playground ever! Climbing castles, enormous slides, two-person swings, and even kayaks and paddle boats — all FREE. You don’t even have to pay for parking!  #flandersfamilytravels #thegatheringplace #roadtrip
We are so very grateful for those who paid the ult We are so very grateful for those who paid the ultimate price to secure and protect our liberty, and we are also thankful for places like this — the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO — for preserving this integral part of our nation’s history.  “Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”  #flandersfamilytravels #memorialday #landoftgefreebecauseofthebrave

Kansas is the only state capitol in the US that offers free public tours to the top of its cupola.  #flandersfamilytravels #statecapitols #homeschool #fieldtrip
For the most part, our days of traveling with ten For the most part, our days of traveling with ten or twelve kids in tow are behind us.  For the majority of our trips during the past year, we’ve had only these three tagging along. Sometimes just the youngest two.  By this time next year, we’ll be down to only Abby.  The speed with which all our chicks have grown up and left the nest have made me so grateful for the years we’ve spent homeschooling them and for the freedom that decision has allowed us to travel together whenever and wherever my husband’s schedule would allow.  Traveling cross country with cranky toddlers isn’t always fun.  Backpacking Europe with a breastfeeding baby takes effort.  Cramming 12 people into a 500 sq ft army barrack during Daddy’s 4-month (stateside) deployment so we can all be together requires commitment.  But all the memories and comradery and love that such small sacrifices foster are so worth it!  So don’t put off traveling with your kids until they are older. Even if you are just driving across town to explore a park or museum you’ve never seen before, do it without delay.  If you wait too long, you may not have any kids left at home to share the experience with. 🥲  #flandersfamilytravels #homeshooling #siezetheday
