Adding artwork to charts

[potters]

Over the summer break I would like to transfer all of my stored poems and songs onto chart paper. My dilemma is: where can I find artwork that would be attractive to add to the charts before having them laminated. My co-teacher, who has been teaching fro 26 years, has had children of friends illustrate her charts in the past. I don't have this option and am looking to the great minds on this site to come up with some spectacular ideas. Does anyone on this board decorate their charts? If so, what do you use?

I sometimes use clip art...there are many sites you can get clip art from the net....I also do a google search for specific pictures.

You could also try drawing your own pictures (I know - it's not always possible) - but I can do it if I'm looking at a picture.

favorite clip art site

My favorite clip art site is:

www.discoveryschool.com

Go there, and click on Clip art... it's divided by clip art, and I like to use this site exclusively because then all my stuff kind of matches.

What about using borders?

Thanks for the ideas

I had considered clipart but was actually looking for something with a little more pizzazz. I had considered mini bulletin board sets or other mini shapes but the types of pictures were limited. I like the idea of using a strip or bb border along one edge or more.

Does anyone have any other really off the wall ideas for adding artwork to charts?
