I love all of your graphics! Tbey are adorable! I have a request to make....I am creating a nursery rhyme unit and am in need of nursery rhyme clipart....mary had a little lamb....jack be nimble....humpty dumpty...jack and jill....hey diddle diddle...little miss muffett.....I was wondering if you could create those graphics including black and white??? I am also envisioning sequencing nursery rhymes too. So I was thinking of perhaps 3 pictures for each rhyme....example...a pic of humpty dumpty on a wall....then falling off wall...and last the kings horses and men....did that make sense? Thank you for considering my request.I am using some of your borders (big dots) for the rhyme posters. Thank you!!!

Hi
You will need to 'insert' the graphics/pictures into a software program like Word or Powerpoint. Extract your files from the folder (if using PC) and then open your file. Go INSERT then PICTURE then choose the picture that you would like to insert on the page. Then you can change teh size etc and print

Hi. Since I bought this for the blend font -- I would like some instructions on how to use it. I can't figure it out -- I spent a lot of time trying.

Graphics From the Pond  (TpT Seller)
There is a pdf file included with the fonts that will give you a key.

For example, if you want boxes for the word 'cat' - where 'at' is isolated as a word family, you would type the letters 'b' and 'c' - this way two boxes will appear that show the two shapes required to write the word 'cat'. YOu DO NOT type the actual letters in the words you need. I have assigned randomly chosen letters that will type the BOXES that you need for various letter shapes..

I hope that helps.
Kind regards

Hi. I bought your product and the 'blend boxes' are only blank boxes - you have a code sheet that shows they come in 7 shapes
I need some instruction.
I have the key code of a-g to make the 'blend boxes -- but how do I make a box shaped to my word, especially if my word has an a-g in it? I can't figure out how to use this 'blends font' -- it is the reason I bought the fonts. If I want boxes for letters others than the 7 shapes how do I get them?

Hi! Do you have shape graphics? I purchased a set of shape songs form Fun In ECSE and the cover page mentioned how the graphics were from you. I would need the following shapes trapezoid, oval, heart, hexagon, diamond, star. Your shapes had arms and legs and a face. I would appreciate it if they were the same style. Please let me know.

Thanks.

I just took a look, and those shapes are from DJ INkers.

I do have a shape set, but mine are in a 'scrappy' stylehttp://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Scrappy-Shapies-Clip-Art-for-2D-Shapes-714002

I sent a plain set out to my Premium Club over 12 months ago, but have never listed them in my store here. I will try to find time to get them listed.

Many thanks for your question!

Hi This is a question about 'letter font boxes' and your blends font. I'm wanting a font box for phonics letter patterns (ai, le, ay, ly, sh, th, ph, qu, gy,igh, tch, ear, eigh, all, ind, dge, tion, sion, cial, que, cious, ought, ould etc) 1) Will your 'blends font' do this? 2) I especially want to be able to type words and have the phonic letter patterns boxed together to help kids identify the teams. Does yours just create empty boxes to my word pattern, or can I also type words -- the sample shows blanks only. 3) Ideally I'm also looking for #2 above, but to have a 'trace font' so the kids can write over it.

Thank you.

Also on your Kids Alphabet Graphics, the small letter t is upside down. Cute set but not workable. Thanks Dona

Hi Dona
The free alphabet you are referring to, took me 8 hours to create and list. I used a decorative font that has some letters made in a scrappy whimsical style. I can assure you, there is no way for me to type upside down, so this in fact is the way to 'T' appears in the font'. Users can however simply rotate graphics and images in any software they are using. Thanks for offering some feedback, I just wanted to let you and future customers know that this product is in fact, entirely usable, and best yet, offered free as a gift from my heart!
Have a great day
Kind regards

I could include a link in the details of everything I sell if I need to. I don't think this in considered a logo but please let me know if you want me to take it off.

I'm looking for some Aussie animal clip art :-) I have your alphabet bundle which has some but I was wondering if your could come up with a set that has more.......I've been wanting to make some Aussie animal resources for a while but there is not much out there and the world needs to know about our beautiful animals :-) Is this something you'd be interested in doing?
Thanks so much!!!!!!!!

HI Mel-
So sorry to be a pain. Now when I convert, half of the it comes out Ok and there other half no- and its all the same font- PondFriday. I could not get PondLime to embed/convert. I didn't try any others, because I figured it would be the same. I even talked with someone from Microsoft. Any suggestions? I know you use your fonts in your products, so there must be a way and I am just missing it!
Thanks!

Hi!
I purchased your fonts classroom pack- love them! But I have a problem- after I created a product using them, I went to convert it to PDF and the font completely changed! Any advice on this?
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for purchasing from us...
It is possible that your fonts are not being embedded.
Depending on the method you are using to create your pdfs. You may have to Make sure you check the 'Embed fonts' and 'Subset fonts' to 100% in your file options.

Take a look in the settings when you go t o convert and see if there are any options like that, otherwise please get back to me so I can help you sort it out
Kind regards

Hi!

I just purchased my very first font, but my computer says, it can't install it. It contains an unvalid font (my translation from Danish). I have MS Word 2010. In Danish we have the letters Æ,Ø and Å. Is that a problem?

Kindly, and thanks for the nice grapics you make. I use it a lot:)

No problem.
Did you unzip the folder before you tried to install the font?

Wow you are quick to reply!! :) I understand...I was just confused by the wording I guess. Two more questions...

1. How do u prefer the credit for your work to appear?

2. If I save each power point slide as a png, then combine them in adobe, then save them as a PDF in adobe....is that protecting the images enough?

Anything in pdf will be great security, if possible add protection to your pdfs so that the images cannot be extracted. This will be in your security settings.
Just a line that says:
"Graphics From the Pond - http://frompond.blogspot.com" on your 'credits page' would be ideal :)
Thank so much for checking
Kind regards

Open Wide the World  (TpT Seller) re: Pond Fonts Mega Pack - Fonts for Personal and Commercial Use
I see Angelica has beat me to it... I was going to ask: is there any chance your fonts include the Latin-1 supplement characters? Besides the ones she mentioned, I also need French and German accent marks when buying fonts. Keeping fingers crossed for a big "Yes" on this one!!!
Thanks in advance, Julie

TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I started 'Graphics From the Pond' to combine my love of drawing, design and teaching! Through my work on digital teaching resources, I came to see a need for fun graphics that were not too "busy" - so that the actual content of the resource could shine through beyond the graphics.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I love designing graphics that are fun, simple, bold, clean, clear and crisp!

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I have a double degree, B. Teaching B. Social Science

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

I have taught in the K-2 area since 2001 and have nurtured my interest in drawing and design since childhood. My parents are both very creative people and have worked in design focussed areas.
