Jennifer Dibbert (TpT Seller) re: Doodle Papers with Frames- Clip Art
Hi! I love your frames but before buying them I want to ask you further clarification on your TOU statement "You may use the frames for personal or commercial use and freebies on Teachers Pay Teachers." If I wanted to create an Alphabet Game pack and use some of your frames for a few of the pages, could I then sell this product that I made with your frames on TpT for a price? Or must it be a freebie? Thanks
Hi Jennifer! Thank you! Yes, you can use the frames for items you sell for a price or items you give away for free. Either way just make sure you credit me somewhere in your pack! I hope you enjoy the frames!! If you have any more questions please feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com. Thanks! :)

ashdwhite re: Sea Scallop Doodle Frames
I purchased the Sea Scallop Doodle Frames. I have downloaded the zip file, but there are is only a file for the user agreement. Can you please help me figure out why I don't have the file with the frames? I downloaded it twice. Thanks!! Ashley
Hi! I am sorry about that! If you would open a ticket with TPT they will help you out! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if they don't help resolve the problem for you! Thanks! :)
This made my day! You are too sweet! Usually people ask questions because they are having trouble with something so it was so refreshing to have something positive to read! Thank you so much!!

Curious Jones (TpT Seller) re: Festive ColorsDoodle Frames
These are my new favorites! Can I use them on just the cover page of a power point?
I wanted to check before I moved forward. It would just be the first slide and would be secure as part of the background so noone can remove it.
Gwen
Hi! Thanks for asking!! They can only be used in a powerpoint if they are locked down with something else (like text, pictures, etc.) into a png or jpeg image. Just so no one that has your product can remove the frame for their use. I hope this helps! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if you have any further questions!
Hi I can't download your chevron fonts. I have tried several times. Not sure what else to do. Is there a special trick? I love this font and am dying to use it for my school project. Thanks. My email is aparker@oakridgeschools.org. Thanks.
Hi! Well, I'm not quite sure what you are asking but here goes... First off, they are doodle frames and thus many of the sizes are irregular. In Word, go to insert>picture>from file and choose the frame. You can also have the file open and drag the frame into your document. I hope this helps!! If not, please feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I would love to help!! :)

littlefolkgal re: Whirly Doodle Frames
I am interested in your "33 frame designs that were on your blog. I can't seem to link to TPT for this item. Are they available?
Hi there! I updated the package to include 38 frames! Here is the link:http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Doodle-Frames-Bundle-38-Designs I hope you like them!
Hi there! I absolutely love your stuff!!! I am so glad I purchased your borders! I tried to find your email on your blog, but I couldn't, so I decided to message you on here. I also am new to teaching and new to creating, so I want to make sure I am following your terms of use correctly! I read that you can't change the colors of anything. So, does that mean I can't put background color behind the border or a glow behind it? Thanks so much and I hope you are having a great first year!
Kathleen Schill
Hi Kathleen! Thank you so much!!Basically I ask that the white/black part of my frames not change (like photoshop them to be different colors)... but you are more than welcome to put something behind them or on top of them like a background or glow. Does this make since? Please feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if you have any more questions! I would love to help! I hope you enjoy the frames!! :)

jessapplegate re: Chevron Papers with Frames
My files for the Chevron Papers with Frames say they cannot open because they are damaged or are not a supported file type. What do I do?
I am new at this... Can fonts (as well as your frames and backgrounds which I LOVE) be used on my blog for banners, buttons, etc. as long as appropriate credit is given? Thanks!
Hmmm... I haven't put much thought into this... Not at the moment, but if you will send me your email address I will let you know if I ever decide to allow it! Thanks for asking! teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com

Tanya Solano (TpT Seller) re: Lots-a-Dots Clip Art Border Frames
Hi Amanda,
Just wondering if the borders can be rotated to fit landscape pages as well as the original portrait? I'm new to all of the digital graphics and have been running into some issues with the page layout capabilities.
Hi Tanya! Yes, they can be! Are you using word? If so, you should see a green dot above the center of the frame. Click, hold, and turn however you need it to be! If this isn't what you meant or if you use a different program, please feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I would love to help!! Thanks! :)

kmirwin re: Chevron Name Plates
Ok...I can't figure out how to change the text on the paper. Maybe I am an idiot but could you please help?
Hi!! No, you aren't! The name plates are in PDF format meaning nothing can be added to them. Thus, they are designed for text to be written on them once printed. Hope this helps! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if you have any more questions!! :)

Mrs Satt (TpT Seller) re: Lots-a-Dots Clip Art Border Frames
I wanted to clairfy something...you said these could be used for freebies on Teachers Pay Teachers. So, I cannot use one of these borders in a document that I am going to sell right?
Hi Amanda! I purchased a frame bundle pack yesterday from you. Thank you for your wonderful file! Since I am a new seller, I have two questions for you for clarification. First, I used a simple frame for each page of a file I created. I filled the frame in with one color with Paint, is that okay? (You had said in the directions to not alter the color of the frames.....I filled it in). Second, the directions say use for personal, commercial, OR freebies on TPT. Can I use it to charge on TPT? Thanks for your time, I want to do this right.
Thanks again, Alison
Thank you so much for asking! I'm sorry, but I do not allow the frames to be altered in any way, including filling in with a color.
Yes, by commercial use I mean products you wish to sell. So, you can use them any products you wish to sell or give away!
Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify and get things right :) Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! I will be glad to help!!
How do I insert one of your frames on top of a background? For example I want to have a Thanksgiving background, then one of your frames in the middle with text inside the frame. Is this possible?
Hi! To use them in word, go to insert, picture, and browse for the frame you want to use and change the size to work for you. Next, right click select arrange-- bring to front. It should now be in front of your Thanksgiving paper for good! Here is a link for more information: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/insert-and-position-graphics-in-word-documents-HA001034916.aspx
Please let me know if this helps!! If not, feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com Thanks!!
Hi, I just became a new follower your stuff is so cute. I'm trying to put together a clip art 200 follower giveaway and was wondering if you would be willing to donate any of your products? I will link back to your blog and have them follow you if you would like or your store?
Let me know,
Rikki
Hi! I would love to donate any of them! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and let me know what I can do to help! Thanks so much!!
Amanda
I am having the same problem - not sure why. Your other downloads are working fine. This one is REALLY frustrating though! Especially since I was planning to use it tonight for a project. Help please! Thank you.
Hi Christi! I am so sorry! I am not sure why the file isn't working. Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I will email you an unzipped file! Thanks!
When you say that you cannot alter the colors of the frames does that mean you cannot add a "glow" to them with an outline? Just want to make sure before I purchase :)
Hi Laura! I'm not exactly sure what you mean... if you mean like a shadow, that is perfectly fine! If you don't mind, email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and let me know a little bit more about what you are talking about! Thanks!!

MrzC re: Flower Petals Doodle Frames
Hi, I purchased your Flower Petals Doodles Frames minutes ago, which I love by the way, and when I try to open the file I'm getting an error message saying that windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination file could not be created. I've downloaded and unzipped several files from this site so I'm not sure what's causing the problem. Can you give any advice?
Hi! I am sorry about that! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I will get that fixed for you!! Thanks!!

MsT1908 re: Lots-a-Dots Clip Art Border Frames
Hello!
After purchasing and downloading your Lots-a-Dots Border Frames; the zip files will not open. It states that "Windows cannot complete the extraction. The destination file cannot be created." I went & downloaded an updated version of an application to open compressed zip files...it still would not open. I am not sure what the problem is. I have purchased & downloaded other zip files with no problems. Please help!
Hi! It is a font called Pea Summer Funkyness from kevinandamanda.com.

Hi there!
I bought the doodle bundle of frames. I don't know how to insert them into a word document while still being able to add test. I thought that by purchasing these frames I would be able to add a border to a lot of my notes home to parents and such...can you help me, please?!
Hi! To use them in word, go to insert, picture, and browse for the frame you want to use and change the size to work for you. Next, go to insert, text box, and type your text. Make sure your text is in front and black so it can be seen. Sometimes my text is automatically white... Also, make sure you select no line color for the text box. Here is a link for more information: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word-help/insert-and-position-graphics-in-word-documents-HA001034916.aspx

Hi!! I'm really sorry about that!! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I will get that fixed for you!!

Janae Van Orman (TpT Seller) re: Owl Number Posters- Touch Dot Numbers
I LOVE THESE! My only hesitation for buying them, is that some of the numbers aren't in the format we teach (mostly the 4). Any chance you would make them with the standard format?
Hi!! I have not been able to find a font free for commercial use that has the standard 4 used in touch math. Do you by any chance know of one? If so, I would love to change them! I hesitated in making them because of that reason, but I put the four in the preview so customers could decide! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com and I would love to fix them!

rtyrrell re: Chevron Classroom Pack
Hi Teaching in a Small town, I just bought this adorable Chevron pack and was wondering if there would be a way to get a BLANK sheet of the small rectangular labels, kinda like you did the chevron border papers(so we could type in them) or at least a blank page of them that we could write our own stuff in? .....I have SEVERAL labels I still need, and would like to use them as name labels as well for my students.....Thanks so much for your help! I really love them!

rdgarza1113 re: Doodle Frames Bundle- 140 Frames
What size are the frames? If I wanted to use the frame as a border overlay on a photo, would that photo need to be 4x6 or another size? Can the frame size be edited?
Hi! The frames are resizable. So, for instance in Word, you can pull and stretch the frame to fit the size you are looking for. Most of the frames work best in rectangular sizes. Please let me know if this helps! If you have any more questions please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com!
Thanks!!

Kalba re: Chevron Papers with Frames
I am able to download the paper into word, but having trouble making it fit the whole page. Any suggestions?
Hi! In Word, each corner of the image has a dot. Just click and hold that dot and you should be able to stretch and pull the image to fit your size. Please let me know if this helps. If not, email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com.
Amanda
Is there a trick to moving around the frames? I can change the size and rotate, but when I select the frame to move it, it won't budge. I've played around with the layout, etc. but can't seem to find a solution. Thanks!
Hi! For the clear frames you have to click them on the black line. It can get tricky sometimes! For any frames with white in them, you can click where the white is and move it. Please let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions! Thanks!! teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com

kelliem1999 re: Clip Art Swirly Doodle Frames
I was just about to ask you the question below, I so often struggle opening things on our new Mac. I just want to make sure that once I am able to download and use, am I able to type within the border?
Thank you!
Yes! I use a mac, too! You can open Finder, select your file, and drag it into either Pages or Keynote. I find it easier to work with them in Keynote. Then it's basically the same. Insert a text box, make sure it is in front, and you are ready! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if you have any problems. Thanks!!

leannjackson re: Doodle Frames Bundle- 140 Frames
How can I put a textbook inside the frame and print? I would like to make folder covers but I'm not sure how to do this for these as well as the chevron frames. They have been downloaded and are now on my desktop. Thanks!

Hi!! For my clip art frames/alphas/papers, yes, they can be used in products with credit. For other things such as my calendar/flashcards/labels, they are for your classroom use only! Hope this helps! Please email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com if you have any more questions!! Thanks!! :)
Hi! It is not an adobe file. The frames are images in PNG files. They will open with the program "Preview." You can also view them in Finder. If you would like to use them in Pages or Keynote, drag the file from Finder into your document. Please let me know if this helps! If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me at teachinginasmalltown@gmail.com .

Hello!

I am making some posters for my classroom. If you could please help, I would appreciate it. Thanks! -Melissa

Hi! My name is Abby Mullins and I blog at www.theinspiredapple.blogspot.com. I am *in love* with your shop! I just purchased your Doodle Frames Bundle, and wondered if you'd be interested in doing a giveaway on my blog? I'd love to promote your shop! If not, I'll still be giving you a shout-out, but just thought I'd ask. Email me at babblingabby@gmail.com if you're interested. Thanks so much!!! Love your stuff!!!
Thank you SO very much for giving me a shout on your blog recently!! I truly appreciate it!! :) I sent you an email a while back, I'm not sure if you received it. I would love to do a giveaway at some point if you are still interested!! Thanks so much!!
Hi! I love your free 2012-2013 calendar! Thank you so much for making it! I was wondering if you have it in the portrait format? It's a little easier for me to use in my plan book. Thanks in advance!
Im so glad you do!! I do not have it in portrait format at the moment, but that would be a great idea! I'll start working on one and let you know when it's up!

Hi I love your owl number posters. I would love to put them up in my classroom next year, but I would really like to have a "10" to go along with the numbers 0-9. Is there any chance you could make one and add to the posters? If so, I will definitely be purchasing.
Im so glad you like them! I would love to add a 10 but I'll be honest... I have never seen the number 10 with touch dots. Exactly where would the dots go? Let me know and I will work on creating one! Thanks for the idea!
