Here you will find products with an outline of Santa on them, that can be colored and or painted in for some extra holiday fun.
When I was a kid, I loved painting and coloring in outline drawings on fabric. In those days, the only choices for color in designs were table cloths, pillow cases, and velvety pictures. Now the choices include t-shirts, canvas bags, aprons, quilt squares, and more.
Here are some fun coloring designs for one of our most famous characters, Santa Claus.
First up is Santa postcards. Your recipient(s) can receive a fun coloring activity in the mail. Markers for glossy paper can be a good choice for these.
Here Santa is on a canvas bag. Kids can color this ahead of time, with fabric paint pens, and use as their Christmas stocking.
For kids of all ages that like to wear their art, we have Santa outlines on tee shirts. You can choose any shirt style, color, and or size. Fabric paint markers can be used for adding color to these tshirts and also the aprons below. Be sure to place a flat sheet of cardboard under the fabric to prevent bleed through.
If you want to get in the mood for baking cookies, etc., we have an apron for you to color and don.
May you enjoy coloring fun for the holidays.

Art on Products - Pointillism Santa Claus by CherylsArt
For most people, the thought of Santa Claus brings thoughts of joy, wishes granted, and a time for merriment. This painting of Santa in Pointillism reminds me of all of this. He looks cheerful, artful, and content. If I were a child, I would love to receive a cute canvas bag with a picture of Pointillism Santa, filled with goodies of course. Do you have special thoughts of Santa and Christmas? Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Season and a thoroughly good New Year. Cheryl Paton CherylsArt www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/

Art on Products - Decorative Light Switch Cover Plates
Decorative light switch covers are an easy way to add an artistic touch and or a pop of color to a room. The dimensions are 3 inches wide by 5 inches high; they are .18 inches thick. They fit the standard U.S. single pole light switches and are made of durable acrylic. Four screws are included. Below you will find a variety of artistic designs by CherylsArt.
Sports fans that love basketball, will love these light switch covers. The basketball is shown going into the hoop. This is perfect for basketball fans. More sport options are in my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.
Animal lovers will adore these fun otters swimming through a teal green background. One otter is on the bottom left and the other is up at the top right. I saw these two critters swimming together on one of my vacations.
Another one for sports fans feature a simple baseball. I loved playing baseball with the neighborhood kids when I was growing up. I think we would all have enjoyed having a baseball light switch cover decorating our bedrooms.
For a more adult look, this turquoise and teal kaleidoscope design is a perfect choice for any room with a turquoise color theme. We have this one in our bedroom.
Here is how it looks on our wall. You can see from the shadow, that the top and bottom are a bit curved. There are two strips that go across the back of the cover plate, which happens to hit against the box in our wall. Depending on how your wall and light switch box are done, it could curve out a bit. It is not too noticeable, just wanted to be transparent. I would still buy these again, especially when I want to coordinate colors in a room.
For a look of love, this colorful layered hearts design will fit the bill. The hearts are shown in a variety of colors, with some of them having a lighter shade of that color layered on top of that heart. The colors include pink, blue, green, and red, on a background of yellow.

Art on Products - Star Stickers
Here you will find some fun star themed stickers.
The star is a simple shape, usually drawn with five points. To many, the star has also become a symbol of status, perhaps because we look up to them in the night sky and become mesmerized by their simplicity and brightness. A famous actor becomes a star. An A student becomes a star student. A great performance becomes a star performance. Beyond simplicity, the star has also come to represent excellence.
Excellence is rewarded for a job well done, with these double circles of colorful stars on stickers.
A fun way to give a reward is with purple stars that look like cereal.
For a super job, star shaped stickers will do the job.
To spread some thoughts about magic, the best messenger is a flying pink pig.
Whatever your occasion, stars can have a place to enhance the occasion. Click on any of the star stickers above to purchase online at Zazzle.

Art on Products - Happy Thoughts and Designs
I love happy thoughts and designs. I love looking at, giving, and receiving cheerfulness. I planted flowers along the edge of my backyard so I can see their vibrant colors when they are in bloom. How about you? Do you love cheeriness and happiness? If so, you'll probably like what I found when I searched on happy for this blog.
It's great to offer happy thoughts for someone's hobby, endeavors, etc., such as this happy gardening card. I had read a book that had mentioned that plants that had people focus on them, all other things being equal, grew bigger than the plants that didn't receive people's attention.
My garden makes me happy. I created this painting of leaves from some of the plants that I grow in my garden. They include blueberry, strawberry, basil, parsley, and carrot leaves.
There are many reasons to send happy thoughts throughout the year, occasions and holidays to celebrate, but sometimes its nice to get the unexpected wish of happiness. A card can be sent to wish someone a happy season.
Another important thing to celebrate though, is friendship. Life is so much better when we foster having good friends.
But wherever we are, whatever the occasion, and whatever time of the year it is, we can always find and or create happy. Because wherever we are, we are always connected to the spirit that connects us all.
May you find happiness and enjoy being happy every day of your life.
Update: Some products have been changed out due to broken links. Hope you enjoy the new selection.

Art on Products - Positive Affirmations
Here you will find some every day products with a positive affirmation printed on them. It's a nice way to think of a positive thought.
An affirmation is something that one affirms. The best ones are positive; they help the person to feel better and/or develop a more positive way of thinking.
A simple way of using affirmations is reading ones that have already been written, either by yourself or by someone else. To add some fun in reading affirmations, they can be incorporated with images. I find that having them with images is an easier way for me to make them part of my everyday life. : ) Sometimes it's a great reminder to just know that It's a new day. This handy magnet can go on the refrigerator for a daily reminder.
For those that like having a cup of morning joe, this mug can be the answer. You can choose any mug style.
Have you heard of Norman Cousins. Doctors didn't know how to treat or cure the symptoms that Cousins had. Norman decided to watch only comedies while he laid in the hospital bed. Norman's health began to improve and he recovered, just by increasing his laughter, which increased his good feelings. This large poster reminds everyone that Laughter is the best medicine.
Human touch is also important. Do you need a hug. The good news is that you don't have to wait for someone else to give you a hug. You can actually give yourself a meaningful hug. The text on these stickers says, Go ahead. Give yourself a hug and say I am deeply loved. If you didn't just give yourself a hug, do it now, and then say, I am deeply loved.
You don't have to think of something to smile about in order to smile. Sometimes just reading a reminder can help bring on a smile.
As you can see, there are multiple ways to encourage and reinforce the use of positive thoughts. Be sure to tell yourself some positive affirmations before you go, and give yourself a hug.
All the best to you.

Art on Products - Patriotic Shirts
Many countries have artistic designs that represent their patriotism. I am from the United States, and these are designs that I came up with to represent patriotism in the U.S.
The colors red, white, and blue, the colors of the U.S. flag, are common colors to represent a patriotic theme in America. On these tshirts, the stars are white and are outlined in blue. The tshirt that I chose is red.
I love my country and I think it would be great for everyone to love and respect all countries. With the patriotic flower design, I wanted to convey a new way of thinking; a love that blossoms and grows:
In the United States, our celebration of Independence is on July 4th. Many people celebrate with fireworks. This tshirt features my artistic display of star themed fireworks.
My next design features the first star design behind the USA flag done in pointillism.
In 2024 I used my pointillism flag design as the basis for this Kamala tshirt. Kamala Harris represents freedom and democracy.
Do you have an Independence or Freedom Day in your Country? When is it and how do you celebrate it?
Any of the above designs can be purchased on kids to adult shirts for both men and women, and also on any tshirt style, at my CherylsArt store on Zazzle.
Thanks for visiting.

Art on Products - Pointillism
I did a blog on polka dots; however this one is on a particular style of dots, called pointillism. The short definition of pointillism is painting a picture with dots. The dots themselves can be spread out, close together, random, overlapping, organized, one size, small to large, and/or various sizes. The dots can be round, or they can be odd shaped, as when one paints with the side of a paint brush.
This U. S. flag done in pointillism is an example of both organized and random dots, which is pictured on postcards.
The kayak scene, on a postcard, involved a lot of random and overlapping dots. It was inspired by a kayaking lesson that my husband took.
The pointillism, on the butterflies tank top, was made by single sized dots in a very organized manner with no overlapping. It gives a lace like look.
Pointillism can be used as an outline, as shown on the morning glory flower, on wedding invitations. It can be used to give elegant attention to an outline design.
Pointillism can also be big and bold, like on these fun and colorful birthday invitations:
I like various styles of pointillism, and I like the affect. My favorite type to paint is lots of random dots with colorful paint markers; it goes much faster.
Do you like pointillism? What is your favorite pointillism picture?
Check out more pointillism paintings by CherylsArt at Zazzle.

Art on Products - Cake Art Designs
Cake decorating people; this blog is for your. Choose from a variety of cake designs on a variety of products.
Today, cake decorating has taking on a whole new meaning, and cake decorators have become artists in their own right. Instead of painting on traditional canvases though, icing and fondant has become their canvas of choice. And the cakes have taken on a whole new dimension. Once traditionally round or rectangle, cakes can now be shaped like cars and sport racing stripes, or shaped like a cruise ship for a bon voyage. The cake decorator has become more of an artist.
When cake decorators don't have the time to design an artistic business card, what do they do; they take advantage of the talents from another kind of artist, and let them do the painting:
Then have more time to sit down an enjoy a beverage in a favorite cup:
So they can then get back to their other talent, baking wonderful cakes:
What can a bride do to carry last minute essentials along for her wedding day?
Grab a tote bag designed especially for her.
In joy.
