I do allow small commercial use on specific products, such as digital papers and clip art, with a few caveats. Please visit my shop policies for a detailed list of how you can use your designs.

Once you make your purchase and send me all necessary photos, information and requests, you will receive a proof within 1-2 business days. If you request changes, you will receive subsequent proofs within one business day of your request. Once you approve your design, you will receive your final file(s) via email within one business day as well.

Please note that this turnaround time *does not* guarantee work on weekends or US federal holidays. Message me if you have concerns about time constraints.

Some simpler customized designs, such as banners with custom messages, do not require proofing. In this case, you will receive your final file(s) via email within 1-2 business days.

All of my invitation and announcement designs are proprietary and are always customized by me. I do not sell any templates that can be edited by the purchaser for repeated or commercial use.

If you plan to print your designs at home on a personal printer, here are a few tips to help you out:

☛ Wall art and photo invitations usually look best printed onto a matte photo paper, as the slight sheen from the paper gives it a crisper, more professional look.

☛ Any design that has a glitter or foil texture on it also looks best when printed onto matte photo paper, as it makes the digital texture appear more realistic.

☛ Banners, party decor, digital papers and most other designs look best printed onto white card stock.

☛ Tracing paper designs can be printed onto regular printing paper.

☛ Set your printer margins to 'zero' or 'borderless' for true-to-size printing on any design that is formatted as an 8.5x11 sheet.

If you plan on having your designs printed at a photo lab or print shop, here are a few suggestions to help you out:

☛ Mpix -- www.mpix.com -- For photo and card printing. Moderately priced, very nice quality.

☛ Office Depot -- www.officedepot.com -- For banners, party decor and other printing needs. Well priced, has a variety of quality papers to choose from and offers additional services, such as cutting, folding and hole punching. Offers both in-store pick up and delivery services. (You can often find online coupons for their printing services, too!)

Because many of my design sets contain multiple files, they must be compressed into a ZIP file in order to be downloaded from Etsy. The most common reason for being unable to open a ZIP file is because mobile devices do not support compressed files.

In order to extract the files from within a ZIP, you will need to use a computer (not a smartphone or tablet) and do one of the following:

> Mac OS: Simply double-click on the ZIP file to extract the files within.

> Windows 7/8.1/10: Right-click on the ZIP file, select 'Extract All' and follow the instructions.

Once you've extracted your JPGs and/or PDFs, they can then be shared with mobile devices for printing, if desired.

Unfortunately, no. Due to copyright restrictions, I cannot add logos or emblems to any of my designs that are the property of a business, school or other entity, including but not limited to the logos or mascots of high schools, colleges, universities or professional sports teams. I can, however, change colors of the existing design in order to coordinate with your particular school or team.

I am, however, currently licensed to sell branded designs of the United States Navy. I can add USN emblems to any design you wish.

Thank you for understanding and supporting ethical art!

No, you should not need a formal release form to have your design printed. However, if the printer requests a copyright release, you may simply show them your purchase receipt to prove that you have permission to print.

Every product that I sell is digital in nature and you will only ever receive it via instant download or, in rare instances, by Etsy message or email.

You will *never* receive any products by mail.

Please read each listing description carefully so that you can be sure that what you are purchasing is exactly what you were hoping for!
