TpT Seller Challenge: Makeover Madness

I am LOVING the TpT Seller Challenge going on right now! Week 1 is Makeover Madness which is fantastic because that is EXACTLY what I am working on ALL the time this summer!  

I opened my store in 2011 and there was not a lot of clip art, backgrounds, borders, covers, frames, etc. to choose from..I mean could you image creating without all those KG fonts and Creative Clips to choose from...products just weren't as pretty as they are now.  So, needless to say I have a pretty large task on my hands this summer.

I am starting with some of my top selling products and one that I get a lot of change requests on...my Science Notebook!  

This notebook still has it all...posters, a bookmark and a TON of half page resources perfect for kindergarten and first graders to complete and place in their composition notebooks...like I used them for.
 Well, it's my product so let's dig into the negatives shall we, 

1. The cover...not so pretty and no logo.
2. The posters...actual their not bad!
3. The printables...half pages ONLY...really?!?!  What was I thinking??? I had SO MANY teachers love them and so many teachers ask for the full page versions...well, I didn't make any...oops!
4. Clipart...I LOVE this clipart, but it was not made for print and did not come in black in white.


So, here are the changes I made, 

1. Square image with previews and logo.
2. Poster...fresh look!
3. Full and half page of all pages!
4. Add clipart and borders to all the printables...so, so pretty!

This product looks SO MUCH BETTER and I so happy with how the changes made this product look like a million bucks...don't worry that's not what I'm charging for it!!  Be sure to check my {Science Notebook} out on my TpT Store!

If you are a TpT Seller be sure to join the challenge with these fabulous bloggers...

  8. Your science notebook was one of the very first products I ever purchased on TPT when I was getting ready for my first ever teaching job. I am so excited to see these updates to an already fabulous product :)
