I have a second blog to showcase my digital design work - Lazy Cow Designs

I often give away digi scrapping 'freebies' via links in this blog. I don't blog there a lot, so mostly the traffic is non-existent but when I post a freebie I can get upwards of 800 hits to that post. Now I post the freebies as a way to promote my digi scrap designs but I thought it would be nice if I could make a little blog money on the side from them as well... yes greedy greedy I know! 

So what would be the best ad for a blog like this?

I'd normally just pop a blogher ad on there as I like the way these ads look, and they've made me a enough 'play money' on my picklebums blog to pay for my web hosting which is all I am really after.... but they are not open for new advertisers at the moment so I am looking at other options...

all suggestions greatly appreciated

I was going to suggest blogher.   

Any other programs seem to rely on clicks and/or sales. 

One of the affiliate programs I'm involved in has a few offers for "free" stuff (where you still get a small amount of money because it gives them a lead) that might appeal to your kind of traffic.  PM me if you want more info.

I wonder if there is much market for selling your own product to this market or whether they're only looking for free stuff?
