I don't think you're profiting from other's work, as you're charging for the
copying, not selling duplicates of the copyrighted/licensed items. If that
were the case the people that put out copy machines would have to have an
attendant watching what you copy to prevent them from being burned for
infringement. Besides, a person has certain boundaries for using
copyrighted/licensed items for their own personal use, where no infringement
on the owner's profits are involved. I made a Bambi/Thumper puzzle for my 
aby
daughter (the older wooden type) a few years ago from an easily available GIF
from AOL.
