how to start

[grumpy&princess]

I love desinging things and wondered what are you all using to make all of your designs. I would love to try my hand at it. thanks

Well, let's see, for our Grand Gathering trip in May I have made (so far!) 2 sets of shirts for everyone, shirts for the kids, autograph books for the kids, Epcot passports, DDR cards, DDR invitations, luggage tags, Fun Books for the car, a Journal for my DD to keep up for school, and today I will be printing more images for MORE shirts, plus magnets for everyone's cars! It is highly addictive!!! Oh, and I even found a personalized design for a sippy cup! It's great! Have fun!

It just cost me $160 at AC Moore for tshirts and transfers & I am not finished yet. That doesn't include the two ink catridges & 2 packs of 4x6 cards I used. But we willl be Stylin, I say Stylin, when we go walking down Main street. Can't wait.

But to answer your question, go to the top of the thread to the stickys and they will send you to places for clip art (gifs). They will also offer you some crash courses on how to do the designs. You can also do google searches for images. You can make everything mentioned above or only one thing. Have fun.

Penny, I too have spent about a zillion dollars getting ready!!! But someone suggested Jiffy shirts online, so I gave it a try - can we say less than $2/shirt for plain white Hanes Beefy T's and, get this, I ordered last Thursday afternoon and they were here Friday!!!! They look great - I wish I had gotten them all from here instead of JoAnns and Wal-Mart. I can't remember who posted that website but THANK YOU whoever you are! Oh, and the more you order, the cheaper they are!
