Thankfully they don't protect all of their images so they can be borrowed relatively easily. Then I saved it as a .pub file and then saved it again as a .jpg so that it could be uploaded. Then I shrunk it down so I could paste it on here. Yes, I had some time on my hands today!
I think you can do just one image and the spoonflower website will replicate it, but I haven't played around with the site much.

WhiteDaisy, Is this how you do this as well?

I'm a photoshop girl for graphic design stuff. Still lots of by-hand manipulation & copying/pasting though.

Soooo pretty! I bet NPHC has rules about using letters/symbols, etc, but WD128: can you try your hand at one for SGRho, with poodles specifically?

I'll give it a go tomorrow perhaps.
I know there are licensing rules concerning symbols, letters, etc. That's why I don't think I'll actually make any of these for sale, unfortunately...

I've never used Photoshop but it wouldn't surprise me if it was easier to use than Publisher. Finding good, free clip art is a big problem I've run into so far. I recognize some of the graphics WD is using, but she's found a lot more than I have so far! I really got stuck with AGD, but I found a great graphic for either KD or Alpha Phi (or both?). We'll see if I have more time tomorrow. It's now midnight so I think it's bedtime for me!

Bummer. I would absolutely buy the SK stuff and gift my chapter Pin Pillows for their Bid Day baskets.
I've never sewed a quilt, but I can sew a straight line, and I can make polyfil my bitch!

Yeah, bummer! I would buy some fabric and donate it a local chapter for the women to use for letters or pillows, etc.

You might forward your designs to HQ and ask about permission to sell it - all they could say is no.

That's a good idea. I was investigating SpoonFlower some more and it appears that the "owner" of the fabric gets a 10% commission on all sales of his/her fabric...so I'm guessing HQs are going to say no...but it's worth a shot.
