Good idea to test things out on paper first! I have some brown kraft paper rolls, so maybe I can turn my test prints into gift wrap...

misskohaku-Love the star jewelry! I've never seen star-shaped beads like those, before. I'll have to keep an eye out for some!

LovelyMiss- Crafting for Craft Hope is a great idea! I'll have to think about charity items for future challenges.

Now that my mind is clear (for the next week or so, I hope), I can concentrate on this swap a bit more. I'm hoping to start crafting a little bit this weekend!

ivoryh1632, let me know if you try the clear guide bit!

I just realized that the plans I had for silkscreening may be altered because I used the wrong blade setting on my Silhouette and cut through the cutting mat. I don't know if I can use it. I've ordered a replacement, but I don't think it'll be here in time...

I have no idea what to make for the Red vs Blue challenge. I need to think on that for a bit...

If you're using stamps I'd say a tailor's chalk grid is probably the easiest way.

Thanks! That's what I figured. I may attempt to do a silkscreen repeat, so I might try the chalk grid on that, too. Or, I might try to figure something else out ... Like burning a duplicate part of the edge of the image in the screen in the place I need it to align. Then, I can cover that part with clear tape and use it as a see-through guide. It depends on how complex my image is.

Love the BaZnGa!

It looks so crisp and I love the font! ha ha extra nerdiness because I am sure people ask you all the time what it means...

Thanks! I was pretty proud of myself for locating a font (Nasalization) that was a pretty close match. I wanted to wear it to work today (I teach 6th grade), but it wasn't dry when I went to bed, so I had to plan on something else. I'm wearing it tomorrow when I (finally) go to see Iron Man 3 with my siblings (my brother better wear the Arc Reactor shirt I had made for him, and my sister, who got me hooked on Big Bang Theory, better recognize the significance ).

Thanks! It was a nice, instant gratification project, and using the Silhouette cut the lines nicely. I tried to iron the freezer paper really well, so I didn't get a lot of bleeding, and I didn't put the paint on too thick.

Does anyone have any tips for lining up your print for a repeated pattern?

It occurred to me earlier that every time I've done a repeated pattern its just been all scattered and random and i really want to do this one straight and properly aligned

I was wondering the same thing. I was going to haul out the chalk and make a grid to follow, but I'm curious if there's a better way...

Thanks again for organizing, crazyda79!
