Thank you! I was just wandering how to do that. I orered an Uppercase Living catalog (vinyl home party company) to get ideas and they had some things done in a spiral so this is great.

Hi, thanks for the note.

Please be sure and post what you do with the vinyl, I'm still looking for more applications.

Thanks Laura. Your design is wonderful. As soon as I saw it I saw stickers. pages and pages of stickers. Now I just need to figure out how to make a grid that I can place them into to cut or just wimp out and buy label sheets.

I appreciate you sending it along and "sparking my imagination" yet again.

cheers,

Susan

papasue,
I just watched a video where a lady printed some text with an Avery label template in Printmaster (or some such) and then made a DS template to match. She used a very lengthy procedure but it got my wheels turning. Since so many programs use these avery templates (word, printmaster, printshop, publisher, and on and on) if we could make Inkscape (maybe inkscape already has some?) and/or SCAL templates to match then it would be easy to cut out multiple printouts of stuff combining the avery print template in whatever program you like with the matching inkscape or scal template to cut and using the hinge method to line them up. Maybe this would work for your stickers.
