kaesmom,
When I originally asked the question in the first post of this thread, I was trying to do the same thing. When Jancy answered me I remembered that I had it already in an installed font. So don't feel stupid .. I think we all have mental blocks some times. Glad to know you have it figured out. When you get your Palm tree finished let us know.

I did the palm tred. Now I need to figure out how to post it. It's just a basic tree - it was the double lines that were driving me nuts!!

Ok, so how do I upload the image? It's not a jpg - it's an svg file (and now an scut file). I have PSE2.0 but I can't open either of those files with PSE so I can't convert it. how have you all been doing that?

do a screen capture (print screen) & open that in your photo editing software. you can save it as a jpeg from there & post a jpeg here.

that's what I do. I do crop the image down so that all you see is the file image.

OH---fill the areas with color & change the view mode to outline (view: display mode: outline)

Ok, the print screen I was able to do. But changing the colors was beyond me.



ETA: ok now I see where you explained how. I had already shut down inkscape and was doing a screen print from SCAL. So this will have to do.

great job!

so when are we going to the Bahamas so we can put that file to good use?

After what it took me to do that, I deserve to go to the Bahamas!

Actually, I originally downloaded that font so I could use the tropical images for my cruise scrapbook. but i've since finished taht scrapbook and never got the hang of doing this!! Oh well. Now that I know how to do it, I'll have to take another cruise.

You go girl! I have never been on a cruise.. but 3 trips to Hawaiin Islands... Oahu, Mauii and Kauai... Love those trips .

You did awesome! AND your one step ahead of me! I've never done the screenprint thingy!

okay, so I have no idea how to use inkscape, so when I saw this thread I thought I'd definately be able to figure out how to get a dingbat into inkscape...but I still have NO idea how to do it! I select the font I want....but when I put my cursor on the screen, the font changes back to SANS (default font or something??) I don't know! Like I said, I'm completly clueless so if anyone wants to try and elighten me, please do so.

wooohooo, I figured it out!!
