    Ladies I am SOOOOOOOOO in love with monograms. I HAVE to have one. I really want to get one that is a stamp that I can use for mulitple projects.

    Have any of you ladies tried to DIY? If so, any suggestions of where I should start? Know anyone that could do a monogram and then put on a rubberstamp?

    ANY ideas or resources are greatly appreciated!!!

    THANKS!!!!!!!!

    We designed one in Adobe Illustrator.  We haven't finalized it yet, but are planning on finding someone on Etsy to make it.

    @Donnica22: if you print the word document to a pdf printer, it makes it a pdf and then you can open it with photoshop and convert to a jpeg...

    @Donnica22: yup! no prob! :-)  some of the newer word programs, you can just save as a pdf....depends what version you have.... also if you don't have a pdf printer you can download a free one online.... i use "PDF995"....

    I just designed one in powerpoint, then saved the file as a jpeg... I also put out an alchemy request on etsy to have it made into a rubber stamp and got back several offers.  It worked out great, I used the monogram on our invitations, programs, escort cards, and even had postage stamps made to use on our thank you's.

    Microsoft Publisher lets you save as JPEG too -- you can usually copy and paste right from Word to Publisher, too. :)
