Thank you so much for the surfboards and deck chairs. You guys are amazing. I love them!

This stuff you guys are cranking out is fantastic, I need to learn how to do some of this myself.

I know Milliepie said she uses Photimpact Pro (any specific version?). tjbaggott, what software are you using? Is this stuff hard to learn?

Any guidance you could give me, as an absolute beginner mind you, would be much appreciated, as far as what software to start out on, etc. I'd really like to give this a try.

I use a program called Photo Explosion Deluxe, purchased at Costco within the past year. It was only $31.99 here in Canada, so likely costs less in the U.S.
For some of the curved texting on graphics, and picture filled text, I used Microsoft Word Art in Word, but tonight was my last day of the trial period for that program. I liked it though, so will look into purchasing that program.

O.K. I tried Word Art and got the Disney Font with a picture in the background but the picture overlaps. How do you get just what is inside the text?

Not too late at all. Thanks! However, you missed my husband John. Could you redo and add him? If not too much trouble. It looks great!

To tjbaggott:

Could you make one for me and my family? I thought I had posted something last week, but I can't seem to find it now.

Could is say "cruising the wonder" Sept. 6-10, 2009
My family is quite big (13 people)

The Greer's:
Kenny
Susan
Livvy
Micah

The Melton's:
Mickey
Lana

The Days:
Wendy
Cody
Kaylee

The Greenwoods:
Mark
Cari
Ali
Tanner

If it is too much trouble to do 13 deck chairs, could you possible make one for each family?

Thank you so much!

Susan

To tjbaggott:

These are great! I am new to this and am in the process of figuring out my fish extender and magnets. I would appreciate if I could have you make some images for me too. I love the Tinkerbell sailing one! We are the McNerney's and we are on the Disney Magic on June 6th - 13th. I was wondering if you do the individual names on various images? Thanks for all your help on this

There are many here on this thread that do the personalization for others upon request. Currently I'm on board for doing the Deck Chairs, Milliepie is doing the Surf boards and life preserver designs (I"m sure she'll pick up on your request for the Tinkerbell one). We can also post blanks for people to personalize themselves. This thread is full of a variety of designs and back on the first page, post #3, there is a link to the Cruise and Graphics Link Part one (this one here is Part 2), which also has some awesome designs.
Welcome to the Cruise Magnet Board!

Let me know if any of the info on these are not correct for your cruise.

Not sure what version of Photoimpact, I have had it forever. You can go to their website and download a free trial I think. Some people use Photoshop and I believe you can get a free trial of that too on their website.




Here is the one for Moulton Family..





And for Jeff and Janice

Any chance for Scotland Mickey Head??

I couldn't fit 13 Deck Chairs on the page, so I've split your group into two pages. Let me know if this is to your liking or if you would rather each family have their own separate page.

I'm assuming this is to make the Name Decoations with the pictures inside each letter? If I can remember the steps correctly (as I can no longer open my Word program, trial over), Once you have your letters on the page, put your cursor on the letter, right click, then select from the drop down menu, "Format Word Art" or "Format" (not sure exactly what it says other than format.
A window will pop up, then just look around on that till you find something that indicates "Fill with photo or picture". It's pretty easy to figure out from there. The only thing I haven't figured out is how to move the picture around so the right parts show through the letters. If anyone else here knows the "HOW TO" for that, can you post it here?

Some fonts have shaded areas. The Mickey font is one of those. In Word Art, it seems only the shaded portion of the letters is filled, not the inner portion. Try a font without the shading and see if it works for you. Also, once the letter is filled I have never found a way to move the picture around.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm confused here - are you talking about the name graphics such as those back on page 39 of this thread (Aaron, Jacob and Crystal (?) with Aladdin characters inside of the letters)? I'd love to be able to make those for my family.

Is Microsfot Word Art a separate program? In Microsoft Word, there is a WordArt function available on the drawing toolbar, but I suspect you're talking about a separate program here. How do you get a free trial on that?

And finally, how do you download additional fonts, like the Disney fint? And once downloaded, does it have to be parked somewhere specific in order to be accessible to Photimpact Pro, or Microsoft Word Art, or whatever?

WOW! Thanks for posting this. I tried it and it works. My kids are going to love the fact that I now know how to do this!!!!

Yes, I'm talking about Microsoft word. And like you said, The Word Art Function that is in there.

For fonts..

You need to move them into your fonts folder. C:\Windows\Fonts. Just drag and drop the font file right into the folder. Make sure that if the font was inside a ZIP file that you extract it from the zip archive first. If dragging it to the folder doesn't work then right click in the fonts folder and click install new fonts. Keep note of where you downloaded the fonts to so you can find them easier. Hope that's not too confusing.

I made this one using PhotoImpact. I removed the background of the letters with the magic wand tool and then I got the pictures I wanted and placed them behind the letters so it looks like they are inside.
In word, I haven't figured out how to move them around either.

Could you please make me one of these? However you think best to do wording....The Guessfeld's - Diane & Larry - Disney Magic - June 13 - 20, 2009?

I'm a single Mom and I am taking my DS (Larry) to celebrate his 8th Grade Graduation so if you have anything else you can do for that I would be most appreciative!!!!!
