What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[bevtoy]

I think posting pictures that us computer dummies could use is a GREAT help and idea! Thanks!! Now can someone explain how to put words on the posters once I save it to my computer?

I use a card program such as "Print Workshop", it has the ability to add text to graphics.

The newspaper clipping is so clever. How did you do that?

Here are 2 door magnets I made for our first cruise on the Wonder in Sept.
I tried to think of something differnt and cute to do...
I have never posted pics before so I hope I did it right!

I'm no genius with this stuff, so I use powerpoint to make the signs. Once you've saved the picture you want to your computer you can just insert it into your powerpoint slide.

Then add a text box wherever you want text, and you are good to go!

You can either print from powerpoint, or turn it into a jpg by doing a

Edit-Select All - Copy

Open up Microsoft Paint then do Edit Paste

Save As - newfilename.jpg

I'm sure there are better more, eloquent ways to do it, but that's the only way I know how to do it for now.

Hi Kristen -

First of all I want to echo everyone else's comments - your work is AMAZING! and it's really sad that someone is doing what they're doing to you..not nice at all.

Secondly - I saw your work on your other website - again, great work! What would I need to do if I'd like to request your services to personalize some for me??

Thanks so much!

Thanks! I used Paint Shop Pro. It has a way to make things look like aged newspaper. I thought it would be cute to print up a few of them and put a new one out everyday. Sort of a running headline!

There are some tutorials on the internet on how to do them. Just type in "aged newspaper tutorial"

Sherrlon - How did you make the sign with Mickey & Minnie on the beach with the Wonder in the background? It is so cute. Did you use Paint Shop?

Thanks!
I used Paint Shop Pro.
To make Mickey and Minnie I used paint shop pro's tubes to make the water and sand. Then I just cut and paste Mickey and Minnie onto the background I made.
They have an "aged newspaper setting" under the effects menu. You can just make a newspaper black and white, then use the effects menu to make it look sorta older.

Can you crop the picture to omit the words? Or else place something with a colored background over them.

Donald & Daisy...

Look in the toobar for an "eraser" tool...and drag it over the words.
(It shouldn't take the background with it...)
I don't have Paintshop Pro but that works in photoshop

Here is the link to the pirate font. They have lots to choose from.

I just cropped good ol' Jack from a picture I found on the web. I can't remember where the background came from, sorry!

I am glad you like it!
