My kitty died 5 days before our cruise...so I made this and put it on our door...

DD6 and I were just looking at all of the door signs and we both LOVED yours! What a nice tribute to a beautiful fur baby. Bless your heart for having lost Max.

Floatmyboat: Were did you find that picture. That's exactly what we have been looking for. We will be on the 11 day Caribbean cruise.

Here is our door from the 07/23-07/27 Wonder Cruise. We had a fabulous time! Too much food! Bought little magnetic sandals from Oriental Trading which twinkled with different color lights on the door! They were really awesome looking! If you look hard, you can see the sandals.

If you cant see it for some reason, here are the links. ^^ Enjoy!

How cute! How did you get your blue background to stick? I was thinking of taking painters tape.

We used duct tape, and no paint was removed. Surprisingly, nothing was removed from the door, but we wrote our last name on each door sign/fish/boatwheel with permanent marker to avoid any theft. There were very few door signs on our cruise. It was a ton of fun to get the comments from our neighbors (So you're the one with the beautiful door!). Even the assistant captain said that he had never seen such a unique door! I even put the same background up for some of my fellow Disboarders who were on the cruise. The background was like a plastic tablecloth which was printed to look like the sea. We got it at Party City I think. It was sold as a background for a sailing party. The captain's wheel we got from Hobby Lobby. It was on sale for $6. We taped a magnet to it, and it stayed on the door with no problem. When we got home, we put all the signs and decorations back up on our laundry room door to the garage, which is also metal. It will help us keep the memory of our cruise alive for a while!

Hope you have fun!

Here's a stupid question flying your way...you taped it to the top and sides of the door frame right? I'm horrible. I'm a visual learner so I am descriptively challenged.

Here is one I am working on for Pirate Night.

DW does not like the font I used for the Headline, and I am not thrilled either. Does anybody have a good Pirate font they would like to share??? I have a Mac and most of the sites I found today just have Windows, or cost lots of $$$.

And before anybody asks, I took a Pirate Mickey Head in Black and changed the black to Dis-green. If you want a copy, just PM me with your e-mail address.

No problem. Yes, we taped it on all sides on the inside, so no one on the outside could see the tape. So we had to make it bigger that the door on all sides by about 3 inches. Hope that helps!

I received the attached PM from a fellow DIS'er overnight. I think it might be time I start looking for a new supplier to get my magnetic sheets from, please take caution.

I have just had something horrible happen to me and I know you need to know about it. I did in fact use the company Decal Paper.com to order my magnetic paper. My credit card was charged and my order was to be delivered Aug 2. For some unknown reason UPS sent me a notice that my delivery had been voided. I contacted Decal Paper 3 times to try and get it straightened out. Supposedly, this past Friday they sent it out. Now, I got a frightening email from a lady telling me that she had ordered some things and included in HER order was my mastercard number and other things about me. She said that she wasn't going to use the info but thought I needed to know. She was afraid that maybe her info was sent to someone else, too. I know that you have used them several times but you might want to reconsider using them again. I have contacted my bank and cancelled my card.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!

My last order from this same company was a little messed up, they had sent me the wrong material, after one e-mail and one phone call, the order was finally corrected. I didn't want to cause a panic, but I just thought I'd share this news with everyone.

Thank you for sharing this valuable news. How unfortunate that this has happened. VM, I'll be putting your post w/in the first post immediately. Let us know if you find another reputable supplier.

Just a tip, my DH is an engineer for Xerox so I have had a little help printing out my signs. But he has had me print out one copy on plain paper to make sure the color is right. Sometimes the color can print differently then what you see on the screen. By preprinting you can adjust the brightness, contrast or whatever may be off if needed prior to putting it on the magnetic sheet.

Verandah Man, thanks so much for the heads up.

alanapapa...try a font called 'Bavand'. I use it in PrintShop, don't know if other programs have it. I'm going to try a post a sample:

I am the person it happened to. All I can say is DON'T USE DECALPAPER.COM. I have been trying to contact them by phone today and they aren't answering. What a mess! And a scary one to boot. My bank has been wonderful helping me out though.
