Cruise Magnet graphics and links

[sftnslky]

I have made door signs on our last two cruises. Our first cruise I bought some really good/thick magnetic paper. On our second cruise I thought I was buying the same type but it was really flimsy and thin and the ink ran. so I just went onto ebay to buy some more magnetic paper for our up coming cruise and just noticed that there are diffrenct thicknesses...so is a higher number better or lower..which number means the paper is thick? Did any of this make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a blank for you. I hope you can use it. This is not my graphic--I believe I got it from Amlee on this thread. She was personalizing them for quite a few people. Good luck.

I don't know I usually go to Walmart and buy it. I would love to hear from others on this. I was hoping top find a source for quality paper besides Wal-mart be cause ours quit carrying it.

I have ordered from a site called www.decalpaper.com. I have ordered twice and never had a problem. I ordered the matte paper and the magnets came out great. I have an inkjet printer and I did not have problems with the ink running. When I ran out right before our cruise I went to office depot and bought a pack of their glossy. It was much thinner and the ink did run as well. Plus, they were alot more expensive. When I put them on the door, some got all scratched up and some got ruined. I still have the ones on matte paper. Hope that helps.

Here are a couple of pics:

Thank you-I got the bug. That was the first cruise I really got into the disboards and learned about the FE and door magnets. It was great to print them up. Alot of magnet paper and ink. We also did a family cruise last October, so a whole new set of magnets for the family. I did do alot without the dates so that I can reuse them. It was alot of fun making them.

Quick question..would you do magnets on the door for adult only cruise? We had 30ish for our family cruise last fall, but the next one is just my dh & i. Thanks

Wow, Judy! That door is sooo cool! How did you make your ears fro the room number, and how did you know what size to make them? I think I saw measurements somewhere before, but of course I can't find them now.

I found the images on another thread, saved the image, and printed as a full page photo, and it worked just fine. Here are a few:

I had a Minnie one somewhere, I can't seem to locate it right now. When I find it, I'll post it if you want.
