Checking in...is it ok if I do one tag and one mini file folder instead of 2 tags??? I'll be doing a topper and 4 squares in addition to the tag and mini file folder - just couldn't get my printer to print the right shade that I wanted to complete another set of 13 for the tags so I worked on a file folder (which I think is alot cuter than the tag actually)....

I'm easy either way

I have my designing done and will begin cutting when I can get back to my computer for it. My little brother is visiting and has confiscated it during the day for video games.

I have done sooooo much on the N and have decided I did not like the concept. I decided to try another path and ordered some different things.

I plan on sticking this in a bag with me to work on during my trip to and from WDW.

Checking in! I just got my new 12 inch cutter from Creative Memories. All I need to do is cut the cardstock and double mat the toppers and the lyrics.

I may work on them tonight if I have time. DS is turning 3 on Sat. and we are having a big Pirates of the Caribbean themed party!! I need to sweep, mop and clean the bathrooms! Maybe even dust a little LOL!

Cut your Bazzill last because that stuff EATS blades I've just bought two new blades for mine (having already swapped the straight cutter blade for BOTH wavy blades). Cutting foil helped a little, sandpaper just made a mess and DH has yet to try sharpening for me.

Mailed today. I sent mine in a box -- I sent an equal amount of postage. Is that right?

Yikes! I was working on my toppers and I realized they are supposed to be 12 inches. Mine are only 9 inches.

I guess I will head back to Archivers to get more paper.

Is anyone willing to share photos? I printed my topper out on vellum and then double mounted it on the Bazzill Bling paper. Making it bigger seems awkward so I am wondering how big the font is when you make it 11 inches?

I guess I should go play around in Word.

THanks for the tip about the cutter Mazda UK it's good to know you can get more blades.

9 inches is fine.

Hold on! I thought the toppers were supposed to be a max of 8x2"???? that's what was on the description in the sign up page when I first read it...and reread it and reread it again to make sure I was making the right size - so please can someone clarify - finally finished L and am nearly half way done with J - just have to put my library folders together (hard to get the edges to stick down when using bazill - the card is so tough!) and assemble the topper. It'll be major work if I have to redo the toppers....

1 Topper – min 4"x4" up to 8" by 2"

Yup, Is what it says. Even if they weren't I don't think anyone would make you redo them.

 

[SusieStone]

I was in a panic till I looked up the post and saw up to 8 ..... I was so woried that it was 12.

Just checking in. I have prototypes done but I have to get some colors of Brazzil for things when I am in Fort Lauderdale this week and then I can get to work making these.

Checking in, I haven't cut my pieces yet, can we get a clarification on the toppers/borders size? I don't want to make the wrong size.
Tks

that is true. If the 9 inch is too long I'm sorry, I jumped the gun in saying they were fine. Is everyone okay with a 9 inch boarder? I'm sorry I didn't go and read the front page, I've got a doctor's visit today to get some new meds,

As I haven't even got a Disney vacation to scrap yet I can just buy an album to fit when I do

that's sounds fine, to me, I'm reading clearly now, at least for a few hours.

Please package all elements in 13 zipper-top bags. (The 12” borders may not fit into a gallon zipper-top bag easily. You may wrap those in plastic wrap & seal with tape. Your other elements should still be placed in a zipper-top bag.) This is to prevent water damage in transit.

include return postage and $ if you want delivery confirmation.

Oh Dear! I am sorry I was confused and I apologize for alarming everyone! I thought the toppers were supposed to be 12" after I read the above.

I will make the toppers 8" by 2"

So sorry!
