Getting my LGMH today!

[Belle Ella]

OH - Don't cut out the cardboard - just run the LGMH under some water and the head part will come right off the cardboard. I would have gone crazy cutting out the shape for mine. Good Luck.

I meant cutting the laminate The LMGH just peeled right off of the cardboard no problem.

Well we went to Office Max last night to get some ink for the photo printer and I got my mickey heads laminated. It cost $1.10 for 4 and the guy did a great job. If you glue 2 together back to back I would give them a day or so to dry first- 2 of mine I had just glued and it smeared into the laminate. I just cut that off though and they look fine.

I need to re-make mine, because I forgot to write in my screen name! But it's double-sided (I used two of them) and laminated. I probably wont cut that shape around and just leave it a rectangle with rounded edges and then put a hole in between the ears to attatch it to my bags.

I was close to doing the same thing, when it looked like something was missing.

That looks awesome!! Did you laminate it yourself? For the life of me I couldn't get it to cut the way I wanted it to and the shape came out all wrong. I love the beads too, I think I'll have to go and find me some!

As for our countdown calendar, it's officially done except for the counting down part. I posted this on our PTR, but here it is:

^ Can you tell I got lazy somewhere ...

I went back into HD today and grabbed a huge stack of LGMH's so I can play around with them until I've made one that I actually like. I'm so picky!

Cute! Nice job!

I got some of those credit-card sized laminating pouches, but they didn't stick together so well when I cut around my LGMMHs.

I put them together with stickers, my screen name, etc. and hung them off my messenger bagg. Then I didn't see any others at all while we were there!

DH watched me for awhile while I was fussing around at the dining room table with my LGMMHs.... stickers, pony beads, ribbon, markers and laminating pouches strewn all around me... I was painstakingly using an exacto knife to cut mine out (wish I'd known about that water trick!). After silently watching for a couple minutes, he murmered, "It's an illness."

Here's mine:

We used to have a small laminator, but for the life of me I don't know where it went, so I used clear contact paper. It really seemed to work fine. And thanx for all the nice comments!!!

Love the countdown calendar....those paint samples work for all sorts of things!!!

We need some stuff for the house and dh was going to go to a different store, but I told him we had to go to Home Depot tomorrow instead. LOL I didn't tell him why or I'd get "the look" while I tried to explain.

I guess my problem is the stuff that I'm using is too thick. I have some thinner contact paper leftover from a previous project, so I'll give that a try with them tomorrow morning when I get home from work (boo on whoever decided my job needed an overnight shift). Then I'll have to see if I can figure out how to tie the string like that and add beads because it's so cute!

I used the contact paper they have with the kitchen stuff. It's not totally clear, but it works. Good luck with yours. Make sure you post a pic of it when it's done!!!

Cool I'm taking them with me to work tonight to give me something to do while I'm on my breaks and lunch (since there's nothing good on TV at 2 in the morning). Let's see if I remember to do it correctly this time.
