Scrappycruiser - you are almost there, you got it in photo bucket, now just go down to the bottom of your picture where it gives you the list of different codes, click on the one that says IMG code, that should automatically copy it for you. Then when you are writing your post, just right click and paste. Preview your post and you should see your pic in your post. Hope that helps a little.

What is the yellow scalloped edge and ribbon at the bottom used for? or are they just decoration?

Thanks for the help !!!!!

Happy to help! They are really cute BTW! Marci gives an excellent description of how to fix the problem, you just need the URL in the IMG tags - which you can copy directly from photobucket.

How much do those little clipboards cost? Did you then decorate it with your own paper and ribbon? Very cute idea!

The clipboards are $1 each at AC Moore. The clipboards were unfinished wood with a metal clip. I spray painted them black. I used my own Disney paper, added the coordinated yellow paper where I'll later add the FE persons name, cabin #,ship name and date. Very easy ! Then I added the regular size yellow post-it notes. Fun to use in the cabin or at home.

I looked up AC Moore, and apparently there are no stores anywhere on the west coast. Anyone know who else would carry this? Love your idea.

I would guess Michaels or maybe JoAnnes.

They don't have them on their online site, I just checked.

I was at my local Michael's and the only clipboards they had were the larger ones.

ebay?

At Staples they have the "memo size" clipboard. It's about 5.5" x 9" It is on sale for $1. until 3/26. Looks bigger than what I was looking for, but I got 1 to experiment with. Love all of your ideas.

Hi very talented Disers!
I'm not going on a cruise/doing a FE but I've spend HOURS going through this thread and saving "inspiration" pictures to my iPad! Makes me wish I was doing a FE!

Love all the ideas. This may have been mentioned earlier in the thread, but in case it hasn't I thought I would mention it as an idea, as my DS6 and I have spent all day yesterday making these - shrinkies/shrinkles (think they are called different things in different countries).

Basically a thin plastic sheet, that shrinks in the oven to create a thicker piece of plastic. We have used permanent sharpies in various colours, to trace Disney images from picture books, the iPad or computer screen that we've googled and coloured them in, cut 1-2 holes in them with a hole punch, then shrink. Our plan is to turn them into key rings and bag charms, but they could easily be made a little smaller and then added to charm bracelets (I know some people above had struggled to find mickey charms etc for bracelets - well a very easy solution is to bake your own! It's so easy and so fun watching them shrink). Think I paid about £5 for a classroom park from amazon, so there is plenty to keep me going!

Just thought I would share an idea. Keep up the creative work guys!

I grew up making this. They were called Shrinkie Dinks. I noticed they have come back recently. Never saw blank sheets though. The sets I have seen always had outlined images that you just color, bake and watch them shrink! (i believe that was the tag line too!)

I have a Mickey punch for scrapbooking. I wonder if that would 'cut' through the plastic.

Just looked at the sprinkles packet and it says they've had the copyright since 1987, so they have been around for awhile! I remember shrinking crisp/chip packets too and putting brooch pins on the back when I was young. I just love watching them shrink in the oven!

Thanks for the mickey punch tip, I have a small mickey hole punch that I'm going to try (I wonder if the holes will stay mickey shaped?) Although I presume you are talking about one of these fab cutters to cut the outline shape (I need to get myself to a craft store when I'm in Florida, as we are a little limited here!). The sheets of plastic are only the thickness of a photograph, so they should cut fine (they shrink to 7 times the size of the original picture, but the thickness increase x7)

The punch I have is about an inch. Creates the Mickey head and the outline is the 'waste'. Mine is EK Success brand Medium size.
