Boy you are creative! Where did you find the ribbon? Is the frame and mat foam? Very Nice!

Thanks!

I got the ribbon off ebay (7/8") and I used cardstock so with the knot it will still fit in a frame with the glass, and I made the red 5.5x7.5" so there would be a border...

We sailed on the Magic last week, so now I can share with you the gifts I made. I "scraplifted" the idea from an earlier poster. Each scrapbook was different because I used a lot of materials I already had on hand.

Here is a link that shows samples of each page:

I am NOT crafty at all.. but i knew i couldnt justify spending 30.00+ on a FE..... I found this one on ebay:

And have fabric paints to put our names...i also just grabbed some of the mickey ribbon to help with the gifts...... We are driving, so no worries on space for me......

Lisa, thank you so much for the scrapbook! We love it and cannot wait to fill it up with pictures and journal entries! It is fantastic!!!

Here are my FE gifts for our Christmas cruise. We ended up with 63 rooms (I thought it was going to be half that) so not everyone will get one because they are time consuming.
Terrible picture, but these are ceramic. Made the mold, cut the clay, had to dry, go in the kiln, get several coats of glaze, go back in the kiln, then glued on the bell and put on a chain, which they can change out to something nicer, if they like.
I kept one - I kind of like them

So, so, SO cute! You are so creative!

Here are the gifts I made - ornaments for the ladies, mousepad for the men and dogtags for the kids, with designs from the wonderful DIS'ers. Unfortunately, after I made the order (did it through artscow), others joined, so I wasn't able to give it to everyone:

I thought with all the Christmas cruises that were given, some others might enjoy these great ideas!

I just clicked through this *entire* thread and I am overwhelmed by the talent and love you put into your FE gifts! I got some great ideas and I can't wait to hand them out on the March 6 cruise.

I had started a thread yesterday asking for DCers ideas/best FE things they'd received. I had no idea that this huge thread existed, so I was thrilled to see someone reposted it! Thank you soo much, it has inspired me! All the things that you guys have made for the FEs are awesome!! Such talent. Can't wait! I'm hoping to maybe get in on our cruise's FE group!

Great job! They are all so nice!

Wow!! Such WONDERful FE gifts!! I esp. love the magnets and bookmarks. I have been working on similar ideas for our Dream cruise in July and wasn't sure about them, but seeing yours helped me make up my mind! Thanks!! I bought white paper sacks with Toy Story and Disney Princesses on them from Office Depot to use as goodie bags. I like how you embellished with the sparked stickers! Great touch of magic!

Shadowryter, very nice gifts! I love the image on the one that says "Do you Believe?".

Two weeks till my cruise and I am working on my FE gifts. I'll post the handmade ones when I get back.

I made these little "beaded charms" and attached them to luggage tags for our 11/27/10 cruise on the Magic. They can easily be removed from the tags, so folks can use the charms for whatever they wish. (Luckily I ordered some blank luggage tags for latecomers to our exchange. And then for the last minute additions, I purchased blank luggage tags from the craft store.)

Some reports of my Photobucket pictures not appearing in the above post, so reposting pics again! Hope this works!
