Love your magnets!

 

[itgirl1002]

We made magnets for our 2/20 MR cruise on the wonder, as well as goodie bags (w/hand sanitizer, santizer holders, highlighters and magnetic clips).

Here are our magnets. I found the metal letters at Michael's. I even got them on clearance. We then used the Cricut for the Mickey shapes and some jewels from Walmart. Added the ribbon and magnets. I thought they turned out good. Most of the W's ended up wth the same Mickey font as the D's and M's, not what it is in the photo.

Thanks. I'm glad we made extras so we each had a set for our fridges! My mom and I worked on them together.

I "think" it was the Disney Friends cartridge? I honestly don't have mine with me right now, so I'm not sure. I know there are two "Mickey" carts, and I think we used both. One for the shapes and one for front, but I could be mistaken.

They were easy to do, but tedius due to the small shapes. I wanted something sturdy that people could use at home after the cruise. We made 36 of them I think. We had over 20 cabins in our FE, and some groups had 2 cabins, I made one for each.

These look cool. What are bales? Is that the necklace?? I guess the rings would be for the keychains??? The rings are the things you attch so you can put it on a necklace???

The bale is the piece that attaches to the back of the piece. For this purpose, it has a flat back end and a loop end. The keyring (or ribbon/necklace, etc) threads onto that. You can see the bale in the picture of the necklaces the original poster posted.

Beautiful!!
Where did you get the ribbon-y things for the necklace part?

Thanks for the kind words, I think they are cute too!
I got the necklaces off of ebay, they are a ribbong with some cords attached in the same color. they have a clasp attached, and come in lots of colors. They weren't very expensive.

Just admiring, contemplating and subbing!

or google this: "1 inch 60 CRYSTAL CLEAR Textured Glass Tiles Squares for Magnets Pendants HIGH PROFILE" (I found it on etsy, so I KNOW I'm not allowed to post that link even though I have no affiliation of preference for one vendor of these vs another). You'll need the bales and rings for these.

Any chance of finding the glass squares that are 1.75" or 2"?

Thanks For the paperbag album - see post #1598 on the previous page, where I tried to explain how to make them as best as I can - I kind of made it up as I went along, but scraplifted some of the indivdual layouts from this similar album I found on Two Peas: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/gallery/member/147880-gruv/638022-disney-paperbag-album/

For the post-it note holders, you can find instructions for a similar one at: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/matchbookpostit/ using either 4 x 3 or 3 x 3 post-its. However, note that you can't fit a full regular size pad of post-its or the matchbook won't close properly - you need to split it in half or thirds...

The kids albums are based on Milliepie's Disigns http://www.4shared.com/dir/19077581/4fa6c900/sharing.html, which I downloaded, customized in Photoshop using Waltograph font, and then had them printed as 4 x 6 photos at the photo centre at our local supermarket (where I also bought the albums for $1 each). Then I just matted the photos and inserted them in the cover slot. For the back cover, I just printed her pic of the DCL logo and at the bottom just printed "Made especially for you by" and added our family name and hometown.

Hope this helps!

Danielle

Thank you so much!!!!

Silence,
We got one of your wonderful magnets on the cruise last week! We loved it, and we were worried someone would steal it off our door, so we kept it inside the cabin on the door to the adjoining room. Thanks so much!

You both are very welcome. I wanted to come up with something people could take home and admire at home too. Glad you both liked them.

I am trying to post a picture of the photo albums that we made for our FE but I can't figure it out. I see the button for adding a photo but it looks like you have to have a URL. How do I get one? I have the photos on my computer.

 

[SanDiegoSteph]

Okay, so these are just part of the FE I am putting together for our Very First Disney Cruise on August 2-9 to Alaska. But, since I haven't gone to print yet, I thought I'd get some feedback from all of you since you are SO, SO creative!!!

Okay, if you are on my cruise - look away, look away, look away

You have to open an account at someplace like www.photobucket.com (it's free and super easy). Then you can upload from your computer to your photobucket album. Then you just copy the URL link to paste into your posting.
