Just wanted to let you guys know that Vistaprint is having a sale right now for labor day. I think it ends tonight. If you go on the site on click on specials it will show you some items that you can get for free including postcards. I ordered a mousepad, notebook, pen and hat and all I needed to pay was the shipping which was 4 something.

Anyone who plans on getting postcards should do it now

You can also get the larger sized postcards which you can make a cute calendar magnet with. Download a 2012 blank calendar jpg file, add a Disney cruise photo on top, stick come magnetic strip on there and done

Very cool! Can I ask, did you buy the wristlet somewhere and apply the graphic, or did you make them from scratch by yourself? If you purchased them, could you tell me where? Thanks!

I got the "wristlet" at Oriental Trading (pack of 12) and then took the Jordak graphic modified it with our cruise date and printed it on iron-on transfer paper which I then ironed onto the wristlet - worked great!

I also bought little "claw" hooks at Home Depot which I put on the ribbon so that you could clip the wristlet to your pants/jacket etc.

how did u do the post cards I love them! how did u print them, and where do u find post card paper that is mailable??

I made the photo with photoshop just adding the characters and text to a travel photo of the port locations that I found online.

I then uploaded the photo to VistaPrint and made postcards with their postcard wizard - SUPER easy!!

Minimum print is 100, so everyone got 5 copies of each postcard (we had 20 in our FE group)

Thought I would share a few of the FE Gifts that I will be handing out on the Sept.20 Disney Wonder Repo Cruise.

So if you're on this one with me don't look below.

Kinda started with the food theme and decided to continue with it.

We have about 60 in our exchange group and about 20 cabins. I didn't realize how much room and weight all of it would take up when I started, but I guess that it will leave pleanty of room for SOUVENIRS !!!

I'm cruising with my friend Donna, while our husbands spend the week golfing in Palm Springs. Who do you think will have more fun !!!

This is the FE I gave on our Dream cruise last week. I am about the least crafty person I know so I was pretty happy how it turned out out. I had no clue what to do but searching the forum gave me some ideas and voila. Won't win an award but I got a lot of satisfaction from actually creating something...thanks to a friend with a cricut! Sorry about the picture quality!

Love it happygo!

Mind if I steal the idea for my scrapbook? One glance and I can think of several ways to modify it to add a few new pages in my Disney vacation album!

Great job! See, you are crafty afterall!
Tell me, are those bottle caps or just cricut pictures of bottle caps? How did you do them if they are bottle caps? I'm playing with an FE idea but not sure how one does bottle caps...

Thanks!

They also sell them at my local craft/scrapbooking store (Michael's in my case). I'm actually incorporating them into a FE gift for upcoming cruise myself!

I also found "blank" bottle caps at the craft store that were sold with fastenings to make jewelry and things. Apparently they are part of some sort of new kids art fad?

Rebecca, I JUST LOVED this gift!!!! I had to make extra sure it stayed safe during our extended stay. I cannot wait to print some photos to put in it.

For someone who isn't 'crafty' you did an amazing job. It was great to meet you

It was great to meet you too, Patricia! I'm so glad you liked it. I wish I would have taken a picture of the mat with the 5x7 openings also- I actually liked that one better but the store was out!

Herman Tripletts- Indeed, the bottle caps were purchased at Michaels.
