We need a way (while at the Fort), to identify DIS Camping Forum members!

clear contact paper?...Ive never seen clear contact paper.....is that because its soooo clear? That would be like homestyle laminating. Yet another incredible idea...Im gonna have to look for that.

Clear contact paper is definitely the poor man's laminator. I was a piano major in college, and was always having to buy expensive books of music whose covers would fall off from all the abuse they took getting hauled all over campus - clear contact paper on the covers worked like a charm!

To use it on the Mickey head design, you would just lay Mickey face down on the stick side on one sheet, then carefully lay the sticky side of a second sheet on the back. Cut around the edge of the design with regular scissors, and there you go.

Thank you , BDR.

OMG! I found someone else that did that in college! I thought I was the only one! (I minored in music!) We are going to take the design and cut the lime green mickey head on vinyl and our lettering and use clear ink jet printer stickers for the musket mickey and put it on a sign the size of a garage sale sign you would put out on Saturday. If I can get away with it, I am going to make the mickey head as big as my cutter, 23inches!

After Seabee made me a new sign, I had to make a convertable backpack/purse to match, of course!!!!

I made this today:

The inside has lots of pockets.....

Crafty you are. I still need a sign. We are however working on our lamp post tonight. Dh attaching the ears as we speak.

Well, thank you! I don't do signs. I don't know how to work the photoshop stuff, but Seabee and Rog are VERY good at it! I'm sure if you say "pretty please? With sugar on top?" that they would be happy to help you out!

Make sure you post pics of that lamp!

BTW, I read somewhere that you have 3 girls! I have 3 girls, too! They are nearly 12, nearly 9 and 7. That, coupled with the fact that we are practically living close enough to send smoke signals, we really should work something out for the summer!

 

[VACAMPER]

BDR, Pretty please with sugar on top? PP said it would work.

My girls are 12, 9 next month & 3 in May. So Claytor Lake or Randolph Park is a must for us to get together. The girls would love that. Do you work or a stay at home mom? So of us SAHM's do lunch or breakfast on a regular basis you should join in. Just a thought.

I am a SAHM. I'd love that! Randolph Park is a blast! We have a pool in our backyard, but it doesn't have all the extra stuff that Randolph has!

Great! I'll let you know when. They said something about breakfast Thursday but i'm not sure if i'll make it since we're leaving on Fri. Depends on how many last min. things i've left myself to do.

 

[BigDaddyRog]

BDR, Nicole, and anyone else using photoshop to create these signs.

AutumnJen posted a link to her photoshop format file back in this post; http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=24068528&postcount=78. It has everything in separate layers and is easier to manipulate the individual elements. I used her file when I created my sign.

Thanks...I saw she had posted that....unfortunately I am using regular old MS PAINT to do these(hence the lack of creativity on mine). I cant even open that file yet.

 

[VACAMPER]

I'm sprinkling your sugar on top now. Your so great! Thanks!! I'll hang it proudly next week!!

Cool! Let me know!

I just moved from Gainesville, GA to Pensacola, FL about 8 months ago. I really do miss it up there.

BTW, I don't have photoshop and was wondering if I may ask someone for help in making us a FW sign also....

Great, I have a beach house at Ono Island, AL which is about 15 miles west of Pensacola. It's very nice down there I hope you will learn to love it.
Regards
Randy

Oh, for some reason I thought you were using photoshop. Ahhh, I think I remember now, you had a trial copy that expired. That's where I got confused. Which really isn't difficult anymore.
