What Does YOUR DCL magnetic door sign look like? With other great tips for your sign

[jan&theboys]

I am a scrapbooker so I took 12x12 paper and made scrapbook pages. Then I had them laminated and placed heavy magnets on the back. We also made door signs that decorated the bathroom doors. I was then able to place them in our scrapbook when we got home.

I think that's a fantastic and creative idea!! Kudos to you!!

Hi everyone ;o)
Just wanted to let you know what I found today at my local Dollar Tree store. For a $1.00 they had "Create Magnetic Photos with Ease" one 10"x12" sheet. You print your picture, then peel off the magnetic's adhesive backing, then apply your picture. You can then trim the edges of the magnet to the trimmed picture more precisely. The product does state that it's not recommended for use on automobliles. I tried it out and it works great. It's very easy to cut with sissors also. Was so excited about finding it that I bought 3, now I'm ready to start my door signs! Thank you "ALL" for such great ideal and advice! Susan

These signs are so awesome! This thread inspired me to get going on mine...or else it will be put to last minute along with everything else, and then not be done at all. That's no fun.
Thanks everyone!

Verandah Man, if you are still out there, I surfed back a few pages and saw your cool banner. I was wondering where you found the picture you used on the sides? I just love it...I think it has Mickey and Minnie with the ship in the background.

The picture I used for that banner was the front of a DCL postcard I received and I scanned it into my computer.

Thank you! I'm ashamed to confess I'm clueless when it comes to scrapbooking.

I just downloaded the 30 day trials of Adobe Photoshop Elements 3, and PaintShop Pro 9, (Microsoft's Digital Image Suite 11) didn't have a 30 day trial - so i am testing these two - so far i'm loving the Adobe Photoshot. CHeck out this website for comparisons and review of the top ten!

Thanks so much for the compliments!! We actually used a couple of programs. Microsoft Publisher was used for the format of the signs, and Microsoft Photo Editor was used for all the images. Just your basic stuff I know, but it seems to work well for us. Hope this helps!

Needed to get some references off this and bumping it back to the first page!

I have a really stupid question. How do you guys enlarge these great pictures to 8 1/2 x 11 without losing image quality? I'm using Print Shop which may be my first problem, the program hates me and I get so frustrated with it! Thanks.

Sorry if I am not posting this correctly. Has anyone ever made a bumper sticker or magnet with clip art? Where do you get the paper/magnetic stuff?
We are driving from Missouri to WDW in Sept. and would love to create my own bumper magnet for the trip.
Thanks!

Hi, first I would do a search within this thread to find magnetic paper. Have this thread open and click the search this thread button. Then type in magnetic paper and you should see posts with your word search. I don't know how computer savy you are, for all I know you could be the next Bill Gates of computers and I wouldn't know it from this side of the computer. Any way, start there and if you don't find your answer, I'm sure some one can help you here. Very cool idea bTW to make magnetic bumper stickers. I think some one shared a story here about their home made mag sign flying off the side of their car onto a FL highway.

HAVE YA'LL SEEN LOTSOFBOYS QUESTION AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE? I don't know.

Hi everyone:

I am looking for a picture of a Disney ship that was from a postcard and half moons around the whole picture. I had it and can't find it now.

Can anyone find it quicky or have it on their computer??

thanks so much in advance

EDITED TO ADD: Not half moons, but scalloped all around the picture

Does the post card look like a Stamp? When you say half moons are you talking about the border around the ship?
