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

[Mmketeer]

Verandah Man & Zanie,

Thanks very much for your impute. I took the chance and did go ahead and put them through my printer. I was still a little nervous about them getting stuck, so I just printed out the ship name and stateroom numbers. The rest of the signs are just the white paper, but they did go through my printer just fine. The next time I make a sign though I think I will go ahead and really go for it with my printer and do a background picture, borders and fonts...the whole nine yards. One step at a time for me.
The three signs I am working on now are a surprise for my family for when we do our family Christmas cruise on RCCL (So, I figured this would be a good time to experiment since I'll need my personal DCL sign later on to be prefect!)
On my Christmas signs I have added holiday foamies with a glue gun, Christmas stocking glitter stickers and I found these great rub-on graphics and candy cane letters that I did our family names with at Michaels Arts and Crafts Store. The signs are a bit more two-dimensional than most, but I figured the worst that can happen is people might pull some off the foamie Christmas ornaments off the Christmas trees. They are all three pretty much matching signs, but they still seem to be missing something, so when I finally get them finished if I can figure out how to post them for ya'll to see I
will. :0)
Thanks for everyone's help and for all the idea sharing ya'll do.

Hey, Thanks for the compliments on my signs!
I had fun doing that! I want to make more!
But since I'm leaving in only a couple of days, I think I'd
better get packing!!!!

Michelle2,

Where did you get the background for your sign?

 

[Michelle2]

I haven't made a sign....yet. That is something that I need to do and fast!
I did quote another poster's sign, asking the same thing, and that is probably the one you are thinking of. It is Woj68's sign, and they said they used
Print Shop 20...I am going to look into that myself! I loved it!

Michelle2,

macphrsn:

The background for this sign doesn't come with Print Shop 20. This is a photo I took of the sunset at Key West (enhanced a little with Photo Shop) on our September cruise. I then used it as a backdrop for the sign.

I'm glad you like it.

Here's another I did using my own photos.

Awesome job! Your signs are beautiful

 

[macphrsn]

You do excellent work, the photos are beautiful.

Looks like I will have to wait since this is our first cruise, next time I will have photos.

Thank you.

Thank you (takes a bow).

Are there any negatives to putting your first name on your door sign?

I don't think so. We saw a bunch of signs with peoples names on them.

Unless of course, you're trying to hide from someone.

Nope, just wondering! We are sailing in December and I have seen some really cute Disney/Christmas clip art that will be great.

Your shirts are too cute. Target had Halloween pirate shirts slightly similar to yours at 75% off today that I picked up. Did you wear them to dinner or did you change into them after dinner?

Thanks. We wore 'em to dinner. We were the only people at our table with any pirate "gear" on.

Gotta lot of compliments though.

Here are the signs I have made for our cruise next month

Hopefully, they won't come across too big.

Can anyone tell the circumference of the cabin door "port hole room number"?
