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

[Dads Dream]

Hi All,

I need help! I planned on making a door sign for our up coming cruise (5/06-Magic) and because I have waited until the last minute have found myself in a pickle. On Saturday I fell stepping off a curb (no, I was not drinking just clumsy and wearing wrong shoes I broke my elbow my right elbow of course! The news from the orthopedist is encouraging, doesn’t look like I will need surgery or a cast just the sling for a few weeks and lots of pain medication. My pickle is I am having trouble working on the computer with just my left hand.(this post took me forever to type) Was hoping that some kind DIS’er would help me out with the design.

Those are great!! Can I ask where you found the picture of the sand castle? It's gorgeous!

That's from the DCL CC Survival Kit. Do you have the CD?

I hope some one here will consider your situation and try and help you. However, there's another forum DISigns (see the very first post on this thread for this link and many others) . DDA's (Disney Design Addict(s)) have done/do what you are asking. You can lurk through other designers designs and see if any thing they've done fits you. Most of them are willing to make modifications to their deisgns to fit your family/style/sailing date. Check them out. They've got a great thing going over there. Good luck. Hope your arm gets better soon.

I don't! This will be our first cruise, so I don't qualify

Thanks for the advise Taeja71...I have also posted on the other thread.
I am off to search the web for a formal sling or maybe a tropical one! Just trying to make the best of the situation.

No, not really. Some are from other Dissers, but most of the time, I just google what I am looking for. If I don't find it I will ask here and on the DiSigns forum. I have not been disappointed (DISappointed?) yet. What are you looking for?

What type of printer is everyone using to get the borderless images? I have a HP 2210 all in one and it doesn't have a borderless 81/2 x 11 borderless print page.

I found the coolest stuff at Meijer yesterday. They are called Sheet savers. They are basically a laminating sheet that does NOT need heat. The ones I got are 8 1/2" by 11" sheets. Since I have a laser printer I cannot print right to magnetic sheets for door signs. I am going to try to borrow SIL's printer for some things but I printed a great full size one on photo paper and then used one of these sheets and will then put some magnetic strips on the back. It looks great! They also have them as photo savers that come in business card, wallet photo, 4"x6" and 5"x7" sizes.

Here are the two I made for our May 27th cruise:

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

I used a product I bought at Office Depot called SelfSeal for lamination and it worked great. The magnetic paper does work a bit better on the door compared to my magnetic strips I used. After day 5 I was having to add some magnetic strips to them. OH well they served their purpose for 2/3 of the trip.

We just got back from our cruise, and the door signs I made worked perfectly. All I use was photo paper (8 1/2 x11). I printed, trimmed the edges and used a 2' wide magnet tape.(Walmart for 2.00, I cut the length I wanted and then cut down the middle again giving me 2 1' strip, placing one strip top /on bottom. worked great.

One of my door signs. I put some of them on 12x12 paper so I could put them in my scrapbook. Used a photo protector & put magnets tape on the protector. My cabin host liked the different ones I had. I made one or two, J& N's mom, travlingal did some for me.

In the dollar store Ds saw the welcome sign, what the heck it was a dollar.

Here is one of my favorite door signs for our cruise. We had something different everyday of our cruise.

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

This was the one for Pirates Night.

Realized we are setting sail on Father's Day ( 6/18/06). Have our birthday signs all set for the kids so DS and DD and I made this one for DH.
Thought I would have each child sign their name in their own handwriting for this one.

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

This was the door sign for Castaway Cay.

Your fathers day sign is great. What a great time to be going.
