We have three cabins on the January 20th Eastern Magic. I've started signs for each room. Still working on them. But this is how they look so far.

I got the magnetic paper from decalpaper.com site before I read the post about the problems with them. I, however, had no problem at all with them (DHL on the other hand delivered the package to the wrong house, but that was straightened out)

I also have the mickey ears for the cabin doors all laminated. I just need to buy and apply some magnets. I didn't want to use the magnetic paper for those (to much $$)

We dont sail for like 8 months, and it is our honeymoon, but here is what I have made and printed out so far. We are using the precious moments figurine as a cake topper.....

That's a cute sign....and congratulations! I hope you have a great cruise!

one more idea!!!!

Instead of laminating paper for the Mickey Ears - I found black felt with glitter sparkles at our local craft store - the sparkles added a nice pixie dust effect!!!!

I am hoping to post some pics in the near future!!!

Can anyone tell me where I can get the "Resistance is Futile" DIS logo?

Okay, here is my first attempt at a door sign. Hope you like it!

Very nice sign. I'm working on three for our January cruise.

OK, I finally got started, am using a digital scrapbook program. I have right clicked and saved a bunch of clip art including a Santa Mickey and Minnie and the DCL logo which I plan to use. Here's my problem. The images come out really bad!! On the screen they are crystal clear, but I can't get them to look crystal clear when I print them out. They are very boxy, not nice rounded well-defined curves.

I admit I'm very new to the scrapbooking stuff, but these images won't even print nicely using the printer and set to wallet size. Help! I'm also posting this on the scrapbook board and as a new thread to hopefully get more traffic about this problem.

I LOVE all of your door signs and am now trying my hardest to get a bunch made for our cruise. We leave in 8 days!!

When you right clicked did you copy the images or save them to a folder? Saving them usually is better.

 

[momof6innc]

I right clicked and saved into my clip art folder. I think my problem was making them too big. I downsized them for my next attempts and they printed much better. Now that I've figured it out, I have yet another reason to stay glued to this computer! Oh, but I have to pack!!

Here is one. I may not use it, as it's pretty generic, but it's a good start. But if they're that easy, I think the kids and I will make one per day!

It looks great Elizabeth.

I'va made a new sign for one of our cabins. I got the image from the very creative people at the Creative DISigns forum. Then I added the lettering.

How do you curve/round the lettering using Paint like bywheel or alanapapa did? I have only figured out how to tilt it X degrees or negative X degrees. But their lettering looks very nice! Great signs! TIA

I use my Print Shop Deluxe program to make the curve/round effect to the lettering.

 

[bywheel]

You can't make curved text in MS Paint. I used Paint Shop Pro and what I did was made a oval, typed onto it, then made the oval layer invisible so the text looks curved.

 

[KimberlyC]

Thanks Verandah Man and bywheel. I don't think I have those programs but I'll have too look into it.

You can also make words in a circle by using WordArt within Microsoft Word or PowerPoint. Enter the text in WordArt and then select the circle format or one of the curved formats.
