I thought about laminating this time around...but not necessarly for our door sign...but for a memo/message board for our door (were traveling with a large group). Anyone know if you can use a dry-erase marker on a laminated page?

Instead of using magnetic paper this time I purchased 8.5x11" magnetic photo sleeves....So I'm just going to print our door sign out on photo paper and slide it in. That way I can swap out door signs as the cruise goes on without all the cost of the magnetic paper The sleeves were only $1.99 at Michaels...

I saw an Incredibles t-shirt design over on the t-shirt thread. Check there. I can't tell you which page as it was LATE last night when I saw it. Do a "incredibles" search w/in the thread. If any thing you can ask the poster who designed the t-shirt where he/she found their clip art. Gd luck

There's a link to the t-shirt thread on this thread. Check back a couple of pages for the link/post. Or again, do a search on this thread for 't-shirts'.

Hope I'm spelling every thing correctly, if you know what I mean. I thought I'd check the DIS real quick, but I dont have my glasses on.

Here's the exact link to the t-shirt thread. I just got a new notification

Sandi, are they $1.99 for one or a package???

Where do you get things laminated and how much does it usually cost? We are driving but I wanted to make a bumper-sticker. I found magnetic paper at Wal-mart. Do you think contact paper would work to cover the sitcker?
Any suggestions are appreciated!!

have you tried searching w/in this thread for the clip art you want (ie: "buzz" "woody")

Or search the internet too for 'large size buzz/woody clip art'. the larger the image the better quality you will get when you go to print. Good luck

About the laminating, I just went to our local print shop (like Kinkos) and my 8 1/2 x 11 1/2 cost $1.50 I believe and I think I got the thicker lamiation too.

We also laminated all of our signs; they seemed to travel better that way for us. Also, we were able to get by purchasing the rolls of magnetic strips instead of buying magnetic paper, which saved us a LOT of money, especially for the amount of signs we had.

OMG< this is what i did too..I just wnet to good ol' WALLY WORLD aka Walmart and purchased 2 pkgs of magnetic strips to stick on the back in a few places..BUT now When they are done( the kids are each doing their own !) I think i may have them laminated too to protect them in tansit to the ship>? GREAT IDEA~

Thanks for the website. It is fantastic. I just can't wait to make my door signs. The question is which clip art do I use.

Thanks again-
Mary

Trust me, you will not regret the lamination. I just felt much more comfortable carrying them around knowing they were relatively protected, especially after working on them for so long!

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

I love your door sign. Where did you find that picture at? Did you do that sign on the Print Shop program? I am going to have to get better at this computer thing. I love to scrapbook but this is a whole new ball game to me.

Thanks -
Mary

ok i got a bit antsy to post and took advice off my cruise meets thread and registered for a photobucket account. I've made two signs - one for my family and one for my parents. I"m giving Mom hers in a 'cruise goodie' bag I've made for her b-day this weekend. she never comes to this thread I, of course, get the "welcome to the Caribbean, LOVE!' one

 

[Cruella de mom]

OOO I love the Pirates of the Caribbean door signs! They are marvelous!

Our whole family are big POC fans so I might have to borrow form those ideas. My DD10 has 3 POC posters in her room,which is painted lime green. The whole room is done completely in a tropical/piratey motiff and she hand picked everybit of the decor herself. She will go to Libbylu or ICe and see something cute and then put it back because it doesn't "go" with her room. She is going to completely flip when she sees your door signs!

I printed my signs on magnetic paper, but then slipped them into Avery page protectors to protect them while we traveled.

Seems to me you could also print on heavy copier paper, slip the paper into a protector, then hang it using a magnetic clip. Scrapbooker could then put it in their scrapbook.
