I really need help! I am a total idiot when it comes to this computer stuff. I liked a few of the wallpapers on the Disney experince. I have saved them to my computer and have been trying to use them in Print Shop. My question is how do I remove the wording that is already on there? For instance, there is a cute Stich picture by the wallpaper says Aloha from Haiwaii. I want to remove that. Any suggestions?

I know exactly which picture you're talking about. I opened it in Paint and used the eyedropper to pick the color next to the words I wanted to get rid of, then I clicked on the paintbrush and colored over the words. When you get to a part that has a different color background next to the word just use the eyedropper again to change the color. I hope that makes sense. There may be an easier way of doing it, I don't know what it is.

I have been working on this with not much luck. My dh says I obsess over the silliest things. Like I have nothing better to do than spend hours on making a door sign! lol! I am determined to have one! I think it will help Jacob find our room!

 

[Aisling]

These are wonderful signs! I love the 3D effect!

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

Cute signs. I think I am going to let my 6 year old make his own sign also. He would have a blast making it and then hanging it on our door.

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

Is this the Wonder cruise? I am going on this cruise too.

 

[ohMom]

no - Magic Western thanksgiving cruise, that day will be our pirate party

and FYI -- i printed out a new correctly spelled sign! LOL

btw - i thought of a new sign, but for the inside of our stateroom door. a magnetic sign will stick there too i assume? i'm going to make a 'reminder' for my DD's to remember to tip room service! they ordered on our Wonder trip and totally forgot to tip in all their giddiness

Finally think I've got this figured out...

THANK you for being there!!!! Stay safe - and ENJOY your return home and the wonderful trip you have waiting!!!! The 8016 sign is not mine - it is another DIS'er's that was on our cruise - but i LOVED it soooo much i had to take a photo and post it as well!!!!!

 

[donaldsgal]

Not to hijack the thread, but yes, MISSALLEN - thank you for what you do to protect our country. You deserve to be thanked everyday.

 

[ohMom]

i'll add my highest gratitude to MissAllen if i may

not to change the subject abruptly; BUT -- i'm thinking i am NOT going to put my families real names, especially my DDs on my door signs. Is anyone else worried about safety in putting on your door your child's name and/or picture? I don't mean to be overworried, but; i'm thinking i'm cruising with 4,000 people that I don't know -- best not to tell them information including: what her name is, what room we are in, and/or what my precious child looks like. I remember reading that small children shouldn't wear clothing with their first name on it, you know, like a T-shirt that says "BILLY", as a stranger can then approach them by name and the child feels safe b/c they know their name.

just my .02 but thought i'd put it out there for those who want to consider it

i plan on putting on my sign my disboard username only

When I made our door signs, I was going to put all our names on it, mine, my husband's and my two daughters who I let roam around the ship alone with their friends - but my being a court reporter and my husband a retired NYC police officer, we know and have heard a lot of bad stories when it comes to crimes committed against children. So I decided just to put our Last Names on the signs.
I know some people will say that nothing will happen, but it is better being safe than sorry, even on a Disney cruise. You know how pedophiles like to hang out in parks and malls, anywhere kids are? Well, Disney just might be a destination as well. I am not saying it definitely is, but you just never know.
I am not a freak when it comes to that because there's only so much you can do while still letting your child spread their wings, but to put two pre-teen's first names on a door that they are entering numerous times a day without me or my husband present, even with a mandatory "Buddy" - I just decided it was better to skip the first names, but still enjoy personalizing the signs with our last names.
I know everyone has their opinion, this is just mine.

 

[Marypoppinsiam]

Good thought. I wish our world was a safer place, even on the Disney cruise but you are right, you always need to be on the lookout.

Ok..I need help..I have that Mickey Magic Artist software. I have trying to put letters over the picture but it comes out as "embossed"...how to I just make it text.

 

[scrapperjill]

When doing our magnets...I went back and forth on names or no names...and even last year decided to only put our last name on the signs. Even our tee shirts we made...we only put our last name. However we did get GOH badges this year and put our "real" names on them...as well as our Mickey ears....and I guess the pillowcases that we made have our kids names listed...but those will really only be seen by the girls themself It's not like they'll tote their pillows all over.
