What program did you use? FH just brought home the Adobe Photoshop CD. The manual to learn how to use this program is HUGE! I'm thinking of making my own magnets...??? Can you share pics of your STDs? TIA!

Re: For those of you who made your STDs...pics???
well, here is the front and back...i blocked out some info and this wasn't thebest version, but anyway, we used m/s word to make it but fh used photoshop to tweak the picture. the original picture of us was cutting off my right ankle and foot and fh recreated it and some background, too.
I bought magnet rolls at Michael's for $10 a roll, printed the artwork on regular paper. Also cardstock to attach the magents to with double stick tape, and envelopes-I think thats all the materials needed (for mine at least)

Hi there! I tried doing the search for the STD that you said you had posted and didn't find them. Would you please be able to post them again? Thanks!!

this isnt the exact thread I was looking for but here is one- there is more detail here. Let me know if you want any other details...
i used regular cardstock that is about 65 lb. or so. got it at target for three dollars. i was apprehensive thinking the post office wouldn't send them, but i also received a postcard in the mail using the same cardstock, so i felt safe. i made sure all the cards were 'legal' postal size and so far, they were a hit!

Staples sells magnetic computer paper... We designed the cards on a print shop type program using the business card template and them printed them right onto the magnetic paper and cut them. Four sheets for $10, and we got 10 magnets to a sheet. Very very easy!

I guess I need to invest in a color printer in order for these to come out nice? I have a regular laser printer.
