Hi guys! Came across this thread today and I thought I would share what my husband and I are doing for our cruise in June 2012 to Alaska! If you are going on an Alaskan Disney Cruise in June AND are doing the FE Gift Exchange DONT Look, I am not going to post the date just so even if you are, you might not be going on ours, but don't say I didn't warn you beforehand! And don't click the pic links either! I want you to be surprised...LOL!! Highlight to Read further:
My husband is an artist and we both love vinylmations, I know not everyone collects them but I thought it would be cool anyway. I also use Photoshop ALL the time because I am a hobby photographer, so I am comfortable with the program. My husband is painting custom vinylmations specific to our Alaska cruise, he is making a what has been dubbed the "Deadliest Catch Mickey", the one in the fisherman's outfit, you can google if you have not seen him So we are doing a limited run of them, numbered and everything, we are actually thinking about doing it for every cruise we go on, unless there are TONS of cabins, but luckily there are not too many on our cruise. So basically he is custom painting the vinylmations. I went to our local Toys R Us, it is having a moving sale at the moment and found some cheap toys in blister packs that I could just remove and used the plastic packaging for, but they happened to be disney so I am actually going to throw those in the FE's so they won't be wasted. ANYWAY, I used photoshop to make custom packaging for them, took them to Office Depot to be printed on a cardstock type paper that was thicker, then used self-laminating sheets to make them more durable. So anywho, I am going to show a few pics, but I don't want anyone to see the actual finished Vinylmations until after the cruise so I just have a few shots of him painting them! Whew! Long story short, let me know what you guys think!
