I created two banners. One for Hailey and one for our roommate, McKenzie. I designed them with Paint Shop Pro XI because that is the program I'm comfortable with; I'm still trying to get the hang of Photoshop.
I emailed the designs to a local graphics & sign shop in our town. He printed them on a 2 x 4 banner. We then hung them up in our window at Disney along with blue and green Christmas lights. There was one little staple in our decorations. You can't use tape, so we brought suction cups with us. Everything was hung up with suction cups. It was challenging, but it all worked out. This is what our window looked like.
I also made a poster with the girls pictures on them and we received stars and magnets in the girl's gift bags to hang on the door as well. Again, no tape, so we stuck magnets on the decorations because the door is metal. This is what our door looked like.
Here is a closer look at the poster. The poster was pretty fun to make. I just bought a blue poster board, trimmed it in zebra ribbon. I then printed the RC sign from my computer (off of the banner that I designed) and glued it to the board. I bought silver stars at a parent-teacher store and printed their picture in a star shape from my printer. I glued everything on and then outlined it all in glitter glue. The board says Rockin' Rebels on the bottom. It's a little hard to read on the picture.
I think our door and window looked pretty good. I wish I would have taken pictures of some of the other windows so you could see the amazing creativity. Now, I have to prepare for next year and look for anything I can find that is blue and green and would look good on the door or window.
Happy Hump day! The weather is beautiful here, but supposed to be cold and snowy tomorrow. Boo!
