Well I broke down and bought the materials to make my own badges. I got a circle cutter, 30 mil and 60 mil magnet sheets, inkjet printable outdoor vinyl and UV over laminate. Here is my first batch of badges. They are on the 60 mil magnets. Still have a few kinks to work out but getting close to what I want.

Does anybody know why this thread fell off my subscription list?
Anyway -- I give up -- how can somebody without high-speed graphic programs make the graphics for the badges?? I'm trying to get mine working, but I've got powerpoint (of which I am a powerpoint ranger), and some of the basic paint/editor, etc. programs. Nothing comes out looking remotely professional.

Circle Cutter:

Magnet Sheets:

Waterproof UV Overlaminate:

The circle cutter will cut the 30 mil magnet sheet with one pass. However to cut the 60 mil it takes 2 passes. I use c-clamps to clamp the cutter into place so it does not move and I am able to get a good cut on the 60 mil. If I can get the roller blades for the cutter sharpened more it would probably cut the 60 mil in one pass.

Mark , those came out fantastic. The circle cutter looks like it worked well .
I like those smooth edges.

In that case, maybe I should wish for one of the new Factory JCW's and a summer home on the beach.

Okay, so I really am a blonde, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
I showed this to the Hubby last night and explained that I'd like to do something with it. Then I noticed the 2008, Oops 
, mines a 2007.
Any chance of getting a correction to work with. THANKS!!!

Guys we should get the word out to the rest of the forum somehow in case they don't come here. I think this could balloon into
1. a great bunch of people trading
2. a great bunch of business for Cooper Flags
Then when the limited time offer is over, other people would be more likely to pay for the design fees because we would have really started something.

By the way guys....
Here is the full set of four badges Craig drew up for me... I ordered the two you've already seen, but the other two I haven't yet.
The two new ones have my car's name 'Tradition' on them, which also fits well with the Bama football theme....
Let me know if you think one of these would be better for the trading instead...

We still need to collaborate.
I love them all, but my favorites are the "A" and the "Elephant". VERY COOL OPTIONS!
