Attached is a name badge I made for myself. It is not scaled to correct size, so you will have to adjust to whichever size name badge you use. I used the Avery software to make it and could not upload it so I copy pasted it into Word. I used the name badge that is 2.25 x 3.5

Very Cool. Thanks for sharing. I think I will definetly use this. Do you mind? Do you print these out blank to pass out for guests to use also?

NopeI was extremely bored at work to day so I started planning somethings for the festival I am doing next weekend. I started with

Book
2
Look

and colored in the lower half of the o's to look like eyes, and did not think it was very eye catching and I want something catchy that will draw passersby in and ask "what's that?"

Decided to use a pic-to-gram (is that the correct word?) instead of the actual words. Insert a couple of pics from clip art and there you go.

Found it on another siteI found a similar template on another board. The author posted it for use by anyone who wanted to use it. I was unable to edit her pdf, so I recreated it with slightly different logos and pictures.
 
Yes, Marian, one of the moderators on WLPCtoo made this one up originally and then after someone requested she post it without her info so everyone could use it, she did so generously. She's great :D !!

That's where I found it. But I do not have the version of acrobat that edit files. So I recreated it in Avery's Design Pro program, then pasted it into a word doc to upload here
 
This is very NICE! I only wish that I could afford to upgrade my Word program so I can download and use it. I don't have the ability to edit only to look at. Thank you for sharing though! I love it!

Ah, gee, thanks, Jodi, for your kind words. ;)

Oh & btw, Shari, I'm glad I could inspire you to make one of your own, too!! I guess it's true what they say: "Imitation is the highest form of flattery"! Yours is pretty cool looking too.

I will try & attach my nameLESS name badge I made. Originally I made it in a Print Master doc & then I converted it into a JPeG picture so that anyone can import it into any word processing program that supports graphics such as Word, or into any publishing program such as Print Master or Print Artist. You can stretch/shrink to fit it according to whatever size you need.

One more thing, like I shared over on WLPCtoo, I have just recently started to use this name badge to attach it to my purse or any tote I might have. To me, it REALLY helps you to stand out. In fact, last Friday when I was at the park I had a dad notice it & made mention about it & well, one thing led to another & B4 I knew it he was taking over to intro me to his wife & mother who were sitting on a nearby park bench. Long story, short, I shared my biz card, then shared a cattie, & got her REALLY interested in hosting a show. You can read more in detail about it on the WLPCtoo thread: My NEW Name Badge...

Ok, didn't mean to be so LONG winded, but for those who know me....well, let's just say I can be a real "wind bag" at times!!! :p LOL LOL

Anyhoot, whichever name badge you choose....Enjoy!

Blessings,
Marian
