Mike...


Mike, I printed a sheet of 10 and the bottom text blends into the back ground and can't be read. Maybe it could be black lettering to show up. The trees don't show up either but it still looks great. :applause: :thumbsup: Danny

Norm,

Is there any way you can fix this card up so stuff shows up better?

Also, could you add the /forums into the url?

Thanks,

Mike...

Lobo, I'll get it done within a week or two.

Normally, a trifold is a no-brainer for me, but I've been too dang busy to sneak any time in doing it at the office.
Here we go again!

Avery has free software for making labels and business cards. I threw this together in about 20 minutes from the template included with the software. The software prints around Avery forms so you can get precut business card stock for a professional look.

Here's a link to the software download if anyone else wants to make a custom card. We had so many people ask us about our camper in Yellowstone that we had already decided to put something together.

P.S. The software works great for homebrew bottles as well. :lol:

:applause: Thanks for bringing it up Danny. I wrote the .com/forum 3 times yesterday. Cards would be great and I have WP and Microsoft Office. :twisted:

I also thought immediately that the bottom line would have to be redone in darker print. I am going to make one darker and print some.

It's awful hard to put a lot of info on a business card. I also thought of a single or half page with descriptions of my trailer and where the plans are (being mercenary anough to want to make some money), and would have the forum link on it as well. Sort of like what Ira is doing.

Here is the card with black printing at the bottom. However pretty this one is, and is that, I think less color on a small card would be more easily read.

Maybe if just the graphic were available people could use it to make cards or pamplets specific to their trailers with links to the forum as well?

Dale, Looks mucho better. All the color actually looks OK it must be because the tear is black. Can you add /forums to the address? Danny

The business card idea is a good one....I know that the Rambler AMC club has them...theirs says..."We Like your AMC" , and I've gotten them stuck under the windshield wipers of the car when out...it lets you know where to go to get info/parts/clubs etc....print up a bunch and leave them in the car...whenever you see a tear, and there are becoming more and more of us, stick a card on it...lets the owners know people are looking and that there is a home for their afflictions... :thumbsup: Doug

Hi Norm,
That is great but it needs the "/forum" on it. (mikenchelll.com/forum)

Beautiful work
