Advice For Printing And Using Collage Sheets

How Do You...

We get questions all the time about using

collage sheet images that you print at home

if all you have is an ink-jet printer?

We thought you'd like to know what 

we advise so here's a response that 

we sent to a customer just last week...

When all I had was an ink jet printer, I would 

use a decent weight paper (not the thin stuff like 

cheap copy paper) and print the sheet. Let it dry 

very well (an hour or even more if it's humid.) 

Then get some ModPodge and a brush. 

Paint a very thin coat of the stuff over the images. 

Go vertical. let it dry, then brush across. 

Let that dry well. Then cut out your images to use.

Try not to saturate the back (use as little glue 

as you need to stick to the surface you're gluing to) 

Let it dry then coat the piece with the ModPodge 

using the same technique. 
OR... 

wait for a sale at someplace like Staples or 

Office Max and get color copies made. 

Tell them not to change the size of the file 

(I usually send the files online to them) and 

to use a 24 or 32 pound bond bright white paper. 

It's worth the money because toner never smears!!!

We hope this inspires you to NOT be 

afraid to print your own sheets at home!

Happy New Year!

Happy 2012!

As the New Year dawns, we all look forward
to what a brand new year can bring.

No matter what happened in 2011,
good or bad, we look to a fresh beginning.

At least that's what you're supposed
to believe as the ball drops.

For most of us, we look forward to
building on the foundations we've laid
in the past year or years. We strive to
continue on a good path, to keep reaching
for our goals and to share happiness with
as many others as we can.
Why would you want to wipe everything
out and start from scratch?

At MoonlightJourney, Becky & Lynne
are grateful for the past year. The business
has grown quite a bit and we have more
customers than ever. Most of our customers
feel like family since they buy from us so often.

Our Design Team is one of the best around -
give them an image to work with and they
amaze us every time. We try to offer
collage sheets and other artistic goodies
that you can't find anywhere else.

MoonlightJourney prides itself on giving you
more than your money's worth. We don't use
one image and just make it different sizes
on a collage sheet. You get different images,
artistically altered images to launch your
imagination into the stratosphere.

So here's to the upcoming New Year...
may we all have jobs that we love, a roof
over our heads, enough food on the table
and friends & family to love.

~ Becky & Lynne
