New "SWAP" Idea, No scrapping involved!

[TinkerKat]

Hello there gals! Ok, so I was admiring an Album that Cass (aka Timon) did and found myself thinking, shoot! I wish I had taken a picture of that!

Since the last two swaps were real kickers, interuppted by "my so called life" :rotfl:

I got to thinking, How about a "non-working" scrap. Ok, they'll be some work involved, but minimal, and no scrapping.

I'm thinking a PICTURE SWAP. I'd happily host it.
It's pretty straight forward, we pick through our pictures of "objects" or characters, (no people) that might be useful in someones scrap pages. Make enough copies for participants and swap.

For instance, DisneyFreak Jackie has a layout and I love a Picture she has of
the "ToonTown" sign. Cass has a picture of the "See ya later mon" from Castaway Cay, as well the name "Magic" and the Hercules show. I have a multitude of pictures of The Disney Cruise Menus, The Golden Mickey's sign,
TheDowntown Disney Toy Store sign etc.
Am I making sense? :blush:
We can make two categories for A & B A= Cruise B= Parks?

I'm also looking to see if anyone took pictures on the Magic of the wall that gives you all the "stats" of the ship... how many cups of coffee a day, how many pillows, ship is as tall as... and as heavy as etc. It's a posted outside of Shutters.
Let me know what you gals think.
Can't wait to get the Cruise swap goodies! GreatWeekend to all!

[scrapcreator]

OK, this could be a cool swap. And, since I did my most recent cruise & parks on CD's from Costco, it would be very easy for me. Do you think people would want to list some of the pics they are looking for or should we list some of the unusual pics we took?

[tubachick]

This sounds cool...(this would be my first swap)... I am interested, in Parks--- never did the cruise (yet). What types of pics are people looking for. Just wondering......

[Pammy jo]

I'm in. Just let me know the details. I am forever looking for good ride or sign pictures just to complement my pages.
Pammyjo

[sweet maxine]

I'm interested, and I have several pix of the fronts of rides, but of course, I'm missing a few I'd like to have for my ride swap goodies. Let us know the details!

[dreams91]

Oh, man, this is an illness....I should've never touched the "crafting & scrapping" button....

So yes, I'm in!!! :rotfl:

[goofymom/pop]

after looking at Timons' finished album was a page idea swap. You would make up a completed page without pics, copy it as many times as participants and swap them out. This way we would have a great idea book that you could use for years to come. What do you think? plus the work is minimal as you only really do a two page layout and run to the local kinkos for copies....:)and you keep your original....

I Like that Idea too---- it never hurts to have more disney ideas!!!

[WDWMom]

I'm in. I will have to check my CD and see if I have any to share. Mine would be parks pics.

[Lyndarella]

A photo exchange sounds wonderful! Everyone makes fun of me for the unusual pictures I take (carpets and bedspreads, for example) I might have some park pictures other people would like!

[eeyoreforever]

I love this idea, but had another thought. The other day I was looking at one of DisneyFreakJackies albums she has posted on Sony's Imagestation. I saw several pictures that I could use, so I asked her if she minded if I printed them. She gave me the go ahead and I ordered what prints I wanted directly from Imagestation. Got them in 2 days. (Thanks Jackie). Anyway, what if everyone posted the pictures they would like to share on a site like that in a public album, then you could look through everyone elses and pick exactly which pictures you want. Just an idea I thought I would throw out there.

I like this idea, that way people don't waste money on pictures no one will use and everyone can print all the pictures they want. If they want several from one person they can order them.

I like this idea also, It works better for those of us who have limited pics w/o people, but have park pics to share. Finding a site we all could log into and post the pics would work out GR8!!--- looking forward to seeing all the pics and spending more $$$$$!!! :teeth:

[pattyT]

LOVE IT!
twist my arm :earseek:

[piratesmate]

I knew I should have stayed out of this thread after the initial read through! For various reasons I wasn't all that interested until I read eeyoreforever's idea. But I really, really like that idea! There are always pix I want for a LO that I either thought we took or that didn't turn out or the roll of film it was on got lost or destroyed or....

Let me know what site you all decide to use as I've never done that!

[angelmom]

I too didn't think I would be interested in this swap, but I love the idea of posting pictures on a site and being able to find the ones that will be just perfect for "that one layout."

[Shell76]

That is an awsome idea. I would be more than willing to post my pics for everyone else to "browse" through and use.

[tubachick]

I have an account on shutterfly-- that is just for my disney pics--- is anyone interested in using this type of service to have all of our pics on?? I could open an account and give eveyone access to get pics??? Just wondering.

[dizney-cruiser]

shutterfly works for me - run with it tubachick! get us set up!

[tubachick]

OK--- here it goes.... I set up an accout at shutterfly.com

http://www.shutterfly.com/home/signin_member.jsp

The log in email address is wdwscrapper@yahoo.com
and the password is mickey all lowercase letters.

The only part you have to remember is to go back and delete your credit/payment info after you place your order. If you have questions, I will try to answer. I have used shutterfly and ofoto and kodak before with no problems, sharing the account with other family members--- so since you guys/gals are my dis family---- go for it.

Happy picture hunting!! :wave2:

[christinadei]

So, should we all post our pictures in the same account or should we each post our account for everyoen to see? It would be good if they were all in one place, or we'll have to do seperate orders for each person's pictures. KWIM? Is there a service where pictures can be uploaded for everyone to see and then can be downloaded with the same resolution? I know with shutterfly, if you save the pictures to your computer, they are lower resolution. So the only way to get quality pictures from those pictures is to order directly from shutterfly. Which isn't a problem, other than if everyone's pictures are stored in different places. I'm sure shippign can get pretty high. Does anyone know how it works with winkflash? I suggest we open one account and everyone can go there to save their pictures and then once everyone's saved them, we can each order the ones we want. I'm only suggesting winkflash because prints are only $.12 each and $.99 shipping. Shutterfly is much higher for both prints and s/h. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'd be happy to set up a winkflash account for us disers. We would just have to remember to put in a different ship to address when we ordered.

Sorry, I didn't catch that. So should everyone upload pictures to that account so we all have them in one place?

This would be great too. I had problems getting pics in a timely manner from winkflash in the past -- So whatever works for the group works for me send the log in info and I am ready to post.

The account I set up on shutterfly (http://www.shutterfly.com/home/signin_member.jsp) is ready for the group if you want the log in info is:

log in email address: wdwscrapper

happy scrapping.

Upload away!!! the log in info is posted, just be sure to go back and remove your payment method after your order is placed

[TinkerKat]

WOW :earseek:

I LOVE the ways you gals took a basic "IDEA" and made it a GREAT IDEA!
I'm so proud to have made everyone's wheels spin in such a productive manner :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Thanks for all the thought and planning! Can't wait to print those pictures I need.... Oh Jackie... Toontown , Deb, any Mushu or Sorcerer shots? Looking forward to this super easy Cyber swap!

Though I do like the "idea book" as well! Should we follow through on that as well. I was thinking if we "shrink" the images to 5x7 they'll easily fit inside the flat rate envelopes. Just a thought.

[disneyfreakjackie]

OK started to put some pics on Shutterfly/album is disneyfreakjackie. I already have May 2004 on imagestation. My username on imagestation is . . . YOU GUESSED IT disneyfreakjackie. I have an album for each park on there. If you can't see them all and need to, e-mail me and I will have to "invite" you to view it. Don't know why it makes me do that sometimes?!? Hope you all find something you need!!! :Pinkbounc

[tubachick]

Jackie-- great pics I ordered a few already

Thanks

Pam

[christinadei]

I just added pics from our last trip. I need to dig around to find my disk from last year and I'll upload them as well.

I'm going to wait for everyone to get their pictures uploaded to order, so I don't keep having to pay for shipping. Anyone know any codes or deals for shutterfly? Or a way to download them and keep the resolution?

[tubachick]

There are a lot of great pictures, trying to find my other CD's to download more.....

[pattyT]

OK I added 126 pictures which include a lot from Orleans and Wilderness Lodge...
and whoever was looking for a picture of Thunder Mnt - there is one in there...

[nicki dahling]

If you print from home you can save the pictures on your hard drive. Just right click and save as a jpg. file with other pictures you have. Just a thought . I will try to add some pictures tommorrow.

This works :cool1: Thanks-- good idea, now just don't let DH know I am taking up all the memory with pics :teeth: --- gotta buy more picture paper for the photo printer :rolleyes:

[kristen17]

You guys mind if I join in?

We're going to POFQ in September, and all the parks, of course. I'll upload my pix when I return. This is such a brilliant idea. Plus your gorgeous pix will inspire to keep snappin while we're there. So so so great.

How is the resolution when you do that? I'm thinking that i'v esaved them like that and then ordered prints from somwhere else, and the resolution was low. I'd like to save the ones I want and order them from winkflash, since their pictures are less than half the price of shutterfly and s/h is much lower too.

I have the epson picturemate and have not had any problems.

I uploaded my recent pics. There are great pics here on the disboards, too. Those are already categorized for ya.

I've had the same problem. I've tried saving other peoples pictures and then uploading them to Walmart or Snapfish. I know than on WalMarts site, it tells you the largest picture you can print and it is usually a wallet size. You can print a larger size, but the quality would be gone.

[CheshireAllieCat]

Just *BUMP*ing this post to the top to thank all of you for your great pics! It especially came in handy since my 2-year old decided that she was afraid of fireworks all of a sudden, so I had no good pics of Wishes or Illiminations until I found this thread!
Thanks again,

Allie

[ImaDizneyNut]

can I play
I got back from disney world in Sept I took alot of sign pictures. I also took pictures of the picture in the center of the castle it changed 5 times i got beautiful shots of that.

[bcarson]

Just bumping this up for everyone to see!

[UGAFan0829]

I would also love to participate! We just got back from the Wonder last week, so I have about 300+ pictures! I will work on getting them uploaded if anyone would be interested in any of them!

[VistaLeigh'smommy]

I just uploaded a bunch of pics!!! It didn't look like anyone was putting their name on the ones that posted, so I didin't either!!!

BUT, I want to point out that my favorite picture I took was the 3 stuffed donalds at philharmagic... I don't know why I love it so much, but it is cute!!!


yay for this idea!!!!

[mickeyfan2]

Put me down for the parks. How about any from DL. We were just there for the 50th. So we make copies of the photo and send if out?

[PixieDust32]

Sounds like fun, I got tons of pics also, I can do PARKS, bcs we never did cruise.

[nicki dahling]

No you just upload to the photo sharing site. See the first page for more info.

[nicki dahling]

Actually the link for the site is on the second page.

Cyndi

[bcarson]

Can anyone tell me how much it costs to order, and do they mail them to you? Thanks

[nicki dahling]

4x6 prints cost 19 cents. 5x7 run 99 cents a peice ( you can see pricing chart at the site under pricing at the bottom of the page ) Shipping is about $1.99 ( may vary depending on size of order ). They usually take 2-3 business days after they are processed.

THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT PICS EVERYONE POSTED. IT HELPED ME GREATLY FILL IN ALL THE MISSING SPOTS!!!

THANKS AGAIN. :bounce:

[christinadei]

I got in my pictures the other day and they are great. :goofy: Thanks everyone for taking the time to post them. It really helps! :tink:

[heather31]

This is a great idea!!!!! I have ordered some pics and will upload mine sometime tomorrow. I just got back a couple of weeks ago and didn't get all the shots that I wanted, so this is perfect for me!!!!!

I will let everyone know when I get my photos uploaded!

[heather31]

ok, what do I have to do to go in and delete my payment information? When I go back in, none of my information there, so is there something that I need to do to delete it????

[Principessa]

This is a great photo share - How long will we be able to access it?
I can't decide tonight which pictures I need...Isn't it about 30 days
or something? Thanks!

[JaneMcAsh]

I was at Animal Kingdom & Epcot the first of January with my niece & SIL - together we took a LOT of pics - especially of the AK Safari. I'll get them uploaded over the weekend.

Hi,

I just posted a coupon code on the shared shutterfly account that is good for 10 free 4x6, 5 5x7, and 2 8x10. You still have to pay shipping. Nothing I want to order right now but figured I'd made someone else's day. Have fun! :wizard:

[tubachick]

ok, what do I have to do to go in and delete my payment information? When I go back in, none of my information there, so is there something that I need to do to delete it????


when you log back on is it still there? most times it will reset it self, but double check to be sure.

[tubachick]

it will be there for a while. we did have some tech diffculties around Dec, but I think we have most of the pics back.

[HeatherFeather]

Hi,

I just tried to access this account and can't get in. Did someone change the password or something? :confused3

[bcarson]

Okay when I click on the link now. I see my email address there and if I put the old password in it pulls up the photos? I have no idea how I did that. I am so sorry. :confused3 If someone can tell me how to fix it I will. I could not figure out that site for the life of me the other night. When I was on the order page I had to make myself a reciepent? I guess that is how I messed it up. :blush: I am going to be gone this morning but I will check back later in case there are any explanations as to how to fix this. Again I am sorry!

[bcarson]

I changed it back. I think I fixed it. How can I tell if my credit card info is on there. I screwed the other up I really don't want to make that mistake!

[Julez4u]

Great Idea Everyone !!

I will upload some pics at home tonight .. I have both Park and Cruise .. and lots of pics that I could share !! I also have Disneyland if anyone would want me to put some of those up !!
