They all look GREAT...thanks for posting pics (such a great way to thank the DISigners)!!! Whose DISign is the Day 6 MK (love it!)?

I like the Day 8 designs. Can you tell me who made them for you?

 

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Those are great! 2 questions: where did you get your shirts? and about how long did it take to actually do each shirt (not counting washing time). I am in for about 30 shirts for our family and was going to start this weekend with a trial run and just want to figure out how much time I will need to set aside.

I'm sorry to say that I have forgotten who made that design. I've been collecting designs for over a year for this trip! I sure appreciate ALL the designers and I'm sorry I can't say who did which design.

I think it was Marion. I've gotten so many designs from so many great dsigners that the details are getting fuzzy now.

I always get my shirts from jiffyshirts.com. I love them! The kids shirts run a little small, FYI. As far as time...I did it in chunks. First I pasted all the designs into MS Word and sized them. I did test prints in B&W on regular paper and then immediately did a high quality print on transfer paper. (I HATE mistakes on expensive transfer paper!) I printed all my designs and trimmed them. From there it doesn't take all that long per shirt. A minute to iron the shirt, then peel and place the design, 45 seconds more to iron it on. Cool for 30 seconds and it's done! It takes a lot less time with Amy's transfer paper than with other brands I've tried--2 minutes of ironing and risk of burning the paper or shirt color bleeding through. Use Amy's paper! But don't misprint the design--at $2/sheet, it makes me cringe! I spent 2 days, two or three hours each working on the shirts I'd estimate. Good luck!

Here are the rest of the projects...

Stroller tag:

Autograph books:
These autograph books are 2-in-1. The majority of the book is Disney (especially the ones for my boys where I included character meal pages for May and December) and the last part of the book is Universal. I put clear contact paper over the cover and back page for WDW front and over the Universal front page so we could flip that to be the cover while we're at US. Hope that makes sense!

Epcot Passports: I actually only made one this time and had one unused one from last time.

Silicone Wristbands:
Didn't make these, but thought I'd post them because they are a great way to be sure your kid has your cell phone on them in case they get lost.

Journal:
I forgot to take a picture of it before packing my camera. I used the reverse side of this book from our last big family WDW get-together. (Yes, we're writing in the notebook up-side-down. I just didn't want to waste all the empty pages, or redo the ribbons! ) The cover looks similar but has Universal theme this time. (Amy designed both, so it looks very similar.)

Added at least 4 more pictures to the first post and will add the promised pictures to post #14 by the end of the day!
We WILL be packed by the end of the day!
