I used Amy's paper. I did a test shirt using transfers I bought in the store and it sucked (posted under What went wrong with this shirt) the difference with Amy's was night and day. I just followed the instructions she sent with the transfers. Used an old cheap iron I have and a pillow case on my arts and crafts table-
I did cut out the middle of the letters, and just used plain old scissors. I cut around a little into the color to make sure I had all the white off. I used my cricket paper cutter to cut the straight lines straight, and again went into the color a bit to make sure all white was off.
Marne did the names around the Mickey head, animal kingdom names and names with color border. Mandy did the name fills and the water design shirt. Barbara did the Hollywood studios. Marion, Sarah, Mel, and especially Dee helped with all my invites, treat coupons and other good stuff.
This is what I learned from the experience- it was much easier on me long term to go through the designers photo buckets and then ask for a specific design then to start a new post with a generic request. Even if I was asking someone to create something new, I asked specific people based on their designs I saw. Don't get me wrong, generic requests are great, but I found it much easier to do specific ones, especially when your waiting for a response. Generic requests you never know who is going to answer or if it will be answered.
Last piece of advice- I highly, highly recommend buying the photopass plus prior to your visit. We didn't do it, and I am so sorry. We did the regular photo pass and made sure to get photos all the time. When we looked at the photos we loved them, so we bought the entire download (they give a lot of extra photos also based on where you went)- so I can make some photo books. The regular photo pass doesn't include and you can't transfer the pics on the rides or at the restaurants to that pass, BUT THEY DO transfer to the photopass plus, and they are downloaded to your computer and they give you the license to print anyway you want- plus the photopass plus is cheaper if you buy it in advance-
