DISign Help!

[muffinator]

Hello everyone! A while back I posted regarding a summer reading program challenge I issued to the kids at work. If they read 50,000 minutes I would dye my hair. Well we've got the rest of the week to go and they are up to 47,759 minutes so I think they'll reach my challenge- and my hair will be pink.

I'd like to make a shirt that says:

Bottle Of Hair Dye - $12.99
Custom Shirt - $8.99
Trip to Disney World - $1,200
Dying My Hair Because My Kids Read 50,000 Minutes in 42 Days - Priceless

But all my designs have turned out blah.

I'm hoping that all the talented and creative folks here would be willing to help me create a nifty design for a shirt. I would prefer it to have a rounded background (rounded squares are fine, just no pointy squares) and be fun and cheerful. It doesn't have to be Mickey themed. The shirt I have to use for a transfer is mint green (can post a photo if desired). The wording can be changed if you have a better suggestion as well. Thank you so much in advance!

Here is a quick design, I can tweak anything, the font I don't care for, just an idea. The green background is just to give you an idea on your shirt.

WOW! These are so great! I ♥ Mr. Incredible with pink hair!

Belle is perfect! I love that you found a picture of her with a book and then made her hair pink. Especially the whole library tie in.

Thank you both so much! I think I'm going to try and find a couple more shirts, so I can make multiple shirts.

Especially since it's now definite that I'll be dying my hair. After two more kids they are up to 48,500 minutes- with two days to go!

Can't wait to see the total minutes and the pink hair.

Can't wait to see the total minutes and the pink hair.

As of around 5:30 this evening (I had to leave early for a meeting with Recreation) they were up to around 56,000 maybe a bit more!

AWESOME JOB by all the kids!!! What a fun way to challenge them!! I am a HUGE advocate of reading--- especially in the summer when they're not in school!

OP, I replied the 1st time you posted about my ds8 (2nd grader) wanting to read 4000 minutes over the summer (our reading challenge ends 09/08). As of yesterday he's up to 3106 minutes!!!! I still wish our librarian would do something like this... you are a a hoot!!!

Two things- First I wanted to post their final total. As of our finale party yesterday they had 59,821 minutes!

Second- Marion, I was wondering if you could do another quick disign for me... I would like to put their total on the back of the shirt with the disign you made me, but I want the fonts to match. I would love for it to say (centered):
59,821 minutes
Chesley Memorial Library
New Hampshire
(I debated on the town, and then decided to keep it out for safety reasons).
I know you are super busy, but would really appreciate if if you could. Thanks in advance!

Hampstead is my favorite vacation spot in all the world!

That is perfect! Thank you so much. I really can't tell you how much I appreciate your making me these designs.

I have a friend who works at the Hampstead library!

I just wanted to send a quick post with the results of the challenge. Behold, my pink hair!

I love that you did this to challenge the kids to read this summer! I feel so lucky that my DD8 loves to read! Pink just might be your signature color!

So, how long will you keep your hair pink? Is that another challenge read-a-thon for the kids?

LOL, it will stay pink until it fades out and then i will re-color it to my 'natural' shade. I haven't decided if I'll do it again next year with a different color!

Here's a picture of the finished shirt!

I want to say it was rumblytumbly's but I'm not positive. Once I get my computer back I can check my documents folders and let you know though... (my computer goes to my mom's when we leave for vacation) unless someone beats me to it!
I absolutely love the design you mad me too, I can't thank you enough! It's going to be perfect for work as well.
