Earlier on in the posts someone mentioned searching Google for large images. In the process I found http://www.disneyexperience.com. I figure this place has already been mentioned and I just missed it but what an awesome site. I have had so much fun downloading pictures and fonts. I did up a few designs and there were some that I really just want to use the pictures for shirts without adding anything, I just gave them edges, etc. I will try to post pictures tomorrow. Another thing I tried and it seems to have worked, is ironing transfers onto some visors. Once again, I will try to post pictures of those tomorrow too. It's 1 AM now and I should have been in bed hours ago. This is so addicting.
Thanks everyone for such a fun thread.
It's become more than a thread...

I second (or third) whatever has been said tonight about the friends we are making on this board. I love coming on here every day throughout the day to see what everyone is doing. I feel like we are all getting to know one another really well by our taste in designs. I would totally be up for a DDA meet & greet in person at WDW or on DCL! But if that happens, the triplets, J&N, and little Isaac must come too. It wouldn't be right without them!

Maybe by the time we meet in person, I'll get up the nerve to load Photoshop and try to make my own designs instead of PMing poor J&N's Mom with my ideas every few days.

Okay, I need serious help, I still haven't gone to bed. LOL!
Here are some pictures, the first two are really just pictures from the site I mentioned before, trimmed a little...

The next two are ideas for my DD...I'm not sure which I like better...

There really isn't much to them, I have been using Print Shop since I haven't figured out PhotoImpact 10 yet.
The last is again just a picture from that site that I trimmed and added a few words...

Hi Everybody!
It has taken me 3 days and about 7 hours tonight, but I finally got through all 376 pages of this thread - and I have the eye strain to prove it!

I just want to say what a nice group you seem to be.
I didn't know there were people worse than me when it comes to Disney fixations- but you girls (and Kevin ) are crazy!!!!!!!! (Don't worry- I mean this in the nicest way possible )

I want to send a personal thank you out to Kate who has made several beautiful designs for me while I have been lurking on you board. I bought the T's today and will buy the transfers tomorrow (oops it's 2 am- later today)

***FYI- Target has the Mossimo junior short sleeved Ts on clearance for 3.98 each, 100% cotton, the fitted style, I got em in white and black but they had several colors at my store***

Anyway, I am so glad I found this thread, keep up all the great work!!

Good Grief I should be in bed but I haven't been able to check in ALL day!!! I was on a mad house cleaning jag because Fri. is Erich's party...like it matters to tweeners...especially BOYS!!!

I got done a little bit ago making an Endor (where the Ewoks live) flag.I goofed up a bit and had to add more so it threw me later than I expected.Then in my muddled little sleepy mind I got the idea to make R2D2 out of a bucket and a mixing bowl!! So I was rattling around in the kitchen looking for parts!! We'll see tomorrow when I'm AWAKE if he actually comes to life!

I've enjoyed winding down reading here..it's the thing I do just about every night before hitting the sack.

Morning all! I woke up this morning to find more amazing designs!!! Thank you to everyone for their hard work - I can't wait to make some shirts! I do have a question - I have decided I can't wait until our JoAnn's opens to find transfer paper... Where else do you find it? I have searched our Michael's, but found nothing. We don't have a Hobby Lobby... Any other ideas? Can you order it online somewhere? Sorry if this has already been stated before. I've been reading mostly in the wee hours of the morning, and can't remember if it was on this thread earlier. Thanks again for your help! Hope everyone has a great day! P and PD to you, Tink! Have fun packing to all of you going to the world soon. We will be there for the race weekend - DH and I are doing the Komen Race and the 10K. (Oct. 8 and 9) Oooh - maybe I can make up a couple tank tops for the races by then.... Have a good one!!!

I found that photoimpact and photoshop (which a lot of the designers are using) was way to complicated for me. I purchase PrintShop 20 Deluxe at Office Depot for around $40, and it does a lot and is quite straight forward. I've had pretty good luck with it. However, you do need to find clear clip art (no white boxes around it). I haven't found any "magic eraser" with PrintShop. Just a suggestion if you want to try and not spend lot of cash doing it.

Edited to add: This was my 1000th post!!


I have The PrintShop 11.0 and you can get rid of the backgrounds, Once you import your clipart or photo select effects from the top menu. Then chose crop and orientation. There is a freehand crop option. You then have to make a series of clicks (leaving dots) around the image. Once you completely go around the object the dots will magically connect and then you select cut it. If you are happy with it select ok and the background will be gone.

You can get transfer paper at Walmart, Staples, Office Depot. I would guess anyplace that sells computer printing supplies. Remember they make a light transfer paper for white shirts and a dark transfer paper for all other colors.

We will be in MK on 10/9 too! We are changing to MGM that night.That will be our first day in the parks. My girls will be wearing lots of designs from J&N's mom. Maybe we will see you there.

I too am in a panic! We have had a countdown posterboard since 100 days and hung streamers at 25. Now I am just worried how to get it all done. My non-Disney obsessed friends think you just throw things in a suitcase. Being a DDA makes it all more complicated.

We LoveTheMouse
Cool! If we see the designs on your kiddies we will say hi!

Julia & Nick's Mom, if you are in MK-am or EPCOT-pm & you see 3 kids with your designs please say Hi..I'd love to thank you in person for your hard work!!!

Hope to see many of you while we are at Disney!!!!!!!

What kind of T Shirt Transfer paper is everyone using??? I bought a pack at AC Moore and It printed out nice and ironed on easy, but when I did it on a colore T shirt it "dulled" the picture. Also where do you find the transfer paper you use??? Thanks!!!

I have been going to AC Moore at least 2x a week for more supplies..nuts I know but I am addicted!!! I have been using the Burlington/Printworks transfer paper. I use the "light" paper only for white shirts & the "dark" for everything else. I use the shirts from AC Moore 50/50 poly cotton blend & so far so good.

I responded with....." great picture. Have you visited the homemade tshirt thread??????"
