***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 2

Yep, already ruled out the olive. The pumpkin really makes the writing pop and the gold blends well with the blue and green in the background.....especially since the green is kind of yellowish. The light green shirt I have is actually a light olive and it doesn't go at all with the background green. I'm taking them into the office tomorrow and will print it on paper on the color copier and can lay it out full size on the shirts. I'll definately post a picture when I'm done making the shirt.

I got that pm from Kate as well- how sweet she thought of us while she is on vacation.
I feel so good right now. It's good to spread the PD isn't it???

Yes it is!!!!!!!!!!!! I have that warm fuzzy feeling... or is that the DIET COKE????????????

 

[Steffy]

I'm in big trouble and I need my dda friends.

The first thing my beloved dgd said when I walked in, "I still don't believe you left without me,Ma Ma" The trip with tinker1bell was the first time since she has been born that she wasn't at Disney with me.

I'm beginning to believe it might progress into one of those "moments" you have as a child, where you stop trusting your parents or grandparents.

I know I'm a little mellow dramatic, but my guilt is really off the charts.

Can I... am I ready, and finally.... how many matching shirts would I need for 3 people for 7 days right after Thanksgiving???

I'll need MVMCP tickets and shirts. CP shirts and the dinner package.

I cannot believe I am entertaining another trip 45 days away!

Promise, when you put the net on me, to be gentle.

I must be losing my mind.... or I love this child more than breathe....

Not to worry rosiejo.
Everything is carry on size.
My bags stay with me.
I have been lucky never had to chech bags.
Even when we went to Paris for 2 weeks.

My DS once checked his bags.
They found his bags 2 hours before he was to leave again.

2 hours before he was leaving!! What a nightmare! Wish I could get everything into carry on! I obvioulsy take waaaay too much stuff Obvioulsy this year I have an excuse as I have a stack of wedding paraphenalia (sp) to take with me

 

[rosiejo]

You sound like me. My family thinks I am crazy. I am going February 15-22, 2006 and I have been reading and planning for a month already. My son wanted to know why I need to read these guide books since I had been there before. LOL I love the planning part almost as much as the actually trip. LOL

I'm planning this trip like a military expedition - where should we go and when - I have an excel spreadsheet and it's colour coded Then I'm making luggage tags and tees and postcards and a book... I keep waking up in a cold sweat thinking I've forgotten something or worrying I won't get it all done in time! I've been planning this trip for a year and have just over 20 days to go :0( I LOVE the planning bit

 

[rosiejo]

Here's my Disney Mom bag graphic so far! I've been working on it in Word, but I transfered it to Paint so I could save the image alone. (That was tiny in one corner with white all around - can't figure out how to fix that, so I pasted it into a trial Dell Photo Studio file and was able to save the image alone.)

Hope this works - my first time adding a picture. I uploaded it to my gallery in the DIS Community Photo Galleries.

What do you think? Does it look too cluttered/busy?

I'd kind of like to have a Simba and his Mom clip (willing to replace Incredibles or Chip if necessary). Has anyone seen a good one?

Looks perfect to me - great design

 

[rosiejo]

CheriePenguin
I took out all the little DWW for you.
I hope you don't mind.

I've been doing that on all of his images before I use them... I hope he wouldn't mind

 

[rosiejo]

I just got a PM from Kate!!!!!!!!!

This is what she wrote.

OMG!!!!!!!! You are amazing!!!!!!!! We had a perfect day Saturday and I met Daisylove on the way back to my room so I couldn't believe that anything could make my day better - and then I came to the room and found my TOTALLY awesome surprise!!!!! We love it - Nick has not put the stuffed Mickey down that he got - my mom commented - how do they know you are a diet coke addict?!? Julia believes the Belle and the princesses sent it to her b/c they love her - I will report on this later - but she got to ride the teacups with Belle (again) on Saturday and then we had dinner at LTT with Minnie - so the gifts were perfect for our day!!

I had just been in the gift shop buying milk for Julia when I saw the wine glasses and thought - those are so cute - I might have to come back and get them - but there they were in my room -

I can't even begin to thank you enough!!!!!!!! You really added a ton of pixie dust to our vacation!!!!!!!!

Thank you!!!!

 

[rosiejo]

Can't wait to post the pictures... DH commented that he FINALLY understands why this is addicting -- he wants to make more! I don't think there is enough Diet Coke right now!

Marti

We'd figured that one out already - isn't he staying up all night making new designs for us to see!

(I hope that's your husband I'm talking about or I'm gonna look really silly! )

 

[rosiejo]

On Saturday we went to MK and of course Julia wanted to go see Belle's storytime - I had a plan ready to help tell Belle that she and Julia had ridden the teacups in May so Julia would not be hurt that Belle did not remember her - imagine my surprise when I walked by and it was OUR Belle!!!!!! She is no longer at Belle's storytime and I think her being there on Saturday was a TOTAL fluke!!!! During the story - she immediately saw Julia and winked at her - Julia was picked to be Chip in the story and Belle talked to her about how big she was getting and about her bracelet that Julia had given her!!!!

Belle could not do her usual meet and greet but told us to stay behind - we did and she brought us to a private area so she could hug on Julia

she then told Julia - I think we should go ride our special ride together again - and off they went to ride the teacups together - I was in disbelief!!!!!! It was a magical day!!!



Kate

Great to hear from you Kate - I can't believe Julia met Belle and road the t cups again - she is one lucky little girl

 

[Cajun Princess]

Kate - Great to hear for you but you are suppose to be enjoying your vacation. Sounds like yall are have many magical moments
The story about Julia and Belle is just to wonderful. Hope your trip stays magical
Can't wait to see the picture

 

[monicatb]

Do you print your designs in different sizes to fit each member of the family? I'm buying my shirts in adult sizes small and large, and child sizes 6-8 & 10-12. Should I print everything letter size?
Another question, can you use regular white iron transfers on color shirts? I'm thinking red, blue or yellow, not black.
Thanks for your advice. Love this thread.
Monica

 

[Tammi67]

I, too, got the PM from Kate. Also read her post on here. Sounds like she is having a Magical time. Not only did we spread PD to Kate for all she has done here, but her children are just as thrilled as she is. What a good feeling that is. Enjoy your trip, Kate!

Monicatb - from what I understand, and I have not done my shirts yet, but the only thing that you should use white transfer paper for is the white tshirts. Everything else, even lt. pink, should use dark. I think I read on here quite awhile back that someone learned that from experience.

To all of you leaving in the next few days, I wish you safe travels and a wonderful trip!

 

[ljb9539]

I love it!!! Can you please post the Mickey lying down? I can't find it anywhere!
TIA

[Brendita]

Julie&NicksMom if your out there.
Where did you find internet use.
I don't have a lap top.
I would love to keep up while on vacation.
As I will be gone 2 weeks.
I'll need a week just to catch up when I get back.

 

[Brendita]

Brendita...I see one thing you forgot on your list....ME!!!! Your DS Halloween costume looks amazing! Is the purple sparkley fabric? It looks just wonderful and DS is a cutie pie!


Baloo I would love to have you & your DS come along.
Our boys are same age.
His Halloween costume is purple with little stars all over.
I added gold braid & a crest to the front.
The hat is a cowboy hat I dressed up with the gold braid & a feather.
I'm proud of this outfit.
Mine didn't turn out so well.

 

[Good Ol Gal]

Hi everyone~

I am looking for a design for my DS. He will be turning 5 while we're at WDW. He shares his birthday with Walt Disney, December 5th, and I was hoping for something that would include that.

Any suggestions??

DH and I are going to MVMCP, ALONE!!, and eating at the Cali Grill. Do you think it would be ok to wear a tshirt there? I wanted to make the MVMCP design that Kate posted a long time ago.

This is our frist trip with Grandma and Grandpa and I would love to have some type of shirt stating that.. but can't think of anything.

Our group will be G&G (first timers), dh, me, ds10, dd8, ds6 and ds4(turning 5).

We will be doing the FMT and I was going to make a shirt for that too. Did you finally decide on a design for that Denise? I know we're not going to be there the same day...

Thanks for any suggestions everyone!! I would love to make the tye dye shirts, but I just don't think I will succeed at it.

Also, can anyone point me to where I can find suggestions on the paper, shirts, etc. boy.. I'm asking alot here huh!

What Transfer Paper is preferred by All? I did my first one last night, but think I toasted the paper and thus the image. It's not as bright as I had expected, but my wife say's it looks fine. I put it on an Old Navy Long Sleeve shirt and she can always wear it around the house.

Celebrate her third B-day everyday I guess.

So my questions are:

What paper is recomended for using?
Where is the best place to get quality shirts?
Do I put something between the iron and the design?

Sorry for the silly questions, but I'm getting addicted.

Thanks!
