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

[triplefigs]

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!

Elizabeth

Hi, Elizabeth. I am going to use that last FMT shirt Kate made if the kids don't dress up like Hook, PP, and Tink. The one with the hook going through the map with all the characters.

I can work on a B'day shirt. PM me with details (name, characters, colors, any other ideas).

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?

Thanks!

Trust me - since I just ironed all our shirts yesterday, these are not silly questions!!! All iron on transfer paper is NOT created equal!! I used three kinds of paper yesterday; one purchased from Michael's for light t-shirts, some purchased from BJs Wholesale Club for light t-shirts and some for dark shirts that were purchased through this thread from Ebay. By far the Ebay paper was the best. I didn't have to iron as long and the transfer looks the best. It was the easiest to work with and I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I'm not the person who ordered it, so I don't know how to order some. I believe the person who ordered it previously is currently in WDW. So maybe one of the other people on this thread can point you in the right direction -- I recommend this paper highly.

The most important thing to do with any of these transfers -- read the directions specific to the transfer you are using. Each is different and yes, it matters.

PM me if you have other questions.

Marti,

Did you use the light or dark that Kate got on Ebay? I have both and haven't done any shirts yet.

Denise:

We purchased the dark transfer from Kate. I watched Marti do some of the shirts last night and by far the dark transfers seemed to work the easiest. The most time consuming thing was trimming the transfers, and she did an excellent job. I will take some pics later and post.

4 days and counting...

 

[mgkkgdm]

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! )

yeah - it's my husband we're all talking about!! He is a bunch of fun - you should see him when he's at Disney!!!!

Why is everyone talking about me like I'm not here ...

Hi Honey, nice T-shirts

4 more days and counting...

Hello!!!!

You guys all rock!!! We are having a PERFECT vacation and all the pixie dust you all have sent is DEFINATELY working!!

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!!!

We returned to the resort and then I ran into Daisylove!!! That was REALLY cool - and then I got to my room

and all I can say is WOW!!!!! The gift basket was overwhelming and amazing - my kids love everything (Nick is now snuggling with his bank and Mickey) I have pictures to share when I get home!!!

Denise posted my PM and that pretty much says it all!!!

You guys are the best - I miss you all!!

BTW - could you all stop posting so I don't have to take so long to catch up!!!

I think there is a thread with over 20,000 posts - so we have a way to go to get the record!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowds are pretty heavy - but with a good plan - not a problem - today was lighter and hopefully - will get better!! It is HOT HOT HOT!!!

My room is awesome - with a lakeview at WL!!!!!

I have to go to bed so we can make the opening of the MK -

THANK YOU!!!! I will talk to you all soon!!!!

Kate

I have to say it again. Running into Kate was like running into a celebrity. Very cool to get to meet her in person!

Anyone doing Christmas shirts? I just found this image: http://lnx.ginevra2000.it/Disney/sfondi1/disney-christmas.jpg

 

[JnEsWDWMom]

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?

I know I'm behind (What's new, huh?), but this is cute!! I don't think it's cluttered at all.

Celebrate her third B-day everyday I guess.

Thanks!

I have to tell you, I was LMAO!!!

Thanks. I needed that!

And I was the one who used a light/white transfer on a pink shirt. Don't do that!!!!

When I started using the dark transfers for all shirts, the colors were brighter and the shirts came out much better.

Welcome!!!

Thanksgiving DCL shirt

 

[tink2020]

Denise....

while you are at all the LOVELY DCL shirts, may I put in a request?

I wasn't going to start thinking about cruise designs until much later, but I didn't know if it would be easier for you while you are on a roll.

I would love a shirt or two for our cruise next year. It is a surprise, and it will be on the Wonder, celebrating DH (Kyle) graduating from medical school, myself graduating from nursing school, and our 2nd anniversary.

I was thinking of 2 different designs (graduation and anniversary), but if you are feeling super creative and could combine the two, more power to ya.

Again, we're not even going on our family trip for another 2 months, which is 6 months before the cruise..... but I couldn't help asking with all your new designs! No rush or obligation!

Jennifer,

Will you PM me so I can save it to work one? Are you sailing the Magic or Wonder?

 

[miss missy]

I don't think I will EVER catch up on this topic I just grows and grows!!

 

[tink2020]

Jennifer,

Sure! We'll be on the Wonder, and again -- no obligation, I'm sure you are busy! I just love the designs and love the idea of ANOTHER round of shirts.

I'm Jennifer, and I'm a Disney Design Addict.
