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

[Cinderumbrella]

Hi everybody,
It's nap time at my house so I thought I would check in and see what all you DDA's are up to. I have enjoyed looking at them so much that I have dared to make a few of my own. I would post, but I don't have a photobucket account.
Actually they aren't even T shirt designs per se, but rather I "scraplifted" N&Js Mom leave a card for the kids each day idea and started making those.
Since I don't have a fancy program I have just been using Word and inserting Word Art for the text so I can get the cool patterns, inserting a "text box" for the background of my designs and inserting a photo (from the many wonderful sites you have listed) and fading it down.
It's been a lot of fun- no wonder you are addicted!

At someone's recommendation, I have only been using transfer paper for dark shirts, even on white shirts. They said the colors came out better on the paper for dark shirts. For those of you who have used both, what have you found to be the difference?

Do you notice a distinctive white edge around the design or in the middle (i.e. between the graphic and the words) when you do this on the white T's?

there is a special area you can park in - if I didn't have a stroller - I wouldn't care about it - but have you ever tried to get a double stroller on one of those trams!?!? While struggling with two little ones?

you still have to pay for parking but since I am staying on property and have an annual pass - I have that covered but would just like one for the convenience - certainly not a dealbreaker!

I booked with AAA, but don't pay off our package until oct 15 which is too late for you. But, you can have mine for future use if you want it!

The one time I used the paper for dark on a white shirt I had a user error. I didn't cut out the design. I figured it had a white background and the shirt was white so why bother. Well, because the transfer paper and the special overlay paper are the same size, the overlay paper didn't really cover the edges of the tranfer paper. So the edges of the transfer paper got too hot and melted on one side... thus getting a bit bumpy. In the future, I guess I should trim the design down a smidge before ironing. There wasn't any more of a distinctive edge around the rest of the paper than there is when you use it on a dark shirt. BTW, I use HP paper.

I am afraid that with the light paper that all white areas (like the clouds in the Jen & Berry's design below) would come out the color of the shirt not white. Is this a correct assumption? Is there something I can do to the design first to ensure the white areas stay white?

Thanks!

Jennifer

Ah yes, the one shirt washed. Me too!!

Hey, at least you know where your luggage is! We just moved and I looked everywhere at the condo... no luggage. I'm going to have to go through the storage area in this house! looking for luggage. My storage area is half the size of my entire condo!!! I'm in trouble.

I called Disney Direct and they can't get the Mickey luggage to me in time.

I will be landing at MCO in 8 days. with all of my earthly possessions in a black garbage bag if I don't get a move on!!!

I'm right behind you! We will arrive in 9 days! Good luck finding your luggage.

 

[bengalbelle]

We're there for 6 days too, so this is perfect! I love them! Thanks

Has anyone made a design with just Rolie Polie Olie? I would like to make a t-shirt for my DN2.5 (1st trip to WDW), but I wanted to check here before I started on a design of my own.

J&N's Mom - I tried to PM you but your box is full. You must have lots of orders for transfer paper and/or designs. Anyway, just trying to let you know that I just paypaled you. If you would, let me know when you get it and it gets sent out. I'm so excited to make all of my shirts, but I just need to figure out the colors.

 

[austinsmommy]

I am in desperate need of some help everyone!!!!!!!!!!! I have been reading this thread for the past few weeks and absolutely LOVE these designs!!!!!!!! There is one problem though...I cannot make any of the transfers since we do not have a printer and my husband will not let me buy one just to make these shirts!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooo, is there anyone out there that would be willing to make the transfers for me???? I would cover the cost of all materials and pay whatever you would think is fair for your time in making these!!!!!!!!! I would need them pretty quickly since we are leaving on October 2nd!!! Please PM me if you are interested!!!!!!! THANKS EVERYONE!!!

A few pages back, someone mentioned that in order to determine her t-shirt colors, she printed several designs on a page and took them to the store. Brilliant idea! How did you get several different designs on a page? What program did you use?

I just tried to open some of the designs I have saved and make them smaller, and couldn't even get one design smaller, let alone several of them smaller and on one page. Any tips would be great!

Thanks!

Oh perfect! Glad you like them!

Thanks, I'll have to try that again. It didn't seem to want to work for me before. But sometimes when you get a little more knowledge, things that didn't work before all of a sudden "click" and you can do it.

Congratualtions on your 1000th post!!!

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.

my DH puts them in his ears when he flies and then he doesn't have any trouble with them - I don't have trouble with my ears when I fly but he used to be restless the rest of the day after we flew b/c his ears were bothering him - someone told us about these and he never has trouble with his ears anymore when we fly

http://www.cirrushealthcare.com/earplanes.htm

I had to fly once when I was "almost" over a double ear infection. I used earplanes and had no problems flying. I think they're great! I don't have a problem with my ears when I fly normally, but with a cold or any stopping up of the ears, I use the ear planes.
