Baloo............
I love your mailbox...that rocks.
I washed & dried my shirts. I took them out of the washer & put them on low in the dryer. They were ruined when I took them out. I had another shirt that I washed with the darks.....I thought I might be able to salvage it cut it was all cracked when I took it out of the washer. Don't have a clue what I did wrong.
Oh well.......I hope others have had better luck.

Did you turn them inside out before you washed them?

Did you try putting the overlay back on and ironing them again? Sometimes that will help with the cracks.

I hope that you can save them. I feel really bad for you.

I love your mailbox Baloo!!! Where did you get the Disney stencils from?

Thanks to all of you!!

They're not stencils.DS Erich has a bunch of Disney coloring books.I found different pictures of each of the Fab 5 about the same size.I traced them onto computer or typing paper,whatever you call it.Then I cut those out and then traced around them onto the mailbox.

Disneygrl36 The dryer even on low would have done that but I can't figure out why it cracked in the washer! I feel just aweful for you!

I adore Lumpy as well!!

Brendita -- Was wondering if you found a Halloween Heffalump image on a clipart site that could be used on a tee. I found the image of the actual DVD on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007Z9R6G/002-2843139-2001663?v=glance. Maybe the words on the pumpkin (or under the characters) could be changed to Happy Halloween.

Ok, no takers on my request from yesterday so I thought that I'd download PhotoImpact and give it a try myself. I started downloading, but with my dialup connection it was going to take 10 hrs and 45 min to download so I guess that is out. Is there any good deals on PhotoImpact now and how hard is it to learn. I know Printshop well, but my version is older and has many limitations. I have Photoshop elements, but I really don't know how to use it and don't have a manual as it came with my scanner. I'm up for any suggestions.

Too Cute! My kids LOVE the Heffalump movie and are so excited to get the Halloween one. BTW, did I mention that we decorated the entire house on Saturday for

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????

Yes, I'm a Halloween addict too! Complete with inflatable monster, spiders and webs in the bathroom (which I had to remove because my kids were too scared to go potty- not a good idea with triplets! ), pumpkins, scarecrows...

 

[momof2OH]

I will get the Carl Edwards posted tomorrow, and can the wonderful Diser (who's name is escaping me at the moment) please be so kind to clean it up for me. Thanks!!

 

[scoutsmom99]

Thank-you to all for the feedback on my design! I love the idea of adding photos and I did put a Chernabog in one for Pooh 67_68. Also midnite than-you for the text ideas...I'm just trying to decide where to place the text lol.


Is it just me or for some reason I keep tweaking the design...I have gone through about 10 different versions of it since Sat night. Anyone else ever have this issue?

 

[Baloo]

I thought someone might like these.I found these cute Halloween cliparts over on Disney Direct.
Go on over there and enter the sweepstakes.Grand Prize a trip to DL!!!

Here's the Carl Edwards

 

[Steffy]

I hope I am thanking the right designers.

I believe Julia and Nick's mom did the Playhouse Disney. Well my grandson didn't want to take it off. Pictures are coming as soon as I find my usb cable. No still haven't found it. Did locate the power adapter, so the camera is charging as I type.

I also think you did the it's my birthday and all I want is the world. Well, I wore that to work today. It was a blast.

Momof2oh, I know you did the Even Mickey loves the Eagles. I had that on the back of my birthday one. That got raves!!!

Can't wait to get my camera connected. I have to post pictures. My son-in-law can't wait for his missing Monday night football shirt. He saw the transfer and fell in love. He loves tshirts.

Well, if I keep getting the response when I'm in Disney in 4 days that I've gotten at home, it will be a blast.

So far my transfers still look great. I didn't wash the shirts first and I'm not washing them until after my trip. They really look just wonderful. I really mean it. Just wonderful. Can't wait to find the cable for my camera.

I can't thank you all enough.

Baloo, really adorable mailbox!

my3princes, what do you think of this?

 

[rosiejo]

I have a problem. My dh bought a shirt the last time we were at WDW. This is the design that is on the back of the shirt.
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/my3princes/grumpy1web.jpg

He wants to wear this shirt while on our trip. I am trying to keep us all in matching shirts so I came up with the idea of making similar shirts for me and the boys. I want to change the dwarf and the wording, but keep the overall design the same. I have been trying for hours to either create a similar design from scratch using Printshop (it doesn't allow me to create the same shapes) or separating the design into layers so that I could change the dwarf picture and wording using photoshop elements, but I could not figure it out. If anyone wants to take on this challenge I would so appreciate it. My dh is a Mechanic by trade and a car junkie as a hobby so he would love to have us all in the shirts. Here is what we came up with:

First shirt:
Change Grumpy to Happy, We would use "Happy's Homemade Hotrod's" as the "business" name. Replace Service without a smile with "Service with a smile" and change the bottom wording to "Bring me your junk - I'll add a little Spunk" (could put a hotrod image where the car image is, but not necessary)

Second shirt:
Change Grumpy to Dopey. Use "Dopey's Demolishion Derby" as the "business" name. Replace Service without a smile with "Smash and Crash for Cash". And replace the bottom wording with "When you car's near done you can still have some fun"

Third shirt:
Change Grumpy to Bashful. Use "Bashful's Beautiful Auto Bodies" as the "business" name. Replace Service without a smile with "we add style with a smile" and replace the bottom wording with "Fender to Fender It's great service we Render"

Forth shirt:
Change Grumpy to Sleepy. Use "Sleepy's Stylish Auto Interiors" as the "business" name. Replace Service without a smile with "Sometimes style takes a while" and replace the bottom wording with "We will not rest until your interior looks it's best".

I liked the dwarf images on http://www.greeting-cards-4u.com/pl...0003Disney.html


I know that this is a huge order for someone and I understand if no one has time. Sorry that the image is not horizontal, but it was the only way I could get it to scan on my scanner.

Thanks a million.
Deb

Wow Deb they are AMAZING ideas for shirts - I'd offer to help but I'm not quite good enough with Photo impact yet.

One thing I can help with though - if someone makes these tees for Deb can you do away with the apostrophe here: "We will not rest until your interior looks it's best".

Sorry I'm a copy editor and these things tend to jump out at me

Did you turn them inside out before you washed them?

Did you try putting the overlay back on and ironing them again? Sometimes that will help with the cracks.

I hope that you can save them. I feel really bad for you.

I haven't made my shirts yet so this my be a silly question but if we wash them before we transfer (to get rid of any stain resist etc) why do we have to wash them again after the transfer?? Surely they're still clean?

Thanks to all of you!!

They're not stencils.DS Erich has a bunch of Disney coloring books.I found different pictures of each of the Fab 5 about the same size.I traced them onto computer or typing paper,whatever you call it.Then I cut those out and then traced around them onto the mailbox.

I clicked on your mailbox link to have a look at later when I finished reading this thread, and I was getting more confused by the minute - when you said mailbox I instantly thought email - and then when you said about tracing colouring books I thought what on earth is going on... then the penny dropped! We don't have many "mailboxes" in England - usually just a hole in the door for the postman to put the letters through!!

my3princes, what do you think of this?

It looks better than the original!!! That's an amazing design

Deb,
I have also had the same trouble with PS Elements... I downloaded it from the Adobe website.. but it came with no users guide or anything.. so I did a search on Yahoo and found a website that has free video tips and free tutorials.. as well as a newsletter that gets sent out every month but that costs about $50 a year!! I'm thinking about getting it though.. I really want to be able to do stuff like some of the tallented people on here do.. esp since I just spent all that mone on the program to begin with!!! I can help out a bit.. I'm learning as I go .. but starting to understand layering!!
