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

Here is a photo of one of the five t-shirts I made for my husband's 40th birthday. Each shirt had three different photos of my husband when he was a baby. Since we went with his parents, my FIL had all pictures of him and my husband, my MIL had only her and my husband... you get the idea. Now let's hope that the loading of my first picture goes easier than the iron ons did!!!

That's us getting ready to be the grand marshals on his 40th birthday... his only birthday wish. Thank goodness for a lot of praying and a little pixie dust, and his dream did come true.

How neat!!

I can work on the Cinderella invite -

since it was brought up - my kids get a Mickey note every day at Disney with an invitation for the day's activities or a good night from a character and there is always a little treat with them - the last time I went I made about 20 of them - does anyone want to see them?

Yes yEs YES!!!

Thanks for the tip about uncompressing the graphics in AOL to enable me to save the designs as JPEGs. It worked like a charm! I figured the problem was with AOL but had no idea where to start (and no time to start looking ). Thanks a bunch!!

Terrific idea! Those shirts like really high quality. Do you know where you got them?

1. Where do you find CLEAR clip art????

try www.magicalears.com

2. What programs are you using?

Photoshop and Swift 3D

3. What are the best quality transferrs to use?

This, I dunno.

When I actually do tees, I will let you know. But for the time being, here are the mousekeeping envelopes... They aren't this low res, but I didn't want to bombard the place.

Great use of the images!

Hi Midnite!

here are the cards - the quality is not so good b/c I cut and pasted them into a jpeg just to give you guys an idea - if you want them higher quality - I can work on them over the next couple of days

 

[MidNite]

Hi J&N's Mom! Great cards!

 

[Danauk]

J and N's Mom, I love your firework design on your site (where wishes come true). Could you add New Years Eve 2005 underneeth it for me please. I would love to wear in where ever we end up on New Years Eve (we haven't decided exactly what to do yet - suggestions welcome from anyone.)
Thank you so much

I'd love both princess ones and the mickey mouse one, because we are also doing dinner with him.

This just makes my day!

Kate - you have me in tears already this morning!!! I *loved* the card designs.....do you have them accessible on the internet anywhere yet? Rather than bother you with specific card requests, I could just grab the ones I want. What size card is the finished version? I have never done cards like these before, but I think Aurora would really be thrilled to get them. She's really into getting "mail" now....she writes letters back and forth with her Grandma who lives across the state. And you are so sweet to offer to work on the German design for my son, too. I will email you the image of Mickey in his Lederhosen, thank you so much.

I am also in tears this morning!!!!! Thanks for sharing those cards. My trip isn't until 12/06 and I already have a long t-shirt file started. Now I will have to start on morning and evening cards for the kids for everyday. Thanks for sharing your creative ideas with me. My husband doesn't understand why I am sitting here in tears.

 

[lmartin2711]

OOOPS....guess I need to work on my ticker........sorry

 

[TracyA]

I didn't have much time yesterday, so I only made two new Mickey heads. And someone asked me for a better quality Dis green one, so here it is.

Not to get OT, but, for the mousekeeping envelopes, how much $ do you generally leave? I researched on "proper tipping" and most of the advice I found was $1/day in less expensive hotels (staying at all-stars). I was still planning on leaving $2/day b/c I am going to ask mousekeeping to hide some "treats from tinkerbell" in the room each day. (read that tip on another thread...it cuts down on the "i wants" if they know there is something waiting for them in the hotel room....also no kicking and screaming over the mid day break!)

I professionally clean condos in the summertime. Most ppl won't leave a tip, so I have to say I appreciate any amount of $. I've even gotten excited over finding quarters in the couch cusions. What frustrates me about condos is that most people "live" in them for about a week and there is no maid service DURING their stay...and very few of them will clean while they're there unless, say, they run out of clean cups/towels. Yet no tip. In addition to basic maid services (sheets/towels changed, bathrooms scrubbed, carpet vacuumed) I often had to do ALL the dishes, clean spills out of the fridge and burner pans (shrimp juice, ukk!) and scrape congealed food off the dining table. When my kids were babies and we went to a resturaunt and they made a big mess, I always tipped extra b/c I knew I was making more work for them then the average customer. OH well...done griping now.

I try to leave $1 per person per night. But, I really think it's just personal discretion and finances.

What size card is the finished version? I have never done cards like these before, but I think Aurora would really be thrilled to get them.

I'm sure Kate will tell you what she did but if I were going to make them I would use card stock and make them 3 1/2 x 5 so that I could just print them from my photo program (I use PictureIt! by microsoft) and they have a template to print four 3 1/2 x 5 photos on a page. Or you could print two 5 x6 or 5x7 cards to a page.

Love the cards by the way!

I just sent you an email

also - since I know you are all the types of moms who would LOVE this - this is Julia's autograph book:

I preprinted the cards - it was a great icebreaker with the characters and they LOVED that their pictures were on the cards - we took some blank ones for characters we didn't expect to see and I printed them once I got home
