I'm super confused, sorry that I know I'm doing this wrong! I don't know how to choose a DISigner (or even if I spelled that right!) because I'm not sure exactly what the name of what I'm looking for is!! We are going on our first cruise 1/14 and I bought an FE on ebay. I love it but want our names on it, or at least our family name. I posted in the cruise forum about how to do it and someone suggested I ask you talented people if one could be designed for us. Cool! But I'm down to the wire I think cuz I still need time to get the material and do the ironing on. Anyway, if someone is willing to help, and walk me through the info you need, that'd be awesome. I think I just want mostly our family name in Disney letters, and maybe our individual names on pockets if people actually do that. Thanks in advance!!!
 
Hi - I was the one who recommended you come here from the the DCL pages...try absolute_mandy from this link below. Check out a few of her name designs then just to go to the last page and describe what you are looking for. She made me 2 names, one with princesses and one with minnie mouse - very cute and she was fast.

There's another person I used where he as his stuff all organized in photobucket -you just find the design/design # and describe what you want. I have a the photobucket site saved but will look for the post. again, very fast and easy. :goodvibes
 
The other one is RustManFan and here is his link http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2757178

You only have to find the design # from his photobucket line (I think its in post #2?) and post on the last page of his thread..like this:

I would like design #123 with the name Michelle
I would like design #234 with a mom (Lisa - blonde hair), 2 girls (Mary - blonde hair, Kate - brown hair) and dad (John - brown hair)

He will put your design in the same folder you found the one you like (if I recall correctly). His design collection is massive.

They are the only 2 I've used -but there are several others. Have fun!
 

However, RustManFan is definitely NOT a him. (see my signature for explanation of my id)

Mandy is a better choice for names. She is so good that I have done partically zero lately. Happy to do almost anything else!

You are welcome to visit my DCL folder and see if you want something personalized.

I'm thinking Mandy's may be too big for our FE though, so I'm waiting for DH to get back to me on which design he likes. I like the pirate bandana ones a lot & I think I could shrink those enough that you could still read the names and yet fit one on each pocket. Do most people put names on the FE pockets themselves or just their family name?

Does anyone know how I would just type "The Smith Family" in Disney lettering?? I'm leaning towards just doing that on the top?
 
go to dafont.com and retrieve the waltograph font. place in your fonts directory in Windows and you will be able to use on all your software on your PC. If you want a specific size DISign, you should specify that up front! :thumbsup2

Some of us DISigners have never cruised, wouldn't know an FE if we fell over it so can't help you with sizes. :confused3

Are the images that you do resizeable? I haven't heard back from DH so I'm probably gonna make an executive decision. :) I've already wrapped the FE for the fam for Christmas, but I think I can figure out an approximate size from the ebay description. If I let you know by tonight do you think you could throw something together? I don't think I'll need anything created, just our names added to some images you already have. Thanks for all your help!
 
images can usually be resized a small amount but not dramatically. it is best if the DISigner (including Mandy) have the size up front and then the DISign can be made appropriately.
 
I looked closer at the FE and I think it's busy enough without more stuff on it. I think I'm just gonna print our name in the Disney font and add it to the top. Thanks everyone for the help!!!

Um, I think I'm really clueless... I can't find waltograph, or any variation thereof on this site. Any other ideas??
 
Cool, thanks. OK, so now that I have the font, any tips on how to get it onto the FE? I know I can cut out iron-on fabric, but honestly I'm not sure how I can cut out such intricate letters in such a tiny size. I think it'll need to be like 36-point font to fit on the FE. I thought this would be simple but suddenly I'm feeling really dumb!!
 
koquinn: one tip...if you want me to do any DISigns for you, please read my signature and knock off the quotes....PLEASE? Quotes bug me.
 
Um, sorry... I thought you meant you didn't want the designs copied in quotes.
