Thanks for the inspiration -- pics of shirts I made

[jgee1999]

Hi,

I never planned to do any shirts for our upcoming trip (I'm leaving next Saturday!) but couldn't resist after reading trip reports and threads about t-shirts and mousekeeping envelopes and autograph books. I am not very creative and all you DISigners are so talented that I had to give it a try. So, armed with lots of links and Photoshop, I made my first attempt at t-shirts.

My husband didn't want to wear anything splashed across the chest so I compromised and made Mickey ears to put over the left breast. He was, however, willing to wear a big "Thing 1" on his back.

Here is a picture of the Thing 1 thru Thing 5 for the family. I took the character and put it over the left breast. Thanks Amy for this design.

The "1st Vacation" ones were my very first attempt. I found a Mickey ear blank (sorry, I don't remember which DISigner I found it from) and added the words "Our 1st Magical Vacation 2008". I did pink font for the girls and blue for the boys. I didn't realize the blue would come out so dark, but that's ok.

I saw an article about a trading pin that has the Star Wars imperial symbol with Mickey ears and thought that was a great design. My kids love Star Wars too. I took a blank and found a picture of the imperial symbol on the web. Then I photoshopped it to clean it up a bit.

The Tink one was a blank from EverydayMathChick and I added my own words. I can't remember where I found the Yoda and Mickey one, but thank you for letting us use it.

I still hope to do some pictures to decorate our door but I'm not sure if I'll have enough time.

Thank you again to all you creative DISigners. I love looking at your work. You are very talented and your designs always makes me smile.

Great shirts -- definately don't look like a first attempt! It's nice to see that someone is using my blanks. I don't mind personalizing, but it's good when ppl can figure it out some themselves. It makes the shirts so much more "rewarding" when you've had a hand in designing them.

Have fun on your trip!

I love the "Thing 1," etc. shirts. Is there a link to shared files for these? I haven't seen these before....

Thanks for all your kind words. I couldn't have done this without the help of all the creative DISigners. I should never looked at that forum. It's as addictive as all the others. Now I don't know where to spend my time reading.

Shelly36, The Thing 1, Thing 2, etc. I found on a thread here when someone asked Amy (aka M_I_C_K_E_Y) if she could make them number up to the teens for a large group. Then I just "borrowed" Thing 1 - Thing 5.

I looked at Amy's site but only found Thing 1. I've tried to go back a few pages to see if I could find the thread but I couldn't. I'll keep looking a bit and will post the link if I come across it.

I'm trying to get my kids to bed now but will see if I can post the Thing 1-5 that I have later tonight or tomorrow.

Wouldn't you know that the moment I finish loading up my Thing picture onto Photobucket, I find the thread.

Here's the link where Amy made one up to Thing 15.
