I can't find where to order the calendar(s). Looked on cafepress website, too. Any help?

pintogirl · November 04, 2011, 05:03:37 PM

Ok, the show calendar is ready.

Don't forget, if you are a Charter Member, you get a discount. So shop in the Charter Member store.

Non Charter Members can find the CafePress store on the left side of the screen under the shout box.

Hope you all like it. Oh, some of the pics may be kind of grainy on the actual print. I had to blow some of them up larger.

pintogirl · October 26, 2011, 01:13:54 PM

Ok, the non show calendar is done. I think! I don't know how to make it a "Preview only" type of thing so you all could proof it and make sure I spelled everything right and got names right where they were used. So if you can for now just go proof read it, and not actually buy it, then let me know if there are any mistakes, that would be great. If you don't care if there are mistakes, then go ahead an buy them up!! LOL

Charter Members get a discount, so go to the CHarter Member forum to get to the CM Cafe Press. Non Charter Members the link for the Cafe Press store is in the left column under the shout box!

Hope you guy's like it! I tried to use all the non show pics I could, that were sent. Mark, I ended up having to put you on the front cover.

blupinto · October 24, 2011, 10:37:54 PM

Consider it done!

pintogirl · October 24, 2011, 06:46:17 PM

Ok, guy's I need 3 non 40th Anniversary Pics. Preferably from people that haven't already sent me pics. Anyone else out there want their car in the calendar???

Becky, you need to send my some more pictures of Ruby, not at Carlisle if you can. I need 4 of the size pics you send me last time. Also send me some Carlisle one's. Although I may not need them, I haven't went through the photo albums others have sent yet. There maybe some of yours in their albums?

I am doing one calendar with non show cars, and one with Carlisle and other shows. I am 3 short for the non shows. As far as the show pics, I'm just going to basically take photos from the albums people have sent. I am not going to put info on the pics per say. Maybe just the show it was at, if I have that info.

Reeves1 · September 30, 2011, 05:18:50 AM

E-mail sent. Let me know if you got it.

Thanks !

80_2.3_ESS · September 28, 2011, 06:57:56 PM

Photo's sent!

I also sent some pic of the isles at the Carlisle PA show, with all the horses lined up, in case you want to throw some of those in there too.

Enjoy!

pintogirl · September 28, 2011, 01:27:16 PM

Becky, just send me 4 to 6 of your smaller pics!

Also, everyone, if you send show car pics, make sure you let me know what car show.

No, for now we don't do a nomination type selection. There isn't enough people that submit, to have to worry about that! LOL What I have been doing is either sharing a months page, or maybe even doing 2 calendars if I get to many submitions. If I do 2 calendars, some cars may be used in each calendar or sometimes I just throw random Pintos in there that I have take pictures of. So it may be a surprise to someone that didn't submit one! LOL

Send your pic to myhrdly@gmail.com Just make sure to include your user name and what you want said on the calendar. Keep your info short though so it doesn't take a lot of space. I have been known to edit some info to make it fit! Make sure your photo is fairly big also. It's easier for me to shrink a photo to fit the calendar then it is to blow one up. They come out fuzzy when blown up. If you don't have a big photo, send 4 small ones! That goes for everyone. Becky too! LOL If you don't have larger pics, send me 4 of what you have!!

Thanks for the info. I will send some pics tonight to you for my car, I will send a few and you can either pick or use them all, doesn't matter to me. I will be sure to send a little blurb about the car. The car (a 1980 ESS) was my dad's (he bought it in late 80 with 3,000 miles on it), and has been in the family since. A nice little hand-me-down car

I also have a whole bunch of pictures from the Carlisle meet, they are just your typical car show pictures, so they may not be that good for the calender, but maybe for the cover or something. Let me know if you want those as well.

blupinto · September 27, 2011, 06:08:45 PM

Ok anybody here got a picture of Ruby at Carlisle? I guess the camera settings were wrong, and it might be too late to change the pix already on the camera (I haven't erased the pix yet)? Thank you in advance. $:-\$

Sorry if this has been covered before, but being a new member here, I had a question about submitting photos.

Are we able to send in pics of our own? Or is it like a nomination type deal? I have some pretty nice pics of mine, but I don't want to submit them if I am not supposed to / not allowed.

Thanks, and I will keep my eye out for when they come out!

Do it yourself don't deal with Joel Moyer in the states. He took all the money from the first calender. I lost $3,500

He's long since vanished from the site. I think the last time he was around here was in 2007. Still think was he did was horrible & it's not a shocker to me that he did go away, as there has gotta be a target with his name all over it.

If you are talking about doing the calendar myself, I do. I make it on Cafe Press. Then just share the link in the PCCA store. Easy Peasy! LOL The hard part is getting all the pics and the info people send for them, on the picture. A lot of photoshop time! That is the time consuming part. Maybe next year we will do just a picture calendar with no user info! LOL

kim here are a lot of great stampede / carlisle pics if you have time to make some collauge type pics. what is the dead line for pics? phil

Can you send them to my myrdly@gmail.com address, and put 4Oth in the subject line!

Oh, anyone sending pics of of a show, please put 40th in the subject line and also in the email include what show it was at.

As far as a deadline, how about Oct. 15th. That will give me the end of Oct. to work on them and hopefully get them done by mid November. I hope that will give me enough time!

LOL

I would think that would give everyone enough time to order and receive their calendars before Jan 2012! I think it only take about a week to week and a half for
cafepress to send them out.

Kim, would you prefer to have a pic of the car from Carlisle or a pic not from Carlisle?

Send me one from Carlisle. I need more 40th show cars.

So far I have mainly got non 40th Anniversary show cars. So I am doing one on non 40th cars.

If you do have some pictures of the show cars, please let me know in the email it is one from a show and what show it is from.
That way I can keep the 2 calendars seperate. Now if I don't get enough of the show car pictures, I will most likely just
make one calendar in a 40th theme and just mention somewhere on that month, that the car is from this show or that show. Make
sense?

pintojim · September 18, 2011, 07:33:38 AM

Me and my wife Doreen were both on the Stampede can we be included on the calender ??

mkplatt · September 18, 2011, 12:25:46 AM

This may help to simplify the question regarding image size. The size of a photo quality print increases as the megapixel (MP) size increases. As an example, a 3MP digital image will create a photo quality print 6.82" wide x 5.12" tall. In contrast, an 8MP digital image will create a photo quality print 10.88" wide x 8.16" tall. Simply stated, try to send in a digital image with your camera set to capture photos at 8MP or higher. The larger the MP size, the larger the picture. BTW, file size also increases as MP size increases, so I would think an 8MP to 10MP digital image would be about the right size. Hope that helps.

I do need to be a little more tech-savvy and figure out how to take bigger pictures. lol. Help Kimmy!

It's all in the camera's settings. If you don't have and owners manual, so a google search for one. That would be your best bet. I can't really help unless it is a Canon Powershot! LOL That is what I have!

Awww shucks...(toe in the dirt, blushing)... thank you Matty.

r4pinto · September 15, 2011, 11:25:32 AM

I say that Becky's 71 that was at Carlisle should be the first Pinto honored in the calendar. Her car was recognized to be the epitomy of what a Pinto was meant to be. Since she & Ruby were recognized so much I think it is only fitting.

phils toys · September 15, 2011, 01:56:04 AM

rob does have some great graphics 40th theme great idea

TOMMYS · September 14, 2011, 10:44:53 PM

I think doing the calendar using the 40th Anniversary theme is perfect.This has definitely been the year of the Pinto.Rob(rally2) has some really cool graphics that need to be on it,(maybe the cover,or smaller on each page.One is the new PCCA logo which has the Pinto logo in it,and the other is the 40th anniversary logo.
