There is a cute house that I thought about using to design me a PC shirt. Can yall help me come up with a cute saying to go on it. I have four line of space. I have put The Pampered Chef® on one line, but need something for the others. There are two lines above the house and two below the house.

I just placed an order yesterday for some FREE stuff, I wish I could have done it both on the same order.

I thought about putting "Helping you pamper your-chef!" and my website under the house. But would love some other good suggestions to choose from.

The shipping is just $.47 right now with just the t-shirt.

Whether you love to cook, hate to cook, or just plain must cook
with The Pampered Chef your house becomes a home

Not feeling so creative right now... sorry :( Good luck though... sounds like a cute idea!
 
p.s. how did you get a free tshirt from vistaprint?
 
Just curious, why the house? (Besides that it was cute)

I did not see anything that was food and I thought the house looked like a wholesome family pic that has a kitchen in it that needs some kitchen tools.

Do you think some of the others would be more eye catching?

I got an email today with the offer in it. If you will give me your email address I will forward it to you from my yahoo account. If you do not want to post it here send me a pm.
 
I see what you mean...I just checked their site and their "restaurant" pictures were pretty bad. It looks like you could upload your own picture though. There are some pretty cute chef clip art pictures on here.

The house is super cute, but I think that food would draw more attention. Just my two cents.....:)

The Vista email advertising the free shirt caught my attention too. Let us know if you follow through with it and how it comes out!
 
I like Alison's idea.

What first came to mind for me is something along the lines of "your house or mine, I'll do the cooking" but the other idea sounds more homey to me.
 
HomeThe Pampered Chef is bringing families back home for dinner!

Pampered Chef -
Discover the Chef in you and share it with those you love!

Good home cookin' from the Pampered Chef.

I would like the link for that free T-shirt too. PM me!

Debbie :D
 
Debbie,
If you give me your email I can forward it on to you!
 
I like

I think it would catch people's eyes. Especially in this day in age where everyone is so busy!

I want the link too, PLEASE!
 
I love the ideas, but I didn't think we could have anyone other than licensed vendors use the tagline or 'The Pampered Chef' on any materials. I could be very wrong & I don't mean to be a downer, I just don't want to see any fellow cheffers get into trouble. :) I apologize in advance if I make anyone angry.

I was just thinking the same thing.
 
I got the same email offer and ordered my daughter a t-shirt with a birthday cake and had "I'm the birthday girl!!" printed on it. It will make a great gift for her to wear on her 10th birthday next month!

Sorry for the semi hi-jack, but it was so cute I just had to share!;)

Hmm - I didn't get the email for the free t-shirt from them. Wonder what is up with that??? Could someone please forward it to me?? My email is in my signature. Thanks in advance!

You can use the phrase "The Pampered Chef", but you need to add the Registered Trademark symbol in order to be completely legal. You cannot upload the logo for use on things like this.

And we are NOT allowed to use the tagline ("Discover the chef in you") on ANYTHING, including in our email signatures.

I really like this one. This wil probably be the one I use. I can put it below the house - I have The Pampered Chef above the house right. It's short and to the point.

Do you think we Can we use any clip art with a chef hat that isn't our registered Hat logo if I looked on Microsoft gallery clipart?? Then used one of these creative tag lines to create a shirt? Thanks for your suggestions Ann they are always so helpful!
 
my director told me we're only allowed to have shirts from Merrill. I was going to have some embriodered that I got from a store nearby but I was informed that I cannot do that.

any opinions are welcomed. PM me...

AT one of our meetings we went over this and they said we could make our own shirts but could not have our logo or the name on it, so someone was going to design a chef hat with our own created logo like have you been pampred today or something similar.
 
I have some shirts "for chefs" in my Cafe Press store, but I didn't use the company name anywhere. You're welcome to look, if you'd like ideas. Just click here.

I'm strictly a Word Girl, but if you would like to create your own stuff, it's really easy to register and/or open up your own shop.

However, there is another cheffer who has some cute Got Chef? stuff, and hers have graphics. I can't recall who it is, though.
 
I guess I will have to register and play around with it! I love Got chef and would love graphics added to the back of the shirt! The other cheffer you were referring to is no longer a Cheffer long story ... but I'd rather not go there.

Oh, sorry. I haven't been around very much in the last couple of months.
