Your book is gorgeous! Do you make it ahead of time and have the characters sign it, or do you add the autographs to the book later?

I did both. In the beginning we needed them all, so I just made up new pages and also brought along blank white cards for new characters I hadn't got to yet. We bring the whole book in the parks.

It was great to look through while waiting in lines.

Then it got to be toooo heavy to carry so now we either just bring the individual pages we still need or blank autograph cards.

I'm actually working on my 2nd daughters book now...will post pics when I have a bunch to show.

Thanks for your kind words!

Your pages are beautiful. I am working on a book for my DD's now and was going to go digital but after looking at your pages you make me want to scrapbook. I just don't know how you find the time to do all the details to those pages.

[Calirya]

ok sooo did I totally miss the pictures? There were no pictures on that first page.

[Calirya]

Sorry apparently my work computer is blocking the pics. I'll have to try when I get home.

Marshay,
What size scrapbooking paper did you use for all of the pages. It looked like 12 x 12, but i wasn't sure. I think they are beautifull. You have inspired me to make a book! I found stickers @ joanns, but I will look online to see if I can find a better selection. Thanks! I hope you get your other pics up soon!

[Marshay]

SORRY guys!! I totally forgot to post my new pics and of course got all caught up in our January trip. I will try to find the new pics and post.

It was definitely a labor of love. Now it seems I only get to scrapbook if I book a weekend Crop! But I do want to get back to it more. Next year my youngest is in 3 day preschool so I'm already looking forward to the extra days!!

I do know that my daughters love feeling the stickers and embellishments, so I still do both digital (vacation photobooks) and regular (paper) scrapbooks for Autograph books and their baby books.

I used an 8x8 album for both Autograph books. I also made an interactive Disney book for the plane in 2007 and a Disney ABC book in 2008. They are really cool too. All of them were 8x8 which I find is a good size for the kids.

I do 12x12 for their baby albums.

So here is the start of Elizabeth's Autograph book. I changed it up so her book will actually have two (or more) characters on one page. Rachel's book has just gotten to be enormously big -- beautiful, but too big to take into the parks.

So with Elizabeth's book, I just have the sticker, space to sign and some embellishments. However, I do plan to put a very small (like 2x2") photo 'somewhere' on the page if we got a good photo to share. I"m sure she will like to see herself with the character.

I may have to only paste the photo on one side so that it can be lifted up to see the rest of the autograph underneath. I haven't started on the photo yet.

These are the pictures of the pages I took prior to our trip, so no autographs.

From bottom: Rapunzel, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty and Ariel. These are 3 dimensional stickers which Elizabeth loves to touch! I kept it simple.

[Marshay]

From bottom:

Snow White, Belle, Pocohantas and Cinderella.

I used a shimmery yellow (not sure if you can tell in the badly lit photo-sorry!), the 3D stickers and a silver sparkly ribbon to hide where the two pages join together.

Again, a simple design but Elie liked it (and that's all that counts!)

[Marshay]

The top is Flik and Atta from It's a Bug's Life and I thought this page was cute. The bottom matches up Tiana and Mulan and is my favorite Princess page for Elizabeth.

[Marshay]

Lastly, I wanted to combine the characters for Toy Story together, since some of them sign and others do not. And I thought why not just make one big page?

Then Daisy and Donald of course had to go together on their own page.
