A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[hidingmickey]

We just print them on card stock, not a photograph. You could go to a craft store (don't know if I can name them here but places that have people's first names ) and buy scrap booking supplies/adhesive to stick photos to card stock. Personally we use adhesive that comes in a handheld container and you drag it across the back of the photo then stick the photo. Hands stay sticky free, no peeling, no spray to get all over everything! Ours are blue and clear and you can get refill packs for them too.

Some people have printed them as photos though right? Did they turn out good? I just don't want to use a lot of ink.

[hidingmickey]

Yes I am sure some did print them as photos. Hopefully they can chime in as to whether glossy or matte is best. I would also wonder what sort of pen they used, does a sharpie take a bit to dry without smudging? I know Buzz used a stamp and my guess is that will likely not dry fast on photo paper but I could be wrong.

I made mine through shutterfly and it turned out great They are 40 percent of right now

If I use shutterfly I won't be able to go back and add the pics from the trip to it though. I wanted to do that, but I really want the pics beside the signature.

I have printed mine as photos and using scrapbooking tape to adhere them to cardstock. I am just wondering how many pages people put in their autograph books when they do it this way? If I do all of them they seem quite thick so debating on if I should split into several books.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

I love your designs!! We are headed to Disneyland on Dec 26th and at the last minute I decided to make an autograph book for my two girls, Kyndee and Abbie......Could you possibly do a 4x6 cover for them? They are 1 and 2 so anything Minnie Mouse or Princess would be great.

Thanks so much if possible!!!

Wow...took me a week to get through all that!!!

Great designs and great cards...is there a way to group them up in a zip file to download? There are so many and it'll take forever to download them one by one.

Either way, would it be possible to make me two separate covers with the whole gang and blue background with Walt Disney World 2013 on top and
the names

I'm still debating how to go about the printing process...heck I don't even know if the little one will be interested in autographs.

Photos, photo book, plain sketch book...

Thanks!

Has anyone used photo lab at target? We r already in Florida and don't want to give up just yet on the autograph book - even though DH had to have surgery yesterday (yes that's right we r already on vacation) to remove a sewing needle from his foot! Really want to make this special for dd 4 who has not had the best vacation yet

Thanks!

I am making 2 autograph books- trying to decided between an 8x8 or 5x7. Which is bet for kids and characters ?

[godiva99]

I am trying to print using excel but the images, while sized to 4.01 x6.01 are printing 6.25 and 3.75

I used excel in order to mark where i need to cut since i dont' know how to do that on Word and my photoshop program is on my DHs work computer and he's not home yet.

Any ideas?

[godiva99]

Ok so I know, it's new years and I'm here, worried about printing my autograph book!

But...i'm going by Staples on Wednesday and need to get these printed and cut.

Is there a clean cut format you use on word for it? I'm particularly interested in something with lines or "bleed cut" markings to make cutting even and easy. I made a template on excel, but the card prints a tad wider and shorter than 4x6! It looks good anyhow once they'er cut to 5.5 x7 cards (1" top part of this), but it's still a hassle. I want them to print 4x6 because I'm not sure if I'm going to place them in a photo album, scrap them or just leave in the book. My cards arent' exactly all even yet

I'm already setting the margins to 1" on top and bottom and the side margins to .75"

Happy New Year everyone! 2012 got crazily out of hand, but I am hoping for a little more peace and Disney DISign time in 2013. If your request does not appear below, please re-request it, and I will get to it ASAP. Thanks!

8x8 pages allow for two characters per page, and 5x7 are better for one character per page. If space and/or weight are an issue for you, I would recommend an 8x8.
