A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book - Page 204 - The DIS Discussion Forums

MusicMouse,

Would you mind creating a cover for me? The name is Ashlyn and she would like the princesses in front of the castle (any girl color for the font). The book size is 8x8.

Thank you!

Thanks, I tried this and it worked.

My 1st post! I've been reading incessantly for weeks after my parents surprised us with a family trip this May to WDW. I want to start making stuff and these covers are amazing, you are so talented, MusicMouse!!! My kids were too young last time to do the autograph thing, but at 5 and 7 they will be the perfect age. It's a surprise birthday trip for them, so let's hope I can make these books undetected. May I please have 2 covers for them when you get a chance?

Star Wars background - (can it just say Nolan's, instead of Jedi Nolan's?), he is really a clone commander kind of kid, but that's just too long to fit in there.

Castle background with princesses and mickey balloons - Finley's Autograph book

Thank you, thank you!

I tried creating a 12X12 book in artscow using the 10X10 images from some folks photobuckets. I have made sure that the pictures are the correct size in my photo software, however, when I put them into artscow, the pictures are too big for the page. The software to create a photo book is not very user friendly, so I'm having a hard time creating the book, Anybody with experience using this software got any clues to help?

Never mind, Figured out how to scale the pages in the artscow site, but sure would like to know why they don't show up very clear....Resolution looks low and in fact, some of the pages have a warning on them that the dpi is too low...Any thoughts?

I'm glad that you figured it out.

The dpi requirements that the photobook sites use is for photograph clarity. Since our images are more animated than photographic, you should be fine. I didn't realize that you were doing a 12x12. You will need covers that are square, so I redid them

Hi Music Mouse,

May I put in a request for 2 front & back for 8x8 autograph book.

I need one for a girl - with all the princess in front of the castle

Abby's Autograph book -- Cover
Our family vacation Walt DisneyWorld 2013 -- Back

I need one for a boy - Do you have any with (disney Jr characters & mikey and the gang)

Jake's Autograph book -- Cover
Our family vacation Walt DisneyWorld 2013 -- Back

Please let me know if this is doable... If not no worries I love hard work.

Thanks,
Carla

Sorry, I couldn't go back through the whole thread, but I'm looking for more 8x8 autograph pages! I have already looked through the ones linked on the first page, and used a lot of them for the autograph book from our 2012 trip, but looking for new ones so I don't have to duplicate for our 2013 trip! So if you have any 8x8 pages or a link to your photobucket that isn't included in the links on the first page, please share!!

Carable · 02-04-2013, 11:12 AM

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I really appreciate the time to personalize and post for everyone.

MusicMouse,

Where are covers located? Looking to make 5x7 books for my 3 kids...I wish I had seen this thread sooner. Our family trip is in 3 weeks...so I'm scramblin' to try and get these together. I am looking for 3 covers 2 girls and a boy. For the girls I am looking for princess or fairy covers, for the boy either the star wars or cars theme. Where can I look at them?

ArmyWife7 · 02-04-2013, 06:56 PM

Thank you! I made personalized autograph books last year with your covers and they were a huge hit! The characters loved them and many commented and looked through the books.

DEBOHIO · 02-04-2013, 07:12 PM

Music Mouse-it is so nice of you to help so many people and make their Disney vacation more memorable. First post-trip with grandkids in April. Could you do the princesses at the castle purple or blue font to say Ariana's 2013 Autograph Book. And also Pirates of the Caribbean to say Alex's 2013 Autograph Book.
Thanks doing 5 x 7 pictures on book.

Carlakins81 · 02-04-2013, 09:21 PM

I am looking for some blank autograph pages with borders for a book that will be 8x8. So I can have 4 pages at the end of the book. Some ideas I was looking was various charaters on the bottom of both pages... or mikey & minnie heads as the border..
Can any one help? I haven't seen any...
