I posted this in the main planning area but someone suggested posting it here.
The photo below is very blurry. The actual cards are clean, clear and crisp! Email me if you would like the card set. agomberg@yahoo.com I did the cards in Publisher
I am really happy with the way it turned out. After looking at some character websites I added some characters. The total of cards is 124. The Little Einsteins and The Dwarfs each got two cards.
Someone asked me how to put the book together and her is how . . .
1. Print the cards on cardstock. You can use scrapbook cardstock or Hammermill makes a great cardstock.
2. Cut the card on the black lines. Either use scissors or a paper cutter. Paper cutters are available at kinkos to use if you do not have one. (Side note keep the paper cutters away from little fingers!!!)
3. Put the cards in any order you like alphabetical or by movie.
4. Take the cards to a Staples type place and have them bound with a plastic binder on the five inch side. The margins are made in the book so the binding holes will not effect the words or clip art.
5. Add a retractable Sharpie markie with a string to the binder.
6. Whe you return home place a photo on the left side (or the back of the previous autograph.)
or . . .
Organize the cards is a coupon holder and bring a little clip board. Have the character sign the card and then bind when you return home.
I have not decided what I am going to do. I am leaning on binding before we go because if you use the plastic binder you can remove or rearrange the cards. My DH thinks I should put them in alphabetical order so I do not need to think about what movie they are in. He might be right. I may rearrange the cards by movie when we get home.
Two other changes I made are . . .
1. I removed the June 2007 from the cards.
2. I added a cover at the end and I also added several blank pages.
The clip art came from http://www.disneyclips.com/movies.html.
