Got DS's Autograph Book Done!!!!!

[wendypooh]

I finished DS's Autograph book - Thanks Natalie - I used most of your autograph pages - but, I did create a few of my own!!!
Also, the cover picture is the NEW star wars weekends 2010 official design......... (or so I was told by a little birdie) ;);)

Anyway - I ordered it through ARTSCOW and it came in today............. OMG - it is GORGEOUS and SO perfect!!!! I almost cried!!!!

It is the hardbound 5x7 book with 42 pages - it cost $17.98 - with FREE shipping!!! (Oh, this also includes $2.00 to have the artscow logo removed)

I cannot say how happy I am at how this turned out.............. :banana:

It looks gorgeous!!! I've been debating about ordering a book or printing at home, and this definitely makes me want to order a photo book! Is your last page from donatelie or another disigner?

[JSwitzer77]

It really turned out great! The quality is amazing! Your DS will cherish it even more since it was custom made just for him!

I knew I didn't want to make my own............ LOL - I'm just amazed at how nice it turned out. The pics are a little bit "blurry" here - I didn't edit them I was in such a hurry to post..... but, the finished book is NOT blurry at all - it's perfect.

As for the last page pic........... I want to say it's Natalies, BUT - I'm just not sure........... I have so many graphics saved - it's hard to remember. I'll try to find out though!!

Thanks............ I wanted a "keepsake" for him - and this is just exactly what I wanted - he has tons of the books you can buy at the parks - but, this is SO much nicer!!

Oh - also wanted to add - the book looks silver in the pics.......... it is white, with like a pearl essence sheen to it - almost "sparkly" - not exactly sure why it's like that - as I ordered the basic white.......... but it's gorgeous and adds to look. I just LOVE it!!!

[MusicMouse]

That looks fabulous, WendyPooh! I'll bet your DS is going to love it! :goodvibes

[donatalie]

Wendy..... this looks FANTASTIC!!!!~!!! I've never done a professionally printed autograph book. DD wants way too many pages and it would cost me a small fortune!!!!!

btw.... I will take credit for the back page design!

[chaoscent]

Looks great.:thumbsup2 Penny:hippie:

[jtanddolly]

Great job!!! Love it! Did you add white space around the autograph pages before printing?

[wendypooh]

Hey Sweetie!!!

Thanks.......... It turned out so good......... I'm beyond pleased with it!

I let DS pick the autograph pages he wanted............ but, I have NO doubts if I had a girl - it would've been over the top!!! :goodvibes

I "thought" the back page was your design....... just couldn't remember, so thanks for letting everyone know!!!

AND - we miss you - pop in more often if you can!!! :hug:

[wendypooh]

Great job!!! Love it! Did you add white space around the autograph pages before printing?

Hey Dolly - Thanks!!

No - I didn't add the white space - when I ordered it - you basically go through a process of positioning the picture onto the page of the book - so, I kept it that size as I didn't want it to fill up the entire page - which basically left the white border........ it isn't a border though, it's just the page - if that makes sense. You actually see how it will look, so you can edit the size of the photo onto the page.

Wow that looks great! Do you mind telling me where you order it from because i have been looking all over for hardcover 5x7 photobooks and i can find one. :confused3

TIA

**Edit: Sorry, i just reread your post and realized that you already named the site. :)

[elizablake]

Great job! It looks perfect.

[ksloane]

It's beautiful...I want to do a hardback book for my daughters this year...I keep seeing everyone's and wanting to more, but having a harder time deciding exactly what to do...:rotfl:

[danagirl]

I love it!!! I just ordered our passport books using Natalies Disigns. I can't wait to get them!!! I got 2 books with 30 pages(i didn't need that many but i needed more than 20 so i filled the back with Epcot autograph pages) and it only cost me 20.31 with free shipping. This makes me even more excited!!

[wendypooh]

funny thing is.............. now that I've gotten this one made........... I want to make another one for our character meals............... LOL :rolleyes1

[M_I_C_K_E_Y]

Wendy,

That Photo Book looks great! I showed my 13 year old and was surprised when she said that she liked it and wants one. I thought for sure my children were past this stage and am happy that they want one.

So, thanks to you, it looks like I will be making some for our next trip!

(I know this could come off as being sarcastic but... Seriously - Thanks!)

THIS is what I want to make for our trip. Thank you for sharing. If I can ask...the ones you customized...how did you do that?

(Edited to remove the quoted pictures...I'm new and it may have been nice if I was asked a little nicer to remove them...even a gentle PM to suggest it would have been nice. Thanks.)

[scrapah1]

Wow they look amazing, I have never used artscow so now I feel better checking them out.

[wendypooh]

THIS is what I want to make for our trip. Thank you for sharing. If I can ask...the ones you customized...how did you do that?

First - can you PLEASE go and edit your post - quoting back the pictures takes up too much space - so please remove them!!! Thanks

Second, I'm a designer here as well.......... so, when I said that I customized a few of mine, I meant that I made a few pages - they are not Natalies.

[wendypooh]

Wow they look amazing, I have never used artscow so now I feel better checking them out.

I had never used them either............ just heard reviews here that they were good. I was BEYOND PLEASED at the quality - and the clarity of the pages - Again, almost all of the autograph pages I used were Natalies - so, if you use hers - you should be fine with the quality of the image once it's printed - as our book is amazing!!

If you want to see Natalies autograph pages, you can look in her shared files. She posted a comment on the first page of this thread, there is a link to her shared files in her post!

[2angels]

It looks great!!!

I apologize if you took my post as offensive - It absolutely was NOT meant to be! Sometimes "reading" it, might make it come across a lot differently than what the actual intent was........... I NEVER meant it to come across that way! Also, since you are new - welcome!

*** and just an FYI for anyone reading this........... PLEASE don't quote designs or photos back in your post.......... you will notice that in almost every designers thread they ask this - it takes up so much space to host the designs as well as space on the boards - that we ALL ask that you don't do this. NOT at all trying to be mean, it just takes up too much space - I hope everyone understands! :goodvibes

[kamikazecat]

Your autograph book looks amazing. I am thinking about making one for our character meals. We are doing deluxe dining over a two week period and have 9 character meals booked. :scared1: Does anyone know where there is a list of which characters are at which meals? Thanks! :goodvibes

If you go to www.allears.net - there is a dining guide, with all the menus and which characters are where. :goodvibes

[Nettaboo]

can you help me find the last image that is Donatalies??I have been all through her files..I found the other one that has a group but not that one.. I want to make an autophrograh cover with it..thanks!!!

[Nettaboo]

Quick Question..did you do your book in alphabetical order or did you put charachters that go together-together (like Cinderella with her step sisters)

[wendypooh]

double post

[wendypooh]

I'm not sure where Natalie has hers at....... I saved it a long time ago, but, here is the one I have saved. As for our book, yes, I just did it by characters that "go" together.

[Nettaboo]

Thanks!!I appreciate it!!I was up trying to design a book on that site but it wouldn't let me add pages past 60...:rotfl2:

[popedisney]

Just ordered DS3 autograph book today from artscow....5 x 7 61 pages and only $13.00! I received a code for a free 5 x 7 with 30 pages but of course I went over!:goodvibes I was debating on doing this type or printing them and having them bound (which is what I did last time). This way actually came out cheaper and I think it will last longer! Thanks again for the pictures...I will post pics when mine come in..oh and I used Donatalie's 2008 designs...simple but I love them!

[melham]

Wendy, your book is BEAUTIFUL!! I was just thinking that my next step might be an autograph book so you have inspired me to start looking at autograph pages! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I ask why you would do separate books for meals and not put them all in one book? As I am typing that question, I am thinking there is a probably a thread already set up for that question :) AWESOME BOOK and I love the printing idea!

Thanks - Actually, I let DS pick out the characters he wanted for this book.......... it was BEFORE we had decided on meals.......... I wish I had waited - as some of the characters at the meals aren't added in his book! That's the only reason why I'm considering another book........... I should've waited, but, I really wasn't thinking along those lines.............. I thought, he can just pick who he wants to get autographs from................ THEN - I realized (too late) that he might want the characters at the meals.......... for example, we are doing 1900 - and the stepsisters are there........... well, he doesn't have pages for them in his book...............

Anyway - I haven't fully decided yet if I'm going to make another book or not...... as this book does have a blank page............. :confused3

I am working on my daughter's...take a look..any suggestions??

Tpimental... I have to say.. I would have taken the request in a snotty fashion as well. People have to learn how to state things on the net as messages can be conveyed in a RUDE way. A private message would have been more polite, especially considering.. if you look under your screen name to the left.. it does, if I'm not mistaken, state when you joined.. which in turn would prove you are a newbie. I was in the same shoes you are. Not only that.. when you join this board.. we are too eager to get in and read the info.. and neglect the RULES thread first. It happens.

Sorry you were treated that way and I hope it does not keep you from lerking around the DIS, as I have found it to be EXTREMELY helpful! Take care!


Editing....Wendy, that was nice of you to apologize to Tpi. I noticed your apology AFTER I made this post.

Editing....Wendy, that was nice of you to apologize to Tpi. I noticed your apology AFTER I made this post.


As stated - my post was ABSOLUTELY NOT meant to come across as "SNOTTY" or mean. I did apologize if it "came across" that way - perhaps it was a little too direct maybe, but, again, I didn't "mean it" nor do I take it that way - as it was not at all mean or mean spirited in my opinion. I'm a little bit offended that I'm being told that I need to "learn how to be polite" -and that "I treated her that way", as I sincerely don't think she was "treated" in an offending way. I realize she percieved it that way, which is why I SINCERLY offered her an apology -- I am very nice to everyone here, helpful and giving of my time to ANYONE who asks a question or makes a request of me here. Again, I don't feel as though my post to her was upsetting or offensive, but, I've apologized and it was sincere. And, as I've stated as well, I too hope the OP continues to stick around - this really is a fun, NICE area of the boards.

Also, just as an FYI - almost every DISigner on this board has asked the exact same thing that I did..........either stated in thier threads or in post here -- to NOT quote back designs - the reason for this is that a lot of us pay out of our own pockets to host all of the design request we get on a photohost site - when designs or pictures are quoted back (and sometimes they get quoted back over and over and over again) it takes up a lot of space in our accts. - which then limits the amout of space we have - not to mention that it takes up a lot of space here on the boards - in terms of bandwidth. We are NOT trying to be ugly when making this request of posters. Again, I'm sorry if the OP's feelings were hurt - however, I would like to point out that if she and you had done the exact thing you both suggested that I "should" have done (which I respectfully disagree with) - and contacted me privately - via a PM - it could've been handled there and none of this would've been "aired" in this thread. I can appreciate you defending someone that you percieved was being "done" wrong......... but, that actually was not at all the case, at least from my opinion and I don't think it was really necessary to defend her or bring it up again - as I DID already apologize to her. I just hope this can be put to rest now and everyone can move on. I would ask though that you also recognize that most of us DISigners don't look at someone's "join" date to see if they are new or not.......... we are very busy and I was TRUELY just simply trying to answer her question and point out to her that she shouldn't quote designs or pictures when she replies here. Simply that, nothing more........... again, I'm sorry anyone got thier feelings hurt!

For You and the OP - really, there are NO hard feelings - I hope you both stick around and enjoy this side of the boards!

I really love it:yay:

[bababear_50]

Morning All,,Hello sweet Wendypooh!

Just wanted to pop by and say I appreciated all that you do for everyone here on the DISign thread. I personally know how much time it takes to make some of the DISigns. And Wendypooh I know your invites must take hours!!They are beautiful by the way!

I've read through all the posts on this thread and just wanted to comment.
I saw no ill intent on Wendypooh's part towards others--just stating the facts--yes sometimes what we print may appear to others different but hey
she expressed herself well I felt. All of us here enjoy this section of the DIS as a "Happy Place". We all care and share and yes we can be a tad sensitive but that's because we care so much.

I'm thinking everyone needs a :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: and since I'm the Hugs queen of them all I thought I'd pass some out today!


:hug::hug::hug:


Mel

[kimmar067]

...first of all, let me say that you are very talented for putting together such a gorgeous book! As for the posters who 'got their feelings hurt', I can understand how you may have misinterpreted the message behind the post, but personally, I wouldn't have taken it offensively. I myself am guilty of posting many things which sounded [to me] as funny or not abrasive, yet were taken the wrong way by others....obviously, wendypooh has apologized and has stated her intentions, so, as adults, we can all just move past this and continue the discussion of the autograph book.....after all, it's FRIDAY, so everyone should be in a good mood! :teeth:

[...this calls for Krispy Kreme donuts - I'M buyin'...;) ]

I'll take a donut....or TWO! :-)

[Mammaz]

Thanks for the donuts! Just what we need on a Friday! LOL!

[wendypooh]

Thanks MEL - :hug::hug::hug::hug: YOU are the hug queen!!!! :goodvibes


Kim ----- NOPE, I don't want donuts............... YOU KNOW what I want!!!!!!! :thumbsup2


Yep - that's right.......... DOMES!!!! :goodvibes :hug:

[RustManFan]

I'm amazed that Wendypooh's comments were SO misconstrued.

Us DISigners would never EVER mean to hurt anyone's feelings. Sometimes I type out a reminder on the same subject and I shortcut the unnecessary pleasantries.....this is a forum and we are not writing volumes here!! With so many requests (and not enough bandwidth) I just want to move on.....

My hugs to you too Wendypooh!!! :hippie:

My hugs to you too Wendypooh!!! :hippie:

Thanks Sweetie!!!! You and pretty much anyone else here who knows me - knows that my post was NOT mean, rude or ugly in any way. I know the OP felt it was........ therefore, she was apologized too.......... as a "newbie" (which I didn't know at the time) I guess it could've come across that way........... BUT - there was NO reason for anyone else to bring it up again, as I'm pretty sure for both the OP and myself it was over with. Anyway - I agree with you 100 percent - most of us DISigners are SO busy with request - or answering questions.......... we don't check to see who is new before we answer them. We don't send PM's to let people know things that are posted ALL over these boards - we don't have time for that - nor are we always conscious of being "super sweet" when we are replying to someone ........... it isn't that we are mean spirited.......... not at all - sometimes just being matter of fact - that's all. If anyone perceives it as RUDE - I for one am sorry - sometimes I'm just so busy - I don't have time to be aware that my answer is not "warm and fuzzy"............ ;)

In any case............. I hope it's finally squashed......... and I hope that anyone NEW to this side of the boards does take the time to read the stickies posted at the top of the board AND to READ and FOLLOW the directions EACH of us ask in our DISign threads!!!

AND - AGAIN - I'd like to hope the original OP and the other one stick around and enjoy the DISigns board!!! We ALL really are nice and Welcome ALL!!!!


PEACE - LOVE - and MICKEY :flower3:

But could someone explain what it "quote back designs" means?

I'm still fairly new to DIS and just discovered the creative side.

Thanks!

[wendypooh]

Hi, Welcome - and don't worry....... ALL questions are welcome!!

When someone refers to NOT quoting back designs or pictures, it means, that when you hit the "quote" button to reply to them or thank them for designs...... etc.... it will "quote" the entire thing they posted, if they posted pics - they will be "quoted back" in your post.
SO, when you reply to someone - what you can do is to edit the post to NOT include designs or pics that are there - they will typically have a URL with them, so you'll know what to delete.

Like in my reply to you here............ I hit the "quote" button to reply to you, you can see that everything you wrote is included in the shaded area............ IF there were a design or pics in your post........... they would be "reposted - or quoted back" in my reply to you - if I didn't edit it to remove them. It's really an easy thing to do - hope I explained it - so that it makes sense!!!

Again, Welcome!! :goodvibes

[DaniB]

Ahh, that makes perfect sense! Thank you.

[debbiecarr98]

Wendy..... this looks FANTASTIC!!!!~!!! I've never done a professionally printed autograph book. DD wants way too many pages and it would cost me a small fortune!!!!!

btw.... I will take credit for the back page design!

could i possibly find out where the back cover is located so i could copy it for my kids books?
thanks.

[wendypooh]

It's on pg. 2 - post #29 of this thread. I posted it there - all you do is click on the picture, it will take you to my photobucket - once there, click on the pic again, it will then be at the largest size, click to save it to your computer.:goodvibes

[rescuetink]

Anyway - I ordered it through ARTSCOW and it came in today............. OMG - it is GORGEOUS and SO perfect!!!! I almost cried!!!!

It is the hardbound 5x7 book with 42 pages - it cost $17.98 - with FREE shipping!!! (Oh, this also includes $2.00 to have the artscow logo removed)

I cannot say how happy I am at how this turned out.............. :banana:

Wendy,

How long did it take to have it delivered? My DW may try and do this for my DS and DD for our May trip and I'm not sure time will allow!?!?!? :confused3

See Wendy, I'm trying to get her turned on to the Dis!!! :lmao:

David

Hey David........

I ordered it on Feb. 3rd - got an email that it has been shipped on Feb. 12th and it was delivered on Feb. 28th.

I ordered from Artscow.com - and they are in Hong Kong - but, the shipping time wasn't too long, I didn't think. If I were you - I'd order within the next week or two - to be on the safe side. (AND if you DW sticks around here long enough, she'll become addicted, then you'll kick yourself - cause she'll be here ALL the time!!!) LOL

Just to anyone interested - I used some of Natalies autograph pages as well as some that I made. I saved them to my computer - then I went to artscow, selected the book I wanted then created my pages - basically, you insert the pic on each page of your book, you can resize them to fit the page also............ then I hit the order button - it was really very easy - the "key" I think is to have ALL the autograph pics that you want in a file on your computer - it makes it easier to upload to artscow. Again, I didn't think the shipping time was too long......... and DS's book is amazing!

Hope this helps!! :goodvibes

I'm leaning heavily on making my girls' autograph books through Artscow vs. spiral binding my printed version. If I saved autograph pages from Natalie's photobucket by clicking on it twice to get it to its full image and saved it as a jpeg picture file, will I be able to upload them onto Artscow from a picture file, or would it be better to download them into a documents/download file and then use them that way? I want to do it right before I embark on this project even if it means going through the photobucket again and downloading them vs. saving them the way I already have.

Second question: if I make one book for one of my girls and then want to change the title page for my other daughter so that they each have their name on it, will I be able to use the first book as a template and modify it, then order the second book? Or will I have to start from scratch making the second book? Seems time consuming to have to start all over if only changing one page.

Thanks for the help!!!! I greatly appreciate all of the DISigners and everyone that is so helpful on this board. :)

Did you know you can download the whole album through photobucket? Then you could just save them to a folder and delete or move the ones you didn't want. They would all be the actual size and then you could just upload the whole folder to artscow. If you are unsure if they are saved to the right size this might be a good option. Also you can just change the one page..once you "build" an album you can go back and change what ever you like. Hope this helps!!!

[disneybliss2]

Wow! Great info, danagirl. I did not realize you could download the whole album from photobucket. Is there a certain way to do this, or once I get on Natalie's photobucket site will I be able to "see" what steps to follow? Downloading all of it at one time would save a ton of time.

These books are amazing I really want to make them now for DD and DS:)

[disneybliss2]

Thanks again, danagirl. I'm off to download!

[bethbuchall]

Wendy, that book looks terrific! Nettaboo, yours does, too!

Thanks so much for posting this. I had never heard of artscow. I made an autograph book for our two character meals at Snapfish which came out great, but I think I'll look into making another at artscow, since the price is so good.

Was the free shipping a special deal or do they always have free shipping?

[disneybliss2]

Ok, last question. We have a trip scheduled for mid June. I noticed wendypooh said her shipping time was around a month. I've heard others say artscow takes a long time. Would it possibly take longer? Don't want to embark on the project for it to take two months to ship--if that's the case, I will have already missed the cut off date.

[danagirl]

I ordered mine on 2/18 it shipped on 3/03 and I got them on 3/17...hope this helps...they say 14 business days from shipping date.

[disneybliss2]

Wendy, I know you mentioned at the time you didn't have the character meals so you didn't include those in your book. I'm looking at making a book and right now I have it around 55 pages long ( I know, it's a lot--it's hard to know who to weed out). Anyway, if I add character meals, it would make it about 20 pages bigger. Having yours now, would you have added it all in one book or do you think that would make the book too thick, so instead make a separate character meal book? I've read all of this thread and I know you addressed this some where, but don't recall where so sorry to ask again. Anyway, I don't like the idea of lugging two books around, but on the days we don't have character meals, it would be nice to have less bulk. I'm just worried a 75 page book is going to be really thick. Thoughts from Wendy or anyone who has printed one from Artscow would be great!

I think it was just a special thing going on............. when I ordered his passport - shipping was NOT free - but, the total was only $13.98 - that was (I think - don't remember without looking) around 40 pages or so............

Ok, last question. We have a trip scheduled for mid June. I noticed wendypooh said her shipping time was around a month. I've heard others say artscow takes a long time. Would it possibly take longer? Don't want to embark on the project for it to take two months to ship--if that's the case, I will have already missed the cut off date.

I would say - at least a month from placing the order to getting it............ however - it could VERY EASILY be longer than that - I'd advise giving yourself NO LESS than a month - but order as soon as you possibly can. They are in Hong Kong - so shipping takes a LONG time!

I would absolutely have added them - the book is NOT big or bulky or anything - it's the perfect size - I don't think adding 75 pages will be a problem for you - as you are putting images on the front and back of pages - it won't really be as thick as you think. I'd do it.............. :goodvibes

[disneybliss2]

Thanks for the quick response, Wendy. I know in the end I will be happier having one book w/ characters & character meals combined, but I was worried about the thickness but you've put me at ease. I appreciate your help!

[wildernesswookies]

Hi, Can you post or do you have it posted somewhere the Star Wars weekend picture on the front of the book? (I did not see it in your 4share account)
I would love to put it on a shirt.

Thanks a bunch!!

I did a passport book and it had thirty pages and its super thin..when I got the package I was worried they only sent me one:laughing:. You should see what we are going to be lugging around the parks:rolleyes1...at least they are cute:cutie:.

Oh for goodness sakes! And here I was downloading 1 photo at a time, slowly, slowly... :rotfl:

Thanks for letting us know!!!

[cyndiloveswalt]

Hello. Kind of new to the boards and checking out all the dsigns- so much fun! I have been browsing through a lot of peoples projects, your book looks great. I had a couple of questions. Will snapfish print these books with the disney characters in them? or is that why you're using this other company? Can you put photos on the front cover or even better a photo collage? Did you make your EPCOT passport book 5x7 too? Sorry for so many at once, but any info would be great, and thanks.

[disneybliss2]

I'm so frustrated!!!!!!!! Just went on to Artscow and attempted to make my girls' autograph books. I'm doing something wrong, but not sure the route to fix it. I uploaded all of the autograph pages. Then I clicked, dragged, and dropped the pictures on the page I wanted them to be. The pictures are getting cut off. Example, Pluto's nose was cut. The bottom edge of Goofy's name was cut, so I'm guessing clicking and dragging to take up the entire page won't work. I've seen someone else's book done like this on a diff. thread and it did.
Wendy, I noticed your book had a border around it. I know it's not a true border, but just blank edging on the page. Did you choose a particular layout format that changed it to look like that? If so, do you recall the layout? I played around w/ diff. layouts, but noticed the picture was really tiny. By pulling on the arrows off to the sides of the picture I could extend it to make it larger. It gave me size dimensions or number values so I could repeat on other pages so they would be uniform, but the more I played w/ it the worse it looked. In addition to the layout you chose, what size did you make the pictures? I'm sorry to trouble you with these specifics. Since you already have your book, you may not have access to finding the info out, and I know it would be timely to look it up. I so badly wanted to get a lot done on the book tonight only to encounter a road block. Thanks for your help!

give me a min...I will see if I can help...

[danagirl]

Can I ask what happens when you push the zoom out key? Its in the rt corner... That is how I usually get the pages smaller but now when i push it it says empty...which might be a glitch or something I don't know.

[disneybliss2]

Thanks, Dana. I appreciate the help. Don't spend too much time playing with it, though; I feel bad already asking so many questions tonight and now I'm bothering you all w/ this layout issue. I know it's something simple I'm doing wrong. I chose the 5 X 7 book, and thought I could just drop the pictures on the page. Wrongo! Some, like Mickey, looked fine. Others, like Pluto and Minnie, you could really tell an ear or part of a nose was chopped off. I feel like I'm just waisting time trying to find that just right layout type or whatever else the trick is to make this book work because everything ends up not looking quite right. How can something so simple be so difficult? I am irritated w/ myself for not knowing how to make it right w/out spending an enormous amt. of time on it, so I turned you guys the experts. Thanks!

[danagirl]

also sometimes it has issues when your album is large...try breaking it up into smaller albums and see if that works...I hope this helps

[danagirl]

no worries...I am babysitting a sleeping baby so I have time...it should work fine on the 5x7...and like i said you should just be able to zoom out..thats how I did mine and it worked fine...it might not be you at all I noticed they did a program update and it may be a glitch in the system..maybe sleep on it and try again tomorrow...:hug:

[disneybliss2]

Wendy, after much trial and effort last night and help from Dana I continued to hit a brick wall. I went back to the beg. of this thread and saw how you explained the spacing/ "border" to Dolly.

Hey Dolly - Thanks!!

No - I didn't add the white space - when I ordered it - you basically go through a process of positioning the picture onto the page of the book - so, I kept it that size as I didn't want it to fill up the entire page - which basically left the white border........ it isn't a border though, it's just the page - if that makes sense. You actually see how it will look, so you can edit the size of the photo onto the page.

How do you keep the photo at the 4 X 6 size? If I drag and drop, it fills the 5 X 7 page and cuts off part of the picture, so I can't do that obviously. What layout did you choose, or is there some way of dropping, then changing the size? Or none of the above that I mentioned. If you don't mind to guide me on how you did this step to place on the page, centered each time, and kept it at the 4 X 6 size I would greatly appreciate it. I need help! :)

I'm curious about this too. I don't have time to order from artscow but would like to do passports and I don't want to waste my time ordering and checking it off my list if it is going to be flagged and cancelled.

[bethbuchall]

I'm curious about this too. I don't have time to order from artscow but would like to do passports and I don't want to waste my time ordering and checking it off my list if it is going to be flagged and cancelled.

I just received a book that I ordered a photo book from Snapfish to use as an autograph book. Most of the book had photos of my kids from years past with the characters, but I did throw in a couple of autograph pages at the back that were made from Disney clip art similar to this:
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a190/bethbuchall/Autograph%20pages/Tiggerautograph.jpg

There was no problem with the order.

[danagirl]

okay...I am not sure exactly whats not working but here is what I think might help...once you drag and drop you pic if you click on it it should have a blue square around it...this box should come up in the corner and you should just be able to use the zoom out button....
http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/xx117/danimariesphotos/artsc.jpg

[wendypooh]

Hi All................ As danagirl posted above me............ this is exactly what I did.......... I DID NOT resize the pics from the original size - I copied them at the LARGEST SIZE from Natalies photobucket - then I saved them all into ONE file - (easy access) then I uploaded them into artscow. When I put them on each page, as the above pic shows, you can THEN resize them using the zoom in - zoom out button - ALL I DID was was to make the pic smaller by "zooming out" - once I saw a "white area" around the entire pic on the page - I left it alone. It came out perfectly. IF YOU NOTICE the two pictures (autograph pages) in the above screenshot - those are TOO BIG - they need to be one size smaller - on the right and left sides there is NO WHITE - you want to be able to see the white area around the entire picture.

Other than that - I'm afraid I cannot help.......... that is all I did. :goodvibes

[M_I_C_K_E_Y]

okay...I am not sure exactly whats not working but here is what I think might help...once you drag and drop you pic if you click on it it should have a blue square around it...this box should come up in the corner and you should just be able to use the zoom out button....

If I remember correctly - I hit the zoom out button 9 times to have it nicely centered.

Great screen shot Dana - I am sure it will be very helpful!

[wendypooh]

Thank You Danagirl for posting that picture.................. it should be VERY helpful!!!! :goodvibes


Someone else asked about using another place - (snapfish) - I "thought" they would print them.............. I actually tried using them, but had such a hard time with getting the pics to look right on the page, I just went to artscow and it was actually very easy for me.............. I know others are having a hard time, but, I had a hard time with snapfish............ but as for if they will print them or not............. I assume so......... I've heard others say they will - I just didn't use them because it was very hard for me to figure out how to get the layout correct.

[wendypooh]

disneybliss........... RE: your post on my thread............

for the picture you use on the front for the cover - that you will see through the opening:

http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx320/wendylsu/th_IMG_5047.jpg (http://s767.photobucket.com/albums/xx320/wendylsu/?action=view&current=IMG_5047.jpg)


You will have to RESIZE that picture to fit in within the opening - using the zoom out button - you will need to keep zooming out until you get it to fit in that window............ you can keep checking it by viewing how it'll look - you are going to have to go pretty small though. As for the other pages, again, once you place them on the page, then you'll resize them by using the ZOOM OUT button - as explained above, you will need to keep zooming out until you see a white area completely around the picture. The one's that danagirl posted show this very well............. they are still TOO BIG - as on both the right and left side there is NO white area - they need to be zoomed out again or at least until you can see white ALL THE WAY AROUND the picture.

Again, try using the picture you orginally wanted for your cover page by doing this - it should work - but, if not and you still want me to make something for you - let me know. However, PLEASE note, that no matter what - using Natalies or mine, the pic will have to LARGE to begin with - otherwise it will be horrible when resized. If we make a small picture to fit - it won't work. Try using the one you wanted and follow these steps and you should find that it works out just fine.

I hope this helps. Wendy

[danagirl]

Thanks ladies...I am a visual learner and the arrows help because I sometimes have trouble seeing things right in front of me:laughing:

[disneybliss2]

Just got home from church and rushed to the computer to see if there was anything new since I posted this morning. Thanks everyone for the help. I did hit the zoom out button last night to play w/ the sizing, but it appeared to look odd w/ so much white around it. Wendy, it looked as if yours was perfectly centered, spaced, perfect amount of white "border" that I felt it had to be a 4 X 6 layout drag and drop instead of the zoom. Knowing this is how you did it, I'll go back to doing that as well.

Wendy, thanks for your patience and all your detailed instructions.

Dana, thanks for your help as well and the graphic. I too am a visual gal, so having the graphic helped. Plus, I would have thought the graphic you had on the right would have worked. Since you can see the border all around (although the border on the top & bottom is bigger than the sides), I would have messed that up thinking that it had been sufficiently zoomed out. It was good to have your graphic and hear from Wendy that I need to zoom out even further.

You all are AWESOME!!!!!!!! Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I pull this off okay. :)

[wildernesswookies]

Hey Wendy- I may have missed the response but, I wient through all the pages again.... Will you post the pic of the SWW that is on the front of the autograph book?

Thanks!!

[disneybliss2]

If I remember correctly - I hit the zoom out button 9 times to have it nicely centered.

Great screen shot Dana - I am sure it will be very helpful!

Thanks, Amy. Good info to know. I would have been nervous zooming it out that much, so it's helpful to know what you did. Gives me an idea of what to aim for. I'm putting my little one down for a nap, and then thanks to everyone's help, I'm off to create! :)

[disneybliss2]

Ok, last question (I promise!!!!). I've zoomed out 7 times. 9 times like Amy said she did does center it much better, but I want less white. Will 7 times be too tight for the binding to be sewn? Also, the pictures look fuzzy as you zoom them out--not near as clear as when you left them full size. They don't turn out fuzzy when they're printed in the book do they?
I promise I'll keep all other questions to myself after these two. :)

[wendypooh]

Hey Wendy- I may have missed the response but, I wient through all the pages again.... Will you post the pic of the SWW that is on the front of the autograph book?

I promise I'll keep all other questions to myself after these two. :)

You can zoom as much as you want, for me though, I didn't want the entire page to be full with the design (pic) that is why I zoomed enough to have white all the way around it - and I know it may look "fuzzy" - I was worried about that too......... but they do NOT look like that in person. They look awesome - not blurry or fuzzy or anything - I know you say you don't want a lot of white - but, I think having a little bit is better than having the entire page the picture. Either way, it shouldn't affect the binding at all.

Hope this helps............ keep us posted on the progress - you can even post the book here when finished.

I will go get the link to DS's entire book and post it - so you can see how it looks. :goodvibes

Here is the link to DS's book.............. you can see on the pages how much "white" area is around the picture. http://www.artscow.com/share/6f6epm1v16sm

actually, looking at it now........... there doesn't look like there is a LOT of space to the right and left sides of the pictures - just enough to show a little white - I think if you do this you'll be fine. Again, mine looks amazing and NOT fuzzy or anything at all. Just remember to keep resizing the front cover pic to fit inside the window.......... I had to go really small in order to see all of it and his name.

[wendypooh]

Here is the link to his passport book - I did the exact same thing here, zooming out until I had the white area around the picture.

http://www.artscow.com/share/er9azl4rrwc5

I used the exact same 5x7 book in the white (which in person looks very silvery or pearlessence) it gorgeous!!! :)


I'm just waiting for it to get here. OHHHHH, also note on the first page, up at the top on the website there is a FREE shipping code for new members if you make the 8x8 book!!!! Oh, and I used paypal both times!! :)

[disneybliss2]

Both of your books look AMAZING! Like you said, it does look better w/ some white otherwise the picture gets cut off (noses, ears, etc.). Too much white looks a little funny to me, though. I think you had the perfect balance. What I was worried w/ zooming out 7 times is that it wouldn't leave enough space in the margin where it was sewn for the binding and some of the picture might get lost in the binding. Looking at your book fully makes me think I'll be okay. I greatly appreciate your willingness to help me,taking the time to post your books (which are awesome), and answer the gazillion questions I've had. Your kindness means a lot! Yea! I didn't have a question on this post. :)

[ChaMakay1923]

I would absolutely have added them - the book is NOT big or bulky or anything - it's the perfect size - I don't think adding 75 pages will be a problem for you - as you are putting images on the front and back of pages - it won't really be as thick as you think. I'd do it.............. :goodvibes

You won't be able to have that many pages. It only allowed me to have 63 pages total. I could not add more. Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

[disneybliss2]

You won't be able to have that many pages. It only allowed me to have 63 pages total. I could not add more. Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

I discovered that (very frustratingly I might add) last night. It would only only let me make 62 pages. Now I'm going to make two books--one for characters in the park and one for character meals.

[disneybliss2]

Ok, I'm breaking my promise (SORRY!!!!), but here goes w/ another question (I know I said I wouldn't ask any more)--are there only three options for the book cover? When I click on change cover it gives me yellow, off white, and white. I'm surprised there aren't more solid color options, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
Lastly, is it important that the last page be left white? For example, if you have a 60 page book, it suggests you pay .30 extra to add the 61st page to make the perfect book and that the 61st page will be blank. Then you can drop the artscow logo for $2 and put something on page 62. Is there a reason 61 needs to be blank? It's allowing me to drag and drop a picture on that page, and it shows up on my print preview--just want to make sure it will be there or if there's some reason to delete and have a blank page.

[DaniB]

Did you know you can download the whole album through photobucket? Then you could just save them to a folder and delete or move the ones you didn't want. They would all be the actual size and then you could just upload the whole folder to artscow. If you are unsure if they are saved to the right size this might be a good option. Also you can just change the one page..once you "build" an album you can go back and change what ever you like. Hope this helps!!!

Dana, I cannot seem to find the "download this album" link shown in the screenshot you provided.

I made sure all the arrows are pointed downwards, but there's no such option for me. I tried it on a couple of your autograph albums as well, but no such luck. Do you have any idea if I'm doing something wrong? :confused3 I don't know how to take a screenshot or I would post it.

[disneybliss2]

Everyone will be happy to know that I completed my girls' autograph books and ordered them through Artscow last night. No more questions--for real--at least until the next project. :) Thanks Wendy and Dana for the extra help!!!

YAY - I'm so glad you got it!!!!! I just hope you are as pleased with it as I am with mine. I got confirmation that DS's passport book shipped, so - I'm praying it gets here in time - it should - but, I'll be nervous till I have it in my hands!!!!

Anyway - glad you got them done!!! :goodvibes

[ChaMakay1923]

I ordered mine on the 9th of April... according to the status is reads... PaymentOK... wish it would state that it's been shipped... kind of hate waiting so long for an item. I understand it's coming from overseas... but I never have to wait a month when ordering something on EBAY from overseas.

I ordered mine on the 9th of April... according to the status is reads... PaymentOK... wish it would state that it's been shipped... kind of hate waiting so long for an item. I understand it's coming from overseas... but I never have to wait a month when ordering something on EBAY from overseas.

I ordered DS's passport on April 9th also............ on the 26th, (Mon) I got a confirmation email that it had shipped - I'm looking at 12 - 15 days for it to get here - based on the email it stated 8 to 12 days........... but, I know how long it took for the autograph book - so long as it gets here before we leave - I'll be happy!!!! BUT, if not, I won't be upset - I knew I was pushing it when I ordered it.............

Again, they are in hong kong - and its not even been 3 weeks yet since you ordered........... I'd give it some more time. ** As for ordering something from Ebay - you have to consider that the book is NOT made at all - I'd assume something on ebay is completey ready to go when you buy it - it doesn't have to be made - maybe that is why you get it sooner??



I will say again to anyone considering ordering from them, give yourself NO LESS THAN a month.

OP - Hopefully you'll get a shipped notice soon!!!
