Starting on my autograph books and passports but......

[KristyBDJ]

Ok, so I love the idea of printing the autograph books and passports as photo books like I've seen some others have done. My question is...what's the easiest way to do this? :confused3 Since the images I want to use are in DISigner's photobucket accounts and photobucket doesn't print photobooks, how do I do this? It seems like it will take forever. Please help!:worship: TIA:thumbsup2
Oh, and I was hoping to have these done for Easter gifts...is that going to be possible? I saw that walmart has 1 hour print photobooks but how do I get the images on there quickly and easily?

Here is the link to the thread that gives you a step by step guide on how to make your own autograph book: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2323160 . If you have any questions about the process, just ask at the end of the thread and I will be glad to help out! :goodvibes

Haven't looked at that thread that is referred, but the first thing you have to do is download the pictures to your computer before you start the photobook from any company, and yes, that can be a timely project, but if you have time to sit down and focus a couple times you could get them done by Easter.

I uploaded the autograph cards to Walmart and had them printed as 4x6 photos. I then put them in alphabetical order by character name in a hard cover photo album. Since I have more than 100 cards, I also use a cheap ($1) soft cover photo album that I clip inside the back cover.
Once home I take the autograph cards and the picture of the kids with the character and put them both in a 2 per page photo album (autograph on top, character pic on bottom) This way there is no blank pages if we do not happen to see particular character.

I use 4 binder clips (2 for front and 2 for back cover) while waiting in line I remove the autograph card(s) and clip it to the outside of the book for the characters to sign.

Here is photo of the album we use. Never got around to decorating the outside. This will be the 2nd trip for the book.

For the passports, I downloaded Donatalie's. Printed them on cardstock and took them to staples to be bounded with a clear plastic cover for the front and black for the back. I will have to take a pic and post later.

Here are the pics of the passports. I left spacing on the top to be binded. Next time (already changed the word document) I will be leaving less space.
