Welcome!
We are now accepting requests for 3x4 and 4x6 journaling and filler cards for people wishing to create a Disney "Project Life" style book. Please read our rules before posting!
All request for NEW cards should be posted in this thread.
If you wish to see what cards have already been created or if you have created a card you would like to add please post it here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3072096 No requests or chatter in the completed cards thread please!
What do you do with the cards? With this system you would purchase plastic pocket page protectors which look like baseball card sheets that you then slip into a 3 ring binder that is either 12x12 or 8.5x11. You can find the page protectors at many stores such as Michaels, A.C. Moore, and Hobby Lobby. They are also available on line at Amazon. Many hobby and craft stores have 40% or 50% off coupons you can use to purchase these if you keep your eyes open.
You simply slide your photos into the 4X6 slots and add some journaling cards in the remaining 4X6 or 3X4 slots and quickly your Disney album will be complete. There are also protectors in other sizes which will allow you to include 12x12 or 8.5x11 scrapbook pages, park maps, menus, key to the world cards, ephemera, pretty much anything fairly flat you want to keep in your book.
Some people chose to do the cards digitally and others print them out and bring them to the parks with them. You can journal your memories each night so you remember all the fun little details of the trip. This is also a great activity for kids to do on the trip to get them to practice their writing and it will be a wonderful memory of your vacation in your child's handwriting! Another idea is to collect character autographs on 4x6 cards that can easily be added to your album (thanks for the idea lilsprstr). If you google "Project Life Disney" you will see some you tube videos of things others have done to give you an idea.
*Project Life, for those who don't know, is a simplified scrapbooking system. It was started by Becky Higgins, if you want you can google it.*
Thread Rules
This thread started out small but is blossoming nicely... so as it gets busier and our DISigners' lists get longer we have decided to follow in the footsteps of many of the other DISigners on this board and implement a series of rules for making requests. They are not complicated but they will make DISigning a smoother process for all involved, and most importantly, they will cut down on thread management issues for your DISigners, thus enabling us to spend more time making cards for you
THE RULES:
1. Before requesting… please check if the card you want already exists… there is a thread with all completed cards on it... the completed cards thread is at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3072096
2. Please be clear with what you want… eg. if you ask for a particular restaurant… do you want a card for the restaurant, or for the character breakfast or for a sophisticated evening meal there?
3. At this time, we have to impose a maximum limit of ** 4 cards ** per request, that's 4 individual cards, we must insist on the request being limited to 4 in order to keep requests and waiting lists manageable.
4. Once your initial request has been filled, you may then request another set of 4 cards, and so on.
5. We will create one card for each card request, YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Some DISigners may provide both lined & unlined versions of the card and some may not as some designs do not lend themselves to variations. Some requests may even result in a huge shower of varied cards depending on the DISigner's inspiration. These extras are a treat, they are not standard. One card request = one card.
5. Please don't re-request your request within a short period of time. As requests come in a DISigner will "claim" them and give you an estimate of when they might be ready, We have several DISigners in several timezones, claims will not be instantaneous and may take a few days. If your request has not been claimed within 4 days then please do post again to mention it, as it may have slipped past on a busy day, but be sure to reference your original post.
6. Requests are not necessarily done in order so please mention if you have an urgent request & we will try to accommodate. Please do not get frustrated if you see later requests filled before yours. Some things take longer than others and the reasons for this may not be immediately obvious!
7. Finally, please remember we are doing this for fun! We all have busy lives and take time out of them to DISign these cards to add a bit of pixie dust to your vacation albums (and ours!). It is a fun hobby & very rewarding but it is a lot of work so please remember to keep an eye out for your cards and come back and say thanks to your DISigner after she posts them here for you, it means a lot to us! Also… if you use our cards we'd love to see the pages you make, we'll feel famous… feel free to post them on this thread!!
Thanks
ALSO.... if we have any budding DISigners on the thread who would like to join in... please jump right in! You can claim requests if you see any you'd like to work on, or if you'd like to share any cards that you have made - we'd love to see them. You can add your completed cards to the completed cards thread too.
Ok folks... lets get DISigning

I decided to just try to make a super simple card just to see if I could. I think this looks ok and would work fine if it was printed out on card stock and cut out to be used for journaling on. Let me know what you think. I have to see if the lines are spaced out well but my stupid printer refuses to work so I just eyeballed it for now. If anyone likes this and wants a specific character with just lines like this, let me know and I'd be more than happy to try it as long as you you know, like I said, I have no idea what I'm doing! I do plan to make some with journaling prompts, borders, logos, and maybe faded background pictures.
