They look awesome! I was just wondering what type of paper did you print them on? I used cardstock last year and I think it is too heavy so I was wondering if my regular 24 lb paper would be thick enough. Thanks.

I used white cardstock which I cut down to size. I wanted it to be "sturdy".

Ha Ha... now you will be subjected to all my How to questions

What size did you make the paper? I like how you have a large white border rather than the picture taking up the WHOLE page!

Awesome work! I'm leaving on the 21st and wondering if I have time for this obession!

I'm more than happy to help! I was in your "shoes" at the beginning!!!

I used regular 8.5x11 cardstock which I cut down w/ a papercutter AFTER I printed them all out. The white cards are 5 x 7 and the actual printout is 4 x 6. I left a 1 inch gap at the top in order to have the binding put on at KINKO's.

Macduffy · 08-24-2009, 01:19 PM

You did a great job! I'm assuming that is scrapbook paper at the beginning? I think I'll start next week

)

Hope your as excited as I am - a little over 3 weeks!!!!

Yes, I glued scrapbook paper onto 5 x 7 chipboard for the front & back covers.

okay... I'm in Word and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to format the Word doc to make a 8.5X11 into a 5X7

Suggestions???

Told you I had ALOT of questions LOL!

You are leaving your paper size at 8.5x11. You are going to have to cut down your paper AFTER you print out the cards.

In WORD, you need to go to PAGE SET-UP and change your margins to:
Top: .75
Bottom: 1"
Right: .5
Left: .5

Make sure it is set to "PORTRAIT" not Landscape. After you print it out, I used a paper cutter to cut it down to a 5 x 7 size. But FIRST you need to print out the cards. The actual print of the autograph card is 4 x 6
