A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[JenniferK]

Can someone tell me about the texture of the photo flip book pages (like from Shutterfly)? Are they like photopaper? I am worried about smearing or pen just not writing well on them....

[MusicMouse]

I have ordered books from Shutterfly, and their pages are somewhat glossy, but not nearly as much as photo paper. A sharpie should work just fine without smearing.

They are still really cute, even without the borders. If you are really heartbroken about the way they turned out, though, get them reprinted (try a couple for test purposes first). Did you use any by Natalie? People seem to have less trouble with the formatting when getting those printed.

Hmmm. I don't have one, but let me look around and see what I can find.

OK, ana carol, I put a thread up on the Disneyland chat board, and these characters have all been spotted recently at Disneyland:

Aladdin
Alice
Aurora
Belle
Bert
Brer Bear
Brer Fox
Brother Bear characters (they don't sign)
Buzz Lightyear
Captain Hook
Chip
Cinderella
Cruella De Vil
Dale
Donald
Dopey
Eeyore
Evil Queen (from Snow White)
Fairy Godmother
Frozone
Goofy
Jasmine
Jessie
Mad Hatter
Mary Poppins
Max
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
Mr. Incredible
Mrs. Incredible
Mulan
Peter Pan
Pinocchio
Pluto
Queen of Hearts
Snow White
Stitch
Sully (he doesn't sign)
Terence
Tigger
Tinkerbell
Tweedle Dee
Tweedle Dum
White Rabbit
Winnie the Pooh
Woody

It's probably not complete, but it should give you a place to start (just add some generic pages at the end in case you run into someone unexpected).

Thank you so much
Now i have a place to start

Funny that Brother Bears dont sign, when we were in WDW in 2008, we met Kenai and he signed our autograph book

You know, I thought he signed autographs, too. Maybe the woman who posted that caught him on an "off" day?

I am pretty much doing the exact same thing! Thank you for sharing!

At Disneyland you see the Brother Bears at a show. They would pose for pictures after the show but would not sign. Hope you have better luck and catch them away from the show.

They dont look "bad" but I don't like them because I know what they are supposed to look like! My husband thinks I am being obsessive!!! But I don't wanna use them!!LOL

I had the exact same problem with Shutterfly with a magnet I ordered from them!!! I had designed it to fit the 2x3 area, and had even aligned it myself where it tells you to. And then it came off-center! I was very irritated. I had spent $5 on that magnet, and it wasn't even centered.

Can someone please help me? I'm following all the directions and it is not working. If I just copy and paste into Word, I get these little tiny pictures. When I try to make them 4x6, they get really fuzzy. I tried saving it as a picture and printing the picture. It looks fine as a 4x6 on the computer, but it prints fuzzy.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I've tried different DISigners but that didn't work. Any help would be great.

Nevermind. I just figured it out. I realized that I missed a step

Your book looks great!!

[erin327]

I wanted to make 5x7 books this year, but I can't find any card stock precut to 5x7. I am afraid that if I use the 8.5x11 and cut them out they will look terrible. how do you keep them square and all the edges straight so that when you stack them in the book the book edges are pretty straight??
