Okay, I have to give props to all the designers here. They opened up there supply of autograph cards and I have collected from a lot of different designers to give the twins different cards from each others to get signed. Thank you again! The books came out fabulous. Pictures do not do it justice but I will try to show you-

Front cover laminated with click sharpie pens. Ribbons to not lose pens. They do fit in spiral.

A few pictures were not from the designers. This Pooh autograph page is my daughters Pooh room. I did one picture per side because of sharpie ink might show through also we can put pictures of kids with the character there.

We are going at the MNSSHP thus the back cover- (it is more colorful than appears)

Info on them-
I was able to put two autograph cards per each sheet that is why they are long. I did leave inch and half space on the left side but did not need to do that as much.
If you are making one for a little girl get a slightly bigger spiral to do ribbons. Mine worked out even though it was snug because I had so many pages. FYI: Kinkos machine will bind really close to the edge. You can cut and laminate by yourself. They will cut holes and bind.
Mine are card stock all the way through. I even made a label inside of hotel in case it gets lost. Last page for my daughters is Princesses page saying "Made by Mommy". My son is a Toy story with same saying.

Could not have done this without the help and advice of people here. Thanks! ​

How about Natalie's 4 Parks with all the characters design?



I am wondering if I could have 2 done up, one that says Keyra and one that says Brayden?

Thank you very very much!!!

I can't see the snapfish one, but the shutterfly one looks great!

No idea why the snapfish one won't show. It does for me but maybe because it's mine, lol.
For the Shutterfly one, I just used the share option, emailed it to myself, then clicked the link & C&P it.
I just can't decide which one to order, ugh, lol.

 

[Heath_Bar]

Thanks for showing me show to share!

And a HUGE thank you to MusicMouse for everything in this thread. All the info you collected on the first page allowed me to find so many great pages!

**************************************************

OK, so I finally have our 8x8 books done! (done unless some awesome new pages are posted before I actually order ) 2 books, both different for our 2 boys. I used pages from just about everyone, and some I made changes too myself or tweeked. Now I just need to get a 50% off code and then I will order!

heath bar- the books look fabulous! I want to know where you found all the backgrounds and the cover pages. Please Please Please.

I too have been on them all and picked and chose from different peoples pictures(Let the kids pick and choose do you like this cinderella or this one.)
Don't remember seeing the cover pages and backgrounds.......Or Did I completely miss the boat?!?!?!
Thanks!

 

[sherriepaul]

musicmouse- They all look fabulous and I have boy/girl twins that sometimes like the same things and sometimes don't so you gave me all kinds of options!

I was looking in your photobucket at http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums...aracter Meal Covers/SierrasCharacterMeals.jpg

could we have one except say Emma with the year 2011?

Also could we have one exactly like it in Blue with Gabe and the year 2011?

Also if possible could you do http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af313/MusicMouse7/Autograph Books/136.jpg and change the name to Gabe
Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you!! I am really happy with how they came out, I can't wait to order.

The front and back covers are ones I sort of made. I found the basic designs in various photobucket accounts, then put it into photoshop, resized, added background color and added my wording. The covers were odd though because true 8x8 didn't fit as well so I had to make 8x10 and then trim in shutterfly. Can you manipulate at all? If so, send me a PM with your email and I can send you my original files, just let me know exactly which ones you are looking for.

DisneyGuess, I really love the first book, but I can't get the second one to load. Heath Bar, your books are beautiful! Thank you all for posting your creations. I absolutely love to see all of the new and different ways that folks put things together!!
