A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[MusicMouse]

Would anyone be willing to make a cover for my niece? I went through some photobucket albums and didn't find one with her name. Her name is Paige
Thanks so much!

Here is your cover :

Ok MusicMouse! I'm impatient & so ready to order my autograph book from snapfish.
Any rumors or birdies in your ear saying that the current M&G characters are changing up? It is almost the end of October afterall!! LOL.
(Can you tell I'm excited to get my son's surprise book?!?!?!)

Sorry DisneyGuess, but other than Pirate Goofy replacing Anjelica and Flynn Rider no longer appearing with Rapunzel, the grapevine has been very silent. If you are that anxious , go ahead and order your book. If anyone else shows up they can always sign a generic page (you remembered to include those, right?).

That is very true, lol. I already took Anjelica, Flynn & Eric out of my book. & yup, plenty of generic pages!!

I printed out a bunch of these autograph cards in early 2010 thinking we were going to get to go to wdw, but we had to cancel at the last minute. i did save them though, does anyone have an up to date list of characters? I know there had to have been some changes since i printed these. we are HOPEFULLY going to surprise the girls with a trip in march of 2012!

I am attempting to make my children autograph books using Shutterfly. I really liked the images posted by DoNatalie Volume 2. The problem I am running into is that when I put these images into my Shutterfly album the edges are getting cut off. I am trying to make either a 5X7 or a 7X9 book on Shutterfly.

Thanks so much for you help! I feel lost!

I'm not sure why, but not all of Natalie's images are exactly 4x6. If you put them in a program for resizing you will see that they are more like 4.3x6.3. In order to keep from losing the edges, you will need to resize them to 4x6 on your computer and then re-upload them to Shutterfly. You can do this in any photo-editing software (like photoshop). If you have MS office, the software for Paint should be on your computer, and that works as well. (I printed them myself, and had to resize them in MS Word.) If you try this and are needing help with the resizing, post back on here and I can walk you through it.

Well, it's that time of the year again. I have made the following changes to the character list in post #2:

Removing - Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar, and Magician Mickey (he's no longer appearing in his magician outfit at the Town Square Theater, just in his regular attire)
Adding - Special Agent Oso (appearing in the Animation Courtyard)

If I hear anything else, I'll let you know!

Trudie,

I just had to pop on and say that your avatar is so cute! Very creative!

Thank you Amy! I found this image when I first started here on the DISboards, but I didn't label it (newbie mistake) and now I don't remember who made it! Whoever DISigned it did a fabulous job!

Hi there, your creativity is amazing and I would like to request a few of your disigns for our upcoming trip next week. In your autograph covers the one with Rapunzel & Flynn to say Addison's 2011 Autographs, and another to say Annabelle's 2011 Autographs. For the back cover I would love to have the blue background that says The End-made by mom. We are also doing MVMCP and would love 2 please with the names mentioned above. I'm sorry for the short notice, but I just discovered the making own autographs thread and am now hooked.

Some autograph book advice - - - This was our 3rd personalized autograph book to make and this one was by far our favorite. Each time we have used images from this board. The first two - I just ran the pages through my printer on cardstock, cut them and then took the cards down to Office Max and had them bound.

This one took more time but it was worth it. Using the advice of a PP - we did it as a photobook. We choose Picaboo because we felt the backgrounds were the best - many more to choose from than other sites - although any site will work. Just saved the images as a picture and then dropped them into the autograph book. DD then came back and choose the background or theme that complimented each picture.

I almost passed out when I saw the final cost. DD had worked for hours and I just didn't think a book that small would be over $50 not including shipping! BUT - I saw where they had a place to input an Eversave or Groupon code. I did a searched and found an Eversave code - pay $25 and get $75 worth of Picaboo. I was able to get the autograph book AND use the 2 day shipping for a total of $25. Picaboo will also offer B1G1 on their photo books every now and then but the two books have to be identical.

I just want to say a huge thanks to the DISigners on this board. We just returned from our trip to WDW with DD's personalized autograph book. She was thrilled with the extra attention from the characters (especially the princesses) when they saw their own page!

MusicMouse, your designs are so great! Could you please make me an autograph cover for the book I'm putting together for my daughter for our December trip?

I would like the four parks version, with the wording Emersyn's First Disney Trip 2011. Could you do purple lettering?

Thanks so much!
Jodi

I am so excited to find this thread and all these amazing autograph book ideas!

May I make a request?

I love, love, love the cover in the first post (Paige)on this page. May I get that, with Happy 3rd Birthday, Cody?

Is that too long?

I'm so excited to make this for my son. We're going in January for his 1st trip and 3rd birthday.

Thank you, thank you!

It's addictive, isn't it? It sounds like you've got a lot of work to do. Here are your covers:

Thanks for the heads up! I always wait for a sale or a discount before ordering photobooks of any kind. It seems like the photobook companies are always running some sort of special if you are patient enough. I'm glad that it worked out for you and that you had such a great reaction from the characters!

WOW amazing work everyone has here! I read through for hours....and yes my house still needs to be cleaned but what can I say. I had to finally skip around and was wondering if anyone had Phinneas and Ferb in the 4 x 6 size?
Thanks, Sarah
