A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[MusicMouse]

My husband just found out he has a trip to LA and my 7 year old and I are tagging along. Last WDW trip took a year for me to plan. This time around, I only have 3 weeks!!! Crazy!!

When you get a chance, could you make these covers for me?

2012
Gianna's Disneyland Autograph Book

2012
Gianna's Disneyland Memories

I like the cover where Aladdin and others are flying through the air. So cute!!! (Is Sleeping Beauty Disneyland's Castle available??? Otherwise, just whatever works. I am desperate!!!!!)

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I do not know what I would do without the wonderful folks on this board!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

You caught me at the last minute - I'm headed off for Christmas with the family. Here are your covers :

I'm going to be away from the boards for a week to celebrate Christmas with my family. If you want to leave a request here, I will fill it after the New Year. Merry Christmas to all of my fellow DISers, and have a magical New Year!!

I'm working on finishing up autograph books for our January trip. I like your simple Mickey cover on the redish background. Would it be possible for you to swap out Mickey for Minnie and personalize with "Meredith's Autographs" and 2012? Thanks so much!

I sent the Passport files, so check your e-mail. Folks here have had luck printing with snapfish, shutterfly, and walgreens as books (Artscow takes longer than you have for shipping, but it's good, too). If you want to print them out as photos and bind them, Walgreens is really great about it. Walmart can be touchy sometimes - it depends on the store. If you are using Snapfish or Shutterfly be sure to check their current promotions, as they often have discounts on books and/or shipping. Good luck!

Hi there!

Can you also send me Passport files?

We (very) recently found out that we are heading to LA with my husband. It will be my 7 year old daughter's first trip to Disneyland. I want to make it special - but we have 3 weeks to plan and that is it. I am ready to go nuts!

I would like to print out my autograph pages into a book - but I am also wondering about the copyright problem. I actually bought a Photopass last time we were at Disney World, but we recently moved and I have yet to locate our disc. It had a release to print on it.

I've read that different companies will not print without a release, but from other people I've heard they have had no problems. I cannot go through Artscow ; we don't have enough time. If I do expedited shipping, the shipping alone will be $49.95!!

Printing will take forever and a ton of ink and time!

What do you recommend? I would LOVE to have a regular book, printed out and ready to go. But I am soo worried that if I go through a place like Shutterfly / Snapfish etc., they will reject my order. Is there any tips / tricks to getting it through?

I am very worried about this. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you so much!!

was just looking over the list and who is Annie?

Annie is one of the Little Einsteins (with Leo, Quincy, and June).

1) The passport files are for the World Showcase in WDW, so you won't be able to use them in Disneyland.

2) As long as you are using your autograph book for personal use only (you are not going to sell it), you should be fine. Most of us use clipart in our cards, and Disney doesn't seem to mind as long as we are all using them for our own personal use. That being said, the books do get rejected on rare occasions. This is almost always because the person who ordered it called the company to see why it was taking so long to get their books. These things do take time, usually 7-10 days if you are ordering from a company that is printing here in the US.

3) If you don't have that kind of time, the best thing to do is to print them out as photographs and either place them in a photo album that you have "Disneyfied" or have them bound.

I hope this helps!

I'm back for another round. We are doing b2b cruises this year instead of wdw. I saw the cruise pages, but is there a list of characters somewhere that you know of that are most popular on the cruises? If not, I'll go ask on the cruise board, but thought there might already be one here as I used this thread for my wdw books last summer?

Hello! I was wondering if you could do a 4 Parks cover with "Caroline's Autographs". Thanks in advance!

Any way I could get an Autograph book cover saying Maddox's Autograph Book. Any cover will do. I got the whole book ready, but would love to personalize the cover! We're leaving in 10 days and my 4 year old doesn't know yet!! I'm going to give him a box of stuff the night before to let him know!! I hope he's as excited as I am!!!

Ok so I am gonna try my hand at making an autograph book for my kids (14 & 9) for our trip tp Disney World in a couple months. I am not wanting to do alot of "character" pages. Just because I am not sure how many we will see. I also want to be able to let the kids put pics in the book as well. So I am not 100% sure if I am going to do a 5x7 or 8x10.

I am not able to post a pic cause I am new to the forum and can't post any links yet to get you an example of what I am thinking, So I hope someone understands what I'm talking about.

Ok I want a page that has maybe a "scrapbook" paper or decorative background with something in the middle to have an autograph or 4x6 picture in it.

Is anyone sure of what I am even talking about..hahaha..and can anyone help? I would be able to change colors of pages to make plenty of options. But I think I would like a minimum of 10 different pages.

hope i can figure this out..I feel like I am asking for alot here..sorry if I am

Welcome back, Kimberly! I really don't know much about who is currently appearing on the cruise ships, so you would be much better off asking the folks on the cruise forum. If you need a new character card or a cover just ask, I will be glad to make one!

How exciting - 4 is such a great age for WDW! Here is your cover :

Ok, I think I know what you are asking for, and yes, I can do it, but it will take me at least a month to do 10 different designs. When is your trip? What I really need to know is 8x8 or 5x7, because it will make a huge difference. 8x8 will give you more space and is more of a standard scrapbook size (actually that would be 12x12, but the ratio is the same). Let me know which you would like to do, and I will do a trial page and see if we are thingking about the same thing.

Thanks I must have seen it over there. I'll start putting my list together and then go from there. I think I want to do my book a little different this year, but need to probably play around on Arts Cow and get a feel for what I want....I think I want to make coordinating pages where the character autograph is on one page and there's a designated spot for a 4x6 picture on the other. I also want to include pictures of my daughter with the characters in the past as she got sooo much attention last year from doing that in the parks.

I always underestimate how long this is going to take so I guess my New Year's resolution was to get started NOW!

Thank you so much!!! It's awesome!!

Awesome! Thanks so much!!

Ok....My dd and I sat down tonight to start planning her new autograph book and looked at all the Chef Mickey pages, and she loves your 8x8 pages which is perfect as I wanted to make an 8x8 book on Arts Cow (and she didn't know that), but she has one request, and I have another.

Her request: Could you do one per page like Mickey's instead of 2 per page on the other pages?

My request: Could you either a) Share your background or b) Design a blank non/character page with maybe some clip art and a 4x6 "frame"? I don't mind doing the grunt work (part b) if you wanted to share, but I would understand if you didn't want to share your background as well. On this second page, I want to put a page beside each autographed one that is set up to just have a picture of her and the character attached when we get home.

Our trip is not until June so we're not in a real big hurry for either (and if you don't have time for either, I would understand as well) but since we do Arts Cow and their shipping takes forever, it would need to be by like early March? Just let me know....Thanks!

MusicMouse- Thanks for Meredith's autograph cover. She loves it!

I had requested an autograph cover from a different disigner for my son Zachary, but it's getting close to trip time (Jan. 21st) and I'm getting really antsy. When I went back to check I noticed that the disigner hadn't posted anything since October, so I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get my cover. Not a big deal at all. I'm in awe of all the work you disigners do for total strangers. So I'm hoping you can make the red cover for Zachary with Mickey. Maybe move Mickey to the opposite side of the page to change it up and it could say "Zachary's Autographs" and "2012". If you could help me out, I'd be so grateful!

I can do this - give me a couple of days.
