A Simple Guide to Making an Autograph Book

[revwog1974]

Has anyone tried having multiple characters sign on the same 4x6 page? I see some autograph cards that are Chip and Dale or Lilo and Stitch. Does this work or is there not enough room?

Another problem with Arts Cow!! I ordered my books last week and got an email today...

We've done it a few times but we have had the card on a larger flat surface (placed it on the back of a firm larger book for example) as it can be awkward for the characters with big gloves on.

Also be aware of how long the character's name is. For example, Tinkerbelle and Cinderella will take a lot of space on the card, where as Chip and Dale are short names, but their script may be a bit larger.

I've had two sign a 4x6 several times without problems. Wasn't expecting Bert so I had him sign with Mary Poppins (and Peter Pan gave him grief for not getting his own card!) and had Belle sign for the Beast on her card. Hook and Smee signed on the same card as well. Just let them know to leave room for their counterpart.

I'm looking for some Halloween autograph cards for Mickey, Pluto, Donald and Goofy. I'm going to the Disneyland Halloween party and the only autograph cards I can find say MNSSHP or "Boo to You" on them so they won't work for Disneyland. I posted a thread in the main forum but nobody responded. Natalie made a cute Minnie Mouse card that doesn't say MNSSHP. I don't care if the others match. Does anyone know a designer who might be willing to make Halloween autograph cards for Disneyland?

Okay, I went a little overboard, but here are the Fab 6 for Halloween :

It does happen from time to time. Every once in a while someone does a spot check on the contents of an album and will reject it. It seems to be totally random, so I'm very sorry that your book was in the wrong place at the wrong time. If Artscow won't print it, I would suggest Snapfish, Mixbook, Walgreens, or Shutterfly - they have all been used by folks here and are all of good quality.

Music Mouse, you must be spying on me

I suddenly realized I have no Halloween pages for our autograph book and we are doing two MNSSHP's .... opened the Creative Disign board up to do a search and here you've just posted these awesome cards! Thank you soooooo much. I'm using all of them!

 

[pequele]

Do you have a link to photobucket or whatnot for your designs? I'm on my iPad app so forgive me for not searching the whole link. Love the Halloween ones and plan on going for Halloween next year but this year we are doing Christmas and I'm doing my first book for my son so I'm taking it ALLLLLLL in. Plus I went out and got PSE10 the other day hahaha. I will attempt to make some before Dec if I have time but if not it is my plan after our trip to do so

Yep, I'm spying on you! If there are other characters that you would like to have, just let me know.

The link to my photobucket account is in my signature. You can also click on any of the images of cards that I have put on here and they will take you there as well. Have fun with PSE 10 - the learning curve is a bit steep but you can do amazing things with it!

Thank you. I'll check at home when I can see siggies. Don't want work to catch me surfing

Thanks for the info. As I did some more DIS searches, it seems like the problem is that I have Disney characters on the cover. ArtsCow did give me the option to redesign it so we will see what happens. Thanks!

Those are fantastic. Thank you so very much! I don't think anyone is going to object to you going overboard. Thank you so much. I hope they're used by more people than just me. Thank you so much.

Would you consider doing some for princesses too? I know I said just the Fab 6 but if you have time it would be really nice. Please?

Okay, I went a little overboard, but here are the Fab 6 for Halloween :

I have had no problem using all your other autograph cards, but for some reason when I try to save these MNSSHP ones (so stinkin' cute BTW!!!) they are all stretched out. I've tried them zoomed out and in....and it's the same. Any thoughts? I love them and would love to have them for our party.

 

[revwog1974]

I had that problem too but they resized just fine. So you can re size them in Word and they'll turn out great.

 

[slbgnb]

Whew! That worked!!! These are just too cute not to bring with me! Thanks.

Hi, Can I please have this design with the name Bridget and the year 2012. thanks

I am planning my son's first trip and ran across this thread about autograph books. I am hooked!! Has anyone ever uploaded pictures to Shutterfly, selected as 5x7 and them cropped to make white border around it. Does this give you enough room to take to office supply store to get spiral binding put on?

I want to be able to cut the holes out when we get back to put the autographs with my son's picture in his scrapbook.

Can I also get a cover with Noah's Autograph Book 2012 Walt Disney World

Thanks for helping the newbie!

I am very new to all this! I love the pics that DoNatalie posted on her photo bucket site I think in album 1. Plain white background with an outline and the character pic in the corner. Is there a way that I could get one of Flynn and Rapunzel and Merida? I didn't know if the artists update the photo albums or not. Thanks!

I think that she is not designing anymore. Here is a link to some similar cards with newer characters. It has Flynn and Rapunzel but not Merida.
