Autograph books!

[Pagirl74]

I was wandering if anyone has ever designed their own autograph book for their child insteading of buying one? I just think it would mean alot more to my DD6 if I made one for her. If anyone has made a book if they could please give me some ideas or send a picture of it I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Yes! I just went to Michaels craft store yesterday and they had blank white
pages that you could actually make a book out of (with a cover). Then we bought a bunch of Disney cut outs in the scrapbooking section. The kids loved it. When you visit DW every year, its good to come up with new ideas.
Have fun!

I don't have a picture of it, but that is what we do too. THe kids and I use our scrapbooking tools and have a great time. I usually go to Hobby Lobby and buy tons of stickers when they go on sale. It is always more of a conversation piece for the characters when they sign it.

Somebody last year sent me an e-mail of pictures of the characters. I printed those out and put them in a book that we decorated. The characters loved it. They made a big deal of signing their name by their pictures. If anyone wants the e-mail let me know and I will send it.

I made two personalized autograph books for my grandkids last year. They were a big hit. I got mine at the Paperchase section of Borders bookstore. I wanted ones big enough to put a 4x6 picture on the page opposite the autograph. I have since done specific themed ones ( Princesses and Buzz Lightyear) on commission and just got a commission for 2 more. One hint- cover them with clear contact paper! It's a little tricky to work with but your books will hold up much better. It prevented disaster on the way there last year for us. Grandson had his carry-on under the seat in front of him and a kid in the seat over it spilled his drink and it leaked into GS's carry-on onto the autograph book. Wiped right off thanks to the contact paper covering the cover. Have fun...remember that there are no rules, just go with what you like. The kids will love them.

This is a lot of fun and a great way to pass the time as you anticipate your trip. I made one by downloading Disney clip art and printing on card stock. Then I organized the pages and had them bound at Kinkos -- this was really nice as they also included a front and back cover, so it looked very finished and I was able to include a bunch of pages.

You can get a lot of grea ideas at the Creative DISign board --- there are a lot of generous people that will give you access to their templates and ideas. There is also a great "sticky" page by Baloo that includes a lot of super Disney clipart sites. Be careful, you also may embark on some personalized t-shirt transfer projects too!!!

There are also great ideas for just having scrapbook pages autographed so you can scrap w/pics when you return. Also pillowcases, quilt squares, picture mats and plain white bucket hats are some ideas for autographs as well.

Here's what I made for DS4. I found the *DIS-lime green* foam book at Walmart back in their craft area. The pages are card stock. The ribbon came from Walmart and the stickers and letters came from Michael's.

There'a a pdf floating around w/ pages for each character w/ a picture and their name on it. Check out the Creative Community board...there are tons of custom autograph book ideas there!!

...t.

I have the autograph book template as well. It's tons of different characters, and room for each one to sign. I printed it at home on lightweight card stock and cropped the edges. Office Max bound it with a coil binding and added plastic to the front and a back part for only 6 dollars...and I love it!!
PM me and I will email it to you...just don't forget to send me your email address.

I had posted about a beautiful autograph book that was shown on the 2 peas website in another thread. Here is the link. It will inspire you.
