Autographs

[cmaelltt1]

Ok. I'm ready to start scrapbooking. I've got my creative memories order ready to go out. Thanks for the ideas on what to buy.

I want to premake our 2 autograph books on the 7 X 7 CM books. I plan on having a space for the autograph and picture on each page. How much space should I leave for the Autograph? Most characters will have their own pages, but I plan to share pages with some of the less popular characters. How many pages would be best to take? The book has 12 pages already but I was thinking of adding like 6 more to each book. Which will give me 36 working pages.

Does anyone have a list of the most likely characters we'll see? We will be doing Donalds breakfast, so I know we'll see all the regulars there. I've looked at several books that others have made and just have to narrow down my ideas a little. I figure my girls and I can spend all of November on this and it will make the last month of waiting go by quicker.

Let each character sign on a page and put the picture on the facing page. I've used these albums several times now -- the more room the characters have to write on the more creative the signatures can become. I then go back and add refill pages in between the signature pages to the album to put the pictures on after I return from the trip.

Hope this helps!

p.s. These albums fit nicely inside a gallon size ziplock bag to keep them looking cleaner while you're in the parks.

Have fun!

I'd say...Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, Cinderella, Eeyore, Pooh & Tigger.

i would cut card stock into a size you think is able to be matted and fit along side of your 4x6 photos in your album. I would then have the characters sign those and then bring them home and mount them into the album with the photos. This leaves you much more flexibility with pic size, color choice and such. I worry the character may sign the whole page or sign upside down and then you will be going crazy trying to fit in a pic. You could carry the cardstock in a ziploc along with a small clipboard for something to sign on. This way you can get as many as you like and not worry you have enough pages. Plus what if you get two cute pics with mic or min and want them both in the autograph book. It seems to confining to have them sign right in the album. But as I said just my opinion......but remember that album isn't cheap either and if something happened to it you would be upset. This way you just wait in line for another autograph, nothing lost.

We got over 50 autographs on our 5 day trip. Some were repeats.

Thanks, I really like the cardstock idea. I was doing some more browsing and saw some Tag ones I liked too. I'll talk to the girls and see what they want to do. I had wanted to do most of the books before we leave to buil the anticipation but maybe it will be something to do when we come back as something to for the end of the year.

I just finished my autograph book and I used the tag idea. I made each picture mat for a 4x6 picture and then the tag which was about 3.5 x 6 with a 4x7 tag holder. I love the tag idea because I will be able to just take the tag with me to the parks and not the album itself. Just remember if you do the tag idea to take a small clipboard or something for the characters to write on. You can even attach a pen to the clipboard so you won't loose the pen.
