Cardstock for autograph book ?

[Juliee8]

I am going to the craft store today to pick up the stuff to make the autograph books for the kids. My question is, what is the best to use for the pages and covers? I had read a post about using regular 8.5 x 11 cardstock for the pages themselves. Is that pretty much what everyone uses? Is there anything else that you have used? Also I would like the cover to be a little bit stronger so I know that it is going to hold up. What should I use for this?

Thanks

I definitely recommend using cardstock for the autograph pages and if you want the cover and back to be a little more substantial...cut chipboard to the right size and cover with your cover artwork. Hope that helps! Dolly

I used cardstock, too. I have read that some people use index cards, but I prefer cardstock b/c it is stronger. You can take it to staples and have it bound and they can add stronger front and back covers for you.
