Homemade Autograph Book Questions...

[*~PrincessBelle~*]

I've got a solo trip planned for January and I think I would be so fun to get autographs ....I think i've gotten over the "will people think i'm weird getting autographs when im 22 years old" thing but now i'm thinking I want to make my own books....I just started getting into scrapbooking and think that this would a fun project for me to do while the hubby is away...I just don't know where to start...

Do you typically use Word and set the page settings to the desired card size then print them off at home? Do you use card stock? Is it better to do your designs on the comp rather than scrapbook them? I just don't know where to start just yet

TIA

If you are wanting to DISign your own autograph pages...check out the "how to DISign using MS Word" thread and it will give you details on how to make your own autograph cards. I think the instructions are on page 2 or 3...

I would recommend setting up the page to the size you want to print and design them from there. Also, make sure that you use cardstock to print them on. If you are going to design your own in word...you will have to print them at home. 95% of most print shops will not print them because of the strict copy right laws with disney images. You can not make money off of their images...that is why we do everything for free on these boards.

If you want to use someone else's autograph pages like Natalie's, Penny's (Chaoscent) or LJCollins save them as a jpeg to your pictures and have them printed at a photo shop on matte paper. That will save you a lot of work and money in ink cartridges.

Thank you so much for giving me a place to start! Sounds like a good rainy day project for me this weekend
