I finally finished my Autograph Albums!!! YEAH! ((WITH PICS))

[DSoltes7]

I FINALLY finished my autograph albums! Thank you so much the FABULOUS DISigners for their disigns - Donatalie, Chaos1cent, Jtanddolly, and LJCollins!

I took them to kinkos and had them cut as well as bound. It saved A TON of time! I ended up having to split off the character meal pages, as it would have been a novel for my DD's to carry around. So instead of 4 I ended up with 6!

I love how they turned out, and now I'll have to hide them since my 4yr old DD has already flipped through them 5 times today...

huh, so kinkos didn't hassle you about binding the Disney printed pages??!??

 

[DSoltes7]

Nope. It's only the printing that they have license issues with. I took in my cardstock pages with 2 prints per page and they cut them down (I only needed 2 cuts) and then bound them. No issues at all...other than my slightly paranoid state and giving my "babies" over to them...lol

looks great. I have to get started with mine.

 

[DSoltes7]

Thank You!

I have to say that once I got started, it was pretty easy. The only thing that took forever was the printing!

 

[DSoltes7]

Just wanted to thank the DISigners again for thier talent, generosity and gifts. Without your pixie dust I couldn't have made it happen...

I think it depends on the perosn behind the counter. I took my autograph book, disney journal and they never once gave me a hassle. They even printed the pages for me.

Is the cover cardstock as well? If I wanted a stiffer cover, what would I use, and what materials can Kinko's still bind? Just wondering...... Beautiful books!!!

The cover is cardstock, the very front and back is the cover provided by kinkos. It's a clear cover and black back. I believe that they can bind any weight cardstock and paper up to a certain thickness. Are you looking at using other materials?

Love the cake in your profile pic btw...adorable adorable adorable!!!

Thanks! I made the cake! Thanks for the info at Kinko's. BTW....I emailed you this am re: the margins on the book inserts. Thanks!

 

[DSoltes7]

I sent you an email back with the rest of the files. I sent them out to two more people as well...

If anyone else wants the files or templates or needs help with how to create autograph albums let me know! I am more than willing to help!

Please email the files and templates. Jenladybug@att.net


Thanks!

These are really cute!

I need HELP, please. We are doing these for the first time. My first question is how to make them print as 5x7. Or if you've got any suggestions on how to get started.

I LOVE your books. They are just what we are wanting. I've just discovered this section of the board and now need to do the research on how to make the books. If you have ANY suggestions, that'd be great.

Thanks, Vicki

oh, my email is cvrapclark@knology.net if you can send me the info.

 

[DSoltes7]

Yep no problem, the email is on it's way. Feel free to ask any more question that you need to. The cards I did were 4x6 image size, but the total page was about 5 1/2 by 6 1/2.

[donatalie]

This is how I cut mine..........


I also had my books bound on the top!

Thank You!!!

You're Welcome!
Your book turned out great!

 

[DSoltes7]

Hey what can I say, I learned from the BEST Disigners!! Big Big Hugs to you for your help and there wouldn't be a book at all without your FANTABULOUS disigns.

Thanks again!!

Let me know what you think about that Autograph Albums Help sticky as well. I posted that idea earlier today.

Dawn

 

[cvrapclark]

Okay. I'm making some progress. The only thing I had a problem was was getting two on a page with a large enough space in between.

Do you think it'd be easier to just put one on a page. I'm heading out to buy the cardstock now, hope it's not too much!!!

 

[DSoltes7]

How large did you want the album (total size) to be? Are you sizing the actual image to 5x7 or 4x6?

Dawn

 

[cvrapclark]

Sorry. I ran to Michaels.

I had used some of your templates and then tried to do my own. They are the 4x6.

But I was thinking I might like the 5x7. How do you resize to do that? Then I'm sure I could only get one per page. The cardstock was 3.99 for 50 pages so I don't think that's too bad.

Can you help me resize them to 5 x 7 with an inch at top for binding? does that make sense?

Thanks, Vicki
