Hi Hon
You can choose to print the pages from your own printer or go to a Kinkos or staples walmart and print them there.
I would suggest printing them at a place that will print them off and spiral bind them into a little Booklet for her.
It was suggested to me that I should have uploaded all my images to a USB key instead of paying for internet time at my kinkos but I am not sure how to do this and i just downloaded them from photobucket and then they(staff) helped me print and spiral bind the booklet. I used laser light weight cardstock,which is what they suggested and they came out great.

I recently did this for my grand-daughter

here is a pic of one of her "Booklets"

I have posted a cover page in my photobucket for you,,I can seem to find the other page you are referring to?

Do you happen to remember how much it cost you to make this book? It looks great. Kinkos didn't give you trouble for printing Disney items? I'm looking to start making Autograph books for my trip and I'm kind of dreading the process... I've got no idea where to start. I downloaded a TON of pages, but now I'm stuck and definitely concerned about the weight of the books and the cost.

Hi Hon
Nope kinkos was great--I just said "I made this for my granddaughter and want to print it" I think if I was mass producing something for sale with Disney images then they might not print them.
each page 8x11 was around a $1.00 because I used a light lazer printer weight card stock.It is cheaper to use regular printer computer paper. (not sure of that cost)
I've never done autograph books but there is a thread by Musicmouse that talks about the process.
Hope this helps

Mel -
Was just wondering if you by chance make candy bar wrappers for the small Hershey bars? If not, off the top of your head, do you know who might? Was trying it on my own but I jsut can't get the sizing right!
Looking for something Christmasy.
Thanks again!

Hi Mel! I LOVE your I Survived the Rockin' Roller Coaster Certificate. Would you be able to make one for my son, Zachary? The date would be August 2011. I'm trying to plan out my scrapbook for our trip and the picture that they took of him and my husband is priceless!! I would love to be able to place this next to their picture.

Thanks so much, Dawn

Hi Mel,
On the tipping envelopes, am I supposed to tape or glue them? Are there instructions somewhere? I printed them and cut them out, folded them but am not sure about how to "finalize" the envelopes. If you have instructions, I have missed them - can you point me to them?
Thanks,
Leslie

Hi Mel. I LOVE the design you made me. It is better than perfect! How did you know that image of the castle is my FAVORITE? Today I printed out the image and had it laminated. It has all of my favorite things on it and looks like a scene that belongs together. You whipped it up so fast I couldn't believe it! You must have lots of great images saved already. I can't thank you enough! I had posted a question asking designers their top three sites for great images. I haven't gotten too many responses yet. Have you got any favorites? Thanks again! -Roni

Hi Hon I'm going to try using one I just made for my trip and explain

The bottom white strip and the side white piece both are folded in and are
glued to make the envelope. A small sticker or tape is used to seal the flap
once the tip has been inserted inside.I hope this helps,i don\t have any pictures(photos) to share.

They are kinda like the small money envelopes the bank gives you.

kinda like this except mine does not have a line down the middle of it.
P.S. use a plain glue stick

Hi Roni
That castle image is my favorite and I used it to make my grand-daughter a special booklet for our breakfast with the princesses.
My son say I have almost 2GB of clip art--I guess that's alot.
I really don't have a favorite site,,quite often I will just do a google search and then look at the images until I find what I'm looking for.


Happy Planning to you

Hugs Mel

Hi again Mel. I was wanting to print out a copy of that castle image (just the Thomas Kincaid painting) for a shirt. I was going to print out what I could find until I stumbled upon a good resolution. The image you are using looks fabulous. Could you just post the castle painting for me so I have a good resolution for my shirt? That would be so helpful! Also I love Hannah's tip envelope. Could I possibly get it without any writing on it at all? If you prefer not to make blanks could you put my name somewhere on it, either "Roni" or "Roni Dawn"? Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and sharing your talent! -Roni

I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing designs. I am beyond thankful.
Thank you VERY much.

Mel - THANK YOU so very much for envelope folding 101. I seriously needed that!!! And your instructions were perfect - and the envelope you used as an example is soooo gorgeous.

Even more excited now to use the envelopes. They looked great before, but now that I actually know how to fold them and glue them they are going to look fabulous!!!

Hi Mel,
I just want to start by saying that I think your designs are wonderful. I am particularly fond of your journal pages. I really like the "Disneyland Journal", but we're traveling to WDW in a few weeks. I was hoping that you could modify 3 pages for me please and possibly design a new page.

1. In your photobook account under "Journal Pages", you have a page for 1900 Park Fare. I was hoping you could please change it to Cinderella's Royal Table for me. We're going for breakfast.

2. In your "Disneyland Journal” I was wondering if you could make a Day 5 page with "Kids' Choice Day" for a heading, Pluto on the bottom and the same wording as "Days 1-4".

3. Also under the "Disneyland Journal"- If possible, can you please swap out Sleeping Beauty's castle for a picture of Cinderella's castle and change the title to World from land on the "Memories/Wish" page?

4. For a new page if possible- similar to the "Hidden Mickey" page for WDW- but for Pressed Pennies.

Thank you so very much in advance.

Hi Hon
This maybe cutting it short --I'm not sure when your trip is?
I would need a bit of time to redo these and I am heading out of town this weekend.
I will do my best --maybe by middle of next week-or the following weekend.

I really appreciate you doing this. Next week (even weekend) would be great. We're not leaving until October 20th. I plan on printing them at home to put in a binder and I could have the kids finish those particular pages at home after our trip. Thank you so very much for tackling these for me.
