Mini autograph books

[mel746]

Hi, I am fairly new to this board and am currently working on mini autograph albums for our family trip in December 2006. I am making books for the character meals we have scheduled. Here are links to 2 autograph books I have finished. I am not crazy about my Mickey's ackyard Bar B Q book but I really love my book I made for Breakfastosaurus and Garden Grill. It is a simple format but I like it. I think it is the paper I like most. LOL

The first book is for Mickey's Backyard Bar B Q. I used a solder to burn the Mickey icon into my wood book cover. I did the title and character names with my Wishblade. I redid the front page of the album. My original is the last photo.

The second book is for Breakfastosaurus and Garden Grill. I used Basic Grey Oh Baby paper collection so I would not have to think about color coordination. The book is a Sarabinder with pocket pages. The pages are 5x5 and the tages in the pockets are for the autographs. I used the Wishblade for titles and Stickles to make the title "pop" on the page. This is my favorite mini book so far. The characters in the Garden Grill section are all paper piecings I made. I opted for a simple repetititive format since the trip was planned last minute for us and I had lots to do.

I am currently working on autograph books for Crystal Palace and Chef Mickey's. This is why I posted a few days ago for a Chef Miceky graphic. I have not started a book for the Princess Storybook Breakfast because I have not decided how to do that meal since I do not know which Disney Princesses will be present at our meal.

Please, let me know what you think and if you have ideas for changes I could make or if you have ideas for my other books.

This is such a neat idea--one book for each breakfast! I would love to see these, but for some reason, I can't get the link to work.

I would love to see these too. I think the link is incomplete perhaps.

I also cannot see anything, but I do know that posting a pic here has its own rules and DH ended up having to help me.

It was Greek to me!

Good luck and let us see the photos when you can.

I think these should work and you don't have to sign in or have an account. They worked for me anyway.

Melanie, those are AMAZING!!! They are both beautiful--I LOVE the Garden Grill pages!! Very, very inspiring!!

OT--AWM, where did that adorable cheerleader in your sig come from? I love it, too!!

Thanks for the kind words about my autograph books. My DD wants me to get some colorful Sharpies or something similar for the characters to use in the autograph. I hope to get some good photos at the meals and print them when I get home. This way I will have some of my trip scrapped lickety split.


BTW I agree that the Cheerleader Minnie is a great signature!
