They look amazing!!! Great job! More questions... sorry! How did you do the covers with the designs and writing, and also about how much did Kinkos charge to do the binding? Thanks SO much!

The designs were made by a designer here on DIS. After they did them for me, I uploaded the picture to Walgreens and printed it out as a 4 x 6 picture. KINKOS charged me $5.49 each to bind.

Forgive my ignorance on this, but does she sell her work, or is ok to copy the pictures? I hadn't planned to make a book, but these are quite nice...

Erica,

She does not sell her work. It is against Disney Copyright to use their images to make money off of it. If you are using it for your own personal use, then its ok. The designers here on DIS are WONDERFUL! They take their own time & energy to create these BEAUTIFUL designs!

Thanks!! The surprising thing is that it wasn't that difficult either. I DID NOT want to take on the challenge & wanted someone to do them for me but, in the end, I'm glad I took the time to make them. My kids LOVE them!!

I did ones that look similar-- you will have a great time! We had such a great time with them ( but don't get too caught up with getting the autographs-- I did and should have spent more time ENJOYING the park-then trying to find the characters!)

I hear ya!!! I don't planning on obsessing on it at all. WHichever ones we don't run into, I'll pull out of the book when we get home.

Good point about the copyright, I hadn't thought of it like that. I was just impressed by the amount of work that went into this, and didn't feel right just taking it. But if that's expected/ allowed, it's different - thanks!

Denise,
Your books look terrific! Have fun with them. The characters really do make a fuss!!!!

I actually made these pages for my DD's book ..... this will be our third homemade book. When you are on the boards and see people requesting and using the designs, you begin to think that you will see this stuff EVERYWHERE. Homemade stuff is still pretty rare and it'll really make your kids feel special when characters fuss and cm's and guests comment on them!

they look great.

Your books turned out so well! Your kids must be so excited. I have a quick question. Did you print out your pages on your own home printer, or did you upload them and have them printed on cardstock somewhere else?

 

[ppiew]

Question: Is the actual 4 x 6 autograph card separate from the 8.5 X 11 sheet? if so, i assume they are glued on?

 

[DSoltes7]

Silly question, what is chipboard?

I'm thinking of doing my own, but not sure if I want to do 4x6 photos or cardstock..

Thanks

 

[ppiew]

Still confused about the pages. (sorry - old and dumb) do i print the pictures on photo paper and glue to card stock? if I print pix on cardstock, the colors won't come out right! Help!

 

[GoofyTraci]

This are awesome!! Good job and thanks for the pics and helpful info.

 

[sher92]

They came out absolutely adorable...so cute! This is all new to me so I'm trying to figure out what and how to make mine...how did you decide which characters to use and include? Did you pick some of your kids favorite and then that's the page that the characters will sign? What will you do when you see a character that you don't have in your book, did you use blank pages for these occasions?

Sorry, for the crazy questions...thanks for your help though!

 

[lovemykids74]

Your books look great!
Previously I uploaded and saved the same images. They are amazing! I believe mine are saved in a Picasa program. How did you get them into word to be able to print them on cardstock? I am also interested, did you print these yourself or have them printed somewhere else? I will be one of those with 100 questions too, but I think my kids would get a kick out of something so cute!
Thanks for the help,
Cris
