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?

Hi! I printed them on my own home CANON computer.

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?

Hi! Sorry....about not answering sooner. We have spent the last week moving so I have spotty computer service. We are doing a total GUT rehab on our house & adding a 2nd floor. I should be up & running in a day or 2.

The actual autograph cards were printed on 8.5 x 11 cardstock that I cut down w/ a paper cutter. The autograph cards were printed out in a 4 x 6 size but the paper itself was cut into a 5 x 7 size....note the white borders around the autograph card.

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

CHIPBOARD is a thick cardboard that I used for the front & back covers to make them sturdy. You can buy them at HOBBY LOBBY in a pack of 2 or 4 but I just bought mine on EBAY. LOTS CHEAPER!!

they look great.

THanks!! I can't wait to see the character interaction w/ the kids! PRICELESS!!!

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!

I printed them out directly onto CARDSTOCK. I had to use the back loading paper section of my printer though. THe front loading section would not take the thick paper.

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!

I found a link that listed all the characters & the chances of actually getting their autograph. How "available" they are. SO I have 60 pages for my daughter & 70 for my son. If I don't get all the autographs then when I get home, I'll just pull those pages out. I also included some blanks w/ nice border inthe back of the book in case we came across a character I did not have.

I think I'm all caught up w/ all my ques?????

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!

Natalie.....I couldn't have done it without your BEAUTIFUL work. **Kudos and a big MWAH (smootch) to you!!!**

Natalie,

My kids can't wait! I've got all of my custom outfits for my son & daughter ready and waiting in their suitcase! We've decided NOT to do MNSSHP this time around. THey are only 3 & 5 are NOT going to make it staying up that late. We plan on doing it our next trip in a year or 2 when they are a bit older. I'm sad b/c I'd like to do it but then I'd be quite upset if I spent all the money & they are either too crabby or are sleeping in the stroller. The HEAT in Sept. tends to knock them (as well as me) out for a loop!

Your welcome! Yes...I agree all the DISigners are truly WONDERFUL!! I actually do NOT know what I would have done without DISBOARDS! I gained so much insightful information that I am using to help make this trip SO MUCH MORE ORGANIZED than our 2007 trip. I am actually feeling much more confident w/ all the knowledge I've gained. KUDOS TO DIS!!!

Posh....how many spaces did you put between the two cards? I actually got them on the page, but am not sure how much space to put to make it only one cut. Does that make sense?

POOH:

I was a paper waster. I only printed 1 per page. I was afraid I wasn't going to get them both on 1 page correctly. I just finished my EPCOT PASSPORTS last night. I am posting them in a thread right now.
