Hi everyone! Thanks to stcassidy's inspiration, I have made these beautiful autograph books for my DDs first Disney trip. They came out way nicer than I expected and I put alot of love and work into them. Enjoy my pics.

To all the wonderful DISigners that made t-shirt designs for me... My pics will come in a couple weeks. We packed all our clothes already and I forgot to take pics. I will take some as they wear them and post them when I get home. I don't want you to think I forgot asbout your hard work!

Okay question! So you just bought a book and decorated it and the characters sign in them? Or did you make print outs of the character autograph pages then make the book from scratch? If so then how do you make a sprial book. I've been wondering how to make the books for my kids but not sure how. Yours look great!!

Thank you! I made the book from scratch. The front and back covers is chipboard that is covered in scrapbook paper. I used various picture and letter stickers. The inside cover paper is colored cardstock as are all the autograph pages in the books (I would have used the character pages that you see here on the Dis, but I ran out of time). Once I was done putting them all together, I brushed Mod Podge over them for the shiny look (it also hardens everything, most of the stickers I used were 3-D). Then I took them to my local Fed Ex Kinkos store and they bound it all for me. It took me almost a week to get all 5 of these books done. We started about 5pm and finished around 10 or so. It took a long time to do the first one (MK), once we (DM and I) got the hang of it, it went a little smoother, but still took awhile! We put much though into the stickers and paper we would use as well as where to place everything. We wanted them to be "perfect". It became a little obssesive! We had alot of fun making them, and will do it again.
