Yes, I sure do!

I use this site a lot. But, you can also just search on Free Fonts in yahoo or google and TONS of sites come up. You just have to search through them and find what you like. You can also do a yahoo or google search on something like "Free Disney Font" and it will come up that way too, if you know the name of the specific font you are looking for.

Thank you!!

I added Pluto's signature by scanning in the signature I got from him while I was there (he signed with a sharpie in an autograph book, and I scanned it in) Then just added it to my page and put a background glow on it to pop out.

Hope that answered your question

I've been doing exactly this as well!

Some of the first pages I did were scrapping Princess/Mouse/Villian character meets that we did with my niece last year. It was her birthday, so there were many characters who wrote special messages, etc. So I got the autograph book, and have been color photocopying them with my scanner.

They look great! They even look better than in the autograph book, because the ones in those books tend to get marred by indentations from other signatures, or just being dragged around a park. It's still a great souvie, especially since you carried it with you the whole trip (I like to think the imperfections as character LOL). These look crisp and clear.

So far I've just been copying them out of the autograph book as I need them, but I'll have to give it back soon (and I'm making duplicates of all the scrap pages for a book for my niece for Xmas), so I'm going to scan them all in and save them for good. I've found a nice 5x7, the autograph (even blew a few up), and a few embellishments make a VERY lovely page! Especially when you can find character-specific paper/etc. (Can you tell I am addicted to Disney scrap stuff, LOL.)

I've started to suggest this when I see people spending time making beautiful, complex autograph books to take to the parks. Those are awesome, but a) you never know what characters you will actually see, and b) as much as I love "character" in items (i.e. little dents, etc. that give stuff history) I'd be too afraid of losing embellishments, etc. So I find the small Disney autograph books great for this. Plus you still have the "original".

I actually going to dig out my old autograph book from the 80's to bring on my next trip with me. It will be so much fun to compare character sigs from 1986 - 2006. I'm going to be so careful with that book, though - it's an artifact!

I spent some time really viewing all the layouts shown in this threa an they are just awesome!! I decided to upload some of the layouts I created from our trip last year, they are all done digitally (hope its okay that I share them here, I noticed most here are paper style). If you wish to look you can find them here:

Renysmom, those were some great layouts! I guess leaning digital layouts will be next on my to-do list.

Thanks for sharing!

Where did you get those really cool background papers?

Thanks! SWSA is my favorite ride, and the Queen my favorite Disney character, so I had so much fun making it. I'm just learning scrapbooking so they aren't "professional" LOL, but I think they came out okay.

For the paper...the background on the lighter spiderwebs (the 2nd and 5th pages) is cardstock I found at my LSS. The webs photographed more defined than they are on the actual cardstock; on page two in real life they are more subtle.

The two pages with the brighter spider webs (four and five), the forrest (page one), and the "mirror" paper came from JoAnn's when they had that great 5/$1 sale. You can't tell from the pics, but the magic mirror is actually a "mirror" - you can see yourself in it. I wanted to get more detailed on the mirror itself, but my attempts came out poorly, and then I looked at the picture from the ride and the one that actually appears behind the queen is rather plain. This is one page I might re-do if I can get more creative - I even downloaded some line drawings of it from the Internet, but couldn't get it to work. I'm happy with how this one came out, though.

Thanks for looking at them!

Thanks for the info, the webs look very spooky, perfect for the layout. The mirror idea was great!

Thanks! I was just looking at them and realized that you can see some pages from the book behind it...lest anyone think they are funky borders, I just wanted to point that out LOL. It's also funny what photographs well and what doesn't - for instance, the stickers with clear borders look transparent on the sheet, but they show up more in the pics. And a few of the imperfections are actually harder to see, LOL.

Not only am I learning scrapping, but now I'm learning how to photograph them hehe. I'm thinking for a big shoot I'd get the tripod out and turn it fully 90% and photograph them like they film animation.

NED those are AWESOME!!!! Wow wow wow! I'm very impressed, way better than I ever did as a beginner! Are you sure your not pulling our legs?

I love the pics too, how did you ever get them so clear? DH took photos in there once but they didn't come out very well. Same with the Pooh ride, most are fuzzy.

LOL thanks for the vote of confidence

They were taken over many different rides through the attraction. On my solo trip in 2004 during MNSSHP I rode in the building totally alone (other cars were empty, no one in line) and got to take a ton of great pics with the flash.

Pooh is coming along now. I'm hoping I can keep it to 6 pages, but I have so many I want to use it may be 8...

Thanks latharia! Just checked out your new LO's - they are great! I can't believe how you got all those different designs into the Epcot one. And that split picture in the China LO - that worked very well.

[NewEnglandDisney]

Well, I've finished my Pooh Ride layout! Here it is. I really used a lot of those great Sandylion stickers with the transparent borders; I love how they look on the page, but not how they photograph. I swear, in person you can't see the seams! LOL.

I love the shot of the empty chairs, can I scraplift that from you??? I like your Epcot page too. I have such a hard time scrapping 1 photo. yours is great!


NED great job as usual! I love the papers. You have a few shots that we have but ours are a little soft. I scrapped them anyway.

 

[latharia]

Thanks, NED & B&MB - and yes, feel free to scraplift! Love your Pooh LOs -- never thought to scrap pics from the interior of a ride ... can't seem to get good pics, and I'm always too busy enjoying the ride to monkey with my camera!

I have some of my Disney pages to share. Hope you like them!

OOh, I really like that. I have a Pooh punch coming (you started my obsession with that lovely castle you sent me LOL) and I was planning on adding a few extra embellishments to the Pooh Layout then. I just might have to scraplift a little there LOL.

Oh, I took them over many rides. You're lucky to get one or two good ones each ride. I believe all the Pooh ones I took myself, except for the one of the attraction sign. I stole that off the Internet. For the SWSA L.O., I believe the there were 2 that I found that with google images. If anyone wants to steal some from me, LOL, I'll post 'em up on PhotoBucket. I plan on getting a bunch of ride pics on my next trip, as well as ALL the signs I can find - I'm going to put them up on Photobucket so people can grab them if they need. I'm talking restaurants, everything!
