I read a tip somewhere that it'd be worthwhile to create an autograph book, instead of spending the money to purchase one. So, since I scrapbook (yes, I'm a guy. Yes, I scrapbook.), I decided to attempt to make one for my daughter for our first trip. My first objective was to find a small enough 3-ring binder that wouldn't create too much of a burden to lug around the park. I found a bright pink 6x8 binder at Office Depot for $4.
Next was locating the right paper! I was thinking 5x7 card stock, which Office Depot doesn't sell. I was looking for a variety of colors, and hopelessy searched the 'net. When I couldn't find it, I almost settled on blank 5x7 index cards (white card stock), but then found 5.5x7.5 assorted card stock at Michael's! I was thrilled!
After that, I went about scouring the 'net for free Disney-related clip art. I printed the pages on both sides. I have one page for the autograph, and one page for the pic that will be taken with the character. I also took a Disney Princess gift bag that a b-day present was once wrapped in, cut it apart, and I'm going to embelish the front and back of the binder with it. I'll post a page or 2 from the book, and a pic of the front and back once it's done. Only thing left to do is hot-glue or superglue the embelishments and punch holes in the pages.
DW says I should sell the pages online for a small fee. I just enjoyed doing it!
