Hi all,
I've very artistic challenged. I want to make DD an autograph book. I've looked at many on this board and the twopeasinabucket (i think thats it!) and have a really good idea of what i want to do. I just can't figure out the "how" part.
I went to JoAnn last night and bought a few things. I've also bought the Disney Princess autograph book which seems so plain compared to what you all have done. I bought an 8 X 8 book which seems to be the best size for what I want. I bought a few stamps and have some clipart downloaded. I found fonts I want to use and page kits.
Problem is, I don't get how I create the one side photo and one side for signing look. The albums I saw all seemed like photo albums. Do I just buy the blank sheets (or printed sheets) and insert inbetween? Or do I glue them over the photo sheets?
is there photo matte I can buy to give the "framed" look?
Also, I was shocked at how much everything will cost. I bought an album on clearance, the princess paper clips and a few sheets of stickers and spent $30 already. I need to buy the page kit, more stickers, ribbons and something to decorate the front. I'm guessing its going to be over $60 before I'm close to done and that doesn't count the actual photos!
I would really appreciate any "do this dummy" type help!
I really want to create a very special memento for my lil angel.
Thank you!
