Julie! You saved me a lot of thinking!!!

Roxana... I just made something up... then used my opacity tool to make it almost transparent. I then just saved it as a png file.. so I could just add it as an element

Before looking for the tuts I had to take a look to your flicker account. Great job, loved the coverpage of the autograph book (I´m gonna scraplift that!), the pages were so cute, but then when I looked at your journal pages I was

Thanks Paula, I´ll do the same, save as a png. I´ll take a look to your pages in the new album. I love the ribbons in the ring, so cute

I printed those pages for the journal up in Microsoft publisher (you could use word too). Its mostly just tables with our itinerary, ADR info, peoples addresses so I can send post cards, park hours etc. It was a bit of work to make all the pages but I now have the templates I can reuse them again for my next trip. The rest was just gluing paper onto chipboard or heavy cardstock and then punching it with my zutter and binding it.

Roxana...didn't you design them with PSE?? I just uploaded individual pages as if they were scrapbook pages from my desktop. My pages just came today!

I liked adding the ribbons and the little dangling spider and bat! It made it more 'hybrid-ish' LOL! I punched holes in the pages and then added an eyelet to each hole before pasting them back to back. I thought the eyelets might help keep the ring from tearing the pages

Ok so I am going to share a couple more pages here but the rest will be in the gallery I think I did 10 total so far. Its a lot of work posting them all. I re-did the cover, I wasn't happy with it. I get my 32lb weight paper in the mail tomorrow so I can finally print it over the weekend and when I have the finished product I will edit this post and add it.

Yes Paula, I made them with PS, the problem is that my assistant at the printing site is sick and nobody replaces her, so I won´t get my pics until she comes back to work and send them to printing, then they´ll deliver right away. Most of the time is excellent having and assistant there who checks everything you send page by page and checks also after printing before delivery so that the final product is perfect, the cons is that she is not replaced while sick or similar situations. Besides it was holiday here on monday and as I send my pics last friday, she hasn´t been there to send them to print.

Did you add an eyelet to the cover&back or to all the pages as well?

I found an easy way to add a watermark, write your text save it as custom shape, add sytles to it (so it makes more difficult to copy), resize to fit the page and then save as a pattern, so in everypage I just have to add a pattern layer and that´s it! (well the hard part is actually making everything to get the pattern, but is just once, so I won´t have to do it anymore

, unless Carol says I have to change it!)

I did add an eyelet to each page...seperate ones for front and back. If I was doing it over... which I'm not lol! I would put the eyelet into each photo-page... but still put a piece of cardstock in between the 2 sides. The back to back eyelets are very lumpy...I think if there was nice heavy card stock in between... my eyelet backs would have squished into the cardstock a bit, keeping the pages a bit flatter.

like I said... I'm Ok with how I did it... I just think it could be better!

So sorry if your post counts dropped....cause when i deleted it... the comments went too

But now I'm re-uploaded both in an album and also some pages added to hybrid challenge gallery.

My project is completed! i decided not to use the princess pages.. because what I had barely fit in the 'D' rings... so I chose not to add any more pages.

I forget who asked... but I found the princesses dressed as villians via a google search, then just extracted it. I didn't make anything.

Without further ado.... by MNSSHP Autograph books!

Wow
Fantastic Paula

Slowly but surely I'm getting my book done...

I have 9 pages finished, cover, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale...

Now all I have to do is start on the Princess pages..

I stayed true to form with the templates that Kayla gave...The only ones I haven't used were the two pages with the tags...I may alter those a little for my Princess pages...

Also, I want to do a Mulan & Pocahontas page, I need an idea what to use.. Any suggestions???
