Not sure if anyone has ever thought of this or not but I decided to make a scrap book of my costumes. Right now I am only printing out some of my favorite pictures but I will get around to printing out a lot and making a whole scrap book of them. I may scan the pages in latter after I get them done

That's a good idea. I've been in the works of doing that for myself for a while. I just am waiting to build up my photos a bit more, and then I plan to order prints from Snapfish.com. Super cheap, super quality prints, better than my printer anyway, heh.

But yeah, good luck with that, Nikki. It's probably the best way of having tangible memorabilia from your cosplay photos.

My printer does a pretty good job. They look just like they do on the computer so i figured that is good enough

Nice. My printer....it's only good on documents, lol. Something's wrong with it when it comes to printing things in color. But Snapfish is good enough for me, since it's like .09 cents per print, pretty decent.

Well I got two pages done but we don't have a whole lot of scrap book supplies so they are a little blank. I am also going to make a page after each con with the best picture of each costume taken at the con and the con badge on it. So I will probably make another page after Kumoricon.

That's a great idea! Sounds really fun.

I will wonder up and down the halls a lot. I don't think I will be outside much because two of my three costumes will be very very hot x.x

I'd do that but none of my costumes are any good lol

nikkiolie · « **Reply #9 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:32:28 pm »

your costumes are fine. What are you talking about. You have so many of them *____*

Sugarlat · « **Reply #10 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:34:13 pm »

lol well maybe it's just me XD I'm not photogenic

nikkiolie · « **Reply #11 on:** June 29, 2009, 10:37:44 pm »

It just takes practice. I am not photogenic at all outside of my costumes. I have no pictures of myself normally but a bunch in costume.

That's a great idea! Most people just have pics of their cosplays on the computer and that's it. I might want to make one now... *adds to ever growing project list* there! Right below the 1934398.... cosplays I want to do

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** June 30, 2009, 10:50:44 am »

Yeah it isn't too bad. I need to pick out at least one good picture from all my costumes

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #14 on:** July 01, 2009, 06:17:35 am »

lol i'm gonna just probably pic like the coolest pics i take,doesnt matter on the costume, then make a badass scrapbook so i can show it off at schoool and people will be like WHOAAAAAAAAAAAA thats cool, you were there and i could be like "ya i was there" lulz

I scrapbook alot. I love it. You can get really cheap small albums from walmart or decent priced ones from freddys. Most Scrapbook stores are expensive. Joanns and micheals also carry a wide array of scrapbook products as well. And Joanns has really great sales on theirs all the time. The one in east port plaza has a huge assortment of goodies for scrapbooking. I plan on making a small 8x8 album of kumoricon this year as it will be my first con to participate in.

Awww, cute idea! It's kinda like a portfolio... but more decorated! =D

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:38:07 am »

Agreed.
Its fun going back to look at old pictures of first cosplays and attempts....its like " O_O wow lol lame"

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:11:47 am »

haha, more like "^_^ Wow.....awesome!" lol

I'm almost done sorting through my pics, and then I will actually be able to start the process of printing these and maybe getting something going.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2009, 10:47:21 am »

I get paid on Saturday so I am hoping to get some more stuff to do a few more pages.

I got a bunch of pictures today. I must have sent about 30 or so into Wallgreens to be printed off. Now all I need is to get some more supplies to make more pages
