Dating Anniversary Scrapbook

This is a great gift for a boyfriend or girlfriend, especially for a first dating anniversary. A memory scrapbook makes a great sentimental keepsake to mark an important milestone in your relationship.

Pick out a blank scrapbook or photo album with a pretty cover, or make a scrapbook.

Supplies

Directions

Album- The best type will allow you to add or remove pages. That way, you can add more pages if need be, or take out blank pages you don't use.
Acid-free pages- Choose paper that compliments your theme and color-scheme.
Photo corners
Glue
Die-cuts, stickers, and embellishments
Regular scissors and craft scissors that cut different style edges
Ruler
Pens and Markers

Items to Include:

love notes, love quotes, love poems, greeting cards, pictures, matchbook covers, bills, movie tickets, napkins, restaurant cards, song lyrics, etc.

Lay out all of your supplies on a large table. Start with the first page and work your way through the book. Arrange all your pages before gluing anything down.

Don't decorate the front cover until you have finished all the pages inside, because you'll need to have your book open to work on the pages inside and the cover will get messed up.

Tips:

Allow any glued items to dry completely before you place them on a page in the album.
Write as neat as possible, but do not stress about sloppy handwriting. All that matters is that the messages are personal and legible.
If any of your pictures are not digital then be sure to make copies of the photos that you include in your scrapbook. That way, you will still have a copy.

First impression. What you thought about your boyfriend/girlfriend? Was it love at first sight or an awkward first date?
