Ideas for a love scrapbook layout

It's interesting:
"Extended anecdotes at a wedding are like a porn star's professional pride and joy; long, hard and difficult to swallow. There are, of course, exceptions; tales so ..."

It is challenging to find the right gift for your significant other. Instead of purchasing your loved one a box of chocolates or perfume, consider creating a love scrapbook, which will make the ideal personal gift. Continue to add moments and milestones to your scrapbook as time progresses. Together, you can look back and reminisce about the past as you create more memories together. A scrapbook does not have to contain pictures- it can carry other memorable items and documents.

1. Dating Scrapbook

   • Serious couples may find this idea beneficial. Use either a shoe box or a traditional accordion album for creating this layout. Collect items that hold onto the memories of your first date, your first kiss and other memorable beginnings. For instance, include movie stubs for all the times you went to the movies together. If your first date took place at a restaurant, include the napkin from that restaurant. Put in a sea shell from that island getaway you had together. Include love letters, dried flowers, cards and photos. Become creative when documenting your firsts. Use items that stand out in your memory and in the scrapbook. A relationship can get comfortable over time, and this scrapbook can help put the spark back into it.

   ABC Scrapbook

   • If you do not have any ideas for creating a love scrapbook, or if you need more guidance consider creating an ABC scrapbook. Choose a topic from each letter of the alphabet and create a page for that topic. You can include nicknames, memories, romantic moments or phrases. For example, use the letter "L" to represent your love for each other, or memories from the first time you said "I love you" to each other. Include items and photos that refer to the words or phrases on your page. An actual scrapbook, rather than a box, would work for this project.

   Scrapbook Journal

   • Writing in your scrapbook creates a personal touch. Add more than just photos and items. Fill the pages with stories about how you first met, your first date and how you feel about each other. Take turns writing each other's thoughts into the scrapbook. Write a few words, a few sentences or several paragraphs. Make it more intimate by writing love letters to each other in your scrapbook. Also, feel free to include lyrics, poems and quotes that relate to your relationship. Use topics such as "A History of Us" or "Ten Things I Love About You". For extra creativity think of a list of questions to ask each other such as favorite foods, future goals, traditions, pet peeves and topics you may agree or disagree on. This can help you learn more about each other while recreating that spark.
