Introduction: Romantic Scrapbook Idea (100 Reasons Why I Love You)

If you partner is into sickeningly sweet/cute romantic gestures then this thoughtful gift will surely make them swoon.   It is essentially a photo album/memory book with a romantic twist.  The theme of the book is 100 reasons why I love you.

Supplies
  • Photo album (I used this one)
  • Scissors, glue stick
  • Photos
  • 4 x 6 blank note cards
  • Stickers/clip art

Step 1: Make a List and Print Photos

First make a list of all the things that make you love your partner.  These can be big or small, inside jokes, memories, qualities, etc. Print out photos that you want to include in the album and then make sure to write love cards to go with them (ex. "I love relaxing days at the beach with you" followed by 3 photos of you guys at the beach).  I like to order my prints online through CVS photo because they always have coupons available.

I love....
- you because...
- how you...
- it when you...
- the way you...
- going to the ___ with you
- ___ing with you
- your....
- the fact that you...
- that we...
- etc., etc (get creative)

For examples of completed lists see here, here, here, here, here, or here.

Step 2: Create the Cards and Print Decorations

Then write all the reasons on individual cards.  Mine feature the number of the card in the left corner and "I love..." on the right.  Underneath that goes the reason.  I leave a blank space for the number and print those out separately so that I can rearrange the cards if I want to.  You can write these out by hand or type them on a computer (I used "Pages" on my mac)

If you are doing this on a computer you can print four 4x6 rectangles and cut them out, or adjust your settings and printer to print directly onto note cards.  I printed black and white clip art directly onto the cards so I wouldnt have to deal with cutting out and glueing as many pieces.

Step 3: Decorate and Wrap

How to make a high quality stamp out of your favorite logo or symbol. You will need the following materials: Speedball 6-Inch by 12-Inch Speedy-Carve Block Speedball Linoleum Cutter Assortment 1 which contains a straight bits & gouging bits 5 Minute Two-Part Epoxy Scrap wood for handle Polyurethane spray and finally an ink pad! Step 1: Select a favorite symbol or logo to use as a stamp Start by selecting a few black and white logos, symbols or other emblems that you would be interested in having a stamp of. It could even be some text. Just try to avoid an image with very thin lines as these can be difficult to carve, and can bend/collapse under the pressure of stamping down. Using an image editing program or even MS Word, create a black background and arrange them to appear side by side. Having the black background helps a lot when transferring images to rubber sheet. *Note*  There is no need to mirror/reverse anything as they will st

Home Made Cold Cream

oil I've always liked cold cream for washing my face because I have fussy skin and it's always worked better for me than anything else, but a few years ago, the regular drug store brands changed their formulas and some of my many unspecified contact allergies started flaring up. I tried to find a replacement, but everything that looked like it might work for me was really, really expensive, so I found some old cold cream recipes and started experimenting with making my own. After making a whole bunch of batches and trying different ingredients and techniques, I ended up with this basic recipe for simple, non-comedogenic cold cream made almost entirely out of inexpensive ingredients you can get at most decent sized grocery stores, at least in the US. The only thing I couldn't get at my grocery store is beeswax. Here are the ingredients you'll need: Oil . I use sunflower oil because it's non-comedogenic, it's cheap, and you can buy it i
