Old-Fashioned yet Sweet

"Life is not how many breathes you take, but about the moments that take your breathe away." - from Hitch the Movie

Scrapbook is something you can give your partner as a gift, wherein you can preserve simple yet breath taking memories. I once did a scrapbook for my partner on our 1st Anniversary and he loved it! He even asked me to continue the scrapbook so we can reminisce our times together for the next years. 



As we enter the digital year, Scrapbooking seemed to be so old fashion. But the essence, though, and the memories it depicts is sweeter than any other gifts. 

Now, let me share you some Scrapbooking Tips:
  1. Flowers and leaves create dirty marks on your pages. So instead of including dried flowers or leaves, why don't you take a picture and put the picture of your first flower into your scrapbook. At least it won't mess your scrapbook as time goes by.
  2. Regular adhesives may leave dirty marks and destroy your photos. So always use acid-free and photo-safe adhesive, stickers, and decors to maintain the beauty of your hard work. 
  3. You may write, cut from magazines, or use computer to add captions and narration on your images. It would be fun if you would include the story behind the picture. 
  4. Be yourself! Enjoy what you are doing, do not think what others will say, just do what you want to do. ;)

I hope you enjoyed my versatile gift ideas! :)
