Memory books (:


Hello people!!

So I have an amazing boyfriend that ive been dating for 2 years and we have tons of little things like tickets from our first movie that we saw together and tons of notes that we have given eachother. So one day i was going through the box of things that i had from him and i decided i wanted something i could look at all the time and show other people and keep our little note in good shape. so i decided i wated to kind of make a picture book but i wanted to personalize it and i wanted the cover to also represent us. so i have little things like music notes because we are both in show choir and virgo and cancer because im a virgo and he is a cancer. I also have JFK on the side because that is where we go to highschool. I filled it with school dance pictures, pictures of us, our notes and little things he has made me. I still have lots of room in it and so i continue to put things in it so once we get older i will have a book of memories from our relationship since it started.

The first thing you need to do to make one of these is to buy the necessary products, they are all pretty cheap.
  • Any size photograpgh book that you want.
  • Magazines
  • stickers
  • glue stick
  • glitter
  • and decorations you want (not 3D decorations)
  • Mod podge (you can get at any craft store)
First you cut out of the magzine any backgrounds, letters, anything that you want on your book to personalize it. Then glue it on the book where ever you want. I would do one side at a time. Once your done with that take a paitbrush and paint a layer of mod podge over what you glued down and let it sit and dry. Then do the othersides over laping things on the corners because you dont want random lines. You want it to look like a collage and relate to the pictures that you are going to put inside of it. If you want sparles on it, before you let it dry sprinkle the sparkles on it and then let it dry. Once it is dry put one more coat of mod podge over it (or as many needed for all the papers to stick down and not start to peel off) and let it sit over night until it is completely dry. Then fill the book with picture and any memories you want. you can always add more to it as you get older. Now all that left is to enjoy and share with others. (: (464)
