Page Ideas

• Title a dating album "Is He the One?". On each page put photos a former boy friend with the words "I think he's the one". At the bottom put a cut up photo of him with the words "No, he's not!" On the last page put a photo of your husband with the words "I finally found true love" or something similar.
• On the left side put small photos of former boyfriends, on the right a large photo of your husband. On the left page use the title "You have to kiss a lot of toads...". On the right page "to find your handsome prince".
• Make a pocket on your page that is shaped like a mailbox to put love notes or letter. Or make a pocket page with mailbox on the front if you have lots of notes. If you exchanged emails print them and include them as well.
• Use the title "Flowers From _____". Draw green stems coming from the bottom of the page. Put a ribbon a few inches from the bottom so it looks like they are tied in a bunch. Or cut a vase shape and put the stems coming out of the top of it. At the end of the stems put photos of flowers that your boyfriend gave you. Also use the cards that came with the flowers, dried flowers that have been laminated or flower die-cuts.
