I want to make scrabook for my bf, for our anniversary being. I found very old and little destroyed book and i was glueing few sites( now every site is thicker). But i have any idea to decorate this:( I was thinking , that i would show (in this album ) time for our first date to now. I want give there funny calendar with date of our first meeting, ourbirthday or other important days. I want also give maps , where i will tag places where we lived , where we were meeting.... It my first scrap, so i dont know how i can start;/ I have to add, that i must do it cheap. I havent enough money for buying for example special papers, scicsiors or stickers:( thanks for help:)

There are site on line that have free samples from kids stuff to wedding to camping you get it.. Now you have to visit them and wait about 6 weeks to get them, but it is worth it. Another Idea that I do is just use things around your house your parents and friends house, x mas paper birthday paper etc. for the back ground too then real leave and flower, just use nail polish over them if you do not have a two dollar can of shalack (did not spell right I know) but you get the pic. OH and also CLOTHES the ones you don't need or they are on the to be that way and just cut them up and use them!

What I did was I kept different things from our dates like movie stubs, programs from things we seen, a rock and leaf when we went camping, fabric from when he taught me how to sew and different things. I used the fabric almost like a background paper for those pictures. I used the movie stubs as like a border for some pictures and things. You can get some of those things cheap, like a set of plain colored paper at walmart for 5 bucks or so and you can spice it up yourself with pictures and other momentos.

Its such a beautiful idea. Well He is surely going to love it and will love you even more after that. You know you can get the newspaper easily. Right? Ok so if you can cut nice shapes then you can use the good colourful pages of news paper as borders or frames. trust me it will look nice. But try it yourself before taking the final decision. Make it look funny. So that you both can laugh at it together. Good luck.
