i made a scrap book for my best friend when she was pregnant and i brought it to the shower...every page had stickers and a baby theme and i passed it around and had everyone write a note to the baby. After the shower was over there were tons of pages filled with notes. Her daughter is 4 now and says she still takes it out to see what people wrote.

Super cute, April. What kind of album did you use?

I recently made a accordian tag album for DH's valentines gift. We celebrated 10yrs last October. Our trip to WDW was our "gift" to each other, so the VD gift celebrates our 10 years.

I will try to scan and post it soon.

Not sure if this counts, but I made calendars for Christmas and gave them out as gifts to the grandparents. They were made digitally. They are all visible at: http://home.insightbb.com/~baity-scr...7calendar.html

Ok, here is DH's Valentines gift (he really liked it). I will probably post this in several entries due to the number of pictures.


Our 10th anniversary was in Oct 06. Our WDW trip was our gift to each other.


Supplies: accordian tag album with box-Oriental Trading, cardstock and pattern paper-assorted (most came from my stash, so I don't know makers), chipboard stickers-ABCs of Love by Cloud 9 Design and Love Blossoms shapes with glitter by Heidi Grace, sticker and frame (1997) by Kathy Davis, letter stickers-unknown, ribbon-Downtown Red collection by American Crafts, number stamps-Making Memories, stamps-With All My Heart by Hero Arts.

Here is the title page and 1996 and 1997.

Sorry about the scans--they are kind of blurry because the tag book it chipboard and kind of thick.

1998, 1999, 2000 & 2001

This is kind of depressing--as soon as our DS was born I couldn't find any pictures of just the two of us. All the pictures were either the three of us, DS and me or DS and DH (but mostly just DS ).

2002-2005

Urgh! The computer isn't letting me load my last couple of pictures...and Lost is on in 5 minutes.

Will try to finish later.
