Anniversary Scrapbook Album

My boyfriend and I recently celebrated our one year dating anniversary.  For his gift, I decided to make him a scrapbook that chronicled our first year together.

I had a lot of fun making it, and it brought back great memories.

I've been giving my boyfriend a card for all of our even-numbered month anniversaries, and sneakily have been stealing back the cards to put in the scrapbook.  

Even though I  love scrapbooking, I thought it was a fitting gift since the symbol for the first year is paper.  This is the paper anniversary on steroids.

This was truly a labor of love!

Prom Shadowbox

My sister attended her senior prom last year.  See had set aside her corsage and invitation, and when my parents moved, it presented the perfect opportunity for me to finally do something with it.

The prom took place on the Detroit river, so I kept with the nautical theme and added anchors.  I think they are a super cute addition to this otherwise fancy .



- I don't have the information about the frame but it came from Michael's
- The silver shiny paper is from Michael's, as well
- The wooden anchors are from Michael's
- I painted the anchors with a wood paint pen, also from Michael's
