My bf bought me tickets to see my fave band and the gig is soon. So I thought I'd make a scrapbook and give it to him after the gig as a thankyou present.
I like the idea of having solid photographs rather than all our memories stored on digital cameras/phones etc.
We've been together 6 mnths and I bought a photo album. But what else aside from photos shall I put in there to make it look cute?

Of course, photos are the obvious place to start. I would think that another good thing to do would put the ticket stubs from this particular concert and any other places or events you attended together in the book as well. '
If you have any nicknames you call each other or phrases you use together maybe you could type them out in a cute font and on nice paper and cut them out to put into the book too. It would also be a nice touch to write a little note at both the beginning and the end of the book (if it's not one that will be something ongoing) telling him how special you think he is.
If you really want to go all out, maybe you can include a few little objects here and there that have special meaning for you as a couple. For example, if your first date was at a Chinese restaurant, maybe you can get a fortune cookie from that place and keep the fortune from it in the scrap book.

If you go to a craft supply shop, there should be a scrap booking section where you can buy buy all sorts of buy stickers and who knows what else for photo or scrap books. Choose stickers that represent things you both have in common, or favorite sports and hobbies, favorite colors. Just get creative, if you both like playing monopoly, place a monopoly dollar inside the album, If Christmas is both your favorite holiday, cut a section of leftover Christmas wrap into a square with strands of curling ribbon laid flat. If You both love snow, cut some paper snowflakes to put in there. Pressed flowers from a bouquet he gave you, pressed autumn leaves. I don't do scrap booking myself so I have no idea whats really available in stores. Hopefully this helps some. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
