I Love this Man

What better way to show your husband (or anyone special) how much you love them, than by listing the reasons why? Creating a list and giving it to your special guy is a neat way to point out all those things about him that really make your heart skip a beat. Even better is to create the list as a scrapbook page that can be handed down to your children. Years from now, they will treasure the love demonstrated.

Materials:
*I used 12 x 12 size paper*
1 Sheet Dark Red Paper
1 Sheet Red Paper with words about Love
1 sheet burgandy cardstock
2 sheets white paper or cardstock
1 or 2 photos of your husband
red or pink chalk
1 (3-d) heart embellishment
paper trimmer
glue stick

1. The dark red paper will be your background page. Using your paper trimmer, cut a 3 inch strip and a 1 1/2 inch strip from the red love paper. Discard the 1 1/2 inch strip or save for a later project.

2. Glue the 8 1/2 x 12 inch paper to the left side of the dark red paper. Glue the 2 x 12 inch paper to the right side of the dark red paper.

3. On your computer, choose a font you like and create your title. Then create a list of 6 - 8 things you love about your husband. Print the title and list out on white paper. Leave room around each to cut out.

4. Mount your photo(s) on white paper. Trim close to the edge, leaving just a bit of white around the edges. Mount picture again on burgandy cardstock, again trimming close to the edges.

5. Repeat for the Title.

6. Arrange Title, photo(s), list, and heart embellishment on your Love paper until you are satisfied with layout. Glue each item down. I made the list on my layout uneven to give more character.

7. Use your red or pink chalk to highlight favorite words in the list.

8. Surprise your hubby with a big kiss and the scrapbook page. I bet you spot a tear in his eye!
