happy anniversary

My husband and I celebrated 12 years of friendship and love this month. And, instead of making a card for my husband, I created this little mini book. I know, you're shocked, right? You would never guess that Monika would make a mini-album would you? Ha...I {heart} mini's.

The Original Alphabet of our Love

Each letter of the alphabet in this charming and colorful mini journal is typed in a different font and different color. I used my own handwriting for the explanation of what each letter of the alphabet stood for in this gift to my husband, I felt that it added a personal touch to a very heartfelt gift. 

Don't like your own handwriting? Other options would be to use your alphabet stamps or letter stickers. You could even type it out, print it and trim it in word strips and add it to your page.

  1. What a super sweet idea! I'm sure your husband loved it because you put your heart, soul and most of all your love into making this just for him! I'm always looking for ideas for our anniversary, this looks like one I'll have to borrow.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for the great idea, it's perfect for this Valentine's day. It gives me the excuse to be crafty, and also helps with not spending a lot of money this year.

  14. I LOVE this! I've been creating books based on the alphabet for the past four years so this is right up my alley! I use photographs to go with each of the 26 words that I choose for what I call an Alphabitty Moment book.(http://campgroundcubs.blogspot.com/2011/04/what-is-alphabitty-moment.html) - I'm in the process of making a book for my daughter's first year instead of doing a baby book, but it never crossed my mind to make one for my husband - thanks for the inspiration!

  17. Hey Monika! I love the idea and I'm trying to make one similar for my boyfriend. What size paper did you use?

    ReplyDelete
  18. You could probably just use any size index cards and that would work fine. Have fun!
