Anniversary Gift Album

Design an anniversary gift album to celebrate a wonderful couple. Guest Stacy Julian reveals her technique for creating an anniversary gift album.

This page holds a special letter or sentiment to the couple or from one spouse to the other.

Select a color scheme, then purchase cardstock and patterned papers in those colors. Select a theme or design motif that will be meaningful to the recipients, then purchase rubber stamps and inks to support both the colors and theme.

Cut all paper in to 6" x 6" pieces (Stacy used a 6" x 6" album with page protectors for her album).

Contact friends and relatives and request that they write notes to the couple to be opened on future anniversaries.

Obtain a photo of the couple for the title page.
