Tutorial & GIVEAWAY: Mini "LOVE" Scrapbooks

**GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED**
Please check out our Facebook Fan Page to see who the WINNER is!! :)


Everyone LOVES Scrapbooks filled with pictures of their loved ones. It is so much fun to have them out on the living room table to share with friends and family that come to visit! The hardest thing is finding the time to put it all together and it can get kind of costly! This little beauty cost me LESS than a $1 to make!



Since I have learned how to do them I have made 18!!  I've given them away as Baby Shower gifts and had the color scheme match the babies room.  I've given them to all my BFF Diva friends to fill with pictures of them and their LOVE BUG.  I put doggy stickers on one and used different paper for a "In LOVING Memory" book, for a close friend of mine that lost her puppy. :(

...and of course, I am filling one with beautiful memories and pictures of JUST my hubby and I, whom I just so happen to absolutely LOVE and adore! This is the perfect gift for any occasion!  My favorite part about this book is that there are places for pictures as well as tabs you can pull out to write your most precious memories.








Click here to download your FREE tutorial!
The tutorial is full of bright pictures that walks you thru making your very own mini-LOVE Scrapbook step-by-step...so even the "crafty handicapped" (as I like to call those of us who need LOTS of instructions) can put this together with ease! 
Hope you enjoy!

  6. Hi ladies! I'm a huge fan of you guys, ever since my buddy told me to check you out for romantic ideas for my anniversary a few months ago. Your ideas got my creative juices flowing and my husband and i had an amazing anniversary this year. This blog has also helped me prepare for my hubby leaving to go to basic training with the army soon. I still don't know exactly how I'm gonna keep the love going with him gone for 6+ months, but I'm sure going to try and you guys will be a great help. This scrapbook would be perfect to send with him! #2 gave a shout out for you guys on my facebook! #3 I've had your button up on my blog for a while and LOVE telling people about you. Afterall, that's how I found you guys...word from a friend! Thanks for being so awesome!

  7. I am certainly a follower! A Dating Diva Addict more like it! I even have your button on my blog at http://speecefam.blogspot.com.
    My relationship has really changed for the better. We had a pretty good one before but now I am constantly finding ways to show my love. I started leaving secret notes for him. I put one in his work shirts. Well I guess I missed one and he told me he was totally bummed that one wasn't in there! Guess I'll have to get busy and leave some more notes for him!

  30. I'm a follower! How has our relationship changed since reading your blog? Hmmm...my husband and I have been married for 12 years and we "date" each other already. However, as we are planning our dates and in the midst of them, we often make comments like, "we really should come up with fun invites like the Divas do" or "we should take pictures like the Divas do". It's gotten our creative juices flowing! Thanks for being real.

  37. I'm a follower. These are so fun to make. Cute on you're giving away too.
    I've been able to try and do little things for my husband now to show him I love him. It's definitely harder after having a kid so you're inexpensive and simple ideas have been wonderful!

  38. I'm a follower now! I just found your blog so I haven't been able to do any of these ideas quite yet but since my husband is self employed his free time is few and far in between! Reading your blog has inspired me to make the little time we have together as amazing as it can be! And it's for sure given me a renewed passion to remind him more often of the passion I feel for him. :D Thanks for all the great ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  39. These are so cute! This blog has definitely sparked my creativity when it comes to my marriage and date night! Keep the ideas coming.

  40. I've been following for a while, and it's just nice to know that other people out there are fighting to keep the relationship alive with their spouse just like I am. I love reading it, and I've taken a few tips. It's definitely made life easier.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I LOVE this blog!!! It gives me such great ideas to use, which is a HUGE thing. My husband & I have been married just over a year, and I love being able to suprise him with the coupon book or other date night activities. When I got married, I sold all of my scrapbooking things because we moved in with his parents to help them, so I definitely miss doing all my fun crafts, and this is great for me to do some of that again. I am a follower, and have posted your button on my blog and commented and posted your link on facebook! Thanks for the great ideas!

  42. I love reading your blog! I'm a single chica but love to get good date ideas from you ladies! I shared the love on facebook and follow your adorable blog!

  43. Hi Ladies!
    I wanted to send you girls a comment today because I was at the grocery store tonight and I was standing in line between a married couple (around my age) who were just miserable. I instantly thought of your blog! It reminded me of how important it is to keep the spar going and remembering the little things. I've been a follower for awhile now and my hubby and I have two small kids. It's hard for us to have date nights but with your ideas we keep our marriage fun. Keep up the great work!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm a follower and since I've been reading your blog I try to bring fun back in to our relationship. We have had so many fun dates because of ideas we have gotten from you guys. Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  45. #1 I recently discovered your site. So I have not had the oppurtunity to implement some of your ideas into my daily life. However, it's given me the chance to stock up on plenty of the ideas for when my husband returns from his deployment in one short month!!!! I am so excited. We has discussed how things will be much different this time around, and how we will date at least once a week. SO you guys have given me so many ideas for us to have creative dates cheaply! Thank you so much, I love your blog!!

    #2. When I found your site the other I posted it on my facebook, but since I love you guys so much I did it again. http://www.facebook.com/addrienne

  46. I am a follower. I totally love your blog. My husband is in pharmacy school right now and almost done. But we don't live around family and babysitters that are trustworthy. So I am super excited to move home in a month so we can start dating more without the kids. I am excited to do some of your group dates with our long time friends. I love your fun ideas.

  47. I love this blog! My husband and I were kinda in a blah rut when I discovered you guys and so I started using some of your ideas. We had a way fun date night in, started a couples journal and I also gave my hubby the coupon book. Thanks for the great ideas that are bringing the spark back into my relationship! I love you guys! I also posted about my date for #2 on FB. I was so excited by this project that I actually made a scrapbook last night myself. I did a Halloween theme and it turned out super cute! I am gonna do another one for my son for church to keep him entertained! YOU GUYS ROCK!

  51. I am a public follower of your blog and on facebook. I love your site it encourages me and inspires me to be more romantic and to show my husband how much he means to me still after ten years of marriage. I have started leaving little notes in his lunch when I make it and just giving him hugs and kisses randomly like I did when we were dating it has helped a lot. I also bragged about you on facebook and I put your button on my blog, but it is private. Thank you for this giveaway I would love to win that great book and start documenting more of our fun dates.
