My husband and I have started a bi-weekly date night, during which he invariably pulls out his Blackberry and snaps a shot of us. I thought it would be fun to put together a mini book to document all our dates. I created four templates, each with a different marriage quote at the bottom. (My favourite is "I have gaps, you have gaps. We fill each others' gaps." from the movie Rocky.)

Since every date is different, I picked out a bunch of different papers from my scrap pile to use as the background for each page. (Boy, was THAT satisfying to clear 20 pieces out of my scrap drawer!) A quick title, a few binder rings and I'm done!






A few notes:
- The photo size is really small, but for a Blackberry photo is was big enough for me. If you think you will have nicer shots, just put a 4X6 on the facing page, and perhaps use the 2.5X2.5 spot for some ephemera. This could be the business card of the restaurant, movie tickets, or receipts.( I think I'm going to put an envelope on the back page for my ephemera.) You could also use that space for an embellishment or punch.
- This photo is pretty crappy quality, right? Do I care? No! Our two big heads are in the picture, and that's all that matters. Our my kids aren't going to care 20 years ago about the quality of the photo. They'll just want to see Mom and Dad on a date.
-One more thing I plan to attach is a list of ideas for future dates. That way whenever we're told about a good restaurant, or a good show, we can add it to the list.
