The ABC's of our love anniversary gift:


Supplies & Description: This little cutie was also Pinterest-inspired and the original post can be found here. I purchased a little book of 24 6x6 inch square card-stock papers that had cute designs and patterns on each page. It was already hole-punched at the top center of each page, so that saved a lot of time. I purchased super skinny, beige satin ribbon from Michael's too, to tie the book together. I bought some scrapbooking stickers from Michael's too also to save time. If you have the time and want to save a little money, drawing everything by hand makes it that much more special and personal. I bought 3D letters also from Michael's to save tame, even though I ended up drawing my own letters too which was timely in itself. This completed craft set me back a mere $20 and I don't think I got anything on sale (sad day).

How to: I put my papers together in the order of pattern that I liked then I put the ribbon in the hole of each paper to make it a book and tied it off in a cute little bow. I then stuck my stickers on the front page and got it just how I wanted it. Next, I stuck all the letters on their pages and realized there are 26 letters in the alphabet, so with my cover page, 3 of the letters shared the page with another letter. Oh well! I think took a piece of paper and brainstormed what I wanted to say for each letter. Even though this did take some time and deep thought, it didn't take nearly long as I anticipated. Then I wrote each saying on each page and that's it! Easy and adorable. My boyfriend loved it.
