True Love Can't Wait

Ever since I gave Shawn the I Love You tin with the mini scrapbook inside, I've been planning my V'day gift. After Christmas, I got this black 5x7 Kolo album for 30% off at Archiver's. I knew it's black pages would be perfect for color photos.

I wanted to keep it simple, yet special. So I went with a black, red, and white color scheme. I looked in my newly organized red drawer(thank you Stacy Julian for p.53). I found these red and white heart die cuts. I must've had these for years. Could go as far back as 1999 or 2000. Then I found some Making Memories jelly sayings....Love, Amore, etc. Perfect!

I had bought some new Making Memories love tags when I bought the book. Then at a different trip to A's I got these cool Making Memories vintage hip trinket pins. I can't resist anything vintage.

So cool to be able to put the old and new together. I've had the cover done for a week now. Tonight I just couldn't wait any longer. I had to put the rest together....well as much as I could. It's 90% done. I've got pictures of us together through the years. I want to write something about how much I love being with him or being together.

Now I just need to finish. Hopefully, I will be able to wait until V'day to give it to him.
