Anniversary/Valentine's Day Craft: 52 Reasons


As February progresses and Valentine's day approaches, you may find yourself looking for a romantic craft to create for your significant other. I personally made this craft for a three year anniversary, but it could easily be transformed for Valentine's day into "52 reasons why I love you", "52 reasons why I like you", or "52 reasons why I don't hate you". 

Supply list: 
- A deck of 52 cards (I recommend vintage cards by Ellusionist)
- Medium sized binder rings
- Photos, magazine cut outs, or drawings 
- White computer paper
- A hole puncher 
- Scissors 
- Glue

On one side of the card, put a reason why you have been dating or a reason why you love the person. On the back of the card to the left that faces that card with the number (as if you were holding your card deck open like a book), put a corresponding picture or drawing.
I typed out all the reasons on the computer in a small font and then cut each one out and glued them on.
Example:

For this page, I wrote "we have the best taste in desserts" on the right, then printed a picture of 4 of our desserts we always share on the left.

After you have cut and glue the pictures and messages on both sides of the cards, punch two holes in every card at the same distance (you can use a pencil and a ruler to do this accurately).  
Link the cards together using the binder rings to create a little flip book.

When you finish, you will have created a mini romantic scrap book out of a deck of cards that your significant other can keep FOREVER (or until they misplace it)! 

....Happy crafting romantic people!
