Why our love story book means more than a card

A store-bought card says something general. This says something only the two of you could: first impressions written in both your hands, the night you were sure, jokes that make sense to nobody else and the songs that soundtrack your relationship.

A start here page walks you through printing, writing, punching, tying and wrapping, so your home printer produces a finished present. Fill it in secretly and leave your partner's spaces blank for later, or work through one chapter each week together and keep it as a shared memento. The photo frames are sized for a standard 4 x 6 in print and for mini instant photos.
