It Must Be Love
Most of us have many opportunities to experience love in our lives – the love of a spouse, the love of a parent, the love of our children, the love of a pet, the love of a friend. Consider how these relationships have affected you, and how they have changed your perspective on life. Dig deep for words to describe the love you have experienced, and how it has played out in your life. Scrapbooking about your relationships with the people you love is important because they are an intimate look into your life. These are the people with whom you are the most honest, and share your most “true” self. Choose one person in your life (you can choose another later!), and think about that person as you answer these prompts:
- What do you admire about this person? How has this person struggled, and triumphed? How do you wish you could be more like this person? Include a photo of the person, and use a tag to describe each admirable trait, and why this person is important to you.
- What have you learned from this person? What didn’t you know before you spent time with this person? This could be a specific skill, like making pie crusts, or a life lesson, like working hard for your dreams. Because these are “lessons learned”, consider creating a sort of “grade card” of suitable subjects, and pass the person with flying colors!
- What quirky traits do you lovingly overlook? What do you love this person in spite of? Create a paper doll imitating an adorably irritating trait.
- What do you love about your partner? You could write this in paragraph form, or try making a Top Ten list. Consider taking a head-to-toe photo of the person, then use arrows to point out things you love about him or her.
- How does this person interact with other people in your life? How does s/he treat other people? You could easily create a pocket page of encouraging notes this person has written, or other examples of their caring nature.
- What is/are this person’s favorite saying(s)? Has anyone else picked them up? Create a layout comprised entirely of “speech bubbles” – no photos!
- What is your favorite memory with this person? Does it involve a trip or vacation? Your first Christmas together? The first time s/he said, “I love you”? Recreate that time with lots of descriptive words – how old were you? Where was the location? Who else was with you? How would someone else, an objective bystander, tell the story of this same memory? Choose one element of the story to recreate or imitate in the background. For instance, you could use the pattern in someone’s sweater to create a punchart border. Or let the location in the story dictate the choice between torn paper or a mosaic. You could also choose a diecut that brings to mind a part of your favorite memory.
When you scrapbook about someone you love, it’s not just about the events. What led you to love that person goes much deeper. Let your scrapbook pages reflect this journey, and how that journey has affected you and your life along the way. See tons of Love layouts in our It Must Be Love gallery!
