Scrapbooks are a common method to store and organize photographs along with other keepsakes. It is not uncommon for women to produce a scrapbook for their boyfriends showcasing their relationship and also the time they have spent together. An intimate scrapbook is a great gift to give for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine's Day.

Ideas to Make a Romantic Scrapbook
Creating a scrapbook for men can be a difficult task sometimes. We girls are fond of tassels and ribbons and glitter, but simply imagine the look on your boyfriend's face should you gift him with a scrapbook that is pink and frilly and it has lace all over it! Aghast may be the least of the things he'll be. And that he might meekly accept it just to help you happy, but he'll have a big bell tolling in his head! But relax! Given several ideas that are safe to be used for males. They are tassel free and will still have the ability to melt his heart!
Pick a feeling
Picking an emotion to make a scrapbook shouldn't be difficult for you. But if you're struggling, here's some help. Think of a feeling that you both have often shared. It may be love, humor, passion, silliness or perhaps tackiness (yeah! you read that right)! Once you've picked a feeling, you can fill the scrapbook with quotes about this particular emotion. They could be love quotes or any other famous quotes from movies, books, magazines, websites Or perhaps some of the sweet nothings that you have said to each other! If you're choosing tacky or humor, you should use some funny one-liners that are certain to crack him up!
Special events
As a couple, there are certain to be some really special days or occasions that you have shared together. And I'm certain you've preserved some photographs of those special moments. It may be your first date, your first kiss, the first anniversary, your first moonlit walk, the first fight and so on. Remember as much as you can (I'm sure you already do!) and paste all of your pictures in the order they happened. If you don't have photographs of the 2 of you, you can use any pictures showing those incidents or days. The ultimate product will be a book depicting your whole journey as a couple. It is a great gift idea for your boyfriend!
Photobooth Pictures
While digital camera prints are convenient and cheap to have printed for your scrapbook, incorporating photo booth pictures to your pages will add a unique and artistic touch. Take several sheets of photo booth pictures together with your boyfriend to use in your scrapbook. Write a brief message on the bottom of each photo strip telling him the feelings you had when the photos were taken.
Photo Transfers
While gluing in pictures is easily the most common method of adding photos to some scrapbook layout, using photo transfers is really a more artistic way that will prove to add an antique effect to your pictures of both you and your boyfriend. To transfer a photo straight to the paper, print out a black and white photograph out of your computer. Use plain white paper to print the photo on. Lay the photo face-down on the page and operate a transfer marker across the entire back of the image. The result will be a faded and antique looking photo in your scrapbook page layout.
