The Story Of Us - Homemade

I recently found a lovely gift idea online, but it was £20 (+ £4.90 delivery) and a fairly simple, but effective idea, so I decided to do my own at home for a much smaller cost.

The gift is called The Story Of Us and is done in a library card format detailing a timeline of key events with the giver and receiver, whether it's your boyfriend, sister, friend or other special person in your life. All you need is a frame (with a mount to give it a border if you wish), a piece of card and your timeline of special memories. It went with creamy colours to match our home decor.

Here is my result:


Obviously doing this yourself means you can play with the fonts of the events and also adjust the colours. Here is the original one I found if you were curious:


I would really recommend giving this a try - the finished result looks great, and I can't wait to give this to my partner :-) - a great gift idea for Valentine's Day, birthdays or holidays!
