For the holidays I didn’t know what to get for my man because he buys anything he wants or needs already. It’s also close to our 1-year anniversary so I decided to hand make something special. I kept a piece of paper on me for a few days and wrote down 52 reasons I love him. Using a deck of playing cards I created a little book of 52 Reasons I Love You.

You will need scrapbook stickers and whatever else you want to decorate with, sand paper, glue, a hole puncher, 2 notebook rings, and of course a deck of cards (I used this antique style deck).

Because the cards are glossy you have to sand them first! That will prevent your paper and stickers from coming off later. I glued small pieces of paper onto the cards then cut my stickers and decorated them. After that I wrote 1 reason on each. Then I punched holes in every one (I picked a spot in the design on the back and punched that same spot on each card). This is what my final product came out like!

I was the lucky one though because in return I got this beautiful promise ring!
