I need a creative idea. I want to make something for my wonderful husband of 19 yrs. I'd like to include the lyrics of 'our song', and a few photos, but want to do something original, not just mod podge the pictures and lyrics onto a canvas. Anyone?

Is he a coffee drinker? You could stencil the lyrics onto a coffee mug with a sharpie paint marker and then bake the mug so it stays.

Have you ever used Zazzle.com? You can customize everything from shirts and mugs to pillows and mousepads. They let you add an image and text to just about anything.

You could make a collage of your favorite pictures interspersed with the song's lyrics in between the spaces. For interest, do not line up the pictures. Or do the same with just one favorite picture. Even a group of pictures would look nice with one frame holding the lyrics of the song in a nice font. See HomeTalk for various arrangements of frames of the wall. Good luck. Post pictures.

LOL - I can't stop looking at these books - I just came across this video - which is just a 'quickie' - it takes just an afternoon or so - thought you might be interested :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-ZDdzqzKpo

Try a shadow box; with the lyrics as a background (try gently burning the edges, for an older feel) add photos with a Styrofoam backing for depth, add charms, trinkets, a key, etc. If he likes to read, plain wood bookends; varnish, then decoupage song lyrics, photos and an interest items like baseball cards, etc. An accordion album or mini scrapbook, add ticket stubs you saved or can print out. What about a gift basket, with a photo album, his favorite chocolates and a bottle of champagne.
