At the last minute, I decided that I should put together a mini-album for the event, so I scanned some 35mm slides from their wedding day and put together a small book. It turned out beautifully. I used a BoBunny 6x6 chipboard binder and K and Co special occasion papers, and it was the perfect opportunity for me to use all sorts of odds and ends and work with some border punches I had purchased but not yet used. The flourish on the cover is from Technique Tuesday - I just covered it with versamark and a couple of coats of gold embossing powder.
I left several blank journalling areas to fill in the details of names and places.
I left the last page blank - we passed it around the restaurant, and those at the dinner signed their names and wrote in best wishes. I plan on putting a photo of the 50th anniversary dinner on the very last page, and because this album is a binder format, it will be easy to add more 6x6 pages for more anniversary pictures and such.

Happy Anniversary to your parents! That's indeed a milestone worthy of celebration. Your little book is lovely - I'm sure there were many smiles when they saw it. Good luck capturing the memories that go with each photo.
Hi Connie, what a fabulous album!! My parents are also celebrating their 50th this year, in July, & my sister & I are organizing a party for them. My sister is putting together a slide show & I've suggested to her that we use the photos from the slide show &/or the party to make one of those digital albums for them as a Christmas present.
All the best from that "other" Kohut scrapbooker! -- Lori (loribeth1961 from S!)
