Answer 1

You can put your favorite places to go, your favorite things to do,  like the previous poster mentioned, the things you love about him, etc.

You can put what made you fall in love with him, you can write about how you two met, how he asked you out, these are the things you're going to want to remember.

You don't have to have pictures on every page.  There's NO wrong or right way to scrapbook, as long as YOU are happy with the book, that's all the matters!  Journaling, which is the writing is one of the most important things about scrapbooking, because you're going to want to remember the who, what, where, when, and why, but also, and more importantly, the FEELINGS and emotions!  The things that really matter!

You're going to want to remember how you felt when you first saw him, write about how you first saw him, when you first met, and what happened from there, when he asked you out, and about your first date, those are things you're going to want to remember, and if you do marry and have kids, these are the things they're going to want to know and LOVE to read!  

You can also put in a facts page, like one column is about him, and one about you, for instance

where he grew up              where grew up

His high school                  your high school

His Major in college           Your major

Sports he played                sports

Clubs he was in                  clubs you were in

Favorite food                     favorite food

Favorite color                     favorite color

Pets                                     Pets

You know what I mean, whatever you want to compare in things that are different and similar.  You can make a whole list to show these which will be fun to look back on.

You can also do a  He said, She Said page, which is your side of the story and his side of the story, you can have him write out about how you two met and how he asked you out and about your first date, and then you write out how you met, and how he asked you out, etc.  It would be very interesting to see your two versions and how you both tell the same story, there usually are differences, but it would be awesome to have his way of telling it too in your book!  

You can also do a He said she said for anything, like different ways you two say things, if you have different words for things,  or different ways of saying things, you can do that.

You can also make a layout of your pet names for each other if you have any.

There are TONS of different types of stickers in the crafts store.  There's a company called EK Success and they make a line called Jolee's boutique, both AC Moore and Michael's carry them, they are 3D stickers in EVERYTHING you can imagine from foods, to doctors, to school, you name, there's a sticker for it, and you can use them to decorate your pages with.  They have stickers of pizzas, donuts, costumes, even x-rays, and dr. tools, and college things, you'd be surprised to see what you can find in a sticker these days!  Go there and check it out, there's even salt and pepper shakers filled with glitter! LOL  There's everything!  You can go there and check them and find things to accent your pages with, so even if there's no pictures, you still have stickers and things on your pages.  Doodling is also VERY big right now in scrapbooking so even doodling on your pages to dress them up is very hot!

You can also do pictures of where you stayed in college, pictures of your dorms, etc.  Pictures of his hometown, his family, etc.  I'm sure the longer you're together, the more you're going to have to fill your album with and I'm sure you'll have more than one album!

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a fun time making your album.  Once you get going, you'll get on such a roll, you'll just keep going and going.  I hope you have fun with it!  Congratulations to you and your boyfriend on your graduations and your one year anniversary!!
