scrapbook & cards today

fall 2012
the 3 i’s
Whether for posterity or sentimental reasons, we all do it—we
save ticket stubs, school artwork, maps, dried flowers, report
cards, programs and other treasured items. It is with the best of
intentions that we plan to “do something” with these nostalgic
riches, even though more times than not, they end up in a box on
the shelf.
Like photographs in a magnetic album, these memories do not
belong stowed in a box. Take a moment to remind yourself why
you saved the memorabilia in the first place and include them on
your scrapbook pages. They make great embellishments, tell a
story, and will rouse memories you’d long forgotten.

Sheri’s son is a little league baseball pitcher and has
amassed quite a collection of ribbons, medals and awards
over several years of playing ball. When Sheri began
scrapping a page about his 2011 all-star season, she
wanted to include something special on the page. Her
photos show a winning team proudly displaying their
championship trophy, but each player also received a
medal inscribed with the year and division they had won.
Sheri removed the ribbon and included the medal on her
page, attaching it to a handmade accordion pennant.
