Memorobilia- The Bain of Any Scrapper's Existence

We all have ton's of it. We have trained our spouses and children to save it for us, to join us in our quest to save every ticket, playbill, and zoo map. The trifles, relics and memory triggers of the past that we save with intention to scrapbook it, and then we struggle to add it to the page. Or your child's artwork that you just don't want to toss. It  is too large, or the wrong color, or just plain too thick to add. For those who are ecclectic style scrappers it is simple, you just layer it into the design of the page and voila you have your shabby chic layout; but for those who like a cleaner look, it's tougher to include. Here are a few tricks I have used to include memorobilia.
Report cards- Hidden yet still included.I folded a piece of paper into three sections and stuck his report card inside the closed doors.

 

Xrays- and other documents-I stitched around the edges of this look alike file folder to hold the documents in place, but you can staple or use foam tape too!

Kids drawings-Sometimes you just gotta save them. But they are too large to put in the book - so shrink them down with your copier.... they make an adorable addition for your child to treasure!
