Originally, scrapbooking was a collection of stuff, not photos. Old scrapbooks held letters and mementos on big stiff pages (and smelled of moth balls). Moving forward doesn't mean you have to let go of all the mementos. Save the stuff. Create a pocket page and tuck in the stuff. Use the stuff as embellishments tying it on with colorful ribbon or tucking it into a clear pocket. If you can't save the stuff because it is too big or filled with acid (newspapers) then photograph the stuff or copy and reduce it. Kids artwork is a great example of this. Big chunky artwork full of paste and noodles that just can't be saved. Put it all on the refrigerator and have your child stand next to it for the photo. Do this every month or every season. Save the hand prints and little poems they wrote in their own writing.
On this page I have used the autograph pen (shaped like Tigger) as a memento tied to the Tigger page. I have also attached the autograph card to this page.
