Ephemera is your friend

The madcap for you is to add ephemera to your pages to help tell
your story.. Ephemera can be tickets, invoices, memos,
brochures, etc............ stuff we used to keep way back in the
day along with our memories. If you're worried about the effect
it will have on your page not being acid or lingin free I
suggest you keep it away from your photos and it'll be fun.
HOWEVER, after mom passed away I found a scrapbook SHE DID when
she graduated in 1952? and of course she did every ALL WRONG
according to today's standards and the book was totally pristine
- so I'm not buying into the whole terror of doing everything
just write.
However, I digress as always. LOL! I had this memo/invoice
laying around and it had Lehigh Valley RR on it - where I'm from
and decided to use it with some steam engine photos mom took
back in the day when they were retiring them from service. I
also didn't want to cover up all the goodness - so its kinda
awkward but I love the connection.

Dude. I've been working on my Disney Magic cruise album all
week (i just realized it's friday and literally this has been a
week long thing??)
I've got your challenge - and raise you a whole album ;)
The cover is made from the cardboard envelope that an 8x10 photo
came from (from the cruise) - reinforced with chipboard for
stability.
I kind of challenged myself to all ephemera on this one LOL
