question about travel souvenirs

Aug 31, 2006 9 Replies

I'm starting to get serious about my scrapbooking. Last year I made a scrapbook of a trip to Seattle, with a sci-fi theme.



This year I'll be making a scrapbook of my trip to Philly, with a Halloween theme.



My question is, what do you do with brochures? I already have one of the hotel where I am staying at. Do you cut out certain images from the brochure and put them into your layouts, rather than just sticking the whole brochure onto a sheet?



TIA, ~Melanie



I have taken some of them and used as part of background, cut parts of them out and put them in a separate holder.

JUST remember, if you use some as a background and you put a picture on it, make sure you MAT the picture so no part of the picture touches what more than likely is not acid free paper!!

Hope this helps and wish I had time to share some of my just completed pages using brochures, maps and other things!!

I make a pocket on the page and save the brochures and such in that.

I put them in pockets. They take up less room you can see them front and back as they are removable and you don't destroy your one and only copy of a treasure.

If its one I want to keep intact, and pull out later-like the maps we had at DisneyWorld, I used extra large 3M photo corners. They are perfect for this sort of thing.

If its not such a big deal, like the daily events listings we got at Disney, I cut them up and added them as background on my pages. Make sure to spray them though-just because its a brochure doesn't guarantee they are acid free. Kathy

Good question Melanie! I also take momento's from where ever we go, like even match books and afterwards I never know how to incoporate them on the LO.
