Q. As a child, my grandparents traveled regularly and brought back money for us kids from all sorts of countries. I would love to include them with their travel photos in the scrapbook but am not sure how. Any suggestions?
A. As a kid, we used Elmer’s to glue things into our scrapbooks or to anything else we wanted to keep. Now we know Elmer’s ruins a scrapbook page because it dries bulky, pages rip and things are easily lost. There are some products that are specifically advertised for this type of thing but I have another idea. Make a shaker box to put those momentoes in. If they are flat, like a feather you find on your walk, you can put it in a clear envelope and mount it with a frame covering the edges. With coins, I would use something like a slide mount, the negative part of a chipboard square, or actually make a shaker box with acetate and foam squares to give it the depth, and keep things where they belong. I will try to do a video about this in the coming weeks and actually show you how to do it.
