As I've said previously, scrapbooks today are largely focused on photos, but I like to include all kinds of things as the center of my scrapbook page. Sometimes we just have a great time somewhere and I want to commemorate it. I don't have a photo, or I don't have a photo that would lend itself to the day. That's when I use other things that will help me remember the time we spent.
A good example of this is when we attended a local event not too long ago. The event was a "gallery night" where to go from gallery to gallery, look at the beautiful artwork and crafts, sip wine, and browse the quaint shops. It's a great way to get ideas for your own artwork or paper crafts.
Throughout the night we collected postcards, programs, and calling cards from the various places we shopped and the artists we favored. Afterwards, I took the pieces and assembled them into a scrapbook page.
Now whenever we look at this page, we're immediately drawn back to that day and the great time we had.
