SQOTD - OCT.28th

Do you like to include memorabilia from special events on your pages? Or found objects, even? What's the strangest or funniest thing you've ever included on a scrapbook page?

The strangest thing I've ever included in my scrapbooks is a picture of my husband!

Seriously though..I think I've only used admittance tickets..I'd have to look back at my pages but I don't think there's anything too out of the ordinary.

I just LOVE your sense of humor Peggy!

I like to add my tickets to events.... napkins and business cards of places I go. I am not really sure i have a strangest thing, but I did scrap my sons hair from his first hair cut.

I like to include memorabilia but rarely do. I can never get it to look right on my layouts. The strangest thing I ever added was some metal pieces from hubby's work that my son helped him work on.

I do like to include memorabilia. I don't know what the strangest thing I've used would be, though. Hmmmm.....

I dont' think I have used to many strange things. I have use my kids first tooth, their first lock of hair and some tiny little rocks from the beach that kids found and thought were cool.

I don't use memorabilia very often though! I have a hard time making it look right on my pages.

I use memorabilia/ephemera whenever I can, sometimes misting it so it blends in better.

I didn't think I'd ever scrapped anything strange, then remembered I once did a page where I added real (uncooked) spaghetti. I had photos of a friend's daughter eating spaghetti that were just too cute; she'd borrowed someone's white tennis shoes that were a zillion sizes too big and was wearing those. I used foamcore for my page and cut an opening for the spaghetti, covering it with the box front - this was back when spaghetti boxes had cellophane windows in them. The title of my page is 'Twirl' - it still brings a smile to my face when I look at it.

I love using found objects on the pages: here are a few of the things I've used

money (canadian/mexican)
napkins
old jewelry
bobby pins
rubber bands
mesh from a bag of apples
labels from the thanksgiving turkey
bumper stickers
bandaid (a clean old)
cotton balls
coffee filter
cupcake liners
vinyl record
bubble wrap
kraft sticks
wallpaper
chop sticks
foil
suran wrap
food labels
birthday candles
vintage hankerchiefs
playing cards
denim pockets and hardware from dh's bib overalls

Here's what I did with the cotton ball

Here's one using a piece of cardboard from a box I found in my scraproom

I do use as much memorabilia as I can. I don't know about weird things I've used......I can't think of anything right now.

Peggy you're a hoot!! I can think of one really fun thing you've used on a page that isn't normally used for what you used it for!!!! Do you remember..........??????????????

Kathy you are so resourceful!! Love all your pages!
