Scrapbooking Coach: March

March's Question: What on earth is ephemera and how do you say it?

March's Answer: The link HERE is google helping us pronounce and understand the general definition of the word, however for the specific scrapbooking definition, let me give you a little more detail...

Scrapbooking and ephemera go hand-in-hand. Adding ephemera you have saved from your event or trip helps tell the whole story on your layout. Remember that rock concert where you had the best time? Putting your tickets with the photos and journaling makes the memories come alive again. Using vacation maps and brochures brings a whole new level of information to your pages without the extra journaling or photos. Then there are the awards and ribbons that fit nicely onto your layouts to celebrate accomplishments and milestones. Whether it's keepsakes from your new born baby or a luggage tag from the trip of a lifetime, saving ephemera in your scrapbooks helps you reminisce about all those happy moments. So don't be afraid to save that old napkin, used map, or random ticket stub! Those are epherma at their finest and scrapbooking gold!
