Stacy took a moment to show us some of the fun memorabilia she collected and how she quickly goes through it when preparing for a layout and how she decides what is most likely to spark a story. She also may include photos of some of the smaller unique landmarks, signs or products that you may discover while traveling. Carla, brought up a great point about saved receipts and how the thermal printing tends to fade over time. Stacy suggested scanning these things and making a longer lasting version of items like these (see note below!) Lorna shared that because of the Library of Memories system she was able to find some memorabilia of a trip she took to Minnesota, and was able to do so quite easily even with many of her things packed for a move. Ileana shared her very inspirational mini book she created, full of wonderful memorabilia from a trip she took to Argentina where she had been raised. Julie shared a travelers notebook she created while on a trip to Italy last year with her sister and nieces. While on her trip they took time each night to record the days events and when they returned printed pictures and added memorabilia. Stacy ended our time together by reminded us that sometimes we feel like we have to do these layouts all at once and that is not always the case. Even if you have pockets of time to work on different aspects of a project youβre working on progress is the key.
