Creative ways to save and share your family history.
Bulking Up
Family photos are flat and easy to scrap-book. But how do we preserve the pin Great-aunt Mary always wore in her Sunday hat? Uncle Eddie never went anywhere without his good-luck penny. Cousin Gertrude was famous for the embroidered handkerchiefs she gave as gifts. Sometimes, we need to include bulky mementos to tell the whole story. Here are some products that can help you scrapbook them safely:
• If you've ever had trouble sliding a bulky scrapbook page into a page protector, you probably need a Sheet Horn. This tool holds the protector open so you can insert your finished page without damage to die cuts, photos and other embellishments. Sheet Horns come in 8½x11- and 12x12-inch sizes. They retail for $4.98 and $7.95. (888) 860-9120, <www.c-lineproducts.com>
