What kinds of “found items” can you add to your scrapbook layouts or collages?  Just about anything you can think of! Just remember to use the usual cautions when including non-archival materials close to original photographs.

Some suggestions for things to use in collage:

…fabric, ribbon, thread, wool and trims

 …tickets, receipts, letters, postcards, old paintings and drawings

 … tissue paper, candy wrappers, foil paper, maps, patterned paper, wallpaper, craft paper, marblized paper, newspapers, labels, envelopes

 … graphs, signage, postage, old books, calendar pages, theatre tickets, caligraphy, matchbook covers

 … foreign printed material, documents, engravings, magazines, money, games pieces
