Ephemera Storage


 Hi Lovelies!

I was so inspired by some crafters in the Tim Holtz Addicts Group looking at the way they stored their ephemera.

After I sorted them all in my sketchbook, I just had to give the cover some color or texture.

I wanted to keep it simple. But well, as usual I got carried away just a tad.

I won’t show all the pages, you know the designs of the ephemera, just the pages where I added the collage strips to the coordinating color on the opposite side.

I also added the original packing of the Christmas ephemera on the opposite side of each different year.

Thanks so much for looking. ♥
