The book begins with how to de-acidify items or otherwise place them in protective enclosures so that they can safely be used on scrapbook pages. There are chapters on subjects such as how to use memorabilia for embellishments(like buttons, coins, clothing tags) and collecting and using memorabilia for theme albums(like the newborn's hat in a baby album). The book has some very helpful ideas on how to showcase hobbies and collections on scrapbook pages. It has good hints on what types of adhesives are best(like using specific adhesives to adhere collector's cards to pages, or as an alternative, stitching them). There are also helpful discussions about using archival safe foam core in various layouts using memorabilia. The topic of using memorabilia in scrapbook layouts has been addressed briefly in some other books on scrapbooking, and also in scrapbook magazines, but it is nice to have a book in my library that focuses solely on the topic of what kind of memorabilia can be used, and how to use it. I am sure that I will refer to this book often.

There are several great ideas in the book. I am glad I purchased this idea book.
