We all have some great items around the house that can be used to create a very unique look to your pages. Below are some of the items I have used include real crayons/pencils or kids or school pages, real birthday candels etc...
A have one page I did for a Vegas trip where I used the hotel keys that had the hotel name photos of Carrot Top. On this page I also used a cheap $2 magnet I purchased (photo not inserted yet) at a cheap souvenir shops to frame the photo and a few cards from a cheap deck I purchased at the Dollar Store along with an extra chip I came home with.
Another free embellishment that I use often is beer bottle caps. I flatten the ends by hammering them down or bending the edges with pliers so they can be easily glued on. See below where I used a Corona lid on my trip to Cabo San Lucas. We stayed at this great all inclusive hotel and the only option for beer was Corona…. so being that it was free, it was all we drank all weekend. So I wanted to include that memory on my page. I also used an extra peso I brought home. I also saved some money from my trips to Germany and Holland. Layouts coming soon....
