After a special trip, there are
often items that hold sentimental value -- plane tickets, maps and
especially photographs. Before tossing these items in a storage box,
consider displaying them on a collage. You can even give your collage a
vintage look by using old photographs or retouching new photographs,
aging the paper in the collage and photocopying memorabilia. The project
is simple and a way to display the memories from your trip in one
place, all while creating your own work of art.
