Today being September 11th brings back a lot of memories.
I am interested to know if you have ever "scrapped" tragedy?
My personal feelings are that if we don't then we forget our immediate feelings about the event. Of course destruction such as the attacks on 9-11-01 will never be forgotten.
But do you include news accounts such as paper or pictures (not your own) in pages such as these?
Today's query is
to scrap tragedy or not...
Ehow.com has a great article on preserving newsprint

I use acid free card stock behind the article and then laminate the entire page.
Hello my fellow scrapper :) Like your blog! I have lots of 'memories' tradegies included, not sure if I will scrapbook them or keep them in binders
ReplyDeleteI still have a layout of the kids gathered around the flag pole in prayer after 9/11. I have a few pictures from the tornadoes in April - the tree that nearly crushed Christopher and the radio running on a car battery that Phillip set up for us. I don't have a lot of pictures just a few special moments for us. I guess my pages are more the bright spots.
