Maria,

My husband and I have been married 44 years and I still have every wedding card and RSVP card. I also kept all of my daughter's and son's cards she received from relatives (most deceased) for special occasions. I also found a boxful of cards and drawings my mom had when the grandkids and great grandkids were little.

I took the cards my daughter received and made a junk journal out of them. It also include memorabilia, like tickets from the first Michael Jackson concert she attended. My grandkids drew all the time and I kept those drawings, carefully folding them into another journal. The oldest is now 17 and on his 18th birthday (coincidentally, he's quite the artist). I plan on giving him all his drawings in this junk journal. Some drawings disintegrated, so I took a photo and discarded the original. I have several different photos of him doing his drawings.

My wedding cards have been made into a journal with a photo of the person who gave them to us. I plan to do the same with my son's and daughter's as soon as I figure out which birthday photo goes with the card. It makes a great journal of memories and a very special gift! (There are many DIY junk journals available on Youtube)

Just sharing an idea for your crafty readers. It also gets rid of paper clutter in a fun way!
