| Postcard Ideas | |

| I recently found a scrapbook from my Mom that has postcards in | |
| it from our vacations in 1960-1962.... Of course there is | |
| scotchtape on the corners...... ::) | |
| Trying to come up with an idea to re-do this as those are my | |
| memories as well. I haven't counted them yet, but most are | |
| landscape and some (esp waterfalls) are portrait. Some have my | |
| handwriting on the back and Mom never mailed! I really want to | |
| see both sides. | |
| I don't remember this book, and not sure how I got it, unless it | |
| was in with stuff Dad sent to me after she died..... | |
| Ideas ????? | |

| I have a scrapbook that was my Grandmother's that has postcards | |
| from the late 1800's to the early 1900's in it and I'm wondering | |
| the same thing! Will be interesting to see what ideas you come | |
| up with! | |

| I recently did an album of football recruitment memorabilia and | |
| had lots of things that were 2 sided and important to see. I | |
| used a lot of small photo corners to hold things . The things | |
| in them can be removed and turned over. I also made a bunch of | |
| shallow pockets for things. The pockets were 1/4 to 1/2inch | |
| deep. They hold the papers and weren't overly obvious. | |
| You could also design your pages on transparency sheets so both | |
| sides of the postcards are visible. | |
| Another option would be to cut away the background paper so the | |
| writing on the back of the postcard is visible on the next page. | |
| It would take some serious planning though. | |
| Good luck. | |

| I use postcards a lot if I go places that do not allow me to | |
| take photos. I scan the backs of them if there is something | |
| there that I want to use and then print them off. | |
| Otherwise I have made a pocket with a frame that I can slide the | |
| postcard in and out of. I don't have a photo readily available | |
| of the technique with a postcard, but this map was a similar | |
| situation. The bright green "frame" is open at the top so I can | |
| slide the map in and out as I need it. | |

| Use the clear overlay sheets as your background page. | |
