I’ve been going through some older ephemera lately and finding some new ways to get it into my scrapbooks. My Project Life album is primarily where I keep ephemera now — unless it’s related to a trip or some specific event that I’m scrapbooking separately — but I still have a big stack of items that I want to get into my scrapbook eventually.
This weekend I tackled some old movie tickets. And I saved a lot of movie tickets. I still have my ticket from when I saw The Goonies and The Karate Kid movies in the 80′s. That’s kind of cool, right?
For the tickets I had left (I have documented many other movies in travel albums and on other layouts) I wanted to keep them all together in one place. I went online and found the movie poster for each movie and printed them on photo paper at home.
My albums are organized into categories so these pages will go into my Things album. Since I don’t keep my albums in chronological order, I’ll just pick a place and add them in.
I like having pages in all different sizes, so these 8.5×11 pages will add some variety. I believe I found these page protectors at Staples or some other office supply store. They were intended for photo slides but suited this purpose perfectly.
What’s your favorite way to document ephemera, other than on a scrapbook layout?

That is so cool! Love the pairing of ticket with movie poster!
what a fun way to keep all of these memories!!
Super cute way to keep up with those little stubs!
I love how you paired up the movie tickets with the movie posters! Such a cool idea, Tammy!
This is really cool! All my old movie tickets have faded. Love how you added the movie posters. x
Love this! I printed itty bitty movie posters for a layout once and it’s such a fun idea! I vary on whether I save movie tickets. It’s great to see your collection together!
Wow that is so super cool. I almost never actually go to the movies. My husband travels so much, he often sees them on the plane and doesn’t want to see them again…so I rely on “on-demand” and “netfli”
I was a big movie goer in high school and college but not so much now. Netflix is just too convenient!
Cool idea thanks for sharing.
Oh that is so cool!!! I never keep mine actually…maybe I should have.
This is awesome, love the old movie tickets
What a great idea! I was recently thinking how my daughter will someday find it funny to see how much we paid to go to the movies and what we saw…
It is super cool to see how the prices have changed over time. I also love that it’s a record of where you were when you saw that movie.
this is so fabulous!!! I love the visual of all of the tickets and movie pictures together in the grid! What a great idea
This looks great! I love the ticket stubs next to the pics of the movies. So smart Tammy!! Really, $3 for a movie, was that for real? I can’t even remember that far back. haha!
Must have been the matinee price – some of those kid movies I went to when I was babysitting and trying to keep kids entertained. But in Spokane — where I grew up — there’s a theatre called the Garland, It showed second run $1 movies. It was right near my high school so I went with friends all the time. Cheapest entertainment around!
Oh My Goodness, this is awesome.
I need to do this and share it with my girls.
How cool that you have your movie tickets from the 80′s….love that.
I’ve always kept stuff like this. Weird, I suppose, but not in a bad way. Everything is organized and eventually, I find a cool way — like this — to document it!
Very, very cool!
Now if I could just find my tickets for Lost Boys and Dirty Dancing.
Still can’t find them!!
I really wanted to put them on that page I did.
I think I am more upset though about losing my U2 Joshua Tree concert stub than anything.
What a fun way to preserve your ephemera! I toss mine in a basket and at the end of the year update my ephemera album. Which I have yet to do for 2012……
Love this idea!
I love going to movies the only thing I hate is the way the new tickets are printed. They seem to fade after a while compared to the old tickets. I love the price difference.
Dare I admit this is my first exposure to Rock Candy Glitter? Great projects, you really showcased the versatility of the stuff!
