I want to save some receipts in a scrap-booky way?

Question

i like saving receipts because its fun to look at them later on and remember a whole day [even if theres only one item on the receipt]. so what is the best way that i could somehow save these without just stapling them to 8x11 peices of printer paper [too thick and staples are sharp] and binding the whole mess into a book?

ive already found a DIY hardcover book tutorial i want to use.

but the receipts are a little delicate as they fade quickly with handling so whats the best way to preserve them and keep them together with a minimal thickness to the book i'm going to make?

Answer 1

I have trouble imagining saving receipts for fun, since I have to save them for tax purposes and find it a pain in the neck. I scotch-tape them to 3-ring paper and put them in a binder. If you want the whole thing to look pretty, decorate a 3-ring binder, use coloured paper(you can buy a punch which will put the 3 holes in any paper), and use a glue stick to stick the receipts onto the paper. They fade mostly from being exposed to light.

Answer 2

I stick them on a paper then take copy which doesn't fade OR scan them,

Answer 3

buy a photoalbum with the pull up plastic pages that stick back down after you insert the photo. they are cheap at wal mart or even a drug store. you can save multiple reciepts on one page, or even add a photo next to it to enchance the memory of that day. many of the newer books have the UV protective in the plastic, and are on acid-free photo paper so the reciept paper stays untouched and readable for years to come.
