Answer 1

You can make a "gluebook" (Google that for some examples).  It's basically just making a journal out of clippings, etc.  Some people get pretty creative with gluebooks.  

Another thing you might want to consider is making artist trading cards (ATCs).  There are plenty of forums on line where other artists swap and/or trade their cards.  The cards must be 2.5 x 3.5 in.  to qualify as an ATC.  There are other forms of mail art out there as well.

Answer 2

A project that I did with a teen class was everyone brought in a bunch of pictures and we made a collage of them on a posterboard that was 16" x 16".  Them we took wood glue and glued the collage to a piece of particle board that was 18" x 18".  Make sure you center the collage so that you have a 2" gap all the way around the board.

Then we had pieces of clear plexiglass cut ( you can have this done at Home Depot ) that were 18" x 18" and glued the plexiglass to the particleboard.  Put the glue all the way around the board on the 2" gap.

Let it dry overnight - and the girls used it as a writing board or reading board when they were in bed etc..

Answer 3

I remember that I made a collage waste basket for my bed-

room out of an empty Lays potato chip canister.  Or maybe

you might want to start a scrapbook.  Good-luck.
