I know everyone is different, but I'm just curious how much ephemera you all keep for your PL layouts? (ephemera, if you don't know what that is, is receipts, brochures, letters, etc from your everyday life) And, if you don't keep up doing your PL weekly layouts, how do you store them?
I keep all my ephemera in one of those 12 month file folders and then when I get to the month to work on the weekly layouts, I go through and decide if I need to put in the receipt from my library fine or the brochure from museum or whatever.
I was trying to put the ephemera in each week's layout but I got so behind it's easier to put it in the file folder to go through later.

I keep very little. Only what's really important. It adds up so quickly and so do the albums. After awhile I started really limiting that stuff.

I almost always keep movie ticket stubs, unless I lose them. And, if gas is really high or really low, I'll completely fill my tank and save that receipt - usually only once or twice a month. Other than that, I don't keep much else that goes in my PL albums. I do try to save pamphlets and such from outings to add to my traditional 12x12 layouts.

I don't keep much stuff from my daily life (I probably should include more), but I keep everything (ticket stubs, brochures, receipts, etc.) from our trips. I generally store all the ephemera in those gigantic ziplock bags.

Too much. I stuff it all in a drawer and go through it every once in a while. I've been terrible at hoarding things to put in smashbooks or project life, then not using them.

I do Project Life monthly. Since I am trying to keep it to only one album per year, I only keep what is really significant. Now for vacation albums, however, that is another story! I tend to keep every little brochure, receipt, etc. Then I weed them out as I make the pages. I am working on a PL album from our recent vacation to the Smoky Mountains and I have a huge stack of ephemera I brought back.

I don't keep receipts n stuff. Unless they are really memorable like from a Disney trip. Then I will work the brochure or entry cards or coasters into my pages.

When I first started PL I kept a lot. Now that I've been doing it for awhile, I don't keep as much. I'd like to remember to keep more stuff....I never know if I want to use it or not.

I don't keep very much. I do a half page per week so I don't have a lot of space anyway. I always keep movie stubs and this week I kept a sweet note dd left for me. I store mine in the page protectors. I have them in the binder and each week has a notecard with the week number and I periodically jot down things that happened that week so when I go through to print my pictures I fee,mover what happened when.

I rarely keep anything. I may take a picture of some important things to represent an event but not any physical item.

I keep everything from big trips and then cut it down to size for my PL trip albums (sometimes cutting one whole sheet like a map or something into 4 sections to fit in the 4 sections of each page protector). I also love to grab business cards from restaurants or other places I go with friends where I don't necessarily want/need to take a picture, but I do want to remember the fun night.

I save a lot from vacations, and go in phases where I keep real-life stuff (clothing tags, receipts, take-out menus, etc). I think all of that stuff will be very interesting to look at some day!

Very little - I like the focus to be on the photos. I keep just a few things (ticket stubs mostly)

After 1 year of doing PL as a daily photo approach in 2010 I went back to using the products to scrapbook events, holidays, etc. I don't keep much if really any of the daily stuff. |

I usually forget to use ephemera in my PL.

Some months it is very little and some months it is quite a bit. I keep tickets, brochures, business cards, and any other fun little bits that I might want to use. However, I rarely use it all. I use 8.5x11 page protectors in my PL album to slip memorabilia into until I get around to creating the layout. I tried storing it elsewhere, but tended to forget about it.

Probably only concert or event tickets. Since I don't do weekly or monthly pages, just event items are used.

I keep quite a bit, but I keep it right in a shallow box on my desk so that I don't forget about it. Then as I work with each new set of photos I can look in the box and see if I want anything. Some of it I don't use. I will admit that. But I like to hang on to it until I finish the layout just in case.  |

I keep almost everything. Though I still need to learn to organize it. It's all in a ziploc bag, higgly piggly.

Some the of smaller pieces of ephemera (movie tickets, business cards, etc.) I will try to incorporate in my PL. Other ephemera (menus, clothing brand tags, etc.) I will save for my SMASH book.
