Ephemera is almost always paper-based and is often written or printed items that were expected to have short term popularity or usefulness. Ephemera is not normally considered something to collect, save, cherish or keep. But often times, we do keep and cherish ephemera items - especially vintage ones and we often put them in scrapbook pages. Now you're beginning to see why it's so hard to pin down a definition and explanation.You can find these items just by looking through your junk drawer and office supply cabinet at home or at work. Or you can visit a thrift store. Using ephemera on a scrapbook page, card or altered project adds a unique and creative flair.
