Checklist & Questions

Here are a few ideas on different types of memorabilia to include in the art. Anything that was special to the person or pet will be good to include. Archival safe see-through sleeves may be used for special documents or jewelry if you do not want items permanently fixed to the board. Original photos can be used in the art or copies made and the originals returned to you.
