I need creative ideas for saving sympathy greeting cards?

I want to do something special with the sympathy cards we got when my brother passed away. We've got about 40 or 50. I am not really wanting to put them in a scrapbook. But if I can't come up with something else I guess that is what I will do.

I need creative ideas for saving sympathy greeting cards?
We used to display our Christmas cards by taking a large juice can and remove both ends. Wrap yarn or ribbon around the can, lengthwise until it is covered and then slipping the cards under a string all around the can. It can take a lot of cards and doen't take up a lot of space.


I love the idea from ukquilte of scanning the cards.
Reply:Apart from the previous excellent answer - scan them into your computer, make a folder and then burn dvd's for members of the family, so you can all 'share' the cards.
Reply:If you want to display them, get a poster frame (sold at Wal-mart), arrange and attach the cards with a dab of glue and hang.
Reply:The way I display cards in general is get a a long piece of ribbon that matches your room color and pin the cards on to the ribbon then hang it on the wall, and viola you have a functional beautiful wall hanging!
Reply:make a collage out of them and use as the backround of your favorite picture of your brother and frame it... you could make several and give to family as a rememberance
