Travel memories: CREATE YOUR SCRAPBOOK

How to Make a Travel Scrapbook?

It's easy to forget all the little details when on the road. And when you return home, it can be even harder to remember all the good times you had while traveling. That's why keeping a travel scrapbook is a great idea. Preserve memories from all your adventures so you can relive them whenever you want. Scrap booking is the perfect way to bring your travel memories to life, and an excellent way to embrace traveling from home!

I'm a firm believer that travel doesn't end when you come home. In fact, it's only the beginning. And by scrapbooking your travel memories, you can continue to bring the lessons and experiences you had in your vacations and exploring into your daily life.

Scrapbooking is such a fun way to bring your travels to life, and there's no right or wrong way to do it! You are free to customize and create whatever floats your boat. I tend to go a little overboard on the stickers, myself, but to each their own.

Lots of ways to keep your holiday memories

Now you can start writing. When writing a travel scrapbook, the most important thing to focus on is the story of your trip. If your trip was longer, try dividing the story into several chapters like a book. You can write about what you did at each place you went, where you went, what you ate, who you met, and any fun experiences along the way. Take notes as you go to make keeping a journal as easy as possible. 📝 Fill the pages with matching photos, 📸 souvenirs, and embellish with stickers or drawings. 🎨

Super simple scrapbooking

Don’t complicate things! Grab yourself a ring binder with plastic pockets and make like World of Wanderlust and create your scrapbook layouts on separate pieces of card or paper and slide into the protective pockets. Keep all your ticket stubs, photographs and postcards safe with this scrapbook design.

Decide what you want to include

Travel scrapbook can be a great tool to help plan your next trip or simply reminisce. You can create a travel journal scrapbook for a trip you've already taken, or a trip you're planning to take in the future. You can also use it to brainstorm and gather inspiration for your dream vacation. 🛩

What you add to your scrapbook is entirely up to you. You can get creative and create a separate journal for each holiday or just pick a few photos and record all your adventures in one journal.

Embellishments

Part of the fun of creating a scrapbook is finding fun nick-nacks to jazz up your pages with. For a personal touch, I like to include tickets, tags and receipts from a trip to add another dimension that just photos. However if you’re creating a travel scrapbook from a past trip that you don’t have any keepsakes from, there are so many stickers, gems and page inserts that you can buy online. Postcards are great for filling out a scrapbook, they often have incredible photos of famous landmarks and can be found so cheaply in most locations.

Quotes and Captions Elevate Your Scrapbook

Adding quotes to your travel scrapbook can help you capture the essence of the moment, as well as add meaning and depth to the pages of your photo book. Express feelings with relatable travel quotes and travel captions for your scrapbook with these quotes we’ve put together for you to be inspired by.

Gather your materials

Photo album - a good quality photo album is the basis for any good travel scrapbook. Don't use anything fragile that could get damaged if you decide to take the journal with you on your travels. We recommend using our album with thick pages that won't bleed through and sturdy cardboard covers that will keep your memories safe even when on the road. 📒

Pens and pencils - Recount your favorite experiences, funny stories, and anything else you want to remember 10 years from now. 📝

Photos - A picture is worth a thousand words. Complete your travel adventures with photos from each place you've visited. Print your photos in classic formats or if you use a smaller scrapbook, try our mini photos that will fit on each page. 📸

Photo mounting corners for attaching photos.

Any travel scrapbook stickers, printable, mementos, or tickets to complete the story.

Go extra!

Probably the most fun part of making a scrapbook, and the part where you can really show your artistic license and personality, is adding the extras. You can add labels to your photos, photo corners, stamps and extra pictures.

Design Bundles is a great place to find crafting materials. There are thousands of options here, perfect for any scrapbooking or craft project.

Additional Tip

Always make it a habit to take something from each place you visit. By doing so, you’ll have a collection from all over the globe. You can collect magnets, postcards, ticket stubs, and so on. This might be boring for some, but it’s something you can put in your scrapbook to help tell your story.

Scrapbooking is a brilliant way to preserve your stories and memories from your trip. It is also a very beneficial activity if you find that post travel depression sets in when you get back home.
