How to Make a Travel Scrapbook

Posted on Published: July 10, 2021  - Last updated: May 16, 2023

If you don’t like to write, draw or paint you might think that my guide to how to make a travel journal won’t work for you, but without those skills, you can still create an amazing record of your travel memories by creating a travel scrapbook. In this post, I share my best tips for making a simple, easy-to-make travel scrapbook that uses photos and other materials to create a scrapbook you’ll return to again and again to remember your trip vividly.

Making a Travel Scrapbook

A written record paired with handmade illustrations is an amazing travel record- but not the only way to create an artistic/tactile memory of your trip. One way to make a travel journal if you don’t want to draw, sketch, or paint is to make an art journal scrapbook of your trip. This scrapbook can use what’s called “ephemera” to create an artistic travel journal effect without requiring artistic skills.

Ephemera is a word that refers to “collectible memorabilia, typically written or printed, that was originally intended to have only short-term usefulness.” For travelers, this category includes tickets, business cards, cut-outs from hotel’s travel magazines and tour attraction brochures, and so much more.

Items like that canceled entry ticket from the museum you had dreamed of visiting, or the business card from a special restaurant you ate at on the last night of your trip make great additions, not just for visual interest but for creating a record of the experience. These papers can help enhance a travel journal by filling a page and reminding you of the unique experiences from your trip. You can add these items in a style that’s technical, scientific, and carefully-arranged, or this addition can be done in a way to make a cute, playful, travel scrapbook.

• PACK TO SCRAPBOOK:  When you build your travel journal kit, be sure to pack a glue pen (so much fun to use, it’s literally a fine tip pen with glue for ink!), Sharp detail scissors with blades under 4″ from point to pivot (So TSA won’t swipe them), and a broad-tip glue pen (for covering larger areas). A small coupon organizer can be helpful for organizing cut-outs and preventing them from bending in your luggage before being added to your journal.
• FIND MATERIALS AS YOU GO . Free promotional materials are available at just about every hotel, restaurant, and tourist attraction. Keep your eye out for good additions and get creative with cutouts or even adding natural elements like leaves or pressed flowers. (TIP: the space between the back of your phone and your phone case is a great on-the-go spot to press a leaf or flower for later addition to your journal)
• ADD YOURSELF . Anyone can cut out and paste materials into a scrapbook, but you are what makes your travel unique. I always travel with a tiny travel printer that prints small sticky-backed photos (including selfies!) for my travel journal.

Maybe you aren’t an artist who likes to draw and paint in your art journal or a writer who loves recording long paragraphs in a travel journal- but if you still want a visually interesting record of your travels and the experiences you had, creating a mixed-media travel scrapbook is a great way to combine both long-format writing and visual reminders of your trip.

For many people, a travel scrapbook contains only photographs, but here’s a list of ideas for exciting and visually dynamic additions that you can add to your travel scrapbook style travel journal.

Ideas for Things to Add to Your Travel Scrapbook:

Pressed flowers.

When it comes to interesting elements to add to a travel scrapbook page, natural elements can be vibrant visuals. Pressed flowers, leaves, and even blades of grass can be added to a travel scrapbook with clear packing tape or carefully applied glue pen . Before adding leaves and flowers to your travel scrapbook, you’ll need to flatten or press the flower and at least partially dry them out.

Pro tip: Pressing Flowers During Travel Using Your Phone Case

Chances are, when you are on a local hike or exploring far-off wildlife and flora and fauna, you don’t have your travel scrapbook open and ready to press flowers. But you do have everything you need to press flowers in a flat, compressed space. Where? Your phone case! Phone cases are designed to fit tightly against the back of a phone and stay there without shifting.

That space between the back of your phone and a phone case is perfect for pressing small flowers and leaves. Flattened by pressure and dried by both time and the small amount of heat generated by your phone, you’ll have a perfectly preserved dried flower in no time.

You can also press flowers using your travel journal if your journal is the sort that has a hardcover and an elastic band to hold it closed. You’ll need the pressure that that band adds in order to get your flowers to dry flat. (Some very moist flowers, however, may discolor paper during the drying process.)

Feathers – found feathers can be used in the same way, although you should be aware that feathers can transport mites and avian diseases. For that reason, feathers typically cannot be taken across borders and often shouldn’t even be taken across state lines.

Picking flowers for pressing while traveling: Pay attention to signage and local rules about picking flowers. For example, it’s not only not allowed but very bad etiquette to pick flowers on a state or federally owned hiking trail. However, the same flower growing on the side of a roadway is typically fair game. Use common sense, follow local rules, and good manners when selecting where and how to pick flowers to press in your travel scrapbook.

Mini Travel Photo Stickers

One of my very favorite ways to add interest to the page of a travel journal or travel scrapbook is by using one of the easy-to-use travel printers on the market now. These tiny printers (sized about the size of the palm of your hand) are easy to pack and carry. They print small, 2” x 3” photographs with stock-and-peel backs.

If you have trouble following through with printing your travel photos following a trip, one of these travel printers might be a good choice for you. Being able to print a few photos at the end of a day as you’re relaxing in a hotel room or even a cafe is a great way to fill your travel scrapbook on the road- write in you day’s itinerary and add a few ticket stubs and your travel scrapbook will be complete by the time you catch your return flight- leaving no pressure to collate photos and manage memories after the trip.

I personally have traveled and travel scrapbooked with both the Canon IVY Bluetooth Printer  and HP’s version: Sproket Printer of these travel printers. Through traveling with both, I have noticed no major difference in use or the quality of printed photos. These travel printers make it fun and easy to add photos of you, your travel companions, and the sites you visit directly into your travel scrapbook while you are still traveling.

Cutouts From Brochures and Travel Pamphlets

As more and more travel information shifts online, brochures aren’t picked up as frequently as they once were. However, if you are a travel scrapbook creator, these little pamphlets are powerhouses for making fun and interesting pages in your travel scrapbook.

Paired with a tiny pair of scissors – you can create square, round, or custom-shaped cutouts and apply them to your travel scrapbook using a glue pen for precise glue application. You can cut out photos, text blocks, or even just individual words to create your own travel scrapbook of visiting that place. Paired with photos, other mementos, and a few of your own words in a minimal bullet journal style , it creates a cool travel journal/travel scrapbook hybrid that guarantees you’ll have a souvenir unlike anyone else’s ever visited that location.

Ticket Stubs and Passes

Ticket stubs and canceled museum or attraction passes can be a burden or a treasure depending on how you use them. How often have you traveled and found your pockets full of canceled tickets and related “trash”?

Rather than trashing these pieces of paper – or even worse, keeping them around in a disorganized heap in your luggage – place them inside of your travel scrapbook. Organizing these tickets can help you look back and remember the ways that you traveled and the places that you visited on your trip.

Ticket stubs and passes for museums, national parks, and other attractions often include information about the location as well as the trip date and time that you were there – Epherma that can help prompt fond memories as you flip back through your travel scrapbook in years to come.

With these easy ideas for creative additions to your travel scrapbook, you can create a record of your trip that is unique, exciting, and interesting to look at. A well-curated and artistically created scrapbook or journal can be a treasure. A travel scrapbook isn’t just for ourselves, it can also be enjoyed by those who love us and who want to know something real and authentic about our travels.

A travel scrapbook records more of our travels than just a social-media version of standard photos at popular tourist spots. Plus if we store a travel scrapbook properly it can even be a way for that the generations that come after us can touch, flip through, and experience something of our experience in the world as it was during our travels.

12 Travel Layout Tips & Ideas for the Adventurous Scrapbooker

Maybe you're like us and want to make the most stunning layouts with your travel photos.

For beautiful travel pages, we love to use the discover and adventure level dies. Plus with the Mosaic Moments® system, you can show multiple photos from your trip on a single layout! We gathered 12 layout ideas and shared our tips for getting the best travel scrapbook pages. 

Scroll down to see all of these incredible examples.

1. Photograph the Journey

"Fight to Orlando" by Paije Potter - Pattern #438

Take pictures of how you got to your destination.

 Sometimes just getting to a place is an adventure. We all have those airport stories. Here Tami and Paije catalogued the details of their flight to Orlando. They even took a detail shot of their movie screen.

And Paije even had room to journal their travel story!

This Layout Features: White 12x12 Grid Paper and Perfect Spot Die Set .

2. Use your Scenic Photographs as Art

Turn your scenic pics into a work of art!

Scenic photos are often left in a box for years - with Mosaic Moments there is room to add them! Here Jodi put her Maui landscapes in each corner of her layout and cut them in half with the Steps Die and a chain of 1x1s topped with a Tropical leaf.

Isn't Mosaic Moments the best way to turn your scrapbooking layouts into art?

This Layout Features: Sunset 12x12 Grid Paper from the Ombré Collection , Steps Die , and Tropical Leaf Border Die Set .

"Hana Maui" by Jodi Benson - Based on Pattern #368

3. journal inside discover dies.

"Maine Anniversary" by Tami Potter

Add that journaling in!

Where were you? Who was there? Why did you go to this destination?

Answer the questions you can't answer with photos alone. And, yes, you can fit in journaling with a discover or adventure level die!

Find out more about journaling with different shaped dies here .

This Layout Features: Lotus 12x12 Grid Paper , Whimsy 4x4 & 2x4 Die, and Whimsy 3x3 & 3x4 Die .

4. Make Phenomenal Panoramas

Get those panoramic shots!

It gives more of an impression to make a panorama rather than using a single 4x6 photo. Here, Paije made panoramas with two different length strip dies and laid them on the top and bottom of her page. She used long distance landscape shots that usually get left on your phone.

With Mosaic Moments these photos become the art on your layouts.

This Layout Features: Eggplant 12x12 Grid Paper from the Harvest Collection , Strips 1 x 2.125 Inch Die , and Strips 1x 3.25 Die .

"San Francisco Trip" by Paije Potter - Pattern #582

5. make mosaics.

"Millennium Park" by Paije Potter - Pattern #171 (adjusted)

Make your layout standout with a mosaic!

Be sure to avoid cutting into people's faces - use mosaic friendly photos. If there are people or buildings like in this example that you do not want to cut up, do like Paije did -- and keep a larger uncut space in your mosaic.

This page has room for lots of photos and looks amazing because of mosaic magic!

This Layout Features: Eggplant from the Harvest Collection , and the Basic Die Bundle .

6. Take Those Detailed Shots

Take photos of everything around you.

These photos help tell the story and give a sense of what your experience was like. Tami took photos of the shops they visited, buildings, gardens, and fountains as well as her close-up focal photo. It'd be a great page with just her focal photo but all the other detail shots make her layout rich with extra detail and information about her trip.

Her photos are her journaling -- they tell the story.

This Layout Features: Twilight from the Ombre Collection , Horizon Dies , and Basic Die Bundle .

"Chicago Trip" by Tami Potter - Pattern #103

7. use the pattern gallery to fit in all of your photos.

"Washington's Home" by Paije Potter - Pattern #475

Fit in lots of photos with the right page pattern!

The Pattern Gallery has many options for your layouts, and with the right one you can get more photos on your page than you thought possible. Here, Paije chose Pattern #475 -- look at the two rows of photos she was able to include and the photos she put in her Charmed Die.

A total of 13 photos are on this page - wow!

This Layout Features: Plum Pudding from the Renaissance Revival Collection , Charmed Die , and Basic Die Bundle .

8. Match your Patterned Paper to Your Theme

Use a patterned paper that matches with the theme and overall feel of the location.

Patterned paper can enhance your layout. Tami chose a weathered wood paper which brings out the "aged" feel on her page. This helps tell the story of her visit to the historic site, Fort Sumter.

This paper fits in perfectly!

This Layout Features: Right As Rain from the In the Garden Collection , and 30 Degrees Die .

"Fort Sumter" by Tami Potter - Pattern #228

9. take vertical and horizontal photos.

"Monument Valley" by Paije Potter - Pattern #344

Take a mix of vertical and horizontal photos during your travels to help you completely fill up your specialty die layouts.

You'll have more flexibility for those Adventure and Discover dies. If you have lots of photos, especially horizontal and vertical shots, it'll be a snap to plan your page. Here, Paije was tempted by the scenery to only take horizontal landscape shots. Good thing she remembered how important it was to take vertical shots too!

Those vertical and horizontal shots look so good on her layout with the Diamond Mine Dies!

This Layout Features: Cinnamon from the Harvest Grid Collection , Diamond Mine Dies , Basic Die Bundle .

10. Add Small Details for Your Eyes to Rest

Use cardstock or patterned paper as places for your eye to rest on the layout.

Even though we want to fit in lots of travel photos - it may seem too busy. Here, the orange paper helps your eye rest between the details of all the photos and it helps rotate your eye around the page.

These little details make a huge impact on your photo designs!

This Layout Features: Sand Ripples from the Dockside Collection , and Dynamic Dies .

"Belle Isle" by Paije Potter - Pattern #368

11. adjust your photos to fit the small spaces .

"The Lady & Sons - Savannah" by Tami Potter

There are a lot of small spaces in the specialty dies and it might be a challenge to use photos at a full 4x6 size.

There are things you can do to make them fit.  You can take your photos from greater distances and then cropping them is a breeze.  Another idea is to print your photos smaller. You can adjust the printing size on your printer or with applications like Photoshop.

We use the Epson PM-400 to print our photos to smaller sizes.

This Layout Features: Reflection from the Nantucket Grid Paper Collection , and Home Run Die Set . 

12. Vary the Distances of Your Photos

Take photos from a variety of distances.

If these photos were taken close up, the subjects would not fit. Get up close then take three steps back (or more) and take more pictures.

You'll be pleased with the results when you go to scrapbook with specialty dies.

This Layout Features: Clear Skies Grid Paper from the In the Garden Collection , and Chic Dies .

"Exploring Savannah" by Paije Potter - Pattern #431

When it comes to creating a travel scrapbook, there are no hard and fast rules. Your scrapbook should be as unique as your travels.

One of the benefits of creating a travel scrapbook is that it allows you to relive your travels and share them with others.

While there are many ways to approach a travel scrapbook, having the right supplies is essential to creating a beautiful and meaningful keepsake. In this section, I will discuss the two main categories of essential supplies for a travel scrapbook: choosing your scrapbook and scrapbook supplies .

Choosing Your Scrapbook

The first step in creating a travel scrapbook is choosing the right scrapbook. There are many options available, from traditional bound books to ring-bound albums to digital scrapbooks. When selecting a scrapbook, consider the following factors:

• Size: Choose a size that is appropriate for the amount of content you plan to include. A smaller book may be suitable for a weekend trip, while a larger book may be necessary for a longer trip or multiple destinations.
• Style: Consider the style of the scrapbook and choose one that reflects your personal taste and the theme of your trip.
• Durability: Look for a scrapbook that is sturdy and well-made to ensure that it will hold up over time.
• Pages: Choose a scrapbook with enough pages to accommodate your content. Some scrapbooks have refillable pages, which can be a useful feature.

Scrapbook Supplies

Once you have chosen your scrapbook, it is time to gather your supplies. Here are some essential scrapbook supplies that you will need for your travel scrapbook:

• Scrapbook paper: Scrapbook paper is the foundation of your pages and is available in a variety of colors, patterns, and textures. Choose paper that complements your photos and the theme of your trip.
• Adhesive: You will need adhesive to attach your photos, paper, and other elements to your pages. Options include glue sticks, double-sided tape, and photo corners.
• Scissors: A good pair of scissors is essential for cutting paper, trimming photos, and creating custom shapes and designs.
• Stickers: Stickers are a fun way to add embellishments to your pages. Look for stickers that reflect the theme of your trip, such as travel icons or destination names.
• Embellishments: Embellishments such as ribbons, buttons, and brads can add texture and interest to your pages.
• Canva: Canva is a great tool for designing custom elements for your pages, such as titles, captions, and borders. You can use Canva to create unique designs that reflect your personal style and the theme of your trip.

In conclusion, creating a travel scrapbook is a fun and rewarding way to preserve your travel memories. By choosing the right scrapbook and gathering the essential supplies, you can create a beautiful and meaningful keepsake that you will treasure for years to come.

Collecting Mementos

As a travel enthusiast, I always find myself collecting mementos from my trips. They are a great way to remember the places I have visited and the experiences I have had. In this section, I will share some tips on how to collect and store mementos for your travel scrapbook.

Types of Mementos

There are many types of mementos that you can collect during your travels. Here are some of the most popular ones:

• Postcards: Postcards are a classic souvenir that you can find almost anywhere. They are affordable, lightweight, and usually have a picture of the destination on the front.
• Ticket stubs: Whether it’s a plane ticket, train ticket, or museum ticket, keeping your ticket stubs is a great way to remember the places you have been.
• Maps: Maps are not only useful for navigating a new city, but they also make great mementos. You can mark the places you have visited or even use them to create a collage.
• Brochures and pamphlets: Many tourist attractions have brochures and pamphlets that provide information about the destination. Keeping them can be a great way to remember the details of your trip.
• Business cards: If you visit a restaurant or shop that you really enjoyed, ask for a business card. You can add it to your scrapbook as a reminder to visit again in the future.

Storing Your Mementos

Once you have collected your mementos, it’s important to store them properly so that they don’t get damaged. Here are some tips:

• Use acid-free paper: When adding mementos to your scrapbook, make sure to use acid-free paper to prevent them from deteriorating over time.
• Protect fragile items: If you have any fragile items, such as a seashell or a small statue, wrap them in tissue paper before adding them to your scrapbook.
• Use clear plastic sleeves: You can use clear plastic sleeves to protect your mementos from dust and other debris. They also make it easy to see your items without having to handle them.
• Label your items: Don’t forget to label your mementos with the date and location so that you can remember where they came from.

Overall, collecting mementos is a fun and easy way to remember your travels. With a little bit of planning and care, you can create a beautiful travel scrapbook that will be a cherished keepsake for years to come.

Organizing Your Travel Scrapbook

As someone who loves to travel and scrapbook, I know how important it is to organize your travel scrapbook in a way that makes sense and allows you to easily revisit your memories. Here are a few tips on how to organize your travel scrapbook:

Arranging by Destinations

One way to organize your travel scrapbook is by arranging it by destination. This means that you would create a section for each place you visited and include all the photos, tickets, and other memorabilia from that location in that section. This is a great way to keep everything organized and to make it easy to find a specific memory when you want to revisit it.

To make this even easier, you can create a table of contents at the beginning of your scrapbook that lists all the destinations you visited and the page numbers where you can find them. This will save you time flipping through pages trying to find a specific memory.

Creating a Timeline

Another way to organize your travel scrapbook is by creating a timeline. This means that you would arrange your memories in chronological order, starting with the first place you visited and ending with the last. This is a great way to see how your trip unfolded and to relive each moment in the order that it happened.

To make this even more interesting, you can include a map of your route and mark each destination as you go along. You can also include photos of the different modes of transportation you took, such as planes, trains, and automobiles.

Regardless of how you choose to organize your travel scrapbook, the most important thing is to make sure that it reflects your unique experiences and memories. Don’t be afraid to get creative and try new things, such as including sketches or handwritten notes. The more personal and unique your scrapbook is, the more meaningful it will be to you in the years to come.

Incorporating Media and Technology

As a travel scrapbooker, I love to incorporate media and technology into my scrapbooking process. Here are a few ways I use them to enhance my travel scrapbooks.

Using Social Media

Social media is a great way to gather inspiration and ideas for your travel scrapbook. I love to follow travel bloggers and photographers on Instagram to see their stunning travel photos and get ideas for how to document my own travels.

Another way to use social media is to create a hashtag for your trip and encourage your travel companions to use it when posting photos. This way, you can easily find all of the photos from your trip in one place and use them to create a collaborative scrapbook.

Scrapbooking Apps

There are many scrapbooking apps available that can make the process of creating a travel scrapbook easier and more efficient. Some of my favorite free apps include:

• Canva: This app has a variety of templates and design tools that make it easy to create beautiful pages for your scrapbook.
• PicCollage: This app allows you to create collages of your photos and add stickers and text to them.
• Google Photos: This app automatically backs up your photos and allows you to create albums and collages from them.

Using these apps can save you time and make it easier to create a cohesive and visually appealing travel scrapbook.

Overall, incorporating media and technology into your travel scrapbook can enhance the creative process and make it easier to document your travels.

Creative Ideas for Your Travel Scrapbook

As a travel enthusiast, I know how important it is to preserve memories from your trips. A travel scrapbook is a perfect way to keep those memories alive and relive those moments whenever you want. Here are a few creative ideas to make your travel scrapbook unique and memorable.

Creating a Collage

Collages are a great way to showcase multiple photos in one place. You can create a collage of photos from a particular location or event. You can use different shapes and sizes of photos to make them more interesting. You can also add stickers, washi tape , or other embellishments to make it more colorful.

Using a Map Background

Using a map background is a great way to add a unique touch to your travel scrapbook. You can use a map of the place you visited or a world map to mark the locations you have been to. You can also use a vintage map to give it a classic look. You can add photos, stickers, or other embellishments on top of the map to make it more personalized.

Overall, there are many creative ideas you can use to make your travel scrapbook unique and memorable. You can use a globe, vintage elements, or other unique touches to make it stand out. The most important thing is to have fun and let your creativity flow.

Preserving Memories and Experiences

As a traveler, one of the most important things for me is to preserve the memories and experiences of my trips. A great way to do this is by creating a travel scrapbook. It’s more than just a photo album; it’s a collection of stories, sights, and sounds that capture the essence of the journey.

When I’m creating a travel scrapbook, I like to start by gathering all the materials I need. This includes photos, postcards, ticket stubs, maps, and any other ephemera I’ve collected along the way. I also like to include journal entries or notes that I’ve written during the trip to add a personal touch to the scrapbook.

One of the benefits of creating a travel scrapbook is that it allows me to relive the memories and experiences of the trip. Each page tells a story, and flipping through the pages takes me back to that moment in time. It’s a great way to preserve memories and share them with others.

When it comes to organizing the scrapbook, I like to use a mix of layouts and designs. Some pages might be simple with just a photo and a caption, while others might be more elaborate with multiple photos and decorative elements. I also like to include quotes or lyrics that capture the mood or feeling of the trip.

Overall, creating a travel scrapbook is a fun and creative way to preserve the memories and experiences of a trip. It’s a great way to relive the sights, sounds, and emotions of the journey and share them with others.

Scrapbook Ideas for Beginners: 25 Inspiring Layouts

Anytime is a good time to finally get those scrapbooking ideas down on paper (or patterned paper!). It can be easy to have incredible experiences but no time to document all of those memories. Luckily, we have a slew of scrapbook ideas for beginners and beyond. Whether you prefer digital designs  or scrapbooking with a whole gang of scrapbook supplies rolling around the table, let these pages be a catalyst for assembling truly creative scrapbook spreads.

And if you need some extra help with those project ideas, sign-up for Tiffany Tillman-Emanuel’s  Mixed Media  and  Compositing  classes.  

Text, Lists and Open Spaces

1. Amy Tangerine is a master at making everyday look amazing. Making “lists of likes” (poll the kids, hubby or dog) is an excellent mile-marker for scrapbooking.

2. Section off a page with colorful Washi tape, then fill one of the sections with text about the photo/day you are highlighting. Leaving negative space on the page helps you take it all in and appreciate the beauty of the moment, as well as the details you’ve recorded.

3. This interview-style layout could be used for graduates who are ready to take on the world. Love the way  A Beautiful Mess  put this page together.

Have Camera, Will Travel

There are SO many ways to make travel memories last a lifetime. Snap pictures during your time on the long airplane or car ride, save maps from your road-trip, or arrange the scraps from some of your favorite haunts to make vacation memory scrapbooking (ok, ok, and shadow-box displays) easy as pie. (Scientific reminder: any pie eaten while on vacation results in weight LOSS, not gain. It’s vacation science.). Read on for the perfect travel scrapbook inspiration.

4. If scrapbooking an entire vacation or child’s young life seems too daunting, take this concept and run with it! Boil it all down to one event per month and presto! We spotted this brilliant idea on  Balzer Designs .

5. This page from  Studio Calico  demonstrates how adorable a series of shots from an airplane can look.

6. Maps are put to good use in this page from  Martha Stewart’s  site.

7. Take a cue from this  Athletes Abroad  page and put spare pics to work as city names.

A Snap with Instant Pics

Instant cameras and film are ridiculously fun, creative ways for making and sharing memories. Paste them into books, with as much or as little text as you desire, or pick a wall in your home/office to create a personalized art installation. They can be used to make a baby book or be more travel-centric. Also, whether you have a classic Polaroid or a new Instax, they are so easy to use, that your kids can have their own roll of film to capture memories of their own. Photo strips from photo booths work great, too!

8. Jessica Rose of  Volume Twenty Five  used a very minimal set-up to assemble this instant photo scrapbook.

Instax photos are another great way to capture life’s special moments and  scrappergirl ,  Adrienne Alvis , and the folks from  Urban Outfitters  each have their own unique take on assembling those Instax-captured memories.

Beginner-Friendly and Photo-Heavy

Or use traditional photos to fill album pages to tell stories without any words at all.

12. Kelly Purkey  relied on photos of all shapes and sizes to tell the story of her travels to Vietnam in this inspiring scrapbook album.

13.  Project Life  simplifies scrapbooking with stylish pre-fab inserts and pockets for your photos. This spread from  Eighteen25  includes a creative cut of an 8″x10″.

14. Another  A Beautiful Mess page  because, colors, you guys. And can we go on vacation with the ABM girls please and thank you.

Journal-Inspired, Imagination-Rich

Doodles, photos, sketches, paintings, oh my! Journals are more free-form and try to capture the essence of the moment without being too precious about it. Perfectionists need not apply here. Let yourself relax (it’s ok to do this while on vacation AND when you return to real life) and let your mind and hand wander across your journal. You can create vintage looks with old magazines or glue, too.

15. Seaweed Kisses combines art with mementos to create beautiful, patterned paper pages.

  A photo posted by JP (@jennie.pae) on Jun 22, 2015 at 9:59am PDT

16. This page from  Jennie Pae’s  traveler notebook puts ordinary planners to shame.

17. Vanessa Perry  blends gorgeous hand lettering with images to create a truly romantic page.

One-Image, Adorned

Highlight a single, important moment by using one photo per page. You’ll find lots of scrapbook layouts online, but when you adorn a single image with, cut-out letters, colorful tape, colored pencils, paper clips etc., it really draws the viewers eye to your focal point and gives it power.

18. Tiffany Tillman-Emanuel used digitized mementos to craft this mixed-media scrapbooking page that celebrates her daughter and mother.

19. Cute & Cool Creations  brought a black and white image to life with a very colorful page.

20. American Crafts Studio  uses a single photo and the rest of the scrapbook page to tell the story behind the image.

Bright Colors, Bold Shapes

These pages practically giggle. Something about using repeating shapes and vibrant scrapbook paper really soothe our souls. These examples are almost like visual quilts.

21. Gina Lideros uses paper and paper scraps from an Amy Tangerine collection to create an exciting and interactive page.

22. Lisa Dickinson came up with a layout that minimizes a reality that all of us face: bad photos. Lisa printed old photos from her Blackberry and used a bright page to provide contrast to her dark, pre-iPhone photos.

23. In this design from  Christine Newman  for  American Crafts Studio , Christine used white cardstock and paper punches to create impactful silhouettes for both a photo and her colorful paper collection.

Smash Book Style

The keepsakes that manage to turn up in your coat pocket, float up from the bottom of the suitcase, and hitchhike home within the pages of your favorite books, all have a permanent address in a smash book. Here are a few samples we discovered. Organized chaos? Maybe, but memories made! So we’ll keep ‘em on our scrapbook wishlist!

24. ShopEvalicious makes use of millions of random objects (that you might not consider scrapbooking supplies) that turn up in one’s pockets on vacation including receipts!

25. Kelly Purkey decided to build a smash book dedicated to a single month in her life. To make it happen she collected all of her odds and ends in a giant Ziploc bag. She was ultimately wowed by all of the ups and downs of the month and excited to assemble it into a single mini album.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
