Scrapbooking Your Travels and Vacations

Chronicling your travels on scrapbook pages allows you to relive the trip even when you’re back home. Photos, memorabilia, facts and journaling impressions are all part of making scrapbook pages that capture the trip.

While some travels are best looked at chronologically when you are making scrapbook pages, others benefit from a “subject” approach. Consider the following types of travels:

Scrapbooking the Weekend Getaway
A weekend getaway can be as much about the company as the destination. It might be a short trip to hang out with friends, find some romance, see an exhibit, or just take a break from your typical weekend routines. With fewer photos from fewer activities (than you’d have with bigger trips), the scrapbooking of weekend getaways can focus on impressions, stories, companions, and moments.

Try this: find a strong opening photo and a strong closing photo. Put each of them on their own scrapbook pages and then make several pages for the middle that show the key stories/moments on this short getaway. Get the stories written down as soon as you can, in a diary or on a blog, if you’re not scrapbooking the pages immediately.
