Tips for Scrapbooking Travel - Simple Scrapper

It?s that time of year: ATV, aka After The Vacation. Perhaps you are so worn out that you need a post-vacation vacation or maybe you?re drowning in too many photos. In the past few years, I?ve shared my system for managing the influx of summer memories:

In this post, I?ve asked the Simple Scrapper team to offer additional ideas for scrapbooking your travels!

18 Ideas for Scrapbooking Your Vacation

Jennifer Wilson (that?s me!) says: Mini books and journals are the perfect portable size for documenting your journey on-the-go. These days, there are even super tiny printers you can tote along!

Jean Manis says:?Use coordinated products from a single manufacturer, (in this case October Afternoon), with computer-generated journaling to easily document vacation highlights.

Valerie Mangan says: Use a?map of your road trip destination as background paper and for making embellishments.

Ronnie Crowley says: Create a front page for your album or photo book with extra photos you don?t want to part with.

Amy Kingsford says:?Don?t forget that your day trips and ?stay-cations? are also important to capture.?I use my ?Places We Go? album to record everything from our backyard camping trips to photo walks.

Valerie Mangan says:?List style journaling is quick and easy and a great prompt for pages once you get home.

Sue Althouse says:?Consider a non-chronological approach when scrapping a trip.

Pam Lozano says: Incorporate tickets and passes into the design of your layout.

Sue Althouse says:?Remember to take pictures of signs and historic markers on the trip. They will help you remember details later, or better yet, serve as the journaling.

Aimee Maddern says: Use small memorabilia like smashed pennies as embellishments in your travel scrapbooking.

Aimee Maddern says: Large-sized SMASH books work great for an extended road trip.

Ronnie Crowley says:?Keep a record of motels by collecting their business cards. To keep a record in my trip album I scan these cards and add them to the layouts.

Jennifer Wilson says:?Use colorful tourism magazines and brochures to add variety and additional interest to your vacation scrapbook album.

Pam Lozano says:?Summarizing your trip using the numbers involved is a quick way to recap and record all those little details you?ll soon forget.

Margrethe Aas Johnsen says: Create a page using only the photos you snapped with your camera phone, for a consistent look.

Jess Forster says:?Get out from behind the camera. Don?t be afraid to ask others to take photos of you with your family.

Julie Aldridge says:?Reproduce authentic, in-the-moment feelings by bringing a journal with you on your travels to record your experiences as they happen. When you get back, scan and print a copy of your writing to put directly into your scrapbook.

Jean Manis says:?Record the details of your day?s itinerary each day ? restaurant names, sites seen, sections of a city ? so that ?at a glance? pages of your trip can be easily created once you?re back home.

I love scrapbooking travel because it is not open-ended; there is a specific beginning and end, making it easier to wrap your brain around the page or project. Do you have any tips for documenting adventures?
