The holidays are coming up and there is no better conversation starter than a scrapbook documenting a recent trip. Creating a scrapbook is the best and most personal way to present a special travel experience to your entire family. A scrapbook organizes your pictures whichever way you choose, helping to keep the events of your trip accurate and easy to remember. It is an easy and visually appealing way to describe an exciting journey.The possibilities are endless!
It’s also the most creative way to document memories for your own use. Everyone gets picture happy when they travel which makes it easy to end up with envelopes of pictures you don’t know what to do with. Rather than keeping them hidden in a closet, create a glamorous scrapbook to display on your coffee table. Scrapbooks are easy and fun to create and so much more personal than just a photo album.

Scrapbooks are also excellent gift ideas. Make a scrapbook for your travel companion or family
member by incorporating tickets, photos, receipts, mementos and anything else that is unique or special from your trip. You can design your scrapbook with a specific theme in mind or make it a random collection of events. Regardless of how you want to create your scrapbook, each page should be aesthetically pleasing with a thoughtful layout. It is best to roughly plan each page setup before gluing.
Making each page a design success can be time consuming but worth it in the final presentation. Click here for a guide in designing each page step by step with visuals.
Scrapbooks do no have to be expensive- you can literally create the front and back covers yourself. Watch this How-To video on creating a scrapbook
from scratch.
