TRAVEL SCRAPBOOK IDEAS





There are as many travel scrapbook ideas as there are places to travel to. Travel is a theme that will have you scrapping anything from snowy peaks to coral reefs, golden beaches to neon lights.

In my case it was sitting on an elephant's back in Goa. In fact I remember getting my first travel scrapbook ideas for this layout while the elephant was taking aim!

Incidentally, you too can have a sun tan like mine - if you never go outside!

CAPTURE THE MOMENT.....

I've included my 'elephant page' here because I don't think I've ever made a layout with photos taken within a 10 second period before. Actually, 'Power Shower' is what the Indian elephant-handlers call this particular tourist attraction!

But your photos don't have to be taken almost simultaneously to belong together. If your travel scrapbook photos create an emotion in you when they're grouped together - then scrap those photos on the same page!


MATERIALS USED IN THIS TRAVEL SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT

This group of photos lent themselves to 'mirroring' the photo content in the layout. I used a grey 'trunk' of Bazzill Basics cardstock, and made my white Sissix letters appear from the trunk, adding a few Wedgwood watersplash punch motifs for added effect.


TIP FOR THOSE DOUBLE PAGE SPREADS.......

When you start putting your vacation scrapbook layout collection into your album, don't forget that the eye sees the double page spread as a single layout. Therefore, it's a good idea to have two facing pages that compliment each other in colour, style, and of course embellishments!


HAVE YOU EVER HAD 'SCRAPPERS' BLOCK'?!

Every time I think about making a layout I um and ah for ages, not knowing how to start it. I might have some great photos, maybe even some great embellishments but I can't get a handle on the 'big picture' - literally. I am therefore hugely grateful to Jen Gormley's superb book ' 500 Scrapbooking Sketches ', that has a ton of great layout frameworks that bust through my scrapper's block every time! What a lot of time I might have saved. Hey ho.


IT'S A BIG WORLD OUT THERE!

Many travel scrapbook ideas will involve a lot less water and a lot more clothes! Maybe, like me you fancy making an Italy scrapbook , or perhaps a London scrapbook layout . I revisited my Merseyside roots and made a Liverpool Scrapbook layout . You may, like with our holiday in Goa, fancy somewhere a bit warmer - in which case why not go for a Hawaii scrapbook layout , or a bit of Thailand scrapbooking or at least some kind of beach scrapbook layout . Hey, maybe you'd rather create something really 'intrepid' like a Nepal scrapbooking layout or as a bit of a contrast a New York Scrapbook - sampling the Big Apple and checking out the pips! Whatever travel scrapbook ideas you come up with, you'll always look more impressive than someone with just a pile of photos.
