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!

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.

Love that Mulberry Paper!

I'm a big fan of mulberry paper and I used a sheet of 'green' for this layout,dampening the edges, pulling off tufts, and letting it dry before using any adhesive, of course. I found a dry adhesive like a tape-runner is best for mulberry.


DIGITAL SCRAPBOOK SUPPLY

This is a new area for me, but I'm amazed at the effects that can be achieved. This membership site seems to have everything I could possibly need to start my adventures in digital scrapbooking.


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!


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. 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 at least some kind of beach scrapbook layout . Hey, maybe you'd rather create a New York Scrapbook - sampling the Big Apple and checking out the pips!
