How to Scrapbook Abroad

When you're first thinking about holiday scrapbooking, you need to think about what type you want to do. Are you sticking to your usual daily routine? Great! Gather together the supplies you use on a daily basis and fit them into your suitcase. Why not try using these efficient packing cubes from Pastael? They're our favourites for fitting as much as possible into your suitcase! Keeping your usual routines while on holiday can help maintain a sense of normalcy. Yes, even if you're halfway across the world! We know we can definitely get homesick, so keeping your scrapbooking routine can counteract this.

If you want to try out something new, have a look at our Junk Journal. This new product is a really fun way to make a special keepsake for each trip. If you're going on a longer trip, it can be fun to collect different bits of ephemera and use them once you're home to create a fab junk journal spread. Why not try picking up some local maps, restaurant menus, or train tickets? All of these can come together with your usual crafting supplies to create a fun memory to look back on.

It's important to decide what style of scrapbooking suits your holiday. It's only after you've sorted this that you can work out how much you need to pack. You only have limited space while you're abroad, so it's good to think strategically about these things.

Scrapbooking On Your Travels

It can be useful to think about how much time you'll have on the trip to scrapbook. If you're going at a slower pace, you might have several free hours each day. In this case, you'll be able to take loads of materials with you and really get stuck in. If you're taking a whirlwind weekend trip, your time will be much more limited.

This is where our handy Travel Scrapbook comes into play! Gone are the days of struggling to know what to record when you're on holiday. We've done all the hard work for you, so all you have to do is bring your favourite stationery! It's perfect for preserving photos, notes, and mementos, and is a must-have for any travel enthusiast. We've got a list of countries, a world map, a photo memory page, and so much more!

One of our favourite pages is the Travel Bingo. With only half of the bingo squares filled in, it's perfect for you to complete with your bucket list. If you've always wanted to see Niagara Falls, now's the time to add it on the bingo. We also have an activity bingo that can be tailored to any type of holiday you're going on. If you've been inspired by the recent London Marathon, why not put a race on there? It can be so much fun to make a destination race into a long weekend exploring a European city. If you've always wanted to read four books in one day, that can go on the bingo as well! There are no limits here - the scrapbook can be used in any way that suits you.

Once You're Home

So, now you're home you've got no idea what to do with your ephemera. Scrapbooking is the perfect way to remind yourself that travel does not end when you come home. It's only the beginning! By making physical reminders of your memories, you'll be able to look back on it in years to come. There's no right or wrong way to scrapbook, so go with whatever feels right to you. You can create a traditional travel scrapbook, scrapbook with a colouring book, or make a photo collage. It's truly up to you!
