Tips for making travelogue scrapbook .
Answers
While some may prefer a more compact photo scrapbook, the most common size is 12 x 12 which fits four or five 4×6 photos per page. Make sure you have the following scrapbooking tools on hand before you get crafting:
A sharpie for writing bold titles, and a pen for more detailed captions.
A three-ring binder
Plastic page protectors
12x 12 scrapbook paper– I like to do each place in the same colour so it’s obvious when you’re moving on to a new place. For example, do all of my Switzerland pictures on red paper, then change to yellow for the Netherlands section of the scrapbook.
Glue
Scissors
Photos (duh!)
Wine and good music to get you through the hours-worth of scrapbooking
Edit. I use Lightroom to edit all of my photos, and it’s amazing how much better they look with just a little bit of tweaking. If that’s above your skill set, there’s a free online program called PicMonkey that works well for basic edits.
Decide which photos you want to include in your vacation scrapbook, then determine which ones you’ll use on each page. I usually do four per page, or two/three if I’m also including a brochure or ticket stubs. It’s also important to consider scrapbook layouts, as a 12×12 page using 4×6 photos can only hold the following:
4 or 5 horizontal
3 horizontal, 1 vertical
2 horizontal, 2 vertical
1 horizontal, 2 vertical
Keep in mind you may want to print some amazing photos off as larger 5x7s, which will affect your layout.
