Record What You Want to Remember

In scrapbooking, it’s important to pare down the memories to what you most want to celebrate on the page. When you’re on the road, take some time each day to jot down your most favorite experiences. This will give you focus when you go back home to create your layouts. For more information, visit Ali Edwards’ blog.

Pre-Scrap

Abbreviate Your Process

Sometimes you can’t work on a full scrapbook during holiday trips. Try a travel journal instead - just find a notebook or sketchbook that you like and add mementos and notes as you go. For more information, visit The Babs Blog.
