Travel journal scrapbook
Spent hours online, researching the next far-flung destination you’ll jet off to as soon as you can.
Whipped up exotic meals from places you dream of visiting. Leafed through every travel book you could get your hands on. If you’re like us, you’ve watched all the travel shows and documentaries. I see so many gals thinking they had to be “good” at it before they start.After months of sitting at home – plans scrapped, planes grounded, journeys not taken – saying we have “wanderlust” is an understatement. Each is a way for memory keeping, however you choose to do it! Whether you are a scrapbooker or junk journaller, you are doing it right! There is no wrong way to do art so whatever you try to do its great. Many people use their junk journals as actual “journals” where they record thoughts and feelings.Īs with all things junk journalling you can do this as you wish, writing things down or just having large words in your artwork.

For example, this was a junk journal I was working on during a conference I attended this year. The cool thing about junk journals is that they are a place to keep all the “stuff” that you collect along the way. You can use a “real” book or a book created with papers and book covers. You can use anything as the base for your junk journal including: Junk journals were originally made from actual “junk” like old advertisements, junk mail envelopes, stickers and other “stuff” that would otherwise be thrown away.

Oftentimes I will make a junk journal out of different papers or a book or (my favorite) an old yearbook, which is what I used for my rainbow journal. I used an old planner book for this one so that I didn't have to bind it myself. It has all kinds of different “tuck spots” where you can pull out pictures of grandpas.Īs you can see there is a kind of “journal” aspect where I have my Dad's name, Clearwater Florida and bits and pieces that make me think of grandpas (like the army man to represent the fact that the Grandpas were in the service!) Often a junk journal is a handmade book and is not intended to last a long time the same way scrapbooks are.įor example, this is my “grandpa” journal. Where scrapbooks are made to be polished and beautiful, junk journals are made to be used, written in and to remember things you want to keep track of. I had to use someone else's picture for the scrapbook because I am a big old junk journaller! They are made to commemorate a fixed period of time or a specific event. There are a bunch of different kinds of scrapbooks including: Most scrapbooks are made to look at rather than for ongoing journalling or to include any more than what is included in the finished book.
