How to Create a DIY Travel Scrapbook/Diary

Hey, so if you didn't know, I'll be going to Dominican Republic this January and I am going to be making a travel scrapbook to document my trip. I'd thought I'd blog it cause there's a lot of ideas out there about what to include in a travel or vacation scrapbook and how you could design it. So, I've decided to put all those ideas plus mine, together into a neat little list. I've decided to do mine like a time-line book with a table of contents and extra pages for special events and memories. Below is a picture of the scrapbook stuff I've purchased for this project. All from Dollarama for $1.00 instead of buying them from Michaels for $3.00 +. If your stuck on ideas, you can always search Pinterest for "DIY SMASH Book Travel" or the like.


What to Include: 
COVER:
So for the cover you can leave it blank like the smashbook already is, or you can paste your fav pic from your vacation, or maybe a map of where you went. Another cool idea is to buy a postcard when you're at your destination and glue it to the front. You can add decals like in the picture to the left for more customization.

INSIDE COVER/FIRST PAGE:
A lot of people tend to use the inside cover or first page for the main facts about their trip. For example;
Where it was, when it took place, for how long, who you went with, where you stayed, etc. I've decided to use my first page because my inside cover has pockets so I'm probably putting mementos in there.
