Travel Scrapbook Pages: 6 Layouts with Photos to Copy

A travel scrapbook page is a photo, a place and a small souvenir. The photo says who was there, the printed piece says where, and the stickers say what the day was like: coffee, a suitcase, a hat, a boot.

Here are six travel scrapbook pages with photos, from a gondola in Venice to a campfire. Each one lists the printables it is made from, so you can print the same sheets at home and make the page the same evening you sort the pictures.

Quick answer: a travel scrapbook page needs one patterned paper that matches the place, a photo on a mat of plain card, one large printed picture of the place and two to four small stickers. Finish with a short line by hand: the place, the season or the year. The six pages below show six ways to do it.

The plan behind every travel page

1. Choose the paper by the place. Blue tartan for Italy, pink toile for Paris, brown gingham for a railway, turquoise for the sea, green for the woods.
2. Mat the photo on plain card in a colour taken from the paper, so the picture stands apart from the pattern.
3. Add one large printed picture of the place: a watercolor bridge, a tower, a locomotive. It tells the story at a glance.
4. Group two to four small stickers near the photo and leave part of the pattern empty.
5. Write the place and the year on a cream circle or strip.

Each sticker and cut-out in these pages has a simple outline with a white border, so scissors are enough. The same plan also works for a travel scrapbook cover: use one photo, one large picture and the name of the trip.

Travel scrapbook pages with one photo

1. A little Italy

For a trip abroad, open with the moment you remember best rather than with a map. The watercolor bridge overlaps the lower right corner of the photo, the suitcase sits on the left and the tile border runs along the bottom, so the page feels like a postcard from Venice.

• Small stickers: coffee, gelato, a suitcase and the tile border from the Venice Travel Mini Journal Printable Kit by Mermaids Cove, US Letter.
• Words on the page: “A little Italy”.

2. Sun, sea and a Greek terrace

Bright turquoise, a coral mat under the photo and one large, busy sticker: a beach page that looks the way the holiday felt. The wave border finishes the bottom of the sheet.

• Small stickers: a straw hat, sandals, a seashell and the wave border from the Santorini Travel Journal Mini Kit by Mermaids Cove.
• Words on the page: “sun sea smiles”.

3. A weekend at the campsite

A trip does not have to be far away. The tent is the largest sticker and sits under the photo at the right, where the eye goes next, and the campfire and the mug repeat what happens in the picture.

• Small stickers: a campfire, an enamel mug and hiking boots from the Camping Adventure Mini Kit Printable by Mermaids Cove.
• Words on the page: “campfire memories”.

4. An anniversary in Venice

These are the same three printables as in layout 1, arranged differently: the photo sits at the upper left, and the bridge print overlaps its lower right corner without covering the couple, while the gondola and the large suitcase lie across the lower edge. It shows how one set can give two different pages in one album.

• Small stickers: a gondola, a suitcase, coffee, gelato and a window with flowers from the Venice Travel Mini Journal Printable Kit by Mermaids Cove.
• Words on the page: “venice memories”.

Two more travel pages: Paris and a train ride

Same plan, different places: one photo on a mat, one tall or large printed piece, and a small group of stickers. Both pages keep the faces clear and let the stickers overlap only the edges.

5. A Paris cafe morning

The tall Eiffel Tower card stands beside the photo and gives the page its height, and the cream label overlaps the lower edge of the photo. A camera, a bouquet and macarons sit along the bottom; a camera suits a trip with friends, and pink toile stays gentle behind it all.

• Small stickers: a camera, a flower bouquet and macarons from the Paris Travel Mini Journal Printable Kit by Mermaids Cove.
• Words on the page: “bonjour beautiful memories”.

6. Tickets to adventure

A journey with a grandchild is a story of tickets, thermoses and a window seat. The steam locomotive is the big sticker, and a railway ticket, a station clock, a stack of suitcases and a window with hills carry the idea of departure.

• Small stickers: a railway ticket, suitcases, a station clock and an arched window from the Railway Adventure Mini Paper Craft Kit by Mermaids Cove.
• Words on the page: “tickets to adventure”.

Making the pages work together in one album

• Use the same handwriting colour on every page; it ties different papers together.
• Start each trip with the page that has the largest picture of the place, then follow with the people pages.
• Keep one side of an open spread plain if the other is busy: pair a patterned page with a calm page.
• Add a ticket, a postcard or a receipt to a page with a pocket or a tape strip; a printed sticker never replaces a real souvenir.
• Print one test page before printing the whole set. Home inkjet prints can smudge when wet, so use a glue stick or double-sided tape.

Questions about travel scrapbook pages

How many photos go on a travel scrapbook page?

One or two. With one photo you have room for a large picture of the place, and with two you can pair people with a view or a table. More than two photos make the page crowded.

What papers suit a travel scrapbook?

Choose by place: tartan or plaid for Europe, toile or floral for Paris, gingham for trains and picnics, plain turquoise or blue for the sea, green for the woods. A quiet pattern lets the stickers and the photo do the work.

Can I use these layouts for a cover page?

Yes. Keep one photo, one large picture and the name of the trip, and leave out the small stickers.

Do I need a cutting machine?

No. The pieces have simple outlines with white borders and can be cut with ordinary scissors.
