A great way to create a keepsake of your Summer Holiday 2013 is to write a journal of your holiday.
Scrapbooks, unlike photo albums tell a story and are something to look back on, bringing back happy memories of day-trips and holidays. Even if you are not going on holiday this summer, you can create a scrapbook of the new adventures you have had and the places you have visited, even if they are local. The ideas are endless. Here are some to get you started:
Write a Travel Diary. For each visit, even if it is local, collect mementoes and souvenirs of your time there e.g. postcards, entrance tickets, leaflets, brochures, postage stamps etc. Cut out pictures from tourist brochures to decorate your page and write down the highlights of your visit, adding photos of the trip.
Holiday Soundtrack. What song were you listening to on the journey on the way to your destination? You could add some of the lyrics on your daily pages, then when you have time, you can compile a soundtrack to your vacation.
Write a Holiday Newspaper. Your scrapbook could be newspaper style with captions and photos for noteable holiday events.
Food Diary. For food lovers out there, take photos of menus you have chosen form and meals and desserts you have eaten. Write as if you were a food critic, giving ratings and reviews for each meal. Look for styles of writing in newspapers and magazines for inspiration.
Scrapbooks are the perfect way to express yourself creatively. Can you think of any other ideas to share? send them to me at helena@storyroom.co.uk and I will share your ideas with others. Have fun!
