No Vacation Plans? 5 Fun and Creative Ways to Use a Travel Collection for Everyday Adventures!
Hey scrappy friends! Summer is finally here, and that means sunshine, sandals, and the irresistible urge to go for adventures. You know the feeling, you start dreaming of passports, plane tickets, and which scrapbook collection you’ll use to capture it all. But what if you don’t have a big vacation planned (yet), and you’re still dying to play with that gorgeous new Wander & Wonder collection?
Same here! So today I’m sharing 5 fun and creative ways to document your summer adventures. Plus, I’ll show you how I created a few pocket page cards after spending the day exploring my own hometown like a tourist!
1. Document the experience, not just the destination.
Who says a travel collection has to be reserved for international trips? Some of the most meaningful memories come from simple moments close to home:
A weekend road trip
Visiting your grandma’s house
Being a tourist in your own city
A peaceful walk in the nearest park, forest or beach
2. Small but meaningful moments
Sometimes, the best memories are the quiet, cozy ones:
That first coffee with a view
A relaxing nap on the beach
Reading a book by the river
A calm evening walk as the sun goes down
3. Capture the unexpected and the hilarious
Maybe the GPS got you lost, the hotel was a surprise (not in a good way), or you tried an exotic dish you’ll never forget. Those moments are gold for storytelling.
This collection includes tons of journaling cards, perfect for recording funny anecdotes and gathering the whole family to share the best moments of the trip.
4. Don’t skip the travel basics
Some classic vacation details are always worth documenting:
Who you traveled with
What you packed
What music became your soundtrack
What you ate each day
What you learned while exploring
5. Experiment with format and size
I love 12x12 layouts, but sometimes it’s refreshing to explore other type of projects! Here are a few ideas:
Make a mini album for each city or day
Use pocket pages to capture mini memories
Create a travel-themed bucket list
Let your journaling shine and use it as the star of the layout!
So… what kind of traveler are you?
Are you the adventurous type, hiking and exploring? Or more of a relaxed traveler with a book and a cold drink? Either way, the Wander & Wonder collection is here to help you document your journey, no matter how near or far it takes you. Because in the end, it’s not about where you went, but how you lived it.
