| Tutorial 8 Scrapping Your Vacation As
You Go! |
| Pack your bags!
We're ready to go! With
a little preparation ahead of time,
you can gather everything you
need to scrap your vacation photos
and still enjoy your vacation!
Let the whole family have fun
with it. My husband even had
fun collecting things. |
| Before You Go |
 |
Supplies needed:
Three-ring Binder
Spiral Notebook
Pocket Pages
You can use a binder from around
your house, or purchase one for a couple of dollars from
your local office supply store. While shopping, pick-up
a package of pocket pages. I found manila double-pocket
dividers and plastic binder Pockets. I went with the
latter because the pockets are cut on a slant which holds
things in place a little better, and they are see through.

Each place you visit will need its own pocket. Label
your pockets with small label
stickers giving dates of arrival
and location. While making your travel plans, put copies
of reservations, tourist information and maps in their
appropriate pocket.
Place the spiral notebook in the front
pocket of the notebook to record
each days events. It is best to take a couple of minutes
each evening, when things get quiet, to jot down the
days happenings and special moments.

| While Traveling |
| Now is where the fun begins! Use your travel
pockets to store items you collect along the way. When
you return home and have your wonderful photographs developed,
everything is in order and ready to scrap. |
|
Items to gather along the way:
- Brochures - One to cut for a title or journal square
and one to keep in a pocket in your album.
- Pins - These are very popular
now. It is easy to remove
the back pin with tweezers or pliers.
- Tickets and Passes
- Business Cards from your
favorite restaurants, bed and breakfast,
etc
- Postcards - Make a note of
the days happenings on the back.
- Local Newspapers - Clip a
piece of local news or the weather
forecast.
- Soap Wrapper - Go ahead and
use the soap
- Hotel Bill - Some day you
will look back and say, 'That was
cheep!' Ha, Ha!
|
| Please don't
pick-up treasures that would leave an empty spot on our
landscape. Keep it just the way you found it for your
children and grandchildren. |

Visiting a destination for the second or third time?
