Decide if you are going to organize your scrapbook chronologically, geographically or just any way that strikes you.

Plan out each page before attaching anything to the page.

Find some clip art or drawings, or create some printed descriptions to add to your scrapbook to make it more appealing to the eye.

Consider attaching a small section of a map as a background to each page to show where the pictures and other mementos are from.
-
8
Think about starting the scrapbook with a map on which you have traced your entire route.

Decorate the cover of your scrapbook so that it ties in with your trip. You might use a postcard of the city you visited or write the names of all the places you stopped across the cover. You could also use a photo collage of your trip.

Write some narrative to go with each section of the book. Describe where you went, what you did and any memorable things that happened. Include the typed words on the pages.

Include the whole family in creating the book if possible. You could have each family member write a short description of his or her favorite part of the trip.
