I have a horrible memory, so having a journal to write my experiences is a must. I sit down at the end of the day - or during a break in our adventures - and write about the interesting places I've visited and the funny things my friends or family and I say to each other. I love being able to look back at all the unique experiences I've had.

Sometimes my trips are an hour away to get a break from the day to day, or practice my nature photography, or even longer trips with family or friends where we have new adventures that I want to keep track of. I like to write down the places we visit, any wildlife that we see, special flowers or trees, and any interesting conversations that we have.

How To Make a Travel Adventure Journal

Wander the craft store aisles to find your favorite scrapbook papers and stickers to use to decorate your notebook.

Supplies Needed to Make Your Travel Notebook

Make Your Own Adventure Journal Tutorial

     1. Trim your scrapbook paper to the size of your notebook cover (leaving room for the spiral on the edge). 

     2. On the front cover of the notebook, put strips of double sided tape then place the scrapbook paper on top. Make sure to place on evenly - you will not be able to remove the paper to start over!

     3. To make your stickers stand out from your decorative scrapbook paper, cut a piece of plain cardstock slightly bigger than your sticker.
     4. Put your sticker on the piece of cardstock.

     5. Edge the plain cardstock with your ink pad. This will make it look a little nicer against the scrap paper.

     6. Use double sided tape to adhere the cardstock/sticker to the cover of your journal

That's it! In 6 simple steps you made a super cute journal you can use for your travel adventures! Change the paper and stickers, and you can make different themed notebooks or journals.
