Tips for Creating City Break & Overseas Travel Scrapbook Layouts 🌍📸✈️

There’s something magical about exploring a new city or travelling to another country — and capturing those memories in a scrapbook layout lets you relive the adventure again and again! Whether it’s the iconic skyline of London, the laid-back charm of Australia, the bikes and canals of Amsterdam, or your dream trip across the USA and Canada, we’ve got tips (and plenty of themed goodies!) to help you tell your travel story in style.

1. Use Local Icons to Set the Scene

Start your layout with embellishments that instantly identify your destination — think double-decker buses and Big Ben for London, windmills for Amsterdam, or trams for San Francisco. These small but mighty elements give instant personality and help anchor your page in a specific place.

2. Add Geo Tags for a Modern Travel Vibe

Geo tags are perfect for highlighting destinations, whether you're city hopping or tracking your travel route. Use them as background layers or focal embellishments to add a trendy, map-inspired feel.

3. Tell the Story with Journaling Spots

A few lines about your favourite café, a funny moment, or what the weather was like really bring your travel layout to life. Use cutfile frames, tags, or stencilled blocks to create dedicated space for your words.

4. Mix Photos with Ephemera

Include ticket stubs, receipts, and postcards alongside your photos for a layered, memory-rich look. If you're short on real items, use themed Perspextives like suitcases, passports, or airplanes to add that travel texture.

5. Create a Series or Mini Album

City breaks and overseas trips usually mean lots of photos. Instead of cramming everything into one page, create a layout series or mini album with a consistent colour theme. Use titles like “Scenic Route”, “Going Places”, or “Bucket List” to tie it all together.

Whatever your destination — whether it’s a quick weekend in London, a dreamy visit to Amsterdam, a tour of Canada’s natural beauty, or an epic adventure through Australia and the USA — your scrapbook pages can reflect the uniqueness of each place and the joy of your journey.
