Capturing Travel Memories in Pocket Pages

One of the things I like most about my weekly pocket scrapping habit is that it works for special occasions and travel as well as it does for everyday life. This means that I don't "get behind" on either one of those categories because I'm working on the other one. Weeks when we are traveling I just end up with more photos on the layout than regular weeks. And with a pocket style layout I find it pretty easy to add in more photos because you are already working within the grid framework of the layout. Which makes it easy to keep things organized and looking good even if you've included 15 photos.

Here are the pages I made from our recent road trip from Oregon to Arizona and back.

Even if I get behind during trips like these and don't make my layouts every Saturday, I find I can still sit down and set up several weeks in an hour or less. This is how I've managed to complete a weekly scrapbook layout every week since 2015!

You can find the layout template that I use every week for my pocket scrapping here. I've used it for over 6 years, so it's a pretty good one! I also like this set of frames for when I'm really trying to cram in more photos.

Do you have any techniques that keep you going on your scrapbooking projects?

About Me

Hi There! I’m Marisa Lerin and you’ll see me around at DigitalScrapbook.com a lot. I started this site in 2010 soon after I discovered a new love in digital scrapbooking. DigitalScrapbook.com has gone through some significant changes since that time and it’s grown into this lovely community site you are seeing now. I am daily surprised by the turn of life’s events that has led me down this path. If you're new to the site, welcome! Here are a few tidbits about me that I hope will help you get to know me better!

I’m originally from Minnesota, USA, but spent a good chunk of my childhood living abroad (in Bolivia and Hong Kong). I returned to Minnesota to attend university, got married and then moved overseas again (Korea, then Jordan and 1 year of traveling). My designs are heavily influenced by these many nomadic years. I am currently back in the USA, now living in the great state of Oregon!

I have no official training for what I’m doing, since I decided very wisely (haha) to study physics in university. I am always learning new things about digital scrapbooking, and this community has been immensely helpful for that!

If I manage to stop digital scrapbooking you will probably find me watching TV, reading or baking. I also enjoy writing for the blog here at DigitalScrapbook.com where I talk about whatever happens to be catching my fancy at the moment.
