For her road trip layout Andrea layered pattered paper with a map design on top, adding a fun die cut “you are here” dot with vellum underneath. Her staggered photos are surrounded by fun travel accents and some hand written journaling. Visit the Tombow blog for directions.
With the kids back in school and Summer coming to an end hopefully you got to jump in the car with family or friends and take a road trip or maybe you’ll be heading out on one soon before the weather gets too cold. Be sure to take pics of packing up the car, driving down the road, stopping for food and all the cool places you visited along the way on your road trip to so you can scrap those fun travel memories when you return home. Let’s take a look at some layout ideas to inspire you.

Tarrah added a wonderful rows of trees across the center of her design with printed and die cut trees backed with pattern papers. The woodgrain background paper is perfect to go with the trees as well as come camping and adventure accents with lots of tiny stars. I spotted her page on the Cocoa Vanilla Instagram page.
Another great pattern to use for road trips is license plates like Krislyn used behind her trio of stacked photos. There’s also embellishments of road signs, a packed car, map and more along with torn notebook paper to journal on. Find directions at the Creative Memories blog.
Bechi created awesome borders top and bottom on her layout with a road and cars along the bottom and torn and layered paper and embellishments up top. She stitched on her photos , tucked in travel tags and used a spiral notebook for her journaling. She breaks it all down at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
If you’ve traveled to a National Park check out the new collection from Echo Park. There’s lots of cool tags, postage, postcards, park signs and shields, trees, maps and more. The simple design has wide side borders with accents tucked in at the sides and a large “Explore” title. I came across this idea at the Echo Park Paper Instagram page.
Wendy used lots of blues on her design for a Nautical feel about a day trip to the harbor. Her 8 photos surround a thick acrylic title in the center with more boating and travel images, journaling on torn map paper and more fun acrylic accents. Take a closer look at the Bramble Fox blog.
Do you love to hop in your car with your furry best friends and head on down the road? This rustic layout from Nikki has woodgrain and vintage inspired papers, fussy cut rickrack border and some softer embellishments to like lace doily and white flowers. Take a closer peek at the 49th and Market blog.
If you aren’t the one doing to driving it’s the perfect chance to take photos out the window from the passenger seat. Brenda’s digital page has a road driving into beautiful scenery, colorful accents around the photos, a title that looks like puffy sticker and some handwritten journaling. I came across her idea in her Brendazzle gallery at Scrapbook.com.
This amazing road trip layout from Nichole is so dynamic! In the center she had a block of 5 photos with journaling on pink notebook paper along side of them but the stand out is around the edge. She used so many different travel dies to created a layered, detailed frame around the sides of the white layer. Find more details at the Simple Stories blog.
I love the blue, green and yellow color combo Pamela used on her day trip to the beach layout. She included photos of the road along the way, grabbing food and heading to the beach. She created custom titles using alphabet dies in dark green so they stand out. I came across her layout at her Passionate About Scrapbooking Instagram page.
Ashley’s cool trip layout has a grid of smaller photos (a great way to include many on one design) and a large interstate sign die filled with the road mountains and sky backed with pattern papers. I love how she added the place they travels to on the sign! She shares more info at the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
And last but certainly not least is this stunner from Kirei. She used a simple white background so all the action in the center really pops. Her photo has lots of pattern paper layers and scalloped borders underneath, there’s a fun shaker element, tucked in tied tags and clusters of pretty embellishments. Find a link to her process video at the Hey Little Magpie blog.
I hope you’ve been able to enjoy the open road and found some inspiration today to scrap about it.
