14 Scrapbooking Traveler’s Notebooks and Page Ideas

July 21, 2023 by Heather Holbrook

14 Scrapbooking Traveler's Notebooks and Page Ideas

This amazing camp themed Traveler’s Notebook has pages made from pattern paper, pom-pom trim edges, and a beautifully decorated cover, all tied closed with ribbon. Visit the Simple Stories blog to see all the inside pages created by Cheryl.

A few years ago a new trend in scrapbooking started called Traveler’s Notebooks, they are a smaller style of album perfect for simple scrapbooking, journaling, planners and even note taking. Think of them like any other mini album but in a tall, slim size and shape. Many can be purchased or are made with the spines sewn or stapled together but some can be held together with discs or spirals, so depending on your preference you can work directly in the booklet or you can create your pages and adhere them in. I really like using Traveler’s Notebooks, also called TN’s, for a single occasion, if you don’t have too many photos it’s nice to have a more compact smaller size to work with. The smaller size also makes them convenient to take with you to easily share your scrapbooking with family and friends or to create in while on the go. I’ve gathered together some fanatic Traveler’s Notebook albums and page ideas to help you get started if you’re new to TN’s or inspire you if you’re already a pro at creating them.

I love the mix of plastic pocket page with a traditional paper page on this Gardening spread. The tab at the top helps you easily find a section in the album and there’s also a surprise element, the tag on the left pulls out to reveal another photo, what a great way to get 5 photos in a small area! Visit the Elizabeth Crafts blog for more info.

I thought I’d throw in something Holiday related if you’re working on Christmas in July projects. This amazing TN layout uses a grid pattern with 6 blocks, some have photos and some have little envelopes to tuck in more photos or journaling. Notice how the chipboard elements help add dimension to the design. Learn more on the Felicity Jane blog.
