A travel journal is a place for you to write about your trips and adventures, what you learned and the experiences you had. It’s a collection of adventures, stories and memories. It doesn’t matter where you’re going or who you’re with, but about the happy memories you made! This is a way for you to always remember your adventures using the Happy Album.<\/p>

1. Prep your pages \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A great way to make it very easy for you to journal and add to your Happy Album while you’re out and about is by prepping your pages before your trip! You can follow my layout (posted below) before you travel by cutting a designer paper diagonally in half and adhering each half to your Happy Album pages. I used the White Cardstock in Kit #15 to journal and the additional patterned paper as a background for my photos. You’re ready to add photos and captions without having to cut or paste on the go \u2013 SO easy!\u00a0<\/p>

2. Pack your materials \u2013 <\/strong>The Travel Case makes it easy to pack everything you need in one place without taking up much room. If you prepped your pages beforehand like me, then all you need to take with you is your Creative Memories Dual-Tip Pen and a Tape Runner (Hint: It fits in the Travel Case pocket)<\/em>!\u00a0<\/p>

3. Print photos on the go \u2013 <\/strong>If you’re like me and like to print your photos at any time or place, then you would love the Canon IVY Mini Photo Printer! It connects to your phone through the Canon Ivy “Mini Print” app and instantly prints a 2’x3′ photo with a sticky back \u2013 hello, no need to worry about taping!<\/em> You can also use a Polaroid camera to snap your memories on your trip. If you would rather add your photos later on, that works too!\u00a0Tip: you can use a Tape Runner or get creative by adhering your photos with washi tape or stickers from our Happy Album kits!<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>

4. Document your adventures \u2013 <\/strong>As you take photos of your adventures,\u00a0 remember to journal about them too! At the end of each day, I like to write a little journal entry about what I did and any funny or memorable moments; I then adhere my photo for that day next to it.\u00a0<\/p>

5. Share your stories \u2013 <\/strong>As we all know, when we come back from a trip everyone asks what you did and how it went! Well, what better way to show the highlights of your travels than by pulling out your Happy Album and letting them see for themselves?!\u00a0Added bonus: No need to have everyone looking through your phone to see the awesome time you had.<\/em>\u00a0Your trip will come to life in your Happy Album for everyone to see. Not to mention, you will LOVE looking back on all the experiences you’ve had.<\/p>

I went on a girls’ trip to visit my best friend in Portland and brought my Happy Album with. I loved ending each day by printing my photos and writing about my adventures! It made telling stories to my friends and family back home easy. Using my Happy Album as a travel journal allows me to document all my experiences on the go and makes it fun to look back on all the places I’ve been. I can’t wait to keep filling the pages with my stories!\u00a0<\/p>
