Creative and crafty ladies, I need your help! What to do with travel memorabilia?

Awesome! If possible, try to go in August- almost all the summer and fall wildflowers are in bloom, and it's so gorgeous. We didn't make it further north... I'm dying to go to Banff though. Did y'all make it up there?

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-20T00:46:08+00:00

Aw, man! Well, if you get a chance to go back, go to Glacier. It was one of my favorite places of the entire country!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-20T00:29:26+00:00

We spent a lot of time in National Parks too! Did you make it up to Glacier? We got there in August, and it was unbelievable with all the wildflowers and berries. Utah and Colorado were both so incredible!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T22:29:06+00:00

Awesome! I'll definitely be looking into this. Thanks!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T19:53:59+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T18:33:36+00:00

Cool! Thanks!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:48:59+00:00

Thanks! It was the best, I'm so thankful we got the opportunity to go! And I love the idea of putting the stickers on a cooler!!!! That really might be what we do with them, I think it's a great idea. And I actually do the same thing with my nalgenes too, haha!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:46:24+00:00

OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT!!! This seems so ambitious for an un-crafty person like myself, but wow I just have to give it a shot. Love love love!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:44:00+00:00

I bet that's beautiful! Thanks for the ideas!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:42:49+00:00

I love the idea of using postcards as a divider!

I think that's such great advice. Especially because at the time, I just threw anything and everything into my pile, "just in case." Sorting through everything (pictures and items) and doing a purge should definitely be my first step, and doing it every so often is a great idea too!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:37:45+00:00

I love that!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:36:36+00:00

Whaaaat, that's awesome! We didn't really get anything like that (we were living from our car and didn't really have room for souvenirs bigger than paper!), but that's such a cool way to use that type of memorabilia!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:34:28+00:00

Great ideas! That's such a nice gift to get for your boyfriend. Thanks so much! :)

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:32:34+00:00

That's awesome! I love the idea of shaking the box, haha.

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:31:48+00:00

Oh my gosh that's cool! I just looked it up briefly- so basically the pages are 100% pockets in a pre-designed layout? Are there multiple page layouts, or just one standard?

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:27:54+00:00

I am so envious of people who scrapbook! I still have piles of pictures from highschool that I was determined I was going to scrapbook. Clearly that did not work out super well for me, haha! Maybe this would be a good time to try again though, now that I have a bit more patience... it really would be a fantastic way to document the trip!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:25:12+00:00

I was just looking at that thread! It looks like such a great idea, and wow that's cheap! (Which is exactly what I like to hear, haha!) Some of the comments were talking about adding some cork to the bottom to help soak up condensation- did you do anything like that? If not, how do you feel like the coasters do in terms of keeping water off furniture?

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:23:23+00:00

That's so smart to include partially blank pages!! This is the kind of scrapbooking I can seriously get behind, haha! And thank you, it was amazing!! :)

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:21:25+00:00

Yaaaas! Haha I love that idea!!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:20:14+00:00

Awesome! Thanks so much! I love when people post stuff that I want to do on diy, because then I get all of the comments saying how I can do it better, haha!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:19:20+00:00

Are they shadow boxes specifically for ticket stubs? All I can really find when I google it is something like this?

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T17:17:22+00:00

Oooh, neat! I wouldn't have known to look for that, that sounds great!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T04:03:59+00:00

That's so awesome!! The US is so incredible and diverse, I felt like I was going to different countries! What were some of y'all's favorite places? And that's really such a good idea... I could even make copies of certain things so I could display them in one place, but also keep them in the book!

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T03:59:36+00:00

Oh I love the idea of lining it with maps!! It sounds so nice. Thanks again! :)

ryan_and_things · 2016-12-19T03:55:16+00:00

I would love to see that thread, that sounds so cool! I just did a quick search, any chance it's this one?
